A pivotal trip to White Hart Lane is on the holiday horizon. Slow your roll, though. First, we
need to navigate this potentially tricky venture to Greater Manchester on Saturday.
Hey, it's Franco
On paper, away to Wigan doesn't appear to be too much trouble.
Renaming extravaganza If you're having a laugh at Newcastle fans and their newly renamed Sport
Direct Arena ground this morning, just pause for a second and put yourself in their shoes. What
would happen if you club's owner or majority shareholder decided to rename your stadium after one
of their other business interests?

Bolton Wanderers lifted themselves off the bottom with a deserved win away to
Wigan.
If you're a regular reader of this blog you'll know by now I have a lot of pet hates with
regards to the professional game and I always speak from the heart. Sometimes that gets me into
trouble or I can't quite articulate my true feelings on a subject but I'll try my best this
time:
- The game against Real Madrid is NOT the most important game in our history
- Until Sunday morning we shouldn't even be discussing that game
- I'm more concerned about who's fit to face Wigan than Real Madrid at the moment
Unfortunately with today's press being the way they are, they will only concentrate on what's
good for them.
