Thank you Newcastle United. This season could have been dire, but the team are united and the results in the league generally are more than enough to raise the spirits. Today, on the Beeb, they annihilated Ipswich Town at Portman Road four goals to nil and sent the club back to the top of the league. I felt sorry for the Ipswich fans because they were there, not just to support their team, but also to commemorate Sir Bobby Robson and his cancer charity. All the memories of the glory Bobby brought to them was in stark contrast to the present-day reality. They could be following their East Anglian rivals, Norwich, down the trap door. At least the menfolk could ogle the beautiful singer Laura Wright who, draped in the scarves of both NUFC and ITFC, belted out one of Sir Booby's favourite tunes - My Way. With his widow pitchside, being bravely stoical but you could tell the sadness in her eyes, it was most moving. Then Lady Elsie cut the ribbon opening the stand renamed in her husband's honour and the balloons - signifying the charity and the number of games Bobby was at the helm of Ipwich for (709) - were released. Then after half-time the rout continued, with Kevin Nolan claiming his first professional hat-trick and a clean sheet the icing on this black-and-white cake.
