THE WHITLEY BAYWATCHERS 0 THE TOON U21s 1 *** NORTHUMBERLAND SENIOR CUP SEMI FINAL

Posted '12:30pm bells' Tuesday 18th March 2014

NUFC resorves/U21s  progressed to the final of The Northumberland Senior Cup by beatin' 'The Whitley Baywatchers' 1-0 @ Hillheads last neet in front of a 877 crowd! (includin' a 'nutter' caalled  Pardew!)
Wor rovin' reporter 'Liam from the Lamp' sent us this comprehensive match report by the wonders of modern technology, text messages from hiz mobile phone!

"Rolando Aarons cut inside and fired an unstoppable shot into the goal in the 84th minute!---1-0 finish but very poor game!  The goal waz without a doubt the anly bit of quality seen!"

"Any of the players tryin' to push for forst team positions showed nothin' that would get them anywhere near, but the truth iz the resorves have been poor aall season and it shows the huge lack in cover and in part quality, the club haz reet now!"

'Liam from the Big Lamp'

For the benefit of wor owerseas reeders in particular: 'The Big Lamp' iz the name of a district, not too far from St James' Park!
(There used to be a 'big lamp' there at one time!)

"IT'S ENOUGH TO DRIVE YOO TO DRINK!"

"SPOT THE DRASTIC PLASTIC!"

The trip doon to King's Cross on the '6:30 bells' train from 'The Central' waz uneventful and we made straight for Hammersmith on the tube to sample the delights of a large brekky and a 'gargel' in The William Morris boozer!---WRANG!---When we got there @ '10:15 bells' we were telt that although we could porchase a brekky, ne alcohol could be sorved til '11 bells' on the orders of the local 'dibble' az there waz a futbaall match on! (the nearest waz actually QPR v Yeovil in nearby Shepherd's Bush!)

After 'demolishin' the 'said scran' we heeded back to the bar @ '11 bells' where 'Big Al' waz telt that he would have to drink hiz bottle of imported 'Edinger' ale oot of a plastic glass! <(on the orders of 'dibble' again yoo understand)
The bottle which he took to wor table waz 'glass' which of course totally contradicted their 'no glass' policy!'
To compound things, I then went to porchase a pint of 'Smiths' where (believe it or not!) aa waz given a PROPAA 'GLASS' glass by the barman!??? and az he gave it to me, aa quickly grabbed it, (spillin' some of the contents in mee haste!) before he had a chance to realise hiz 'missteak' and just wot he had done! <(and replace it with a plastic one!)
'Sarnie Steve' and 'Mal the Inglish Skool Teechaa' then came back with pints of Guinness in PLASTIC! <(yi couldn't make it up---could yi!???)

We then moved on a bit nearer to the groond, two minutes away ower the road, where we went into 'The Duke of Cornwell' on Fulham Palace Road fully expectin' to be sorved oot of 'the drastic plastic pots'---and GUESS WOT!???---YES that's reet!---we were aall given PROPAA GLASSES with wor beer! (yi couldn't ma---!)


"GET YOUR EXPENSIVE DISH-WAATAA HERE!"


Movin' on to 'The Crabtree' aftaa this, it waz back to DRASTIC PLASTIC again, where mee pint of luke waam beer (which tasted like coloured soapy dish waataa!) cost me the grand sum of fower poond, eighty pence! <(it waz 'easy rider' (cider) aftaa this at just £4:50!)

It waz then time to gan to the match which waz played in cloudless blue skies az the 'current bun' shon brightleee above!

"A CR*P VIEW AGAIN---FROM ROW 'H' !"
(VIRTUALLY THE SAME VIEW AZ LAST SEASON!?)

With top goalscorer Remy and key player Debuchy oot through injury we wondered just where wor goals were gannin to come from---and we were proved reet az John Carver took the place of Alan Pardew in the dugoot!
Anothaa 'Mr Hyde' performance waz in the offin' az we hoofed the baall upfield time and time again in wor aall blue change kit!--Fulham were even worse and we were glad when the ref blew for half time!

"THE WEBB OF DECEIT!"

