KANE AND ABLE!
On the 7th day of the 7th month Ing-er-land progressed to the final of the Euros with a deserved 2-1 victory!
An OG equaliser after the Danes had taken the lead---and a dodgy penalty were decisive, when Harry Kane came to the rescue and scored a rebound after hiz pen woz parried away by Schmeichel-- straight to hiz feet and he said "thank you very much!" to win the game 2-1 in extra time
The NUFC coach Graeme Jones iz part of Southgate's backroom team!---Well done Graeme mate!
The final iz on Sunday neet and yours truly haz taken a days holiday on Munday, az I will be incapable of drivin that day--whatever the result v The I-ties!
"HOWAY ING'LAND!"

If anybody thought that the NUFC takeower woz dead in the waataa, and that the consortium had waalked away a year ago, last July---- then fink again!
Amanda Staveley, wor chairwoman in waiting, haz released a statement into the "NO comment!" statements repeatedly issued by the EPL-- proof that the PCP Capital Partners takeower haz NOT been abandoned by the Saudis, Amanda and the Reuben brothers!
An alleged offender, when asked questions by detectives, will reply "NO comment!" to repeated questioning, which iz exactly wot the EPL iz doing! (ie: they are crooks az well!)
There iz still hope that it will eventually happen after 18 long months of torture!
Put it this way! Why would she bother to ✍write such a letter if they HAD waalked away???
Below iz Amanda's letter to Tracey Crouch the Conservitive minister who iz chairing the fan led review to sport!

Ukraine were hit by a hurriKane (sic!) az a Harry Kane brace and one each from Maguire and henderson, sealed the magnificent win in Rome in front of a 21,000,000 BBC audience, (and a few in Rome!)
Well done lads and best of luck on Wedinzday!

NUFC have complained that the EPL haven't been open with them and there iz nee transparency in regard to the takeower, yet the very same club says nowt to the loyal fans aboot season ticket renewals, new players, or anything else for that matter!
Below iz a club statement condemning the secrecy of the arbitration!
A bit rich from a club that stays silent itself!---isn't it just!

News reaches The Geordie Times (2 days late!) that yet anothaa Yorkshire friendly haz been added to the list, makin a total of 5 pre season friendlies in the coonty!
We will travel to the Keepmoat Stadium, Doncaster on Friday 23rd July for a '7:00 bells' kick off (Or at least the team will travel, az there iz nee news if away fans will be allowed to attend?)
Meeenwhile Rafa haz signed for Evaatin and good luck to him, with the hostility of their fans to contend with!
The NUFC takeower saga drags on and we have nee idea wethaa it will be succesful or not?
If it isn't, then we are stuck with the same manager, owner and nee new players (so far) and yet anothaa top flight survival battle iz on the cards, if this nightmare scenario happens!
We shall soon find oot me 'finks'!
STOP PRESS! '3:00pm bells'
A home friendly v Nohrich haz been added to the list
Saturday August 7th with a '2:00 🔔bells' kick off!

News that York City have been forced to deny entry to Toon fans in wor forthcoming friendly next month at their new groond, haz sent shock waves through 'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers' fan base!!! (See above!)
Indeed, anly 2,000 home fans will be allowed into their 8,500 capacity stadium, denyin them much needed revenue! (Some mad-sad groundhoppers (includin' 'me') have even looked at prices of York season tickets to get in, but were put off, az they are nearly £300 for an adult!)
York, would of course 💘love to welcome up to 3,000 of us, but The City of York advisory committee have said that 6,500 seats must remain empty for them to receive a safety covid certificate!
Pure 😠madness if yoo ask us, az huge 60,000 plus crowds are to be allowed into Wembley for the Euro semi finals in the very same week! (Many of them from othaa European countries!)
Nothing makes sense anymore in this 🤪crazy mixed up country!🥶
Meeenwhile--and taakin of Wembley---there's a certain Euro game there at '5:00 bells' toonet when Ing-er-land take on Jawmany for a place in the qwaataa finals!---In front of 45,000 fans! Where's the logic??? (nee Jawmans allowed!)
Ing-er-🏴land expects!
Updated '10:30am bells' Wedinzday
For once Ing-er-land didn't let us doon and won 2-0 with goals from Sterling and Kane to set up a qwaataa final with The Ukraine on Saturday neet!
Ing-er-land expected and delivered!!!
