Bornley drawing 1-1 with Fulim tooneet iz the best result we could hope for az both drop 2 points!
Haz it really come to this! Praying that Fulim don't win at Bornley!?

"THE BIG SLEEP!"
The game at Stamford Bridge last neet seemed like a trainin session to the Toon players and predicably the hosts were in complete control!
2-0 doon at half time, when it shud have been 4 or 5, tells it's own sorry tale of wor season so far!
Aye, we played a bit better in the 2nd period, but Chelski had took the foot off the gas by then, az they realised that there woz nee way back for NUFC and the 3 points were secure!
Wor manager smiled in the post match interview and even said that, "We were excellent in the 2nd half!" (????) Totally oblivious to the predicament we find worsels in! He aalso bizarrly said that, "The players were enjoying it!" (WOT! enjoyin' gettin' beat again!??)
The reality is that we are sleepwalkin towards the cliff edge, az Fulim edge closer and close to us and away from it!!!!
The players az well, dont seem to realise that a cliff edge fall izn't far away! "ZZZZzzzz!!!!"
Footnote:
In July Bruce said this:
"Our aim is for a top 10 finish!"
In January Bruce said this:
"We are NOT in a relegation battle!"
And yesterday he said this:

THE LAST TIME WE WERE THERE ---A 1-0 DEFEAT IN OCTOBER 2019NUFC gan into tooneets game points just 7 above the relegation places, after Fulim's unexpected win at Evaatin last neet--- and if past visits to this part of west London are to gan by, then we will be very grateful indeed to come away with a precious point!
We have lost here 7 times in a row in the Leegue and have won just once in 25 attempts durin the Premyaa Leegue era!---NOT a happy huntin groond for sure!
With injuries aplenty, we will send oot a patched up squad and 'hope for the best'!
A full Geordie Times match report will appear here sometime on Tuesday!---Az per usual watch this space!

Today the greatest manager in my lifetime az a Toon fan iz 70 years young!
He earned us the title 'The Entertainers' for wor swashbuckling futbaall in the 1990s and will forever be in wor hearts!
A VERY HAPPY 70th BORTHDAY KING KEV!
PS: Today would aalso have been the 70th borthday of NUFCs greatest ever fan and a good friend of mine, John Alder, known as 'The Undertaker', who woz tragically killed alang with Liam Sweeney in the MH17 aircraft which woz shot doon in July 2014, on their way to New Zealand to watch us in pre season friendlies!
'The Undertaker' had been to 1,684 NUFC competitive games in a row--a record which surely will never ever be beaten!
PPS: My own personal record is 1,201 consecutive games, until Covid struck!🦇

"TOON FANS TARRED WITH THE SAME BRUSH!"
More depressin' news that wor manager has received hate mail and alleged death threats, via hiz son's Twitter account, reaches us!
If it's TRUE? that anonymous trolls (not fans) hope that he gets Covid, then it's an absolute disgrace!
Aalso, if they are anonymous, then 'some' could be rival fans, pretending to be Toon fans and sending them to discredit us!?
Az yoo know, 'The Geordie Times' doesn't like Bruce's futbaall and never wanted him az manager, but we will never stoop so low az to wish ill of him!
Az for 'US', 'we are sittin on the fence' as we just divvint naa wot to beleeeve anymore??? (Whether the stories are true--or not!)
The tabloids yet again have tarred us aall with the same brush, when genuine Toon fans would never send hate mail like this!
With seemingly half wor team crocked az well, it has been yet another bad week for certain!
And from social media!

Just how many points will be needed to avoid relegation iz the big talkin point ower the weekend! Aall the results for team below NUFC were kind to us and we are now 10 points above the drop zone with 15 games to play!
It's fair to say that if we averaged a point a game from now til the end of the season, we would end up with 40 points, which would be more than enough for survival this season!
Indeed if the projected points total of teams below us on their current average, are correct, then anly TWO more points would be needed, az 3rd bottom Fulim are on course to collect 26 points in total, just ONE more than we have now!
Projected points totals after 38 games
17th Bornley are averaging 1.04 points per game so far
If they keep the same average up they will end up with
39/40 points after 38 games
18th Fulim are averaging 0.68 points per game so far
If they keep the same average up they will end up with
26 points after 38 games
19th Fat Sam's WBA are averaging 0.52 points per game so far
If they keep the same average up they will end up with
20 points after 38 games
20th Sheff U are averaging 0.47 points per game so far
If they keep the same average up they will end up with
18 points after 38 games
NUFC, who are in 16th place in the table are averaging 1.08 points per game so far
If we keep the same average up we will end up with
41 points after 38 games (az will Brightin, who are on the same number of points)
Hopefully we will survive and play another season in the top fight with 'new owners' in charge! (PLEEEEZE GOD!🙏)
If we do gan doon, then any takeower deals will more than likely be 'off' and we will be stuck with 'The Fat Controller' once again!---and yet another relegation battle!
It doesnt bear 'finkin' aboot---does it!

Manquillo aalso suffered a bad ankle injury, while wor top goalscorer Callum Wilson pulled his hamstring and aall 3 took no forthaa part in the game, played in monsoon conditions!
We wish aall of them a speedy recovery in this bizarre and crazy season, az we watch on from wor homes and local pubs! (when they are open, that iz!)
"GET WELL SOON, LADS!"
