THE HAZBEENZ AND VILLIANS 4-1 THE TOON *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2024-2025

Posted ‘high noon 'bells' on the train back Sunday 20th April 2025

*”TYPICAL TOON!”

TOON IN WHITE SHIRTS AND GREEN SHORTS

*It took Villa a mere 36 seconds to open the scorin when a Watkin’s shot took a wicked deflection off Schar, which wrong footed The Pope in the Toon goal and ended up in the back of the net!—1-0 to them!  The 2nd time this haz happened in Birmingham this year, az Birmingham City took the lead within a minute in wor FA Cup tie there in January! 

It woz ‘even steven’s’ after this and we equalised in the 18th minute when Fab Schar heeded in a Harvey Barnes cross with the Villa goalie unable to stop in crossin the goal line! 1-1

That’s the way it stayed til the break!

Something had to ‘give’ az NUFC were on a 6 game winnin streak, while Villa were unbeaten in 15 home games!— and so it did in the 2nd period!—but NOT in wor favour!

Watkins played a through baall to Maatsen, who raced into the box and hit a sweet cross from an angle, with The Pope unable to stop it entering the goal! 2-1 to them!

Worse woz to follow a few minutes later, when, within 2 minutes they struck twice!

A Ramsey cross woz inadvertently deflected into the net by Dan Burn and then Onana hit a shot from the edge of the box to complete the scorin! 4-1 to them!

Villa had aalso hit the goal frame 3 times, while NUFC hardly ventured into their half!

3 games in a week with the same startin’ line ups!

It’s typical of us to play brilliantly most of the time, but az any seasoned Toon fan knows, there’s aalways a bad result every now and again aroond the corner! (2-4 at Brentfaad, 1-4 v Bournemooth, 0-4 at Man City etc!)

Still! 20 wins oot of the last 25 in aall competitions isn’t bad at aall! (5-0 v Palliss, 4-1 v Moan U, 2-1 v the champions elect at Wembley etc!🏆)

At the time of writin this we are still 3rd in the table, but aall that could change in the next few days, with Champions Leegue rivals in action before we play ‘The Tractor Boys’ of Ipswich next Saturday at SJP!

Attendance: 42,618 (3,000 shell shocked Toon fans!)

*”IT WOZ JUST LIKE A LAUREL & HARDY SKETCH!”

(The circle line!)

We stopped at the Travelodge Birmingham International on the outskirts of Birmingham on Saturday neet, coz it woz half the price of the city centre hotels!

We ordered a taxi for ‘8:30 bells 🔔’ on Sunday mornin’ to take us to Birmingham International train station (a 7-8 minute taxi ride from the hotel—£10 fare!) We got there in good time for the train to Birmingham New Street (a 10 minute jorney) and the plan woz to gan to the Greggs shop in New Street station and get a couple of bacon and egg sarnies each, az we were clammin, before catchin the 10:50am bell🔔s’ train back to The Toon!

However!—the train from Birmingham International woz CANCELLED at short notice and we would miss wor connection if we waited for the next one!

PANIC STATIONS!🥶

BUT! there woz an express bus to Birmingham and so we caught that instead—and guess what?—it actually went back the way we’d come in the taxi and past a bus stop near WOR HOTEL on the way to New Street station!!!—By the time the bus got there, we didn’t have time to gan to Greggs and had to make a mad dash for the train!🚂  

“How’s the bacon, 🥓 did you say!?”

“YI COULDN’T MAKE IT UP!”🙈

 

THE HAZBEENZ AND VILLIANS v THE TOON *** SATURDAY EVENIN'

 Posted '6:00pm bells'🔔 Good Friday 18th April 2025 

"5-4-3-2-1"

In NUFCs last 5 Premyaa Leegue games we have scored 5 v The Palliss-------4 v Moan U-------3 v Lestaa--------2 v Brentfaad---------1 v West 'am and now we face Villa----6 perhaps?---or perhaps not!

Thats 15 goals scored in 5 games and anly 2 conceded! and a maximum of 15 points oot of 15 picked up!

We really are flyin high in 3rd place in the table and the amazin' form of Kieran Trippier, Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes inparticular, haz  been a major reason for wor winnin sequence! (6 in a row in aall competitions)

IF we play like we did against The Palliss and Moan U, then we have a great chance of pullin clear of the chasin pack for the Champions Leegue target!

We expect an unchanged startin' line up yet again!---Aall 3,000 away digital tickets were sold oot lang ago!

This game iz definatly a '6 pointer', for IF we beat Villa who are in 7th place, we will gan 8 points clear of them, with 5 games to gan!---and with a far superior goal difference! Aalso we will move within a point of 'The Arse', az they divvint play Ipswich Toon away til Sunday!

