In July 1966 Ing'land won the World Cup----In June 1969 NUFC won the Inter Cities Fairs Cup---In July 1969 man landed on the Moon!
Since then, neethaa Ing'land or NUFC have won a major trophy!
"One smaall step for man!---one giant leap backwards for Ing'land and NUFC!"
"IT'S AALL NEIL ARMSTRONG'S FAULT!"😬

"A TABLE SIR!--THAT WILL BE £240--THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" ("YOU MUG!")
The Euros have reached fever pitch with greedy bar owners demanding an incredible £240 to book a table on the Toon quayside in between the Swing and High Level bridges!---and some mugs have been daft enough to pay it, to watch the Ing'land v Italy final on a big screen oot in the open!!!--so if it rains they will get soaked to the skin and pay £6 a pint in a paper thin plastic container! (I refuse to caall it a 'glass'!) Then if Ing'land score they'll chuck their expensive booze ower each othaa!!!
The semi final v The Danes woz £240 for a table az well!
Personally, I will be watchin on from mee local non leegue club's clubhoose where its costs nowt to get in and haz a roof to protect yoo from the elements and the booze iz £3 a pint in a 'propaa' 'glass' glass!--and aa will definitely NOT chuck it ower somebody if we score tooneet!!!
"HOWAY ING'LAND!"

Harrogate have joined York in bannin' Toon fans from their groond on Sunday week!
Both games are at the same time ('2:00 🔔s') yet we cannit gan to eethaa!! (The 25 man forst team squad will split into two and send half to each game!) (thats 12 and a half!)
Anly Harrogate season ticket holders can gan and they must apply in person at their ticket office on Munday to get one!
However! We will play there again in October when wor U21s gan there in the Papa John's Trophy!
'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers' are still attempting to get into York's new groond next week, but we have been unsuccessful so far in gettin tickets!
(We have been to Harrogate before for a friendly a canny few years ago, so nee attempt to get tickets for that one have been made!)
We can anly hope that this 'trend' doesn't set a president for forthcomin away Premyaa Leegue games?

The question iz? Where have aall the stripes gone?
Just ONE black stripe doon the middle looks horrendous, if yoo ask us!
A very appropriate photo shoot!---Whoever designed it must be 'A 🧺basket case'!
Footnote:
Basket case meaning: Someone or something regarded as not very good!

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 TAKE THE KANE!"🦯
An unexpected 4-0 demolition of The Ukraine lifts Ing-er-land into the semi final of the Euros, where we will play Denmark on Wedinzday neet for a place in the final at Wembley next Sunday, against eethaa Spain or Italy, who meet in the othaa semi on Tuesday!
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!
