It will be interestin wot golf players Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods will dee, az they were 100% opposed to The Saudis in golf and torned doon eye waterin money, reported to be $140 MILLION to join LIV Golf!?
Watch this space for forthaa news!

"THE TIMES THEY ARE 'A' CHANGIN'!"
Tuezday October 20th 2009 iz a date that brought a low point in wor lang Futbaall Leegue history. For this iz the day we went to Scunthorpe United in The Championship and somehow managed to lose 2-1!
2,185 hardy souls had travelled doon from Tyneside in a sold oot away end and were part of Scunny's biggest ever crowd at Glanford Park of 8,921!
Kevin Nolan scored wor solitary goal, but 2 goals from Scunthorpe's Martyn Woolford 'pulled the wool ower wor eyes' (sic!) in a humiliatin defeat!
A'd went to this game with Toon fan 'The Undertaker' in hiz 'jam jar' and in hiz effort to get a quick getaway aftter the game, he crashed hiz car into the back of anothaa car!---The driver got oot and we thought "Oh no there might be trouble here!", but it woz a Toon fan who we knew caalled 'Clarky' and az the damage woz nowt more than a slightly scrapped bumper he just laughed it off!
(Tragically, 'The Undertaker' lost hiz life with Toon fan 'Liam from The Lamp' ,when the plane they woz travellin on to New Zealand to watch NUFC friendlies in 2014, woz shot doon ower Ukraine!)
Fast forward nearly 24 years (sorry 14 years-- thanx to Jimmy the Riddler for spottin my dilibritt mistayk!) and NUFC have qualified for The Champions Leegue, with the prospect of mouth waterin games v Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Barcelona to look forward tee! ---while Scunny have been relegated from the National Leegue and must play their futbaall in The National Leegue North next season, which iz 'level 6' in the pyramid system with the prospect of 'mouth waterin' games against Sooth Sheeelds, King's Lynn Toon and The Spartans from Blyth to look forward tee!
ie: The 2 teams couldn't possibly be further apart now---could they!?
(PS: NUFC aalso lost 6-1 at Leyton Orient in a pre season friendly that year!!!---AYE! we were there az well!)

Leeedz relegation to the Championship meeenz that Fat Sam (sorry' Fat SHAM!) now haz 3 relegations on hiz CV!
In hiz forst managerial job he took Notts Coonty doon from the the old 3rd Division to the 4th in the 1996-97 season!--Something everybody seems to have forgotten aboot! (He never mentioned it!)
Then of course 2 years ago he took West Brom doon from The Premyaa Leegue to the Championship but got a huge payoff az a 'reward'! (He woz supposed to be their savior!)
And now he haz taken Leeedz on the same pathway with just 1 point from hiz 4 games in charge!
This meeenz he doesn't get hiz £3 million pounds bonus for keepin them up and haz to settle for a 'meagre' £750,000 instead!
Just like Brucey he haz made a fortune from failure!
Let's hope those 2 fraudsters never con anothaa job in futbaall again!
Posted from '10:30am bells' onwards on the train from King's Cross to The Toon!
"THE END GAME!" (AND 150 DIFFERENT !'LIQUID LUBRICATION LOCATIONS' VISITED!🤪👍🍺)
A 1-1 draw woz the outcome of this game played in the bakin heat in west London!
The Toon fans were in great voice and on the train doon one kid had a loudhailer and blasted oot the Champions Leegue theme tune on a recorder in wor carriage!
We took the lead in the 9th minite when Anthony Gordon fired home to rapturous applause from the 3,000 Toon faithful in the opposite Shed End--Gordon's forst goal for us!--Hiz forst goal for NUFC!
Chelseee equalised in the 27th minute when Kieran Trippier scored an unfortunate own goal!
There were chances at both ends after this, but the score remained the same at the half time break!
The 2nd half wasnt very good and the home side could have won it at the death but one of their forwards missed a great chance and fired wide, when it woz easier to score!
17 year old Lewis Miley came on to make hiz debut to chants of "He's one of our own!" He then scrapped the crossbar with a great shot! (I woz in the same infant school class az a 5 year old with Lewis's grandad many many moons ago!) So he would be chuffed to bits aboot that!
Full time 1-1
News came through that Moan U had beaten Fulim meeenin that wor final Premyaa Leegue position woz 4th top!
PS: We say Chelseee Pensioners az that woz their original nickname---now binned by them---but not us!)
Attendance: 41,000 (3,000 Toon fans in very good voice! (Minus that loud hailer which we assumed wasn't allowed in!)
LOUD HAILER MAN AT KING'S CROSS DRAPED IN A ISAK SWEDEN FLAG!
