THE TOON 1 P*SS POTTER'S CHELSEEE 0 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2022-2023
Posted from 'high noon bells' onwards, Remembrance Sunday 2022
"WE WILL REMEMBER THEM!"
A stunnin' 30 yard screamer from Joe Willock sealed the 3 points for The Toon from a Miggy Almiron run, meenz that we have an amazin 30 points from 15 games, which averages oot at 2 points a game!
Just 2 points behind current champions 'The Blue Moonies of Mancland' in 2nd place and 7 behind The Arse who are top of the tree!----Even the most optimistic Toon fan wouldnt have predicted this----not even us at The Geordie Times, who said at the start of the season that a 7th place finish woz just aboot possible!
Again we played well and fought for every baall with a 'high press', which Chelseee couldn't cope with!
The goal came near the mid-point of the 2nd half at The Gallowgate End, which nearly took the roof of the stadium az the noise woz deafenin'!
NUFC are now unbeaten in 10 Premyaa Leegue games!
Lang may it continue az we reach the World Cup break and a guaranteed Champions Leegue 3rd place for Xmas Day! (We were rock bottom last Xmas!)
If we are still in that 3rd position or just one lower by the January transfor window, then 'Steady Eddie' will have an ace card to persuade quality players to join us in a push for Champions Leegue qualification ---whereaz last January aall he had woz a joker card to persuade players to join a relegation battle!
Happy days indeed for The Toon Army, the players and the owners of wor great club!
Attendance: 52,264 (3,200 p*ssed off Chelseee fans!)
THE PLAYERS DEE A LAP OF HONOUR AT THE END OF THE MATCH!
HAPPY FANS LEAVE THE GROOND!
AND IN THE DRESSIN' ROOM POST MATCH!
FOR 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE CHELSEEE MATCH THE BBC PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE ON IT'S WEBSITE THAT THERE WOULD BE A SPORTS WASHING PROTEST BY NUFC FANS AGAINT THE SAUDI TAKEOVER BEFORE AND AFTER THAT GAME!
AFTER THE MATCH THE ARTICLE HAD MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED???----I WONDER WHY ???????

The 2nd half woz nee different, but from the 65th minute onwards 'Steady Eddie' sent on FIVE cavalrymen, in the shape of Trippier, Botman, Bruno, Willock and Almiron,---but it did nee good az the jinx of the 'cups' hit us once again!

WOT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES!
Posted '6:00pm bells' Tuezday 8th November 2022
"NEE DONKEY DERBY'S NOW!"
On this day last year 'Steady Eddie' took 'the reins' from 'Broken Nose Bruce' and in the process he haz transformed us from lame donkeys to thoroughbred race horses!
We were rock bottom of the Premyaa Leegue with nee wins in 14 and were odds on favorites with the bookies to gan doon! If that had happened, then we would be playin 'donkey derby's' against the SMBs this season!
A year on and we are now in 3rd place and joint 3rd favorites at 50/1 to WIN the Premyaa Leegue, with just 1 undeserved defeat v Livaapool in 14 games!
Wor prediction of a 7th place finish at the start of the season woz wildly optimistic to say the least! (How wrang were 'WE'?)
Never in wor wildest dreams did we fink that we had an outside chance of the title!
But az we are just 7 points behind top placed Arsenil, it's a very unlikely scenario, but we can still dream!
'Steady Eddie' haz done miracles with the players, especially Miggy Almiron and Joelinton, who look unrecognizable from a year ago!
"A VERY HAPPY 1ST ANNIVORSARY EDDIE!"
