FT Beljim resorves 1 Ing-er-land resorves 0
To leave top goal scorer and captain Harry Kane oot of the startin' X1 and make EIGHT changes to the team that annialated Panamaar 6-1 iz unforgiveable!
Wot the hell Soothgate woz 'fink'in aboot iz anybody's guess!
And so it came to pass that they lost 1-0 in a terrible match against Beljim (who themsels made NINE changes from their previous game!) and will face Columbee-aa (16th in the rankings!) instead of Japaan (61st in the rankings!) in the next roond, which could well end in tears yet again!----Lets hope not!
A total selection shambles if yoo ask us!
PS: Some have said that finishin 2nd meenz that Ing-er-land have an easier run in and will have an extra day off!
8 of those who played against Beljim WONT start against Columbee-aa anyway so it wouldnt make any difference!---would it?

NUFC SEASON TICKET DEADLINE EXTENDED!
Posted 3:50pm bells' Tuesday 26th Joon 2018
News reaches The Geordie Times that the deadline for season tickets renewals haz been extended by a week!
Lookin' between the lines we 'fink' that many fans are unhappy aboot the 20% price hike for some tickets (£120 in some cases!),
plus the fact that we have still to sign an outfield player in the summer transfor window! (ie: they wont commit themselves til then!)
Hopefully this will push wor 'beloved'? absent owner into givin ' Rafa the Gaffa' some much needed 'dosh' to buy players before the window closes!
Rafa haz been spotted at St James' Park today, (for talks we presume) to get some clarity to which direction we are headin' (up the table to Europe OR doon hill again!)
We will of course keep yoo, wor loyal subjects posted to any developments on that score!
(One day late az per usual!๐จ)

Az a'v nevaa been to Barrow's groond before, which iz a former leegue groond, it woz with long thought and careful consideration (aboot 5 seconds!) that I decided to 'bin' the flight to Dublin and catch the train to Barrow instead on the same day!
After the match in Barrow it's anothaa train orly the next mornin to Holyhead via Warrington---and then onward by ferry to Dublin!
A bit of a carry on, but bein a former leegue side, Barrow's Holker Street groond iz one a'v aalways wanted to tick off 'mee list'!

(Brief trip report---more to follow much later!)
The lang trip to Rushaa started off on the Wednesday mornin' @ '3:30 bells' when the taxi pulled up and we were whisked off to Toon Airport for the '6 bells' flight to Brussels.
From there we boarded wor next flight not lang after landin' and arrived in Moscow some 12 hours after leavin' Tyneside.
Customs waz suprizingleee easy to get through, (which we didn't expect) and we were soon on wor way to wor hotel which waz an hours train ride away plus havin' to negotiate THREE Metro lines to get there!<(it waznt easy!)<(it waz aall in Rushan!)
It waz in the middle of newhere next to a buildin' site and after a quick wash n brush up it waz doon to the bar for a quick pint before heedin' off to Red Square!
Unbelieviblee it waz ower NINE QUID a pint and so I opted to stay 't-total' until we reached Red Square!<(a'd anly brung £100 spendin' money, thinkin' that that would be enough!)
One taxi ride later and we were there, but it wasnt cheap there eetha, with beer between four and six quid a pint!
Next day it waz match day and we decided to gan to the groond orly to suss the place oot before heedin' across Moscow to visit Locomotiv Moscow's groond in the suborbs!
Temperatures were reportedly minus ten in the bitin' wind and so (az yi de!) several liquids were consumed before heedin' back to Red Square for the afternoon session.
From there it waz onward to the match which kicked off at '9 bells' local time (5 in England)
70 odd faithful who had managed to get visas in time were in the away section behind the goal, plus a fortha 30 or so Rushans who were there to support us, givin us a total followin' of ower 100!
Anzi fans were in the main stand and there looked to be 4 or 5,000 of them who had made the thoosand mile jorney from Dagestan az the match kicked off, with the rest of the 78,000 seater stadium totally empty!
The temperature had dropped sharply by this time and mee 'plates of meat' were startin' to freeze up, despite iz havin' two pairs of thick socks on!
And az predicted by us, an understrength Toon X1 side started the game. (see team line up below)
The forst half waz az borin' az it gets and the anly action of note waz when Rob Elliot in The Toon goal tipped a shot ower the bar near the end of the half!
The plastic pitch didnt help of course and the 2nd half wasnt much better although Ben Arfa makin' hiz retorn after injury shud have done better when he tried to chip their keeper in front of the 73 Toon fans!
Obertan aalso had a rare shot that he blazed ower the bar but that waz aboot it and we look forward to the 2nd leg next Thorsday @ St James'
Toon team: Elliot, Simpson, Yanga, Perch, Haidara, Cabaye (Tiote 84), Anita (Steve Taylor 75), Ben Arfa (Shola Ameobi 64), Marveaux, Obertan, Sissoko
Attendance: 5,000 (73 Toon fans plus 30 Rushan Geordies az mentioned!)
It waz then back to Red Square for somemore liquid refrehments before heedin' back to the hotel in the orly hours!
By the next day the 'bit' had run oot and we had to get some more to satisfy wor 'thirst requirements'! and it waz then the 'torturous' jorney back yem via the Moscow Metro/train/2 flights and then WOR Metro from Toon Airport and finally a bus from 'the Central' and I arrived at mee front door @ '10:30 pm bells last neet totally 'cream crackered'!--"ZZZZZzzzzz!!!!!"

From there we boarded wor next flight not lang after landin' and arrived in Moscow some 12 hours after leavin' Tyneside.

It waz in the middle of newhere next to a buildin' site and after a quick wash n brush up it waz doon to the bar for a quick pint before heedin' off to Red Square!
Unbelieviblee it waz ower NINE QUID a pint and so I opted to stay 't-total' until we reached Red Square!<(a'd anly brung £100 spendin' money, thinkin' that that would be enough!)
