1203: Rest assured, there will be Stevo's Predos at some stage today. Let's aim for 1230, that will give me just enough time to have a think about Newcastle and whether their players will have stopped laughing in time to play Blackburn later.
1159: EVERTON v LIVERPOOL TEAMS:
Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Yobo, Jagielka, Lescott, Arteta, Neville, Fellaini, Osman, Cahill, Yakubu.
Subs: Nash, Baines, Castillo, Saha, Vaughan, Nuno Valente, Rodwell.
Liverpool: Reina, Arbeloa, Carragher, Skrtel, Dossena, Kuyt, Alonso, Gerrard, Riera, Torres, Keane.
Subs: Cavalieri, Hyypia, Agger, Aurelio, Pennant, Babel, Leiva Lucas.
Referee: Mike Riley (Yorkshire).
1157: "In 2000, Joe Kinnear came a very close second to Alex Ferguson in a list of the greatest ever Premiership managers, as voted by fans. And deservedly so. What he did at Wimbledon was nothing short of extraordinary, as evidenced by what happened to them after he left. Get off his case Stevo, just cos you've got an axe to grind."

Haha. Second best Prem manager ever? Hahaha. Let's face it though pal, he did well at Luton too, but his most recent job in football was an unmitigated disaster. Trust me, I'll be delighted if he proves me wrong, but I can't see this one ending happily.
1152: By the way, if cricket's your thing, the county championship is heading for a finish today and it's very much looking like Durham are set to win their first four-day title, after beating Kent. Notts can stop them, but they need to score 442 runs at nearly six an over. Oh dear. Join the great character that is Mark Mitchener if you're keen for some leather on willow updates.

1148: But it's not all about Newcastle. There's some quality chat from the great Roy Keane again, today. Fresh from slaughtering some of Sunderland's fans in midweek, he's vowed to carry on speaking his mind as he did when he was a player. "If I upset people along the way, then tough because trust me, a lot of people upset me," said the Irishman. I'm quite sure Cloughie would wholeheartedly approve.
1143: To hopefully stop this "gag" from being sent six million times today, here we go (congrats to Liam from Liverpool on texting it in first): "Newcastle have a new manager, I'm sure there's a Joe Kinnear somewhere, oh there it is."
1139: "Joe Kinnear? Why? Was Ron Atkinson too busy?"

1134: Just when you think football cannot get any more preposterous, then Newcastle go and prove you wrong once again. I'm going to start today with a sentence I never, ever thought I would have to write: Welcome back to the Premier League, Joe Kinnear. We know what poor Shay Given thinks - anyone else got anything to say? Text me on 81111, get involved on 606. Pipe up, it's gonna be a long one.

Newcastle name Kinnear interim boss
1130: "Am I pleased? No." The reaction of a high-profile, top-class Premier League footballer, an international goalkeeper who has seen the club he has been at for 11 years lurch from one disaster to the next, on his team's new manager. Tell me punters, can you guess who it is yet?
