Posted ‘high noon ๐ bells’ on the train back from Bormingham where we stopped on the way back from Sooothampton!
“10 OOT OF 11 !”
*Put it simply, we didn’t play well and despite havin the orly chances az we kicked towards the far goal from the away end, Sooothampton took a shock lead with virtually their forst attack in the 10th minute, when Bednarek heeded home unmarked, from a Bree cross! 1-0 to them!
However!— it seemed to wake us up and within 15minutes we were level, when Isak woz brought doon in the box and after a lang VAR check a penalty woz awarded!
Isak took it himself and sent their goalie the wrang way to send the 3,000 Toon followers wild with delight!—Az we were still celebrating that goal, Isak ran through the Sooothampton defence and convorted a fantastic through baall from Jacob Murphy, to put us 2-1 up, with hiz shot gannin in off the post!
This woz ‘Alexander the Great’s 48th goal in the Premya Leegue era and he iz now the 2nd highest scorer for NUFC behind Alan Shearer!(148 goals) (‘just’ 100 behind!) AND! he's the forst NUFC player to score in 5 consecutive Premyaa Leegue away games!๐
Joelinton hit the post just after this, but we had to settle for a 2-1 lead at the half time interval!
Just 6 minutes after the restart, Anthony Gordon threaded a great through baall to Sandro Tonali and with just their goalie to beat, he placed a precision shot into the corner of the net, to send ‘the faithful’ in the corner section behind that goal, into meltdoon! 3-1 to us!
Jacob Murphy then hit a fantastic shot, which agognisingleee hit the post, but the baall boonced to safety!
We were still not 100%, losin possession and slack markin’ time after time, but Sooothampton were that poor we got away with it!
A late scare then happened when Schar inexplicably let the baall gan ower hiz heed to let Fernandez in, who then raced doon the the pitch and with just Dubravka to beat in the Toon goal, planted the baall into the net! 3-2—-oh hang on a minute?— the scoreboard said there woz a possible offside and after another lengthy VAR check the goal woz disallowed, much to the annoyance of the home fans, (that’s those of them who were still there!) who sang:,”We lose every week, we lose all the calls!”(VAR calls, that iz!)
More chances were missed by NUFC but we ran oot 3-1 winners, despite wor iffy performance!
The win lifted us up to 5th place,, level with Man City points wise and just 2 points behind Forest in thord place!
Aalso this woz wor 10th win in the last 11 and wor 5th away win ‘on the spin’! (not bad for a currently under performin team!)
In complete contrast’The Simon Templar Mob’ look certain to gan back doon, with just 6 points and 1 solitary win aall season!
Attendance: 31,141 (not many left by the final whistle! (3,000 relieved Toon fans, after the orly scare!)
The mini pub crawl ๐ just 4 this time!
