So much for Spring. Flippin' freezin' today. No doubt the sun will come out later for the match. The sun always shines on the righteous and here in Geordie land there's nobody more righteous than Shearer. The Big Match today Newcastle v Chelsea.
In case you missed it NUFC have gone mad(again)and brought Shearer in to save them, like Sir Trevor Brooking was supposed to do for the Hammers a few years back.
Sir Trev didn't stop West Ham going down and I predict Shearer won't stop Newcastle from going down either.
I hope relegation will bring an end to the madness of the last 15 years of success being just round the corner and how good The Toon are, how passionate the fans are, how important it is for the region etc etc. I blame Sky Sports for indulging this sentimental nonsense. I love living in Newcastle but as a "Cockney" (i.e. anyone from south of Newcastle) any vestiges of feelings for both the Team and a sizeable part of the supporters (i.e.that is a sizeable part of the Toon and surrounding areas) was blown away by the "Cockney Mafia out" banners that started to go round St James Park after Keegan bottled it again and walked off in a huff cos he couldn't get his own way. Even the usually sensible www.nufc.com lost it. For that alone I hope they go down like Leeds and don't come back up for a long long time. You've never won F*ck all
As I'm typing the sun has come out!!