7 TEAMS ARE LEFT IN CONTENTION FOR THE TOP 5 CHAMPIONS LEEGUE HOLY GRAIL PLACES!  LIVAAPOOL OF COURSE, ARE CERTAIN TO BE IN IT! WITH 'THE ARSE' HIGHLY LIKELY TO QUALIFY AZ WELL, LEAVIN' 3 PLACES FOR 5 TEAMS!

We are on an orly train 🚂 to Bormingham New Street tomorrow mornin', with plenty of time to dee a Bormingham pub crawl 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 before the '5:30 bells' 🕭 kick off!

A Geordie Times match (and booze!) report will appear here sometime on Easter Sunday! APU, "Watch this space!"

THE TOON 5 THE PALLISS 0 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2024-2025

 Posted 'high noon bells' Thorzday 17th April 2025

“FIVE STAR ⭐⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PERFORMANCE!”

Last neet the forst half display woz probably the very best this season az we trounced The Palliss 4-0 by the half time break! The  absence of wor ‘leader’ ‘Steady Eddie Howe’ haz galvanised the team to perform to the highest level—a level we reached in a breathtaking forst half! (Both Jason Tindall and Graham Jones were in the home dugoot again!) 

From the word 'go' we were up for it az we attacked the Gallowgate goal in the forst period!---

The main events were az follows:

Palliss won the toss and made us kick towards the Gallowgate End in the forst half!—A decision that backfired badly for them! (For those of yoo who divvint naa---If NUFCs win the toss we aalways kick towards the Gallowgate in the SECOND half!)

We failed to capatolize within 30 seconds of the kick off when we should have taken the lead!

Jacob Murphy punts a wicked baall forward, but it’s just aheed of Isak and Bruno and the baall runs ower the goal line to safety!

14th minute: Jacob Murphy runs doon the wing and from a very tight angle hits a piledriver shot into the roof of the net with their goalie well beaten, (reminisent of Tonali's shot v Brentfaad at the Leazes End!) A brilliant goal that had the fans roarin in appreciation! (Jacob's 9th goal of the season!)

36th minute: 'The Pope' gans up to punch the baall and collides with Richards and after a very lang VAR check (at least 7 minutes!) the ref eventually makes hiz mind up, after seein the replay aboot 25 times and points to the spot!

Ebe Eze took the penalty and did one of those slow run ups and delayed kick to hit the baall weakly to Pope's right and wor keeper easily saved the shot, to roars louder than for Murphy's goal!

Just seconds later on instead of 1-1 it woz 2-0 to 'us', az Harvey Barnes ran doon the wing and crossed the baall---anly for Palliss's Guehi to deflect the baall into hiz own net!

Tonali then played Barnes through and he raced doon the pitch to plant a great shot past the advancin Henderson in the Palliss goal, to make it 3-0 in stoppage time! (Harvey's 4th goal in 3 games!)

Not lang after it woz 4-0 when 'Fab' Schar heeded into the net from a Murphy cross in the EIGHTH minute of forst half stoppage time! (The extra time added coz it took SO lang to give the penalty!)

There woz nee way back for the 'Croydon Boys' az their 900 fans high up in the Leazes End, watched on in horror! HT 4-0 to 'us'!

The scorin woz completed in the minute of the second half when, just before the hour mark, Joelinton won the baall off Laxence and it ended up at 'Alexander The Great's' feet (Isak) and he hit a precision shot into the corner of the Leazes net from 25 yards oot and past the Palliss goalie to make it 5-0! ('The Great's' 25th goal of the season!)

There were many chances to increase wor lead, but in the end wor goal difference woz boosted by 5 to add to the 4 v Moan U at the weekend, and sent us up the 3rd in The Premyaa Leegue table, above Forest and just 4 behind 2nd placed Arsenil! (Wor goal difference iz now +21!)

THE RACE FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEEGUE AND A TOP 5 FINISH, IZ ON!

Wor SIXTH win on the spin, includin' the Wembley triumph---can we make it 'Seven Heaven' at Villa on Saturday?

Much more to follow---keep readin updates thoughoot the day!

Attendance: 52,197 (just 900 'anti Saudi' away followers, who, in fairness, stopped til the bitter end!) (the claimed 5,000 'human rights' protesters, who would turn up, proved to be a total fantasy!)

THE TOON V THE HOLMESDALE HYPOCRITES OF PALLISS*** TOONEET!

 Posted ‘2:00pm bells’ Wedinzday 16th April 2025

THE LEAZES END STAND FROM LEAZES PARK LAKE!

