Toon Kid Destined For Top!

United picked him up for a bargain £250,000 from Swindon Town after just a handful of games at the County Ground.

Sadler: "There was a distinct improvement in our back four in the reserves at the end of the season, and Ben Tozer was one of the reasons for this.

"We were much more solid than we had been before Ben came into the team because he is a big, strong player, and all credit to him.

"He has a tremendous desire to improve and get better and a great desire to learn all he can about the game.

"As far as this country is concerned, Ben was born and bred at the opposite end, but he has what I like to call the Geordie mentality.

"He has that passion to win and he is the sort of player who is not afraid to put his body on the line for his team and colleagues with the way he defends.

"He has stepped into a bigger arena at Newcastle than he was used to at Swindon but he has fitted in very well. In fact, it has all been like water off a duck's back to him.

"Newcastle United is a big, big stage, but Tozer has the right attitude and temperament to cope with it all, and while he is on a steep learning curve he will be OK."

MR KIPPLING TALKS EXCEEDINGLY GOOD ... BOLLOX!

According to a study by the cake manufacturer: "Geordies are the gloomiest people in the country".

Newcastle is the unhappiest city in the UK, and they claim that nearly half the people in the city were unhappy about their financial situation, a third were demoralised by work, and a quarter were dissatisfied with heir social lives.

And all this came from a tart with a dodgy hairstyle handing out free cakes outside Fenwicks.

Half said the cakes were "shite", three-quarters asked "how much do you charge to hide the sausage", and one third asked if Mr Kippling was still undergoing treatment for his mental illness.

The survey said the happiest place was Bristol!

And kidding apart, the Bristol Clifton Suspension Bridge has the HIGHEST suicide rate in the country .... FACT!

We want to see a boycott of Mr Kippling cakes in Newcastle! If you happen to have some ... send them to us ... and we will dispose of them.
