The Toon gan into this game at SJP lookin to break the club record of winnin 10 consecutive games in Leegue and Cups, while The Cherry Pickers of Bournemoooth (Their nickname's 'The Cherries'--get it?) are lookin to stay undefeated for the 11th time in a row!
So if anybody thought that it would be an eazy game against 'little Bournemoooth' then Fink again!
We are at (near) full strengh for this game again (apart from 'Fab' Schar and 'The Pope') and a win would propel us up to 3rd place in the Premyaa Leegue table, for the time bein' at least and within 6 points of The Liverbirds at the top of the tree---although they will have 2 games in hand az they play after us! (Az dee the rest of the chasin pack!)
Lets 'gan for it' and hope that we can dee it and that 'Alexander the Great' (Isak) can score in hiz 9th sucessive game to extent hiz club record of 8, which he achieved on Wedinzday v Wolves!
We hear that 'The Cherry Pickers' will have a very smaall followin coz of the 'graveyard' '12:30 bells'πkick off slot for live telly! (just 300 we hear, will make the 750 mile roond trip, leavin at midneet, we beleeeve!) (The curse of live TV!)
To compensate for the ridiculous KO time, many bars and clubs will oen orlier before the match and 'The Leazes End' (stroke) 'Companions Club' which iz within 'hocklin distance' of The East Stand, will open at '9:30 πbells' in the mornin'! (For 'Dry January' drink 'Dry Cider'!)π»π»π»π»
A full Geordie Times match report will appear here sometime on Sunday!-----Lets hope its a 'good'in'!?
