Yes ... we all know Mike Ashley has just about given up on the club ... letting Joe Kinnear take the pressure up here on Tyneside, without even a visit to SJP. That 'crunch meeting' in London was cancelled, as Ashley reverts to texting!
Kinnear says he received a "nice text" from Ashley after Newcastle's draw at Stamford Bridge.Ashley Cancels Meeting - Now It's Down To Texting Kinnear!

Kinnear: "I don't know about that, but what I do know is that I have received a text from Mike saying that Newcastle United got a fantastic result at Stamford Bridge and he was happy and proud.
"He said he thought our defending was well-organised and added that, apart from games against the other members of the so-called big four, he had not seen Chelsea so well held for a long time."
