"THE RECURIN' TALE OF THE DONKEY, THE CARROT AND THE STICK!" ***"OH NO! ***NOT AGAIN!"

Posted '10:30pm bells' Friday 31st May 2013

"MMM!"---"THAT CARROT
DOESN'T LOOK VERY BIG!"

Well!---the 'madness' haz started aalready, hasn't it?-----Papiss Demba Cisse's agent haz apparentleee been 'toutin' wor centre forward aroond Europe, claimin' that wor Europa League opponents from last season, 'The Anzi Makhackems' from the Ukraine are after him and a £15 million poond price tag iz mentioned!

He aalso states that:  "Russian clubs have also shown interest in Papiss, but I don't want to name, names, as this would not be a correct step for me!" <(if yoo believe that then yoo'll believe anything!)

We at 'The Geordie Times' think however, that 'The Fat Controller' will want a much bigger 'carrot' than this to part with one of the few 'star assets' we have left for sale!

Wor manager 'I Beg Your Pardew' didn't help things the othaa week by declarin' to the world: "We can't do anything to stop our players being sold if 'the price is right'!"

And this from a club that haz 50,000 average gates and iz the 3rd best supported in Britain and in the 'top 10' in Europe and the world!

If we sell wot few 'assets' we have left, then next season <(like last!) will yet again fill us with absolute dread! and a repeat of the 2009 'nightmare' iz a distinct possibility!---Will 'The Fat Controller' never ever learn?------HELP!

OUT OF AFRICA!***AGAIN!???

Posted '9:10am bells' Friday 31st May 2013


WE MIGHT BE SEEIN' SOME OF THESE NEXT MONTH!
(OR NOT!---AZ THE CASE MAY BE!?)

Ubeleeevibleee!---wor proposed tournament in Cape Toon, Sooth Africa next month iz in doubt for the 2nd year in a row, az one of the teams due to take part, namely, 'The Toffee Noses' of Everton have pulled the plug and are gannin' on a tour of the USA instead!

The Wacko Jacko Jivers' of Fulham who were aalso due to play in a seperate tournament in Bloefontein<(hope av spelt that reet?), have pulled oot because of the state of the pitches and trainin' facilities!

The anly othaa English club who will definateleee be playin' there are 'The Blue Moonies' of Manchester, but their opponents are both Sooth African sides!

'The Geordie Times' will (of course!) bring yoo any news az soon az we find oot and yoo will get the latest 'info', 'forst hand, second', or 'second hand forst'!<(if yi see warra meeen?)

ON THIS DAY! ***44 YEARS AGO***INTER CITIES FAIRS CUP FINAL***1st LEG

Posted '3:00pm bells' Wednesday 29th May 2013



BOBBY MONCUR (OOT OF PICTURE) SCORES
WOR 2nd GOAL IN THE FAIRS CUP FINAL 1st LEG!
NOTE THE NUMBER OF FANS ON THE ROOF TOPS 
AND CHIMNEY POTS OF LEAZES TERRACE!

59,234 fans squeezed into St James' Park (with many many more on the roof tops of Leazes Terrace!) to witness wor 3-0 forst leg final victory against Ujpest Dozsa of Hungary in the old Inter Cities Fairs Cup!

Bobby Moncur proved to be the hero of the day with two goals, the forst from a Wyn Davies rebound which fell nicely for him to prod into the net with hiz left peg @ The Gallowgate End.  

His 2nd came just a few minutes later with anothaa 'left footer' to put us two-nowt up! (Amazingly, Moncur waz right footed and had NEVER scored in a competitive game before!---his 143rd for the club!)

Jimmy Scott completed the victory when he fired in from a Benny Arentoft pass! (aall the goals were scored in the 2nd half @ The Gallowgate End!) (little ol' schoolboy 'Fink' waz in The Leazes End on that memorable neet in '69'!)  

  

WOT THE FANS THINK!

The back page of todays 'Ronny Gill' sez it aall on wot the fans think aboot wor current manager!
(see wor related article below!)

"IT'S A SERIOUS STATE OF AFFAIRS!"

Posted '4:00pm bells' Tuesday 28th May 2013


"YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS, PARDEW!"

It iz NOT 'The Geordie Times' intention to slag the club off, but some ridiculous things have been said by wor manager 'I Beg Your Pardew' once again ower the weekend.
He claims that HAD we steered clear of injuries last season, that, in hiz opinion, WE would have been the best team ootside the top six!

'The Liverbirds', may I remind yoo Alan, put SIX goals past us at home and aalso rattled the woodwork a couple of times az well, just ONE MONTH ago!

'The Liverbirds' yoo see, finished in SEVENTH position and gannin on Pardews logic, WE were a better team than THEM in the last campaign ???

Of course finishin' just above the relegation zone in SIXTEENTH place iz better than finishin' SEVENTH and just missin' oot on Europe, isnt it????

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH!"
