Posted '5:20pm bells' Wednesday 10th October 2012
The brilliant news haz nuw been conformed!----'Wonga' wor new sponsors will NOT rename the stadium 'The Bonga Wonga'!
It will stay 'ST JAMES' PARK' and az far az we are concerned it will aalways be by that name WHOEVER wor sponsors are in the future!
'Wonga' have come in for fierce criticism for bein' loan sharks!---but hang on a minute!---nebody iz holdin' a loaded revolver to anybodys heed to make them sign on the dotted line to tek oot a loan that they cannit afford to pay back!---are they???
'Wonga' are to invest in wor academy and have suggested that fans have a say in any new kit design, which makes sense az some of the strips we have had lately are horrendous, includin' wor new European 'high viz jacket coloured strip'!
'The Geordie Times' iz on the side of anybody who sees things from wor point of view!

THE TOON 0 THE COCKNEY REDS of SALFORD 3
Posted '10:20am bells' Monday 8th October 2012
In front of wor 2nd biggest crowd of the season, we had virtually lost the game in the forst qwaata of an hour @ The Leazes End, with two set piece corner goals from Jonny Evans and Patrice Evra who were both completly unmarked, to put us on the backfoot for the rest of the match!
It could have been much, much, more az the visitors were 'on fire' and we simply couldn't cope with their relentless bombardment of wor goal!
Things had settled doon a bit in the last 15 minutes of the half but we couldn't find a way through their defence and we went in two doon at the break.
The key moment in the match came just five mins after the restart when Demba Ba hit 'the bar' and the baall came oot to Papiss Cisse who heeded goalwards and hiz effort seemed to cross the goal line az De Gea in the Cockney Reds goal clawed the baall oot!---It looked like a goal to us high up in level 7 of The Milburn Stand, but both the ref and linesman who were much closer, didn't think so and play waz waved on!
It waz 'game ower' in the 70th minute when a Tom Cleverley cross went straight into the top corner of the net az Steve Harper tried in vain to save it!
We shud have had a penalty when Cisse's shirt waz pulled in the box, but this waz just one of several controversial decisions that the ref Howard Webb got wrang and in total EIGHT players were booked, fower from each side!
Toon team: Harper, Santon, Williamson, Perch, Ferguson (Anita 63), Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Tiote (Bigiramana 80), Gutierrez, Ba, Cisse (Shola Ameobi 63)
Attendance: 52,203 (biggest crowd in Britain ower the weekend!) (3,000 noisy Cockney Reds who divvint seem to like Alan Shearer for some reason!????)
