Good to see Newcastle finally getting some points and i'm sure Souness is a very relieved manager tonight, seeing his side make a timely jump up the table. Had the team screwed up today i think he would have been spending some time explaining the predicament to Freddie Shephard.

If you think football fans in the UK are diehards, the surgeon we know out here in the states must be a fanatic. This morning he left for a 7 1/2 drive to watch Notre Dame vs Michigan State in an American Football game. This was a College game, not even Pro football. Then he drives 7 1/2 hours back. Thats dedication.
