THE TOON 1 THE BISCUITMEN 2 ***"IT'S SNOW JOKE!"***""THIS REEELY TAKES THE BISCUIT!"

Updated '11:40am bells' Sunday 20th January 2013

"CABAYE'S FREE KICK HEEDS GOAL-BOUND!"

An absolutleee disasterous result for us and the dreaded 'R' word waz deein' the roonds in the clubs and pubs after the game az angry and disaloooshand<(Geordie Times spellin'!) fans droonded their sorrows!

THREE great chances which fell to Cisse in the forst half shud have sealed the game for us on a wintry afternoon @ 'The Park', but a combination of brilliant saves from 'The Biscuitmens' keeper and bad luck prevented hiz hat-trick!
Yohan Cabaye's free kick on the edge of the box @ The Gallowgate End (see 'Geordie Times' photo above) after Marveaux had been fouled, left their keeper rooted to the spot az it whizzed into the top corner of the goal and it looked at this point that we would gan on to win the game easily!

BUT! this iz NUFC and the substitution of Marveaux for James Perch telt us that we intended to haad on to wor one goal lead rather than gan for more goals---And this proved to be wor doonfaall when in the 70th minute the visitors made an inspired substitution when centre forward Le Fondre came on.
Within TWO minute he had equalised with a scrambled goal @ The Gallowgate End to the horror of 'yorz trulee' and 48,000 otha Toon fans!

An apparently injured Cabaye then went off to be replaced by Bigiramana in the 73rd minute and loud protests then enveloped the groond az wor manager stood forlornly on the touchline!----

But worse waz to follow fower minutes later when Le Fondre again beat wor defence after a sliced effort from anotha Readin' player fell nicely to him and he tucked the baall past an unsighted Tim Krul in the Toon goal, to send their 1,000 travellin' fans in level 7 of The Leazes End wild! 

This aalso sent the Toon fans 'wild' az wor manager got the brunt of abuse with chants <(for the forst time) of: "YI DON'T KNOW WOT YI DOIN'!" <(looks like yi 'honeymoon period' iz ower now, Alan!)

Anotha great chance by Cisse to level things near 'the death' ended up high in The Leazes stand and just after this the ref blew for full time to loud protest against wor manager AND owner!

The 'bleak mid-winter' continues!

Toon team: Krul, Santon, Debuchy, Williamson, *Coloccini?, Cabaye (Bigiramana 73), Anita (Obertan 79), Gutierrez, Marveaux (Perch 64), Shola Ameobi, Cisse
*We were suprized to see Colo in the line up az we were telt last week that the Norwich away game would be hiz last!

Attendance: 49,411 (highest in Britain on the day!) (1,000 'Biscuits' 'risked it' in the snow!)

PS: Unlucky 'mascots' 'John from Ireland' and hiz son Ciaran were at the match. They very rarely see 'The Toon' win on their visits to Tyneside from across the Irish Sea, which number aboot five or six a season!
(Their last 'win' waz against Liverpool on 'April Fools Day' last season!)
Their next intended visit IZ!----wait for it!----for wor derby game against the SMBs! this April!---"AARRGGHH!"<(it's time to pull yer 'hair oot' folks!)

PPS: On the otha hand, and because that's the last time they'd seen us win, the month of 'April' just might just prove to be a LUCKY omen!?)<(lets  hope so for their sake!!!)

"THE MATCH IZ ON!"
In five hours time we are due to play yet anotha 'must f*****' win' game against 'The Biscuitmen of Readin' @ St James' Park @ '3 bells'!

"COMIN' SOON TO ST JAMES'!"

The match iz set to get the 'go ahead' and a pitch inspection iz gannin on az I write this!
Hailstones are faallin' @ the minute az aa look oot mee window across the Tyne, but aall shud be well and we will bring yoo the news of the pitch inspection az soon az wee get it!------Just hord!---IT'S ON!

Wor visitors (just like us!) are 'winless' on the road this season and have lost NINE of their eleven away games so far! (lets make sure it's TEN on Saturday!)

With ne new signin's apart from full back Debuchy, the failure to persuade Remy to sign for us for a mere £40,000 a week! and the departure of Demba Ba <(thanx to 'appy 'arry!---see below!) we are a club in crisis---ne doubt aboot that!

Steve Taylor iz expected to make a welcome come back afta missin' the last nine games and Shola iz available after servin' a one mach suspension.

Colocicini's imminent departure hazzent happened yet of course, but we were telt last week by wor 'secret undercover club sauce' that hiz appearence in the game at Norwich would be hiz last!?

In mid-week Sooothampton got an unexpected point at Chelski and move a little bit fortha away from us up the table!---and then they sack their manager! (this disruption cud be good news for us and will hopefully unsettle their players and fans!)

"I BEG YOUR PARDEW!?---ARE WE HOYIN' THE TOWEL IN AALREADY???""

Updated '3:15pm bells' Friday 18th January 2013


'I BEG YOUR PARDEW'S' WASHIN' LINE-PERHAPS???

Wor beleagered manager's latest ramblin's make frightnin' readin' for aall Toon fans.
He tells us that: "QPR have a STRONGER squad than us for the relegation run-in!"

He aalso gans on to say: "We shouldn't be lost to the fact that we could be RELEGATED!"

Aall this taalk aboot 'hoyin' the towel in', in JANUARY and tryin' to prepare the fans for the worst case scenario, iz NOT wot we want to hear!!!

