Newcastle
Firstly
a note to the very eloquent Jon Howarth – we don’t sing 6-1, we sing “it
should’ve been ten”. Now fuck off.
Good
trip up to the north east in the Savagemobile, with no traffic problems, unlike
on the opposite side of the A1, Sunderland fans (and rags presumably) on their
way to the swamp.
Cold
but crisp in Geordieland and I was directed past the turnstiles to the lift by
a friendly steward who then told us we couldn’t sell KK in the ground!
Morning
news was that Mario is appealing against his two weeks wages fine for
indiscipline last season re his sendings off.
Great
performance from the lads, good saves from Joe and superb attacking. Carlos on
from the start, making Roberto’s lack of judgement in previous games – Chelsea,
Wigan etc look even dafter. So a good result. City fans let off flares and it
always surprises me that folk can get in with flares but not with the
incredibly dangerous fanzines.
Kolarov
is in a bit of trouble re altercations with Newcy fans holding up an Albanian
flag. Not sure what that’s all about – didn’t notice anything at the game. Neil
may have a point with our attack, but it’s the better of the other options
Over
at the Swamp the Sunderland massacre didn’t materialise though we await any
stories of rags attacking Mackems, usually women and kids are their target.
Cleverley, who was responsible for the ‘demolition derby
Job' on Ya Ya Toure (funny, I thought Ya Ya got our first goal) is now the new Bryan
Robson.
Shay
Given was on Goals on Sunday and said that Roberto didn’t speak to him after he
was replaced by Joe Hart. So another question mark against our manager and I understand
that he’s also aloof with our exec fans. Does it matter? Not when things are
going well, but…..
Sunday
night was the Sportsperson of the Year awards, rightly won by Bradley Wiggins,
but included a touching tribute to our title win and an impressive display of
the Poznan by the audience.

Whilst still convinced that the Ferdinand coin wasn't thrown from the City end I think the Newcastle incident was embarassing, pathetic and smacked of United's "We do what we want" mantra.
ReplyDeleteEven more depressing is the number of City fans on other forums who can't see the problem
Sorry guys, I am obviously missing something
ReplyDeletehere. Who is Jon Howarth and what Newcastle incident?
Tony: a City fan threw a smoke bomb into the Newcastle end. Nobody was hurt, but it gave us more bad publicity regardless of whether it was harmless or dangerous.
