MOAN U 3. THE TOON 2 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2023-2024

 Posted ‘4:26pm bells’ Thorzday 16th May 2024  (more pix etc to follow)




"WOTZ THE POINT OF VAR?" (ANTHONY GORDON)

NUFC: “FROM THE DRIVIN’ SEAT TO THE BACK SEAT DRIVER!”



*A game we shud have won woz hoyed away with horrendous defending for aall 3 of their goals and more galling numerous chances for Gordon, Isak and Longstaff, who were aall clean through the Moan U defence, but were denied by their keeper Onano! (Moan U had taken the lead through Mainoo in the 31st minute against the run of play!)

Gordon’s heel had been stood on in the box (see top photo of his ripped sock!) and a definite penalty shud have been awarded BUT VAR thought otherwise and nowt woz given??? (Gordon told hiz teem mates that VAR wud give the pen and woz completely baffled by their decision? “ Wotz the point of VAR?” he said in a telly interview after the match!



1-0 doon at the break, we came oot flyin in the 2nd half and within 4 mins of the restart we were level through Gordon with a fine shot from a Murphy cross!



The lead didn’t last lang and a few mins later wor hosts were back in front through Diallo, after a poor clearance (by Murphy I ‘Fink’?🤔)

Sub Hojlund made it 3-1 (when goalie Dubravka shud have saved it?)—-and aall looked lost until Lewis Hall pulled one back deep into stoppage time, but it woz too little too late by then!



*Attendance: 75,582 (3,000 noisy Toon fans who couldn’t beleeeve we had lost!)😡 

The defeat and Chelseee’z 2-1 win at Brightin meeenz NUFC drop to 7th and are nee langer in the drivin’ seat and must hope that Chelseee lose their last game at home to Bournemoooth and we win at Brentfaad to gan back to 6th place!

If Moan U win their last game at Brighton and we lose, we drop to 8th

If Moan U lose we stay 7th and they will finish 8th BUT! IF they win the FA Cup they will gan into the Europa Leegue and we will miss oot!


*6th place = Definate European futbaall next season—Europa League or Europa Conference Leegue

7th place = Europa Conference Leegue, IF Moan U don’t win the FA Cup!— NUFC miss oot in Europe IF they win the FA Cup

8th place = Miss oot on Europe aaltogether!


*Its bloody complicated!—Isn’t it just!?



*For some unknown reason there were 6 empty seats next to me for the entire game in the ‘ selloot ‘ away section??????🤔

The pub crawl featured just 4 boozers this time!




THE RAIN BAR. (VERY APPROPRIATE FOR MANCHESTER!)☔️

FOOTNOTE:
“DO YOO COME FROM MAN-CHEST-ER!?
 We stopped in a hotel on the outskirts of Manchester! There were 7 Toon fans and twice az many Moan U fans!
We leave yoo to draw your own conclusions!?