Eddie Howe iz still in hospital suffering from Pneumonia and will miss tooneet and Saturday’s game at Villa!—Hopefully he will be back in the dugoot very soon and we aall wish him well!  Meenwhile Jason Tindall and Graham Jones will be in charge at both mentioned games!

We ‘Fink’ that the startin line up will be the same that thrashed Moan U 4-1 on Sunday to move us up to 4th in the Premyaa Leegue table!

This iz wor game in hand ower the rest of the chasin pack and a win against The Palliss who sit in 12th place, will move us up to 3rd above Forest —-and 4 points behind The Arse in 2nd place!

It won’t be easy of course az we feel that they will put up a better performance than the Moan U Muppets! 

NUFC are lookin for wor SIXTH win on the spin, includin the Leegue Cup triumph at Wembley, while Palliss lost 5-2 at Man City last week, after bein 2-0 up!

A full Geordie Times match report will appear here az per usual sometime tomorrow!

APU “Watch this space!”

373 joie stadium (v man c u21s)

 Ground number 373 (374 includin Motspur Park from ootside!)

Date of First Visited: 14th April 2025

Joie Stadium, Manchester

Manchester City U21s 4

Newcastle United U21s 0

Premier League 2

Attendance: 1,000 (estimated)

5 NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers

THE ETHIAD STADIUM IZ IN THE BACKGROOND BEHIND THE FAR CORNER

“EAST MANC MISERY TOUR!”

The jorney doon woz anxious to say the least, the other 3 in the car had bought digital tickets online, (Glennn from Ashington, Biffa the Beer and driver, Blondie Alan the Morris Dancer) and I HADDINT!—I tried in vain to buy one on mee ‘telling bone’ 📱 but their website said ticket sales for the match had ended! 🥶

The fear woz that I would be refused entry and have to watch on from the bridge across the road! —and when we got to the tornstiles aa nervously asked a steward if tickets were on sale!🙏🏻

“YES!” he said, “the tickets office is around the corner!” PANIC OVER! 🤪👍 🎫 

I bought a concession ticket for the princely sum of one poond and heeded back to the tornstiles!

Once inside we bumped into Byzy who had travelled doon from Ashington! That made 5 NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers in total!

The mini stadium which iz used by their U21s and women’s team looked really smart and had cover on aall sides, with light and dark blue seats in the 2 side stands and standin terracin behind both goals— not sure of the capacity, but it looked aroond aboot the 8,000 mark!?

THIS WOZ THE ANLY STAND OPEN!

It took the home side, who were top of the Leegue just 5 minutes to open the scorin, when a Muir cross hit defender Cathel Hefferman’s foot and deflected into his own goal!🙈

1-0 to them!🥶

A minute later we should have equalised when a Sean Neave shot beat their keeper, but woz cleared off the line by Pusey!

On the qwaataa of an hour mark Man City increased their lead when Oboavwodou⬅️(hope av spelttt that reet?) spun aroond in the box and hit a shot past Harrison in The Toon goal! 2-0 to them!🥶

It woz virtually one way traffic when in the 28th minute they scored another, when Heskey foond Mubama who raced through unchallenged to plant the baall into wor net once more! 3-0 to them and we hadn’t even played half an hour!🥶

More chances were missed and somehow wor U21s went in just 3-0 doon at the break!

The 2nd half started off a bit brighter for us az Garung Kuol missed the goal completely, when he should have scored!

THE FLOODLIGHT PYLONS BEYOND ARE LIGHTING THE ACADEMY PITCHES WHERE GAMES WERE BEING PLAYED!

‘The Blue Moonies’ then got their 4th goal in the 56th minute when Mubama scored hiz 2nd goal from just ootside the box with a great strike! 4-0!🥶

The bar woz then rattled by McAdoo, but mercifully there woz nee more scorin from them!

We were completly ootclassed and were very lucky not to concede double the final score!

So, for the 2nd time in 2 months NUFC lost 4-0 in the east side of Manchester! (Wor 1st team lost 4-0 at The Ethiad in February!)

That ‘surrender’ woz just ower the road from Man City’s mini stadium!

The Blue Moonies win meenz they are champions, whereas NUFC U21s ended in the 9th ‘play off place’ in the Premyaa Leegue 2 table, so the 4-0 hammerin woz predictable!

This woz actually the 4th groond within qwaataa of a mile that we have seen an NUFC team play on—-believe it or not?

