FRom the ever excellent Mediawatch on F365: Line By Line Joe Kinnear might be unwell. We might be dreadful people for laughing at him. But, as Newcastle have apparently given him a job that would seem to indicate all/most of his mental faculties are there, it's OK to mock him. Kinnear spoke to SHOUT...

My guess of Burnley (h) is out then!

Correct

I'm not trying to come across as a complete ar5e here, but the other thread does actually include predictions on who people reckon we will get on the opening day.
