Something is rotten in Denmark. Or, more accurately, in Newcastle.

1) Racist axe murderer's brother, and 10 man brawler, Joey Barton says the Toon Army intimidate him.

not sure about that one. ...

2) Mike Ashley is apparently losing patience with Sam Allardyce. As, apparently, are some of the players.

Or put another way- a group of players, who have never won anything, are bitching about a manager who has never won anything. This is all part of the continued juxtaposition between Newcastle's belief and reputation as that of a big club, and the reality of that they are a club that has not won anything for a very long time indeed

Now, Allardyce may look like shrek's dad but, compared to Sammy Lee and Megson, he looks increasingly like a miracle worker at Bolton. And since his record is at least as good as his predecessors Roeder and Souness surely he should be given a little more time. But with the full PR machinery of management hungry club legend Alan shearer briefing against him I would not fancy his chances to withstand another defeat.

Meanwhile, anyone fancy a pint in Newcastle Legend Shearer's bar?http://www.nufc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Shearer/0,,10278,00.html
