Sad sight this. The current chairman is killing Doncaster Rovers. We were in championship when he started his take over. John Ryan had kept us alive in conference and took us all way to championship. This mob took over, now we are playing infront of a few thousand playing the worst football I have ever seen at Rovers, even worse than when we were in the conference which is where we will be heading next year if there isn't changes at the top.

Heartbreaking for Rovers fans to see. They should be ashamed.

They quote sales on attendance figures. There was probably 2-3000 today but it will ve reported as 5500 at a guess. Loads of season ticket holders have stopped coming.

Callum Wilson

I have tried to write about how good this season has been for a Newcastle United fan and not really known what to say without appearing like a dick revelling in the new found wealth. Yes, this is the most enjoyable season for a long time, and maybe the best ever no matter what comes next (eggs and chickens). But, Callum Wilson cost £20M. No money in the modern game. Before the money came to Newcastle. Seeing him, and the likes of Murphy, Almiron, Schar and Joelinton boss the league is pure joy to watch.

The money can go as quickly as it came. So many people are just waiting to pounce. Who could have predicted Russia invading Ukraine and Chelsea being f####d? But they cannot take this season from us. Watching a lad who has played in the Conference at one time scoring goals in front on 50,000 + on road to Champions League football is sublime. Proper English/Newcastle number 9, Callum Wilson, love the kid!

I'm a big Wilson fan. I think he could play in any team in prem, including city. Just think he is maybe becoming a little injury prone, staying fit is THE difference to become a top player.

He has always been injury prone. That's the only reason Newcastle got him for £20M. But has a few more years left in him hopefully now that he is being looked after by people who know what they are doing.

Hope they keep it up mate and he is a excellent player, seen loads of plastic fans since the takeover but can tell them from the proper fans

Came across an old photo of Jimmy Greaves and Bobby Moore in the hotel in Hendon, where the England team stayed throughout the 1966 World Cup tournament. Looks a rather relaxed setup. Can you imagine Alf Ramsey's instructions for the day... "OK Greavsie, You sit there and puff your way through a pipeful of Condor Flake, and Bobby you sit there and have a doze for an hour."

Gazza is driving through Newcastle city centre when he is stopped by the lights. An old geezer on his bike pulls level with Gazza and motions him to wind down his passenger window. The old geezer starts tearing into Gazza. " you are a f****n waster, you ruined your life snorting coke, drinking yourself into stupors, chasing dirty women and eating Mars bars." 

"f**k off" says Gazza as the lights change.

Two hundred yards down the road Gazza is stopped by a red light again. The old man catches up with him again." You should have gone to Man Utd you prat and whats this infatuation with Raol Moat all about?"

The lights change and Gazza drives off again.

Four hundred yards down the road Gazza hits another red light. He sees the old man peddling furiously , obviously intent on dishing out another mouthful of abuse. Very quickly Gazza loosens his belt, pulls his trousers and underpants down and moons out of the passenger window just as the old fella arrives level with the car.

The old fella, takes his glasses off, gives them a rub and says  " aye you're another useless f****r Peter Beardsley".
