HATS OFF TO the Chronicle who have perfectly captured the utter despair among Newcastle fans following Joe Kinnear’s appointment.

In the end, they collected reader reaction and compiled the best bits for this page one splash:
The back page is just as good, referencing Kinnear’s bizarre interview on Talksport last night and his inability to properly pronounce the name of managing director Derek Llambias and star midfielder Yohan Cabaye.
If you missed that interview and want a good lunchtime laugh, it’s right here:

Never a dull moment in this years tour!
May the best drugs win!
Ah yes, the same old reply about drugged riders… because cycling is the only sport with this problem.
Anyway, some balls on boonen finishing the last 50km on a broken wrist or collarbone.
And because cycling isn’t the only sport, that makes it ok then?
Who said it is okay? There is an issue and UCI are great at looking like they care about it, in reality its a comfortable setup for all involved and they will never rock the boat.
My issue is with the generic ‘all on drugs’ type responce from the average person with no interest in cycling. You can say the same about most profesional sports.
The football equivalant of ‘they are all on drugs’ would be somebody saying ‘the problem with arsenal is they always try and walk it into the net’