1:The Ethiad Stadium, groond 234 (Then known az The City of Manchester Stadium)

2: Sports City, groond 243 to the north of The Ethiad Stadium

3: City of Football Academy Complex ‘pitch 8’ groond 317 to the south of The Joie Stadium

4: The Joie Stadium, groond 373 to the south of The Ethiad Stadium

Add Man City’s old Maine Road groond (1st visited in 1969) and old academy pitches next to it caalled Platt Lane, meenz that ‘The NUFC mad- sad groundhoppers’ have actually visited SIX different groonds in Manchester alone, to watch us play Man City’s 1st team, Resorves and U21s!

Can’t see that ever bein’ beaten!

The pre match gargels took place in The Grove, aboot a qwaataa of a mile from The Joie.

The landlady woz a Man City fan and she shook wor hands coz we beat Moan U 4-1 the day before!

We had to park the car even further away coz of parkin restrictions in the local streets! Aboot a mile and a half from the groond, believe it or not!?

“WE WOZ THERE!”“I GOT IN!”

THE TOON 4. THE MOAN U MUPPETS 1 ***PREMYAA LEEGUE 2024-2025

 Posted ‘high noon 🕛 bells 🔔’ Munday 14th April 2025

“GET WELL SOON EDDIE!”

Az heed coach ‘Steady Eddie’ watched on from hiz hospital bed in the RVI near SJP (so we were told), hiz team a few hundred yards away didn’t let him doon!

The Toon were on the front foot from the start az we attacked the Leazes End goal!

The goal sequences were az follows:

24th minute: After sustained pressure we finally took the lead when Isak set up Tonali who vollied a shot past rookie Moan U goalie Bayinder, who had replaced Onana due to some horrendous errors at Lyon in the Europa Leegue last week!

37th minute: Several more chances to double wor lead went ‘a beggin’ and we paid the price when a rare Moan U attack saw Dalot pass to Garnacho, who hit a shot that went in off the post with ‘The Pope’ in the Toon goal beaten! HT 1-1

49th minute: Bruno finds Livramento, who in turn finds Murphy at the far post. He lays a nice pass to Barnes, who 🔥 fires home from close range to restore wor lead! 2-1 to us!

64th minute: A stumble by Mazraoil lets in Harvey Barnes, who raced towards the Gallowgate goal and hit a superb shot past Bayinder, to put us 3-1 up!

77th minute: Rookie goalie Bayinder passes to Joelinton by misstayk and he heeds it doon to unmarked Bruno and he said “thank you very much!” az he had the simple task of firing into an empty net to complete the rout! By this time most of the MU Muppets had departed for trains 🚂 to King’s Cross and anywhere nee where near Manchester! 4-1 FT

This photo of the Moan U section woz taken in the 85th minute!

The roar of the crowd at the full time whistle could be heard at the RVI!

“Can yoo hear us Eddie Howe!?”

Attendance: 52,252 (It should be noted that for the forst time ever that there were empty seats in the Moan U sections!) 

This photo of the Moan U section woz taken 5 minutes after kick off!

THE NUMBERS GAME:

4: The win lifts NUFC from 7th to 4th in the Premyaa Leegue table!

5:This woz wor 5th win in a row includin’ the Leegue Cup final!

94: This woz the forst time since 1931 that NUFC had done the double ower them—that’s 94 years ago!

THE TOON v MOAN U *** SUNDAY AFTERNOOON!

Posted 'high noon bells' Saturday 12th April 2025

GEORDIE TIMES HQ 

(NOTE THE FRONT DOOR!)

We play the forst of wor last 8 games---and 3 in 6 days when NUFC take on Moan U at SJP tomorrow afternooon!----And then its Palliss at SJP on Wedinzday and Villa away next Saturday!

IF? we can take 7 points oot of the 9 available, this would jump us up to at least 4th in the Premyaa Leegue table!

Steady Eddie haz been ill in bed for a few days but hopefully he will be back in the dugoot come Sunday!?

Anthony Gordon iz set to retorn after suspension and injury and will feature at some point, which should be the anly change from the team that beat Lestaa last Munday! (But will Harvey Barnes make way for him?)

After Onana's dreadful performance in the Moan U goal at Lyon on Thorzday, which ended 2-2 (because of 2 horrendous misstayks by him!), wor visitors will be very nervous come kick off time, especially if Onana izn't dropped! (Pleeeze play him Amorim!)

Whereaz, The Toon have a great chance to qualify for the Champions Leegue next season, Moan Us anly chance iz if they win the Europa Cup!

Az they cannit finish anywhere near any of the European places on Leegue form, then surely they will play a weakened team against us, for fear of injuries when the play the 2nd leg v Lyon at The Theatre of Muppets next Thorzday?

