THEY SACKED ROBBO!

They sacked Sir Bobby Robson! No one sacks Sir Bobby Robson! This is preposterous! Not that he was doing such a brilliant job, but the audacity!

"Today's news brings a dramatic conclusion to an eventful few months on Tyneside which has seen one of the country's most newsworthy clubs excel itself.
First there was skipper Alan Shearer's warning in the wake of Patrick Kluivert's arrival that he would not be prepared to sit on the bench, and then came Robson's insistence that he had no idea that his current contract would be his last.
A bout of highly-contagious conjunctivitis, which forced the Magpies to close their training headquarters on the eve of the new season, blurred the vision further, although it was midfielder Kieron Dyer's refusal to play on the right side of midfield in the opening day fixture at Middlesbrough which hit the headlines next.
Dyer's subsequent apology after being booed while on England duty at St James' Park did little to ease the tension, but there were bigger stories to come.
Jonathan Woodgate's shock departure for Real Madrid and the club's subsequent bids for Wayne Rooney left fans shellshocked, and striker Craig Bellamy added fuel to the fire when he suggested he would have to consider his options if Rooney were to arrive, later admitting he had spoken in haste and re-asserting his commitment.
But Robson's departure after a series of indifferent results - draws against Middlesbrough and Norwich in games which had already been won and defeats by Tottenham and Villa - became inevitable, if not the timing of it. "
