From his disastrous tragi-comedic cameo during the final hours of Cumbrian killer Raoul
Moat's fatal stand-off with the Rothsbury police constabulary back in July or the car
crash in Newcastle's quayside district that left him hospitalised for best part of a week the month
previous, it seemed that former England star Paul Gascoigne was unravelling a
little further with every headline he stumbled his way in to.
What doesn't kill you makes you stranger so said Heath Ledger's Joker. And there's nowt stranger
than Paul Gascoigne, who seems to unravel a little more each time he hits the headlines. How long
before he's down to his very last marble?
Here's an extract of Gazza's surreal interview on Real Radio, in which he attempts to play the
negotiator, but with terrible, embarrassing results (Transcript via the excellent Sabotage
Times).
When Barry Moat's Newcastle United takeover bid failed, a lot of supporters feared that without
money to invest in players, we'd struggle to add to our already depleted squad. The current
Newcastle squad is probably just good enough to get out of the Championship, but without
further investment, it's looking bleak for our future Premier League survival.
Update: The official site now confirms that Pancrate has signed a deal that
will see him spend the rest of the season at Newcastle with an option to extend.

The people linked with Newcastle United are either perpetually stupid or completely inept.
Barry Moat has finally broken his silence regarding the Newcastle United takeover and his
failure to buy the club. In comments released yesterday Moat admitted that he too would consider
selling the naming rights for St.

Barry Moat still thinks there's a chance of him buying Newcastle United in the future. Apparently,
whilst Moat has no immediate plans to launch another bid, he will continue to think about how he
might wrest the club for Ashley in the future. Speaking to Sky Sports News he said: "For one reason
or another it didn't come [.
strong>Having so far failed in his efforts to raise the funds to tempt Mike Ashley into selling
Newcastle United to him, Barry Moat has now gone on record to suggest that the famous St James'
Park name wouldn't necessarily have been safe in his hands either. It appears he can see exactly
what Ashley is [.
The very last thing we want to hear from Barry Moat is that he didn't have enough time to buy
Newcastle. Barry Moat - just didn't have the money! The reason he wasn't successful in buying
Newcastle was because he didn't have enough money time had nothing to do with it. But we hear today
that [..
Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse, news tonight emanating from St. James Park
is that Mike Ashley has removed Newcastle United from the market and the club is no longer for
sale.
Here is the press release in full from the club's official website:
NEWCASTLE United are delighted to announce that Chris Hughton has been named the permanent
manager of the Club, his contract will run until the end of the 2010/11 season.
As we reported yesterday Barry Moat has offered the Mike Ashley £60M up-front and guarantees the
balance of £20M would be paid next season. Ashley and Moat - Moat's bid slowly gets better
However, the deal Ashley has wanted is the full £80M up front and it seems that Ashley has
rejected the offer.
According to an article posted on The Telegraph's site late last night, Mike Ashley has turned down
Barry Moat's latest £80m bid for Newcastle United even though he'd previously said he'd accept the
bid on the terms specified. What the article says is that whilst Ashley had previously rejected
Moat's offer to take £40m down and [.
We still haven't heard if the new offer from Barry Moat has been accepted by Newcastle owner Mike
Ashley. Mike Ashley his expression says it all We certainly hope it will be, if only to get rid of
the owner who has decimated the Newcastle club in his tenure over the last 28 months. History will
show [.
Would-be Newcastle United owner Barry Moat tried to persuade Richard Harpin to invest in his bid to
buy the club. Richard Harpin is the head of HomeServe and has a personal fortune of more than
£200m, which places him as one of the top 5 richest North-Easterners according to the Sunday Times
Rich List.
Chris Hughton is certain he will be appointed permanent manager at Newcastle in the next day or
two, even though negotiations are said to be continuing with Barry Moat to buy the club. Chris
Hughton Newcastle manager soon These slow moving negotiations with Moat seem to have been going on
for years that's what it [.
Still no announcement that Chris Hughton has been given the permanent manager job. Mike Ashley
second thoughts? And with the Barry Moat offer still up in the air, we'll have to wait a day or two
to see what goes on. Maybe the altercation Ashley had with the fans on Tuesday night after the
Scunthorpe defeat, [.
Newcastle United manager-in-waiting Chris Hughton, heaped praise on the players after the 2-1 win
over Doncaster Rovers at the weekend. Rumours suggested that Hughton would be appointed as
permanent manager before the game but there's been no official confirmation of that, possibly
because Ashley is still considering Barry Moat's latest offer for the club.
Newcastle have broken off talks with an American-based consortium the Star Group, fronted by
Lancashire businessman Geoff Sheard. Mike Ashley - will stay on Tyneside oh no! That news is being
reported today by the local Sunday Sun, and that leaves just Barry Moat and another American
group, as the remaining parties still wanting to [.
