A week is a long time in football

And so Black & White & Read All Over is nearly a week old. And what a week in which to start a Newcastle blog. In that short time I feel like I've aged by about ten years...

Thanks are due to all those who've offered support in the form of comments, plugs and links - it's been particularly appreciated in such traumatic times: Inspector Sands (All Quiet In The East Stand), Dead Kenny (Parallax View), Pete (Round And White), ILuvNUFC (Look At This...), all at New Links, Lark (Upton Lark), Jonathan (Crinklybee), BykerSink (It's Wrong To Wish On Space Hardware), John (Sore Eyes) and Damo. Apologies if I've missed anyone out.

But whoever you are and however you got here, we hope you enjoy it and we look forward to seeing you around these parts again soon. You never know - by next week we might have worked out why the commenting system isn't doing what we want it to and why we can't get the posts to break down into paragraphs...
