“WHERE’S THE CORNER FLAG?”
“NOT! A GOOD TIME TO BE A TOON FAN!”
After a 3 week break, after playin 2 games a week for 4 months, you would have thought NUFC would be rejuvenated, after a much needed rest, but we couldn’t be more wrang!
Yet again we played in wor aaful green away strip, when there woz nee colour clash.?
Az well az wor aaful strip, it woz an aaful game az well, az both teams put in a lack lustre performance! ð
We were marginally the better team in the forst half and we took the lead in the 43rd minute when Wil Osula fired from close range from an excellent Lewis Miley cross!
HT 1-0 to us!
The second period woz az dull az dish waataa, but the turnin point came in the 65th minute when Palace brought on Mateta, who proved to be the game changer!
Just when it looked az though we would hang on for the 3points, Mateta had other ideas and he equalised in the 80th minute with a heeder from a Mitchell centre, that Toon goalie Aaron Ramsdale couldn’t get near! 1-1
But the killer blow came deep into stoppage time, when Sven Botman needlessly grabbed Lerma’s arm in the penalty area and the ref pointed straight to the white spot!
Mateta took it, but Ramsdale woz unable to stop hiz shot az the baall entered the net 2-1 to them after 90+5minutes!
Bizarrely Wissa and Elanga were then sent on for the last minute, but not surprisingly, it woz too little tooo late az the full time whistle blew!
The dejected Toon fans gave light applause and a few booos to the team, az we made wor way to the exits! FT 2-1 to them!
Amazingleee NUFC have dropped 25 points from winnin positions this season and would be 2nd top , just 3 points below leaders Arsenal IF we could have held on to those leads!
Instead we find worsels in 14th position, with a European place now lookin a lang shot! ðŦ
Just how a ‘not so’ ‘Steady Eddie Howe’ can survive this ‘wobble’ iz anybodys guess?ðĪ
This iz NOT a good time to be a Toon fan, for certain!ðĩðŦ
Attendance: 25,141 (2,750 p*ssed off Toon fans!)
