I've had so many up's and down's as a Toon fan. This season I had great expectations, I mean who wouldn't if your team add's Nicky Butt and Patrick Kluivert to an already top 5 side. Things went really bad and disputedly, the decision was made to rid of Robson and in with Souness.

I can't fault with Souness (and Terry McDermot! he has to be mentioned!) have done in the last 3 months. Getting rid of Bellamy has seen 8 wins on the trot and with Faye, Boumsong and Babayaro there is belief and solidity in the side.

Last night Dyer was fantastic, he was also great against Tottenham.

Just hope it continues and Souness proves his doubters wrong.
