Newcastle boss, Sir Bobby Robson has once again won the Manager of the Month award. It is the 5th time he has won this award. Meanwhile, JJ (Jenas) has been hotly tipped by his teammates to not only be part of the future Engand setup, but to be the future England Captain.

JJ for England?

Newcastle and England's Kieron Dyer has revealed how he believes that teammate Jermaine Jenas will be a future England captain - even if he does not face Australia later this week.

"I don't think JJ will be too worried if he's not in the squad this time as it's a foregone conclusion that he will be soon," said Dyer. "I've already told him that I don't expect him to be just a future England international, but a future England captain.

"He will win over 50 caps for England, I'm certain of that."

Sir Bobby Top Boss

Robson has won the award no less than FIVE times and no-one was more delighted than Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd, who has a tremendous relationship with his manager.

Shepherd said: "What more can I say apart from he is the man? He is a one-off and if I knew what he had I would bottle it and both of us would make a fortune.

"He is the elder statesman in world football today and I cannot tell you how proud we are to have his here at St James' Park." A spokesman for the awards panel said: "As the season progresses Sir Bobby Robson's side are looking more and more like potential champions. "His guile, vast experience and ability to motivate have served him well."
