PROJECT RESTART RESERVATIONS!
Posted '12:22pm bells' Tuesday 29th April 2020
*The Premyaa Leegue are havin a meetin on Friday (by video) in a desperate bid to restart the season in the middle of Joon and the plan iz to finish the 92 games to be played by the end of July!
The games (its said) will be played on neutral groonds and Twickenham Rugby Stadium haz been mentioned, az well az Ing'land's St George's Park trainin complex and Sporz new abode!
However!---many teams are unhappy aboot givin' up home advantage, even though the groonds will be empty apart from 300 staff, tv crews etc. needed to stage the games!
Holland and France have both admitted defeat and have voided their seasons aalready, while Scotland are expected to dee the same!
Jawmany's cash strapped Bundesliga are desperate to restart next month, but it could by blocked by Jawman chancellor Angela Merkel!
It aall boils doon to TV money at the end of the day of course--and the thought of havin to watch 'The Toon' live in mee own livin room, in front of 52,000 empty seats, fills me with dread!
Will the season be completed?---who knows?---who cares? when there are still hundreds of people dying every single day!
It will be a logistical nightmare and should just ONE player get 'the bat out of hell' virus, then the whole thing will unravel for certain!
A better idea would be to end the season now and continue in September, like FIFA says, when hopefully the crisis iz ower!----and finish the season in November---have the winter break in December---and play the next season from January 2021 til say October 2021 (With a break for the rescheduled European Championships in Joon)
Then have 2 months off from November and December---And then anothaa season exclusively in 2022, with The World Cup in Qatar at the end of that year!
We shall soon find oot wot exactly WILL happen!---

Flashback 119 years!***THE TOON 1 THE LIVERBIRDS 0 *** NOVEMBER 1901
Posted '2:12 bells' Tuesday 28th April 2020
The action below iz from a 1st Division game in 1901 when NUFC played The Liverbirds at St. James' Park!
This iz believed to be the forst ever game where an NUFC game woz filmed. The game woz played in the same year that Queen Victoria died!
In those days the goalkeepers wore the same strips az the outfield players! The Toon's goalie woz M. Kingsley (below, takin goal kick)
The pictures are grainy az you'd expect, but it shows the forst ever West Stand which woz built in 1897 (to the left) and demolished in 1905!
Yoo can clearly see Leazes Terrace in the backgroond (Where The East Stand iz now!) and St. James' Street to the right---where the groond got its name from! (Below)
The crowd numbered 18,000---not bad for the time and McColl got wor goal to win the game 1-0----But unfortunately the cameras missed the goal!
See videos below for match action of the game

"OH WHY ARE WE WAITING?---OH WHY?---OH WHY?"
Posted '2:22pm bells' Munday 27th April 2020
The saga of NUFCs latest takeower haz been gannin on for more than a month now!
The question is!---How the hell does it take so lang to pass the owner and fit persons test?
They say that there's a 500 page document to get through, so even if yoo just read 20 pages a day, then surely a month is lang enough to make a decision, one way or the othaa!
Of course we have Anmisty International and several othaa group tryin to uptorn the apple cart, but even so, surely a decision shud have been reached by now?
Speculation just who will be wor new manager and new players comin' in , is exactly that! Aa meeen, just how do they know, when nebody else does!?
It's just like when will the 'bat out of hell's pandemic end---and in my case, just when will I be allowed to gan back to graft after ower a month, with nee pubs or futbaall to gan tee eethaa, are cases of the unknown!
Hopefully, we will find sommik oot this week aboot the takeower at least!
Fingers(and toes) crossed for a favourable ootcome!

