Newcastle FC (Aug 19)

From which point?
As the season drew to a close and he was asked constantly about his future in interviews or press conferences, I was just a bit unconvinced by his answers.

Then the silence from both camps as the expiration of his contract approached.

I see now that he had it all worked out. He can say that he fulfilled his contract, but he knew that he had a lucrative offer too.

We ended up relatively comfortable, he is obviously a good tactician, but I have not mourned his exit. Bizarrely, I am really starting to look forward to the season. I do not agree with some of the far fetched opinions some supporters have of the club. I really don't think things are that bad.
 
He'll make a few appearances and the crowd will slaver. They'll draw a couple of games late they would otherwise lose because the other side couldn't put it to bed with desperate home defending for large parts. They might even win one with a long Brucey punt onto the subs head in the 85th minute for a knock down.
Tell you what, they've fallen a long way signing Andy Carroll even on a 'pay as you play' contract or whatever it is.
