How can anyone take ‘Joking Here’ serious

“Tired and emotional” is an oft-used euphemism to describe someone too inebriated to make any sense. But I think ‘Joe Kinnear’s drinking water’ will become my new favourite after the rubbish he spouted in the aftermath of our hard-fought point at St James’ last weekend.

Maybe he already has an eye on his next job after taking Newcastle down. If he’s looking at a career in stand-up comedy then, on this evidence, he could outwit a Bill Hicks/Chris Rock/Jimmy Carr super-clone. However, I suspect a man of his eloquence would be more suited to a Bernard Manning tribute act.

The fat Cockney foul-mouth spent most of the week trying to put Wearside into hysterics by insulting at Charles N’Zogbia, and he was at it again on Sunday.
