EDDIE HOWE AND HIZ BLACK 'N' WHITE ARMY!
*This woz wor 20th visit to The Etihad Stadium and 17th defeat!
(19th visit for the NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers—ax we missed 1 due to Covid!) We’ve drawn twice and have just 1 solitary victory in The Leegue Cup in 2014!
Quite simply we didn’t get oot of the blocks and had just 2 weak shots on target through Bruno and Barnes, both in the 2nd half!
Efforts from Almiron, Wilson and Barnes went wide---it just wasn't to be (Yet again at The Etihad!---wor 15th defeat here 'in a row'!--An unwanted Premyaa Leegue record at one stadium!)
The 1st half woz not very good, but from wor vantage points high up in level 3 we could see the Pennine hills in the far distance above the far stand! (And a gasometer!) When the game's not very good, sometimes your eyes and mind wanders elsewhere!
The killer goal came in the first half through Alvarez in the 31st minute, who hit an unstoppable shot past 'The Pope' (Goalie Nick Pope)
The Toon fans who got in (some didn’t coz they hadn’t bring ID like they were told to dee!) were in good voice and cheered the team on from start to finish! (See video at top of page!) Blue Moonies manager Pep even clapped us at the end!
But supporting your team non stop doesn’t get yoo any points!