Apparently Barry Moat tabled an £80m bid for Newcastle United on Friday and Mike Ashley had to be
saved from angry fans by stewards during the away match to Scunny. Divven get too excited though -
it's News of the World time again. First, Barry Moat's bid. Sport of the World has apparently
'learned' that Barry Moat [.
The Newcastle club is still up for sale and Barry Moat may still be able to get the money
together to buy the club outright from the hapless Mike Ashley, although we doubt it. Clueless Mike
Ashley - when will he go? But Chris Hughton is only too willing to take the manager job at
Newcastle even [.
he long-running saga of Newcastle United's prospective takeover could be determined on Saturday
with Mike Ashley, the club's owner, due to The Times is reporting that Mike Ashley will meet with
Moat today at the game, but the discussions are not expected to last very long. Ashley and Moat all
over for Barry?
After a summer of discontent at Newcastle United, with the club having been up for sale since May,
we've failed to attract a single serious buyer. It seems Moat was all mouth and all the other
'bidders' were either publicity hunters, time-wasters or chancers who only expressed an interest in
the hope of purchasing way below [.
You see that great big ditch down there? The one big enough to swallow St. James's Park? That's
how far my heart sank when I heard the news that Chris Hughton was offered the manager's job on a
permanent basis.
Firstly, this is a huge backwards step and reeks of the lack of ambition wafting out from the
Gallowgate.
In the wake of the surreal Raoul Moat saga, Paul Gascoigne aka the most talented but also tragic
English footballer of the last 20 years checked into rehab, at an addiction centre in
Bournemouth.
Gascoigne has long since drifted into the arena of the unwell.
Paul Gascoigne, of all people, showed up at the Raoul Moat police cordon earlier this evening
and asked to talk to his friend 'Moatie'. Gazza had brought the suspected killer some food, alcohol
and warm clothing. We're not making this up.
The 1990 World Cup hero described Moat as "a good lad" and claimed there was no chance of the
man wanted in connection with three shootings trying to harm him, as they are mates.
Ex-England star attempts to end siege with "can of lager" Paul Gascoigne has arrived at the scene
of a siege with armed fugitive Raoul Moat to lend his support to the suspected killer. The
43-year-old is in the village of Rothbury, Northumbria, where Moat was rumoured to have been hiding
since shooting his ex-girlfriend, killing her [.
#3 Kickapoo Chiefs 1 #5 Nixa Eagles 2
Senior Ashlyn Robillard stepped up in the 63rd minute this evening and buried the most important
penalty kick in the Eagle's history. Her shot, into the upper half above the keeper's reach,
provided the winning margin in the District title game, giving the Eagle's their first ever win
over the Kickapoo Chiefs and just as importantly, the program's first Girl's district title (the
boys won in 2000?
#4 Ozark Tigers 1 #5 Nixa Eagles – 2
Junior Lauren Moats, the most significant addition to Girls soccer in the region this season,
delivered the knock out blow for the Nixa Eagles with the game-winning goal in the final seconds of
the rematch with Ozark this evening.
With the Seattle Sounders beginning their playoff run in the final season of U.S. goalkeeping
legend Kasey Keller, we decided to take a look back at one of the most interesting video features
we have done in the past with Kasey - a visit to his castle. And not a proverbial 'castle' - it's a
castle.
Prior to the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Keller played for Borussia Moenchengladbach in the German
Bundesliga.
The last time Gascoigne addressed the public was last spring, when, dishevelled, distracted and
more than a little confused, he arrived at the scene where the fugitive Geordie gunman Raul Moat
had been cornered by police.
Armed only with a takeaway, he was offering his services as a mediator.
In the current headlines, crazed madman Raoul Moat has been the cause of a major police hunt in
Northumbria. A different RM is copying the Metropolitan Police by hunting for something, only this
time, Roberto Mancini is on the hunt to bring success to the City of Manchester Stadium for the
first time in 34 years.
It has come to our attention that since you were in prison, 2 England footballer's were
conducting extra-marital affairs with your former partner Miss Stobbart.
The two culprits for your immediate attention are John Terry and Ashley Cole.
New manager.. check. New players.. check. Lower wage-bill.. check. So this is this the start of
a new era at the Riverside. In a recent interview Steve Gibson declared the need to change the
style of football we play at the club from a technical style of play to a more rugged and
hard-working style.
There comes a point at which inept management crosses an invisible rubicon and passes into
something even more depressing and worrying. There can be little arguing with the case for the
prosecution. Ashley's time in charge of the club has been an unmitigated disaster. He oversaw
relegation from the Premier League when the club had the fifth highest wage budget, has managed to
almost the entire support of the club and managed to fail to sell the club when it had a buyer
which seemed keen to tie up a deal to secure the purchase of it from him.
