Quick Update

I'm not gone if you were wondering where I went after my last update.

My apologies, I've been pretty busy with work, fraternity, academics and a lot of movies. I'm happy in a sense that I'm getting a lot out in a single day, waking up everyday at 6:30am, work for about 8.5 hours, come back, shower, eat and hang around at Delta Sig or do my online class readings and assignments, then go back to sleep around 12 or so. I'm starting to survive yet again on a short sleep cycle, but since its consistent, I don't feel as tired. Plus, there's the weekend quality movie watching run that has continued for some time. Really good movies the past few weekends.

So that's what I've been up to. If you wanted to know. I'll try blogging more often.

Newcastle finally chops Souey

The day has finally come.

With the horrid 3-0 defeat against Manchester City which left us hanging in 15th place, Newcastle board finally made the right decision by sacking manager, Graeme Souness.

I must admit, I was never in support of him, even when he was appointed. It has been a rough 16 months with him at the helm. He bought time off the chop by getting Michael Owen, but I knew he wasn't going to last for long.

Oh, this makes me so happy. I've been waiting for this. Glenn Roeder and Alan Shearer will take care on a temporary basis, but since none of them have the licence to coach, they cannot do so permanently. But whatever it is, it's a start. Who should be hire next, Stuart Pearce? Martin O'Neill? Being Sir Bobby back?

I've noticed that only former Newcastle players or those who are from Newcastle can be successful being the manager of Newcastle, as evident by the last decade under Keegan and Robson. So that should be good enough clue. If for some reason we cannot get them, then someone should come in for a year or two, while Shearer gets his licence and then put him at the helm.

Oh, and we need a complete re-shuffling of the physio department. Bad managers and constant injury's what's holding the club back.