THE NEVAA ENDIN' NUFC ROLLERCOASTER RIDE!
Posted '6:40pm bells' Saturday 25th April 2020
*Bein' an NUFC fan for seven decades now (1960s to 2020s), there have certainly been more 'lows' than 'highs' in that time!
In my case, we won The Inter Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 which woz an aall time 'high'----and then we were brought back doon to orth, losin at that non leegue side beginning with the letter 'H' from near Wales in 1972, which woz an all time 'low' for me! (I can't even bring meesel to print their name!)
And then anothaa 'high' in 1974 when we beat Bornley at Hillsborough to reach the FA Cup final!----followed by anothaa 'low' when we lost 3-0 to The Liverbirds in the final at Wembley!
This woz followed by anothaa 2 'lows' in 1975 when we lost to both Chester and Walsaall in Cup competitions!
And then anothaa 'high' when we beat Sporz in 1976 to reach The Leegue Cup final----to be followed again by a 'low' after losin to Man City in the final!
1978 woz anothaa 'low' with record 'low' gates of under 10,000, fences, the roof removed from The Leazes End and relegation to Division Two (now The Championship) plus a dire 4-1 defeat to lowly Wrexham in the FA Cup!
Anothaa 'low' in 1981 when we travelled to the othaa St. James Park and exited the FA Cup with a humiliatin' 4-0 loss to EXITer!
Promotion back to the top flight in 1984 with King Kev az a player woz a 'high' followed by relegation again in 1989---yet anothaa 'low'
King Kev led us back to the promised land az manager in 1993 to record anothaa 'high'----and then we hoyed a 12 point lead away when it looked certain we would win the Premyaa Leegue for anothaa 'low' in 1996
2 losses in the 1998 and 1999 FA Cup finals meant anothaa '2 lows' were added to the list!
And then in 2007 we wrongly thought that a 'high' point had been reached when a Billionaire known now az 'The Fat Controller' bought the club and we aall thought he would 'bank-roll' us back to the very top of the tree!
However!---we were soond to find oot that this woz a 'false dawn' and 2 more 'lows' followed under hiz lack of leadership because he wouldn't spend the money to make us great again, appointin' ridiculous managers like Joke Kinnear etc. and we were relegated in 2009 and 2016 (Followed by 2 'highs' of promotion at the 1st attempts!)
Finally! in 2020--aftaa several relegation battles and failed attempts to sell the club, it might finally happen when a mega rich Saudi Prince torned up! (Alang with a lass caalled Amanda and the Reuben bruvvaz!)
However!---the deal iz still to gan through aftaa several parties have tried to hoy several spanners into the works to derail the takeower, which haz been painfully slow! (Just to make it worse!)
We shall hopefully find oot within the next week if we are on an aall time 'high' at the top of the rollercaster, with a new very (VERY!) wealthy owner----OR! at a new 'low' at the very bottom of the ride, if the deal iz scuppered!
We can anly hope and pray that the deal DOES gan through and that we can get wor pride back aftaa 13 years of mediocracy and misery under wor present absent owner!🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

LIFE IN LOCKDOON!
🍺Posted '2:30 pm bells' Friday 24th April 2020🍻
It is now nearly SEVEN weeks since NUFC kicked a baall in anger (48 days!) and FIVE weeks to the day since Boris shut the boozers because of the 'bat out of hell' pandemic!
🍺🍺🍺(That's 35 days!)
I'm not sayin' that I'm sufferin' from severe withdrawal symptoms because of the lockdoon---BUT!
Repeat after mee!
"I-am-NOT-a-plonky!"
"I-am-NOT-a-plonky!"
"I-am-NOT-a-plonky!"
"I-am-NOT-a-plonky!"
"I-am-NOT-a-plonky!"
To keep me sane I've taken up landscape gardening!
(ROOT beer of course!)
MORE SPANNERS INTO THE WORKS***MORE HYPOCRISY!
Posted '5:13pm bells' Friday 24th April 2020
THE 'GET's CAALLED BETTS!
Yet anothaa spanner has been hoyed into the works---this time from Sheffield south Labour MP Clive Betts!
He's demanded that the government intervenes in the NUFC takeower by a Saudi prince!
Did he intervene when his local club Sheffeeeld United were taken ower by a (wait for it!) ----SAUDI PRINCE!???
The answer to the question is: NO HE DIDN'T!!!
MORE HYPOCRISY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER!

Surely the Premyaa Leegue can't reject wor takeower now!
How come Amnesty International, Qater TV and Richard 'Weaze Keys' (plus many, many more!) HAVVINT slagged Man U off because they have Saudi Arabia partners????
A case of one rule for THEM!
And one rule for US!
Like I say: "NO ONE LIKES US!---IT'S NOT FAIR!"
OH!---AND 'THIS' FROM ANOTHAA 'UNITED'!
Did Amnesty International etc. try to stop the takeower when a Saudi prince bought Sheff U ????

"ITS ENOUGH TO DRIVE YOO TO DRINK!"
Posted '1:11pm bells' Wedinzday 22nd April 2020
News that amnesty international and a Qater tv company are tryin to block the takeower of NUFC iz now worldwide news!
It's unreal that az soon az we get a very rich buyer who iz gannin to make us great again, then 2 spanners are hoyed into the works to try and stop the deal gannin through!
Sheffeeeld United were bought by a rich Saudi and nowt iz said!
Man City are owned by a very rich Arab and nowt iz said!
Man U have Saudi Arabia partners and nowt said!
Yet when we try to do it, we are condemned and vilified.
Iz it just me? who 'finks' that no one likes us and that they will de ANYTHIN' to put us doon and try and stop the biggest takeower in futbaall history?
We can anly hope that the Premyaa Leegue are NOT influenced by outsiders and let the takeower gan through!
Its said a decision will be forthcomin within 3 weeks!
That's 3 weeks of nail biting, hair pullin' and daily exercise to the nearest 'off licence' to buy crates of broon ale and cans to keep us permanently comotosed!
"NO ONE LIKES US!---
IT'S NOT FAIR!"
Update: The Premyaa Leegue have replied to a letter sent by amnesty international and have said that neethaa they OR the government will intervene in the takeower!
That leaves the Qater TV company who broadcast Premyaa Leegue games owerseas az the last hurdle to overcome in the 'Fit and Propaa Persons test'! (Qater and next door neighbours Saudi Arabia are sworn enemies!)