The 2nd half wasn't much better az we humped the baall aimlessly up field once again, just like a Sunday leegue team would de!
And then came the tornin' point of the game!---Cisse, who waz put clean through, hit hiz shot straight at the Fulham keeper!---a foul from behind a minute later on De Jong went unpunished az ref Howard Webb waved 'play on' ---the baall foond Fulham's Dejagah on the edge of the box and he fired a shot that Tim Krul fumbled and it ended up in the back of wor net!---1-0 to the bottom team, who hadn't won in their previous NINE games!

"NICE VIEW OF THE CORNER FLAG, THOUGH!"

De Jong then had a heeder easily saved and then 'super sub'? Shola came on to save the day---but didn't!---and wor last 'throw of the dice' came when Adam Armstrong came on with just FOWER mins to gan (too little tooo late) although he DID manage a shot near the end! Then!---in the final second of the game wor goalie Tim Krul came up for a corner and the baall foond hiz right peg. He hit it straight at a home defender who raised hiz arm to stop it!---a blatent hand baall in anybody's book---but NOT Howard Webb's---who again torned a blind eye and blew for full time imedietly after this with strong protest from 'Timmy' waved away!

We trooped off back towards Hammersmith where more 'liquid lubrication' waz taken on board in 'The Suffolk Punch' before we made wor way to 'Edgware' for the final three 'gargel' locations! (see below!)

It waz then back to KX to catch the '9 bells' back yem! (a DRY train of course to compound wor misery!)

More pix and team line ups toneet---a'm of on the'hoy' now!---see yooo later!

Six hours later:---And here we are later toneet!---

Forst of aall---apologeez for not updatin' this site az regularly az aa used to, but a new full time job haz prevented me from dein' so, az a now normally work constant neetshift! (but NOT toneet!)

THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE---

Assistant manager John Carver gets the main dugout seat tomorrow az wor much maligned manager iz banned from the groond because of hiz infamous heedbutt? a fortneet ago!

Both Loic Remy and Mathieu Debuchy are OOT through injuries sustained on international duty and we hear through the grapevine that Hatem Ben Arfa will aalso be missin' for personal reasons?

'Fab' Coloccini WILL retorn to the fray however az we attempt to beat 'the boys from the cottage' for the forst time doon there in 6 seasons and we will be backed by 2,900 plus many more in Fulham's so caalled 'mixed section'!



"NO!---NOT THAT 'FELIX'! ^

"AYE---THAT ONE WEARIN' A FULHAM TIE!" ^



"AN IMPOSTER WEARIN' A FULHAM TIE!"--"SPOT THE DIFFERENCE?" ^

Both former Toon players Scott Parker and Damian Duff are expected to MISS the game az the  *'Wacko Jacko-less Jivers' attempt to climb off the bottom of the table! (*The Michael Jackson statue haz since been removed from Craven Cottage by former owner Al Fayed!---hence their new 'Geordie Times' name!)

Az iz usual theeze days aall the trains back to The Toon are DRY, but NOT on the way there??? <(we can NEVER work this one oot???)

There will of course be a full 'Geordie Times' match and 'gargle' report sometime on Sunday az usual!

7 MATCH BAN FOR PARDEW! *** BUT THE (SWEET) F.A. ARE NOT HAPPY AND WANT A MORE SEVERE PUNISHMENT!

Posted '1:33pm bells' Wednesday 12th March 2014

"THERE'LL BE NO BURNINGS IN LONDON, AS LONG AS I AM MAYOR!"

Alan Pardew haz been foond guilty az charged by an independent 'jury' for hiz heinous heedbutt on 'that' ex mackem and haz been banned from the touchline for seven games,  the forst three of them a stadium ban aaltogether!

The F.A. however ARNT happy aboot this and want hiz punishment increased forthwith!
Suggestions that he shud be burnt alive at the stake on Wembley Way for hiz mistermeeeners <(we naa how to spell aall the 'big words'!) have been mooted, BUT Lord Mayor of London, Boris Johnson haz pointed oot that aalthough he haz ne objection whatsoever aboot Pardew bein' tied to a stake and burnt alive, he points oot that Wembley iz in fact in a 'smoke free zone', az iz the rest of London and haz vetoed the F.A's plans because of this!

We await with trepidation to see if the F.A. will get their 'just desserts' and get hiz punishment increased---elsewhere!

Pardew commented on hiz 'sentence': "I am grateful that I have only got a seven match ban!--- I hope they don't increase it and burn me at the stake as I've just bought a new suit!"

"AZ EVER!---WATCH THIS SPACE!!!"
