THE LIVERBIRDS v THE TOON **** TOONEET @ 8 !

Updated '8:40am bells' Munday 13th April 2015


£52 FOR A VIEW LIKE THIS!

At the time of writin' this we are still NINE points above the 'abyss' az wor season peters oot with 7 games to play.
On current form we are the worst side in the top flight and just where wor next points are comin' from iz anybodys guess?

We haven't won at Anfield for 20 years and are very unlikely to do so tomorrow evenin' eetha! <(Last 19 attempts---won 0, drawn 3, lost 16!)

Results ower the weekend includin' the mackems 4-1 revorse to Pardews Palace, brung a rare smile to Toon supporters faces in this dismal season!

We are travellin' ower the Pennines this afternoon in mee 'canny tranny' 9 seater <(4 seats empty!)  and shud be in Scouseland by '6 bells' at the latest! 

We told yoo that we had anly sold 850 tickets for The Anfield Road End orlier this week, but even that low number waz too high and in fact just 800 diehards will be in attendance come '8 bells' <(a shockin' indication of wor desperate plight!) <(high ticket prices (£52!), boycotts and live Munday neet telly are the main reasons for this!)
But 'The Geordie Times' 'sadists' WILL be there of course, watchin' through open fingers! to bring yoo a match report and pix on Tuesday!

History lesson: We forst played Liverpool @ Anfield 122 years ago on 4th November 1893, when we were thrashed 5-1 with Bill Thompson gettin' wor anly goal in front of an 8,000 crowd!

In total we have played 'The Liverbirds' 171 times, winnin' just 49, drawin' 41 and losin' 81 times!

Geordie Times history: 47 years ago on 26th October 1968---we lost 2-1 with Tommy 'Gibbo' Gibb gettin' wor goal---Attendance 45,323 (Archive match report from this game below!)
