MICHAEL: Newcastle is a club with a proud history and fantastic, passionate fans.
CROWD: OWEN! OWEN! OWEN!
INTERVIEWER: So you didn't need convincing?
CROWD: OWEN! OWEN! OWEN!
MICHAEL: Does that give you your answer?
INTERVIEWER: Who was it that swayed it for you? Your old mate Alan Shearer?
CROWD: SHEARER! SHEARER! SHEARER!

The spooky thing is, if you saw the press conference you will realise that this is pretty much what happened,verbatim, but minus the bit about Newcastle Utd being a sleeping giant. Which of course they aren't, and never have been.
They DID say 'sleeping giant'. They did, they did, they did.
Other sleeping giants:
The Villa
The Wednesday
Corinthians
Barry White
Notts County
The mighty Hednesford Town FC
Manchester Utd
Hattie Jacques
The reflexologist off Corrie who is trying to get off with Gail so he can find out about Richard Hillman.
