| "grrrrr!--time for din-dins!" |
Of aall the places tih have tih gan tee on New Years day, it had tih be here!?.
A roond trip approachin' 700 miles! AND a bloody '12 bells' kick off iz well!. Ah was drivin' doon so it meant that ah could'nt ' even celebrate' the new year az normal by gettin' 'rat arsed'!.
Ah tried tih get a few hours kip, but it was nee good coz of aall the parties and drunken 'rat arsed' street singers!. (some people have got nee standards!)
Ah tried puttin' the pillow ower mee heed but it was nee good az 'auld lang syne' was ringin' oot from mee neighbours telly.
Az ah dragged mee sleepless sober body oot of bed at 'two thorty a.m. bells', the parties were just aboot dyin' doon but that was nee consolation tih mee az ah was totally 'cream crackered'!.
Ah drove tih Swaallwell tih pick Davy Dowaz up but mee worst fears were conformed when ah arrived and foond that there were nee lights on in his terraced hoose. (he'd obviously been on 'the hoy'!)
Ah brayed on his front door and hoyed 'clemmies' at his bedroom window, but it was nee good az he was 'vino collapso' and ah could'nt wake the drunken pig up!.
"HANG ON A MINUTE!---HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A F*****' DOG!"
Az a last resort, ah went roond tih the back of his hoose and tried tih 'bunk ower' his back yard waall in case he'd faalin' asleep in his livin' room!. (which was at the rear of the hoose)
Encorougingly ◄(sorry aboot the 'spellin' misteak!) there was a light on, so ah made a super human effort and dragged mee sixteen stone frame ower the waall, 'S.A.S style'!, and hammered on his back window!.
In response a very loud barkin' and growlin' noise came from the back kitchen, which was very strange indeed az Davy did'nt have a 'Deputy Dawg'?.
Then it suddenly dawned on iz!-----IT WAS THE WRANG F*****' HOOSE!---AND!---tih mek matters worse, 'mans best friend?' suddenly appeared at the back door which had a frosted glass window, bangin' it's paws to break the glass as it stood on it's hind legs! It was huge and was at least as taall as me! (that's!---SIX FOOT---like!)
Usin' my vast knowledge of canine breeds (absoloootleee non whatsoever!) aa could just make oot through the frosted glass that it was probably? a cross between an Alsatian and an Irish wolf hound and it was snarlin' loudly and barin' it's razor sharp 'Ted Heath' az it 'clocked iz', panic stricken in the back yard!.
It looked very likely tih come through the glass door at any moment!---AND!---tih mek matters EVEN WORSE!, it looked very hungry and didn't look ower happy that a'd woken it from it's 'slumbers'!.
It was time for 'A Sharp Exit' before aa was torn 'limb from limb' and eaten alive!, and aa SWEAR BLIND!, that yiv never (ever!) seen anybody scale a ten foot high waall quicker than ah did that New Years mornin'!.
(The S.A.S included!)
Time was gettin' on and ah could'nt wait there any langer for him to wake up az ah had tih mek 'tracks' tih Fellin' tih pick 'Piper' and Terry 'Biggles' Botcherby up. (So caalled coz he once flew to an away game in London!)
They were at the arranged meetin' point much the worse for wear after the previous neets indulginses!, but still able tih stand up nontheless! ("Er!"-A'm not sayin' they were still 'cattle trucked' but 'Piper' looked like 'death waamed up'!, and 'Biggles' eyes looked like 'pissholes in the snow'!)
Anyway!---it was aboot '3:30 am bells' by the time wih set off for the seaside and not surprizingly the roads were totally deserted and ah remember thinkin', "A wish they were like this aall the time"!
By the time wih arrived in Soothend sometime later (aboot 10:30 bells) ah was completely 'cream crackered' and of course there was nowt open and wih ended up waalkin' aroond the groond like lost sheep with neewhere tih gan!.
However!--- Soothend Supporters Club which was reet next tih the groond did eventually open after several Geordies made their presence felt by nearly kickin' the front door off it's hinges!. It had the 'desired effect' and they let us in for the forst drinks of the year. (Unfortunatally, mine was an 'Andy Pandy' az ah had tih drive back iz well!)
After another 'Andy' it was time tih gan tih the match and wih heeded for the visitors end just roond the corner.
We were in 'dire straits' (the team---NOT us!) az we were near the foot of the aad Second Division and a good result was needed tih lift the fear of relegation.
The groond was a typical lower league venue with an open terrace lined with blue crash barriers for the away followers and a smaall roofed terrace at the far end for the home fans. To wor left was the rickety main stand which stopped at each penalty box and to wor reet there was a stand with a rusted double barrelled tin roof which ran the full length of the pitch.