We aalso hear that we have 'downgraded' wor sorch for a quality striker to replace Demba Ba ---in the shape of David Ngog (above) from sixteenth placed CHAMPIONSHIP side Bolton Wanderers for £2 million!<("WOW!")
(Ngog haz scored a grand total of FOWER goals in 17 appearences for Bolton this season!)

A MESSAGE TO WOR MANAGER (AND OWNER!) FROM 'THE GEORDIE TIMES'!

"I beg your Pardew"--"Alan"--"but a 'second rate 'Championship' striker' iz NOT wot we need at the moment to get us oot of this mess!---and az you've aalready said, that's where we will surely end up IF we do gan for players of hiz 'calibre'!"

"EIGHTY GRAND!**YOR 'AVIN A LAFFF!" *******IT'S OFFICIAL!

STOP PRESS!***STOP PRESS!***Just this minute hord on 'Talk Sport' that Remy haz signed for 'Steptoe Rangers' 

Last week 'appy 'arry' Rednoseknapp said: and I quote:
"You shouldn't be paying massive wages when you've got a stadium that holds 18,000 people!"

So 'arry's 'rag and bone men' from Shepherds Bush (who just happen to play in an 18,000 seater 'Lego' stadium!) have hijacked the deal to bring Loic Remy to 'The Toon' and are to pay him!----wait for it!--
80 thoosand quid a week!---double wot we were gannih give him!---it's total F*****' madness if yoo ask us! (We didn't realise that £80,000 waz a 'pittance'!?)


Question: Do WE @ 'The Geordie Times' blame Remy (and hiz agent!) for dein' a runner and signin' for them?
Answer: "Would YEE knock eighty F*****' grand a week back????"

"Wot did yoo say again last week, 'Arry?">>>  


PS: Wot REELY riles uz iz that Rednoseknapp (the man who got away with havin' hiz dogs name on hiz bank accoont!) telt anybody who cared to listen, that Demba Ba had a release clause in hiz contract, which ultimately led to hiz departure to Chelski!--- and then when WE try to sign a replacement, HE 'hijacks it' at the last F*****' minute!

We on Tyneside can anly hope that hiz bulbous bugle keeps growin' 'apace', alang with hiz 'porkies'!

'GEORDIE TIMES'
COMMENT!

^ A MESSAGE FROM ^
'THE MAD-SAD GROUNDHOPPER'!

At midneet toneet we will have reached the halfway point in the January transfor window and we still anly have ONE signin' in! (Debuchy) with ONE departure (Ba), plus the 'Remy farce', which iz still unresolved az we speak, so we still have a chance of signin' him, although that seems remote now!

We really DO need more signin's especially 'up front', or else we will face the consequences and stay in 'the dog fight' til the death!

We said it at the start of the month and we'll say it agen---'The Fat Controller' needs to lorn hiz lesson and get hiz f*****' finger oot (or shud that be FAT WALLET!) to save wor season!---NOW!

"THE FRENCH CONNECTION!"

News reaches 'The Geordie Times' many hours after the event (by homin' pigeon!), that we are (allegedly!) signin' French international striker Loic Remy from Marseille for a reported fee of £8 million and that he iz due on Tyneside in the not too distant future for a medical and contract taalks!

DELIA'Z CANARY CUSTARDS 0 THE TOON 0

Updated 9:30pm bells' Sunday 13th January 2013

"YES!---WE HAVE NO BANANAS!"
"WE HAVE NO BANANAS TODAY!"



"COMIN' SOON TO 'THE TOON'???"

For the thord weekend in a row we let the train take the strain az we heeded soothbound on the East Coast Mainline, this time to Peterborough and then onward to Norfolk.
Forst port o caall when we arrived @ 'dinnertime bells' waz 'The Murderers Arms' where we (not suprizinglee!) 'murdered' a few pints before heedin' for the away end which waz a qwaata of an hours waalk away. 

It haz to be said straight away that this waz yet another dire performance from the black n whites but at least we didn' concede a goal and a point iz better that nowt!

The home side wornt any better and a nil-nil draw was a fair result.

Game highlights?


VIEW FROM ROW 'II' (1st HALF)

Forst half: A Obertan shot iz saved by the Custards keeper Bunn at the far end from us---wor anly shot on target in the forst half apart from a 'powder puff' effort from Demba Cisse who played up front on hiz own!


Second half: Yohan Cabaye makes a welcome retorn in the 56th minute, replacin' Obertan who went off in a huff doon the players tunnel!

2nd HALF

66th minute: The Custards hit the post through Martin, but thankfully it went oot for a goal kick!

Colloccini (playin' hiz LAST GAME) and Marveaux have 'off target shots' and that's az good az it got for us!

New boy Debuchy haz a quiet game and gets himsel booked near the end!

84th minute: The stadium tannoy annooncer gets it aall wrang and puts a rare smile on wor faces, when he tells us that Anita haz been replaced by!---BigiBANANA! (Bigiramana!) 

The home side nearly pinch it in injury time when Pilkington missed an easy heeder!

Results elsewhere meen that we are STILL just two points above the 'abyss' az wor winless away run continues! (Now SEVENTEEN and coontin' in the leegue, the cups and Europe!)

Toon team: Krul, Debuchy, Williamson, Coloccini, Santon, Perch, Anita (Bigibanana! 84), Obertan (Cabaye 57), Marveaux, Gutierrez, Cisse

Attendance: 26,752 (aroond aboot 2,000 Toon faithful!)
