Would Defeat Signal End For Souness?

"Next up at St James' Park ... the Mackems ... and if we lose to that rabble, Graeme Souness should be hung by his b******s off the Tyne Bridge!

"Defeat would spell utter humiliation amid current results to the suffering Toon Army, and changes MUST be made. Many fans have heard enough about United's injury list. We've heard it for the last 13 months. Now some fans are wondering WHY so many players are crocked week after week, and that sympathy vote has now been lost.

"With players like £16m Michael Owen, £15m Alan Shearer, £8.5m Jean Alain Boumsong, £6m Scott Parker, £3.5m Emre, plus internationals Shay Given, Stephen Carr and Lee Bowyer, the feeling is that enough has been spent on supposedly guaranteed quality to produce a fair smattering of victories against mediocre opposition.

"Time is up ... lose this one and Souness MUST go!"