UPDATED '10:40pm bells'

EDDIE HOWE 

“Get well soon Eddie, from aall Toon fans!”🙏🏻

UPDATED 'MIDNEET BELLS'

Results on Saturday mean that should we beat Moan U on Sunday afternooon, NUFC will climb to 4th in the Premyaa Leegue table!---We understand that Jason Tindall will take charge in light of Eddie Howe's absence!----Hopefully he will be back in the dugoot on Wedinzday neet against Palliss!

If we win wor game in hand v Palliss on Wedinzday az well, we will owertake 3rd placed Forest, who lost at home to Evaatin!

The Toon must be 100% comitted in both games to achieve this!

Fingers (and toes!) crossed!

A full Geordie Times match report on the Moan U game will appear here sometime on Munday!

And talkin aboot Munday--'The NUFC mad-sad groundhoppers' will be on wor travels to east Manchester when NUFC U21s play Man City U21s at their Joie Academy Stadium at '7:00pm bells'----A groond we have never been tee before, which iz within 'hocklin distance' from The Ethiad Stadium!

Chelseee'z 3-0 away win against Legia Warsaw last neet, meenz that they are virtually certain to gan through to the semi finals of 'The Conference Leegue', with the 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge next Thorzday, seemingly a mere formality!?

This meenz that wor Premyaa Leegue game against them iz 99.9% certain to take place on Sunday 11th May, with an absolutleee ridiculous 'high noon bells' kick off!!!----On a Sunday???

'The Geordie Times' haz been lookin at wor kick off times this season and believe it or not? we will have had 14 (FOURTEEN!) different kick off times (at least!), come the end of the season! (grovellin apologeeez if we've missed any oot!?)

This iz excellent news for aall at NUFC az we sit in 5th place at the moment WITH a game in hand ower the rest—-and could possibly finish 3rd if aall the results gan wor way from now til the end of the season!

There are 8 ‘cup finals’ to gan before the season concludes at the end of May! 🙏🏻 

THE BASIL BRUSH BRIGADE OF LESTAA 0. THE TOON 3 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2024-2025

 Posted ‘high noon🔔 bells’ Tuezday 8th April 2025

TOON IN THE AALL WHITE STRIP!

“RUUD AWAKENING”

Yid fink that somebody who starred for Moan U in their glory days under ‘Fergy’, that Ruud Van Nistelrooy would be a canny manager, but just like Moan Us former stars like Rooney and Brucey, he iz a complete failure!

A new Futbaall Leegue record stretching back to 1888, woz the unwanted record for Ruud after this game, with 8 consecutive home defeats and nee goals scored! (Some record!)

It took The Toon just 2minutes to open the scorin when Tino Livramento fired in a cross and Jacob Murphy woz on hand to toe poke the baall into the net at the far end from where the 3,300 Toon fans were housed! 1-0 to us!

It took just another 9 minutes to double wor lead when Fabian Schar spotted the Lestaa goalie way off the goal line  he hit a great shot from the halfway line which hit the bar!

It rebounded to Murphy and he said ‘thankyou very much’ az he placed the baall into the corner of the goal az the Lestaa goalie scrambled to get back to the goal line! 2-0 to us! (and 2 goals for Jacob!)

The 3rd —-and wot torned oot to be the last goal of the game came in the 33rd minute when a Joelinton shot rebounded to Harvey Barnes and he hit a sweet shot into the net from inside the box! 3-0 to us!

This prompted 100s of disgruntled home fans to heed for the exits az large gaps started to appear in the blue seats!

We could have had many more bofore the HT interval, but couldn’t find the net again!  HT 3-0 to us!

The 2nd half woz a bit different az both teams kept giving the baall to each other, so this half woz one to forget!  We did have more chances to increase wor lead,(az did Lestaa to score, with loads of corners!) but the game petered oot az the Basil Brush Brigade’s fans steadily made for the exits az the half progressed!

FT 3-0 to us!

The win lifted us up to 5th place above Man City and level on points with Chelseee in 4th, but with a slightly worse goal difference—plus we have a game in hand!

8 ‘cup finals’ to gan in wor quest for a Champuons Leegue place!

It should be noted that one of The Toon fans who shall remain nameless caalled Russ, told us in The Regent Club in Lestaa, that Alexander Isak haddint travelled doon on the team bus!

But when the team line ups came through on wor phones, there woz Isak in the startin 11!

There woz outrage amongst the NUFC fans in the club for this ‘scare-mongerin’ and we make nee apology for shamin this ‘clown’ in The Geordie Times, when he woz ordered to stand in front of The Naughty Corner in the club az punishment!

Attendance: 30,403 (3,300 happy Toon fans! (The attendance must have included Lestaa ST holders who didn’t torn up!)
