I like both Quinn and Keane, and actually hope they stay up too, because it's healthy for our region, economically, and makes our season more competitive.

My best mate works att he Stadium of Light, selling season tickets to Mackems. If they stay up, he gets a ridiculous bonus; if they finish above tenth, he gets more.

There's a funny image I have of Niall Quinn whenever I hear or read his name; at the club's Christmas do last year, Quinn hadn't arranged transport home at the end of the night, and couldn't get a taxi, so somebody had to give him a lift in three-door car. Five people were in the car (my mate was one of them), and Quinn was in the back, in the middle, with his long legs squashed to either side. He's not the smallest of fellas.
