The title says it all really - I haven't blogged much about football this season for the plain and simple reason supporting Newcastle United has been too depressing. A throughly depressing season ended on a throughly depressing note with relegation to the Championship (the 2nd tier of English football / soccer). It was particularly depressing because we could have saved ourselves with one measly point but instead we lost to Aston Villa. Here is hopin we can have a serious overhaul in the summer, clear out some of the dead wood and above all keep Alan Shearer as our manager hopefully Mr Ashley can do something right for once! - Alan Shearer is the only person now who can pull us round and help us bounce next season - lets keep the faith and stay united
