Everton and... Everton again! Jaissle's next test

Headlines in 30 seconds or less, please, chaps.

George, Portuguese Mano HR, new head of first team recruitment, appointed.

So on Tuesday morning, Thomas Amaral was officially appointed as Newcastle's new head of first team recruitment.

This has been a position that's needed to be filled.

Newcastle lost Steve Nixon and, of course, Andy Howe over the summer.

So this was a big hole that needed to be filled.

At 35, he is merely a child and half my age.

We'll talk about him more a bit later.

Everton week, Toffee's doubleheader on the horizon, Jacob.

Well, Toffee, sounds like it could be sticky.

Thursday night, EFL Cup fourth round at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and both teams eyeing up a cup run.

And then depending on what happens, I mean, it's not even depending on what happens there.

Whatever happens, they'll meet again on Monday night at St. James' Park for the rematch in the Premier League.

A CC honours KK Keegan to become a Freeman of the City, George.

Yes, posthumously, the first time that's happened, Kevin Keegan will be given Freeman of the City status.

Sad that it didn't happen during his lifetime.

He joins such luminaries as Alan Shearer, Sir Bobby Robson, Sir Brendan Foster, Jonathan Edwards and Stevie Wonder.

And Windy McWinface and UFC get three points at a blustery Selhurst Park.

Newcastle and Crystal Palace both really needed wins it was Newcastle that got it goals from Azula and a really nice goal from Harvey Barnes

Excellent stuff.

Right then, let's start with King Kev.

News fresh in with a statement from Newcastle City Council.

Newcastle City Council is set to award its highest honour, the freedom of the city, posthumously to Newcastle United legend Kevin Keegan.

Members will vote on a motion at a special meeting of the council on Wednesday, November 4th.

If approved, it will be the first time the council has awarded its highest civic honour whatsoever.