Anly 500 or so diehards had made the lang jorney sooth and we were 'rewarded' for our loyalty by gannin' a goal behind after ONE MINUTE!. (Great f*****' start!)
By the time Soothend had scored their FOURTH goal, sometime durin' the second half, their fans were havin' a field day!.---"WHAT A WASTED JOURNEY!"---they sang with delight az they pointed towards us!. (TOO BLOODY TRUE MATE!)
But the chant that REALLY hit home to me was far more poignant.---"YOU'RE NOT FAMOUS ANYMORE!"-- "YOU'RE NOT FAMOUS ANY-MORE!"
Sadly---ah had to agree with them!---CHRIST!---had it really come to this!?---the once famous N.U.F.C., ridiculed by fans of a 'tuppence haapny' team whose gates were often less than Hartlepool's and whose groond resembled a 'glorified bus-stop'!.
We were hurtlin' towards the Thord Division and on THIS! performance, relegation looked a CERTAINTY!.
(Ah divvint want tih dwell on wor 'p-e-r-f-o-r-m-a-n-c-e-!' that day, or indeed, who was actually playin' for the Toon!---it's just a 'blur'---thank god!---d-e-f-e-n-a-t-e-l-y-! one tih forget!)
'John the Chap' had hitched it doon on New Years Eve and az wih had a spare seat in the 'jam jar' coz Davy Dowaz had 'slept in', ah offered him a lift yem, if he wanted one. (He did'nt need much persuasion!)
On the retorn jorney tih keep awake ah put the radio on tih listen tih the results. The announcer telt wih that Barnet had won and were definate promotion contenders from the Fourth Division.
Ah thought---F*****' HELL!---ah saw Gatesheed play Barnet in the Conference the previous season at the International Stadium and Newcastle could! be playin' them NEXT! season!.
That's when wor 'plight' really hit home to me!. (you could say we'd gone to the dogs!) (sic!)
By the time wih got yem several hours later aa was nearly faallin' asleep at the wheel and it was certainleee a day that 'Biggles' Botcherby, 'Piper', John the Chap' and meesel will never (ever!) forget!!!
HAPPY BLOODY NEW YEAR!!!???
Footnote:
(Az it torned oot, Barnet missed oot on promotion that season and of course, 'Keegan the Messiah' saved us from even worse trips tih the likes of Torquay, Gillingham and Colchester!)
(Thank F*****' God!)

"AN INSULT TO WOR INTELLIGENCE!"
After battlin' through the floods of York on the '7:25 bells' train to New Street, Bormingham, *("Whey!", hardly 'battlin' through the floods---more like watchin' York drown az we passed by on the train with wor feet up, drinkin' cans of 'easy rider', wonderin' just how those affected were copin'!)
We expected at the very least a 'battlin' display from The Toon az well, after aall the 'hype' surroundin' the 'injustice' of wor defeat at home to Everton just 2 days before on Boxin' Day (see that match report forthaa doon the page!)
*(PS: Honestly, wor hearts gan oot to aall the people who have been affected by the terrible floods--it must be heartbreakin' to be flooded time and time again!)
Wot we got from NUFC waz the usual garbage that we have been so used to this year, az we gave in meekly to a poor WBA side who bombarded wor goal in the forst half with wave after wave of shots and corners to keep wor rooky goalie Karl Darlow very busy (Rob Elliot had felt unwell before the game and Darlow waz hoyed into the fray!)
Honestly!---it would have been more excitin' watchin' paint dry on 'wor part' az we hardly ventured up the field and we were (very!)glad to see the half time break!
Both Dummett and Coloccini hit the woodwork in the 2nd half and Mitrovic seemed to be pulled back az he waz aboot to take a shot in front of the Toon faithful behind the goal, but penalty claims were waved away by the ref ---but they waz the anly 'highlights' of this half for 'us' az we continually gave the baall away, shyed oot from tackles and played across the field and backwards!--instead of gannin forward! <(ie: A 'complete' shambles!)
The killer blow came just after the Mitrovic incident, when Darlow failed to hold a Darren Fletcher downward heeder and it squeezed underneath him and into the net for the anly goal of the game!
'The Wally withoot the Brolly' iz unbelievable!---claimin' that we in fact "played ever so well!"--- matched West Brom in every department and didn't deserve to lose---which game waz he watchin', like????
Does he think we are so stupid and gullible that we will believe anything that he says???----hiz ridiculous comments are an insult to wor intelligence and have NOT gone doon well with the Toon fans!
