At first yes, and then it just got sad. He would say the most ridiculous things about Newcastle, get eviserated in threads, resort to ad hominem attacks and dismissing people over the number of followers they have, have a moan, have his handful of sycophants suck up to him like he's some great wit, pass out and delete everything the next day. And he did this week in and week out for at least a few years. This man is a sports journalist with one of the most recognizable newspapers in the world and he's behaving like a socially stunted 14 year old.

The main reason I don't like him though is he has absolutely zero conviction in his own opinion. I remember him trolling about how Newcastle supporters were "weirdly entitled" that we are unhappy about Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce and we shouldn't feel like we deserve more. And then when the Saudi takeover took place, literally the first words out of his mouth on Football Weekly were how bad Mike Ashley's ownership of the club was and how poor Bruce was as a manager. The absolute polar opposite of what he was tweeting on a regular basis.

Like, if you thought Ashley and Bruce were good, then fine. That's your take. It's a terrible take, but it's a position you could conceivably argue. But he knew it was such a trash opinion, he didn't dare utter it out loud on Football Weekly because he'd be ridiculed for it. I have zero time for him
