"IT'S WOR CUPS!”
NUFC played 2 teams ower the weekend with 2 different startin' line ups and won them both!
Forstly, we played Girona of Spain on Friday neet when we easily won 4-0 with aall the goals comin' in the forst half at The Gallowgate End!
The sequence of events woz az follows:
4th minute: A Livramento pass finds Longstaff and he shoots from 10 yards oot to put us 1-0 up!
13th minute: Lewis Hall heeds the baall across the box and Murphy vollys home to double wor lead!
16th minute: Isak finds Gordon with a through baall and he moves forward to shoot past the Gerona keeper to treble wor lead!
19th minute: Isak woz hauled doon in the box and the ref pointed straight to the spot. Isak took it but hit the baall to their goalie's right and he managed to get a hand to it and the penalty woz saved!
38th minute: Longstaff gets hiz 2nd goal after Joelinton heeded against the bar and the baall fell nicely for him to quadruple wor lead before half time!
We couldnt add anymore in the 2nd period and had to 'settle' for a 4 goal win!
Attendance: 31,958 includin 4 or 5 Girona fans who we spotted in The Gallowgate concourse!----None on level 7 of The Leazes End where away fans normally sit! (We estimated that there were 30,000 Toon fans in attendance!)
Day 2 of the weekend saw us play Brest of France for a chance to win the 'prestigious'? Sela Cup! (The Girona game wasn’t a Sela Cup game!)
The Geordie Times swapped ends for this game and we were in The Leazes corner az opposed to The Gallowgate corner the previous day!
The anly goal of the game woz az follows:
Lloyd Kelly passed to Harvey Barnes az he sped doon the wing and he cut in to strike a MAGnifecent shot into the far corner of the net at The Leazes End in the 15th minute!
The best goal of the 5 in 2 days!
Brest, who like Girona the day before, have qualified for The Champions Leegue were much better than Friday's opponents and had several chances to equalise but Dubravka in The Toon goal made some excellent saves to deny the Frenchmen who had a smaall smatterin of fans in level 7 of The Leazes End!
NUFC held on though to win The Sela Cup, a 'titillating' experience against Brest (sic!) The cup woz presented at full time alang with the lasses win v Inter Milan women orlier on, to give us 2 trophies in ONE DAY!----UNPRESEDENTED!
Attendance: 33,760 (30 or so Brest fans in level 7)
We predicted that the crowd woz 33,000!---So we wornt far off!
*THE GEORDIE TIMES—A GROVELLIN’ APOLOGY!
We said that The Toon lasses played Inter Milan, when in fact they played AC Milan!
Wor excuse iz that we didnt see the lasses game az we were consuming vast amoonts of ale at the time in The Leazes End Companions boozer in the shadows of SJP, az that game woz played!
We arnt really into lasses futbaall, but wish them every success in the future!
Thanx to eagle eyed ‘Jimmy the Riddler’ for spotttin wor misstayk!
(At least we got ‘Milan’ reet!)
🤪👍🏁
