Pontius Pilate crucifies the Messiah...

Yeah, he went and did it...

Ashley forced out one of the Biggest, Best, Most Knowledgeable, Experienced, Passionate men in Football...

His blasé nature truly does know no bounds...

Ah well, "One Step Forward, Three Steps Back" United, take on Hull City on Saturday 13th...

Yet despite all the talk of protest, the stadium will be likely still full of at least 50,000 fans calling Mr Ashley's name worse than muck, but every one of them will be doing little or nought to resolve it, or at least protest about it.

Such is life here in Geordieland. No one ever said it was simple, plain, or boring.

So to close, a Message to Kevin...

Kev, we that matter KNOW why you had to go, or moreover, were FORCED out...

We love you more for sticking to your principles in wanting to take the Club forward, but being refused leave to do so by the powers that sadly be, rather than hold anything against you for going...
