That is hilarious.

Bless the Press Officer trying to keep a lid on it.

Joe Kinnear is just continuing the pantomime that is Newcastle United.

I am life long Newcastle fan, and I thought that this was hilarious!

He's only speaking the truth. All red top hacks are just out for a story and damn the truth.

Sadly, that is true, but surely we get the press we deserve? If no-one bought these papers the issue wouldn't arise. I feel sorry for JK in a way (I have sympathy with him getting annoyed), but I would have thought he would be a bit more media savvy given his years of experience. Isn't it funny when people say things like "I really don't care what the press thinks" like JK does here - when he plainly (and not unreasonably) does care.

Today we'll print the absolute truth, that you think we're *****, we can all **** off and we're slimy. Is that fair enough?

I know NOTHING about footy, but even I can see that a brainless and moronic ****** like that turd is probably not going to do much good. What a berk he is!

He's not very bright is he.

And that's why English football is as it is.

It just gets funnier and funnier doesn't it ...

I think the mods should rename the "Light Relief" forum to "Newcastle United".

Hilarious transcript of another humdrum day up North ....

Despite all, I still have a soft spot for the barcodes.
