NON ATTENDERS IN WAR OF WORDS!
Posted '2:50pm bells' Tuesday 7th August 2018
A war of words haz broken oot between wor absent owner and Newcasil MP Chi Onwonga <(I 'fink' thats hor name!) after Onwonga presented a motion in the House of Commons aboot how unfit wor owner woz to run wor club and declared a while back that she would not be attendin' future games at St James Park, because of the Wonga money lenders logos on the front of wor strips!
She embarrisingly caalled Rafa Benitez, Rafa 'BEN-NETT-EZ'! in hor House of Commons speech!----Which just gans to shows hor 'knowledge'? of futbaall on Tyneside!
Az far az we are aware, she haz NEVER seen a match at St James' Park anyway, so how she can boycott us if she's never been, iz a 'no brainer'!
Wor 'beloved'? absent owner, who hazzent been to a home game for 15 months replied that he haz ploughed millions into the club, but failed to mention hiz skinflint transfor policy, where players must be sold before we can buy!
"I'm the pantomime villain!" he added!
The letter which woz written on NUFC headed paper, woz sent to The Secretary of State in protest at Onwoga's criticism and woz signed with an unreadable scribble, which suggests that someone else actually wrote and signed it! (Allegedleee!)
"Welcome to the
NUFC pantomime!"

THE TOON 0 FC AUGSBURG 1 *** FRIENDLY
Posted just before 'high noon bells' Sunday 5th August 2018
"BLANKETY BLANK!"
For the thord pre season friendly in a row against forrin opposition, we failed to score, on a boilin' hot day on Tyneside!
This iz a very worryin situation considerin that the transfor window closes next Thorsday!
It woz 'Kids Day' at SJP az more than half the crowd of 21,000 plus were below the age of 10, az parents/grand parents took advantage of the fiver admission for youngins to take them to the match!
This included 4 of my own grandkids, 2 of which were makin their 'debut' visit to 'The Cathedral on the Hill'! (Kia and Freya)
A thouroughly borin game woz won by a solitary heeder from Augsburg striker Gregoritsch at The Leazes End in the 2nd half, which sent their 30 or so shirtless visitin fans in The Leazes Corner wild with delight!
We had a few chaces durin the game, but Joselu, Perez, Ritchie an Atsu, in particular, aall failed in attempts to score!---hence the need for a new front man!
With Sporz wor visitors next Saturday in The Premyaa Leegue, we fear the worst unless wor absent owner puts hiz hand in hiz pocket to sign a proven striker we so desperetleee need!
A new rumour haz emorged that the club iz still up for sale, az to the reason for relutance to spend some of the cash generated from the sale of 'Mitro' to Fulim for £22 million!
We await with baited breath to see if West Brom's Rondon signs on the dotted line before next Thorsday!?
After the game we heeded for the chip shop next to Raffety's Bar in Pink Lane! (Very near The Central Station!)
From there we heeded into Rafferty's Bar next door where a mad tea party took place!
Toon team: Darlow, Yedlin, Lascelles, Clark, (Schar 57), Dummett (Manquillo 69), Ritchie (Kenedy 69), Hayden (Shelvey 57), Diame (Ki 29), Atsu (Murphy 57), Perez (Roberts 83), Joselu
Attendance: 21,331 (30 shirtless Ausburg fans!)
*PS: Includin today (Munday 7th August) 'The Fat Controller' haz been absent from the NUFC directors box for 456 days!
The last home game he attended woz on Sunday May 7th 2017 when we beat Barnsleee 3-0 to win The Championship!
We DO expect to see him next Saturday though!---He IZ a Sporz fan after aall!

Rafa made theeze worryin' statements after wor 4-0 hammerin' at Braga last neet!
"Things are not going well on and off the pitch!
I am worried!
Fans are concerned--they have to be--we are concerned!
We are not doing things well, on and off the pitch!
This should be A WAKE UP CALL for everyone!
(ARE YOO LISTENIN' 'FAT CONTROLLER'?)
Am I optimistic?, thinking that we can do in 10 days (when the transor window closes), that we can do in 2 months?, I DONT THINK SO!
I have NO IDEA if we are close to new signings!"
On top of THAT!--Players are REFUSIN' to talk to the club's website, or do interviews, as bonuses HAVVENT been agreed! (Again!)
And aall this just 10 days before the season starts!
Wor take on it IZ!---Rafa's patience will finally run oot when the transfor deadline arrives and he could well 'walk the walk', if nothin iz done on the transfor front!
"There may be trouble aheed-' for certain!!!"😨
