Off-topic

A couple of quick non-Toon-related links, in case you're interested...

First is my attempt to overlook Newcastle's deficiencies and offer an objective appraisal of Hull's progress in adapting to life in the Premier League over on The Two Unfortunates. Sod's law that, having helped the Tigers beat us, both Robbie Brady and James Chester are now injured, isn't it?

Second, Kitman is a charming little award-winning short documentary film made by the friend of a friend about Blyth Spartans legend Tony Kennedy. Worth watching for his wasp joke and the anecdote about putting Graham Fenton's boots in the oven...

Blyth blown off-course

Saturday's afternoon off afforded me the opportunity to indulge my inner Harry Pearson and go all Far Corner by heading to watch Blyth Spartans take on Hednesford Town. Report (containing plenty of Toon references) filed here.
