Look after the players and the c**ts will look after themselves

Welcome to another Saturday blog.

Or if your Joe Kinnear, another f****ng c**ty Saturday blog.

I start this morning by bringing you some breaking news on the Newcastle saga.

Apparently the contents of Kinnear’s swear box means he’s now able to buy the club from Mike Ashley.

Not bad for a mornings work.

With all the poise and grace of a rejected X Factor contestant Kinnear let rip at the clubs press conference angry at the way club affairs had been reported in the media.

If you haven’t read/heard it already then do it immediately.

It was like the Hollyoaks late night version of Kevin Keegan's “I’d love it” rant.

Fifty two swear words were recorded in five minutes, a record I think only broken by that episode of South Park, the N.W.A and Gordon Ramsey.

What I particularly enjoyed was the way the bloke from the Daily Mirror thanked Joe for calling him a c**t.

It was like it was the greatest compliment he’d ever received. Although writing for the Daily Mirror it probably is.

I know he was attempting to avert any further confrontation with JK but Kinnear could probably have said anything and he would’ve accepted it.

Imagine:

JK: Which one is Simon Bird?

Bird: Me.

JK: You’re a c**t and I’ve just fucked your mother.

Bird: Thank you Mr. Kinnear, she needed that. Do you want me to finish you off?

It was lunacy.

Then rather brilliantly the press officer after about twenty minutes of effing and jeffing half-heartedly tried to ask if they could bring it back to football.

It was like the work of a beleaguered housewife asking “Can’t you kids just play nicely for a change…?”

But what got me thinking was if this could prove to be a masterstroke by Kinnear to take pressure off other areas of the football club.

By creating the sort of atmosphere between him and the press normally only reserved for Spurs fans and Sol Campbell he is putting pressure firmly on his back and off the rest of the football club.

After all, he worked under the siege mentality at Wimbledon for all those years. Maybe this was a way of galvanising the players into a tight unit.

An “us against the world” attitude could prove vital in JK’s minute tenure at the club.

We can only see what the reaction of the player’s is against Everton tomorrow.

My only hope is that Michael Owen doesn’t start calling everybody a c**t in his post match interview.
