THE TOON v THE ARSE ***TODAY @ 4 BELLS!**** THE FINAL CURTAIN CAALL!

Posted '9:25am bells' Sunday 19th May 2013


ST JAMES' PARK FROM LEAZES PARK
(TAKEN ON THORSDAY***WHEN IT WAZ SUNNY!)

The final day of season 2012-2013 iz upon us in wot will be wor 54th competitive game of the campaign  
This iz now a 'no pressure game' for us, az we are thankfully, safe from 'the abyss'!--So lets hope we can 'play' for a change!

Stevie Harper makes an unexpected but welcome appearance in hiz 199th and last ever game for the club and he will receive a standin' ovation from the capacity crowd az he runs towards the Leazes/Gallowgate End az the teams come oot the tunnel!

Captain 'Fab' Coloccini iz aalso expected to make his final 'curtain caall' for us and we wish him well for the future, if (az expected) he 'jumps ship' back to Argentina!

It's a foggy day here on Tyneside az aa speak and heavy rain iz forecast this afternoon!

This IZ a 'pressure game' for 'The Arse' of course, who are in pole position for a Champions Leegue place in their race with their arch enemies 'Sporz' to avoid the 'dreaded'<(and don't we know it!) Europaa Leegue!--- 'Sporz' just so happen to be playin' the SMBs @ White Hart Lane @ the same kick off time!

We can anly hope that both 'Sporz' and worsels can 'de the business' today, which will mean we could finish in a 'mind bogglin' TENTH position shud othaa results gan wor way? <(very unlikeleee we finx!)

'The Arse' az we aall naa painfully scored SEVEN against us @ their place orlier on this season and have the best defensive away record in 'The Premyaa' this season, havin' conceded just 14 goals!---On top of that WE havvent won wor final home game of the season for SIX years! <(so that's an easy three points for us then!)

Steve Taylor and Cheik Tiote are available for selection but there are doubts aboot Haidara, Santon and 'The Sissoko Kid', while Shola Ameobi iz expected to miss oot aaltogether and we understand that he will not even be on the subs bench!

The final day will start off @ 'high noon bells' in 'The Duke of Welly' in High Bridge, before we move on to 'The Monkey Bar' and 'The Companions Club'! <(and then the match!)

A full report of the 'last day' of this torrrid season will be forthcomin' sometime later toneet or tomorrow mornin'! <(dependin' on the result and how much 'liquid lubrication' haz been consumed!)