The match stats tell a very different story to McClaren's however!
The Baggie Troosers had a total of 22 shots of which 5 were on target and 18 corners, compared to 'wor' 7 shots, (nearly aall weak efforts!) of which anly TWO were on target (1 in each half!) and 6 corners!
We aalso committed twice az many fouls az them (14 to 7), many of them needless when we lost possession!
The Leegue table doesn't lie, Steve and we gan into the new year 3rd bottom with a pathetic 17 points from 19 games at the halfway point of the season---Indeed, with just SEVEN wins oot of a possible THORTY EIGHT games played this calendar year, it beats the previous worst in livin' memory, which waz NINE wins in 1961 (relegated 1960-1961) and NINE wins in 2008 (relegated 2008-2009!)
Next up iz 'The Arse' away on Saturday---a groond where we have conceded 14 goals in wor last 3 visits!-----Arsene Wenger must be rubbin' hiz hands!
Toon team: Darlow, Coloccini, Dummett, Janmaat, Mbemba, Sissoko, Colback (Thourvin 86) <(WHY?), Anita (Tiote 27), Wijnaldum, Mitrovic, Perez (De Jong 72) <(WHY?)

"CRISIS @ CHRISTMAS!"
With Swanzee winnin' in the orlier kick off, sendin' us back into the bottom 3, it waz vital that we got oot of the blocks and went for Everton 'from the off'!
But it waz wor visitors who made aall the orly play az they attacked the Leazes goal and it seemed just a matter of time before they scored az the rain lashed doon!
We had wor chances though when a Gini Wijnaldum heeder waz expertly saved by Tim Howard in 'The Toffee Noses' goal!
Rob Elliot had anothaa blinder and kept Everton at bay and we somehow went into the break on level torms
We were much better in the 2nd period az we tried to make the breakthrough, although wor forst shot on goal in this half didn't come til the 75th minute!
The key moment of the game for 'The Toon' came when Mitrovic from 5 yards oot fluffed hiz chance---when it waz easier to score!
And then the heartbreak at the end, when, 3 minutes into stoppage time Elliot punched the baall oot @ The Gallowgate End, anly for the baall to find the heed of Cleverley and he 'cleverly' nodded the baall back towards goal and it somehow foond the back of wor net, to send the 3,000 Toffee Noses in level 7 of The Leazes End wild with delight, while' 'I' held my heed in my hands in despair!
There waz ne time for a come back at this late stage and the 3 points were lost az we plunged back into the 'mire'!
18 games played---17 points gained!---37 points dropped! That's an average of 0.94444444444 points per game!---and if we keep this up, wor end of season total will be!-------(deep breath!)

THE TOON v THE TOFFEE NOSES *** TODAY @ '5:30 BELLS'
Posted '10:03am bells' Boxin' Day 2015
We gan into today's game with a shockin' stat---we have won just 7 leegue games oot of 36 in this 'calender year', so far!--and failure to win wor last 2 games of the year against 'The Toffee Noses' this evenin' and 'The BaggieTroosers' on Munday afternoon will mean that we will have won the least number of games in a 1 year period in livin' memory!
(9 games iz wor previous worst since the 2nd World War ended 70 years ago!)
Quite simply, we must win today or face the prospect of faallin back into 'the quagmire zone' once again!
Some of wor players divvint help the cause by boastin' that we won't be in a relegation battle come the end of the season (Coloccini) and that we will finish in the top TEN come May (Mbemba!)
The sad reality though---IZ!-- we WILL be in the relegation 'dog fight' for the rest of the season, az with just 4 wins oot of 17 so far this season, this tells yoo that for certain!----UNLESS! ---'The Fat Controller' 'puts hiz hands in hiz pockets' to buy some quality players in the January transfor window!
WILL he 'gamble' on 'The Brolly-less Wally' 'to keep us up' with the present mediocre squad--OR!--will he spend some of hiz vast fortune on makin' sure we divvint gan doon?---we shall soon find oot!
With just 17 points from 17 games it doesn't take a mathematical genius to work oot that this iz an average of just ONE point per game <(me finx?) and by the end of the season at this rate we will end up with 38 points from the 38 games played!---relegation form in any othaa season! (We ended up with 39 points last season and just avoided 'the drop' on the very last day!)
Wot will happen on this rain sodden Boxin' Day???---it's anybody's guess???---and az we've said so many times in the past---this IZ NUFC and anything can happen!
A full match report will appear here on Sunday!---lets hope it's a 'MERRY XMAS' after aall!
