“FIVE STAR ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PERFORMANCE!”
Last neet the forst half display woz probably the very best this season az we trounced The Palliss 4-0 by the half time break! The absence of wor ‘leader’ ‘Steady Eddie Howe’ haz galvanised the team to perform to the highest level—a level we reached in a breathtaking forst half! (Both Jason Tindall and Graham Jones were in the home dugoot again!)
From the word 'go' we were up for it az we attacked the Gallowgate goal in the forst period!---
The main events were az follows:
Palliss won the toss and made us kick towards the Gallowgate End in the forst half!—A decision that backfired badly for them! (For those of yoo who divvint naa---If NUFCs win the toss we aalways kick towards the Gallowgate in the SECOND half!)
We failed to capatolize within 30 seconds of the kick off when we should have taken the lead!
Jacob Murphy punts a wicked baall forward, but it’s just aheed of Isak and Bruno and the baall runs ower the goal line to safety!
14th minute: Jacob Murphy runs doon the wing and from a very tight angle hits a piledriver shot into the roof of the net with their goalie well beaten, (reminisent of Tonali's shot v Brentfaad at the Leazes End!) A brilliant goal that had the fans roarin in appreciation! (Jacob's 9th goal of the season!)
36th minute: 'The Pope' gans up to punch the baall and collides with Richards and after a very lang VAR check (at least 7 minutes!) the ref eventually makes hiz mind up, after seein the replay aboot 25 times and points to the spot!
Ebe Eze took the penalty and did one of those slow run ups and delayed kick to hit the baall weakly to Pope's right and wor keeper easily saved the shot, to roars louder than for Murphy's goal!
Just seconds later on instead of 1-1 it woz 2-0 to 'us', az Harvey Barnes ran doon the wing and crossed the baall---anly for Palliss's Guehi to deflect the baall into hiz own net!
Tonali then played Barnes through and he raced doon the pitch to plant a great shot past the advancin Henderson in the Palliss goal, to make it 3-0 in stoppage time! (Harvey's 4th goal in 3 games!)
Not lang after it woz 4-0 when 'Fab' Schar heeded into the net from a Murphy cross in the EIGHTH minute of forst half stoppage time! (The extra time added coz it took SO lang to give the penalty!)
There woz nee way back for the 'Croydon Boys' az their 900 fans high up in the Leazes End, watched on in horror! HT 4-0 to 'us'!
The scorin woz completed in the minute of the second half when, just before the hour mark, Joelinton won the baall off Laxence and it ended up at 'Alexander The Great's' feet (Isak) and he hit a precision shot into the corner of the Leazes net from 25 yards oot and past the Palliss goalie to make it 5-0! ('The Great's' 25th goal of the season!)
There were many chances to increase wor lead, but in the end wor goal difference woz boosted by 5 to add to the 4 v Moan U at the weekend, and sent us up the 3rd in The Premyaa Leegue table, above Forest and just 4 behind 2nd placed Arsenil! (Wor goal difference iz now +21!)
Wor SIXTH win on the spin, includin' the Wembley triumph---can we make it 'Seven Heaven' at Villa on Saturday?
Much more to follow---keep readin updates thoughoot the day!
Attendance: 52,197 (just 900 'anti Saudi' away followers, who, in fairness, stopped til the bitter end!) (the claimed 5,000 'human rights' protesters, who would turn up, proved to be a total fantasy!)
