i know; newcastle defeats are handled in the manner of Macduff being told of the demise of his family in IV iii of the Scottish Play

i think we'll be 8th & nothing dramatic will happen

Basically, if you didn't go during 1990/1991, home & away, you shouldn't be allowed to comment on NUFC's current performance? Fair enough?

Dirty Three tomorrow at Sage 2, then Vic Godard with The Sexual Objects at the Star & shadow on Friday. Thank goodness for music, as football always lets you down.

he does now he's not working at Safeway Cowgate any more

newcastle's support prior Keegan didn't include many stay at home, dull tory fuckpigs who attended special school

you'll notice he's not been sharing his memories of the 90/91 season on the Maritimo thread; i think it speaks volumes about his supporting history. frankly, as Stevie or any of the small number of posters who went to watch us back then, our support didn't include people like CT

Two positives..... 1. We looked far better when Ferguson went off. 2. We didn't lose by 4 or 5 like we did at Fulham, wigan & spurs last year. Be brave; we'll win 2-1 at Stoke on Wednesday

Krul's fault; should have put it out

Michael Owen looks like Aled Jones off to a fancy dress party as Lemmy

And that day I was at Hartlepool 2 Preston 0, though I was at Port Vale a fortnight later for Steve Watson's winner

Gavin Peacock's last minute winner that day was a really joyous moment; october 19th i think. possibly 26th

they were season after; in about 4 days of each other as well..... Liam O'Brien OG & Robert Lee 2 for them i'm sure

honestly - i'm remembering this season as clear as day here; tragic the club never released a video of it, especially as i missed Liam O'Brien's equaliser v West Brom as i was having a piss - also never saw it on Back Page next day

next clean sheet was 1-0 2nd leg win over Crewe & i shut up some whining cunt in Gallowgate wing paddock of Milburn who said it was only against a 4th division side Pav would keep a clean sheet

Right - that was 11th March 89; didn't do that game as mate got married & I was at the do at Lumley Castle when the scores came in

Notts Co was December 29th i think, sandwiched in between Swindon on Boxing Day (1-1) & oldham on NYD (1-1), courtesy of Stimson's insane OG - fucking terrible kick in teeth

we drew 1-1 with West Ham on 22/9; Burridge made an arse of a clearance in front of Gallowgate corner. the Millwall loss was 8/9. Port Vale win was 1/9. We won at blackburn on 15/9 with Liam O'Brien goal after 94 minutes.....

i'm sure it was Wolves; i'll check from Paul Joannou's book when I'm next up in the loft; remember a story about him & Gazza having 13 pints in Walkers on the Thursday before the game. you know that Sheff Wed win was Pav's first clean sheet; also, and I've racked my brains on this, i believe it was the first & probably only time i ever saw Trevor Francis play. Brock cross in off post at Gallowgate.

and Paul Moran deflecting a certain goal from Quinn over the bar from 2 yards out at the Leazes End; as bad as Dillon missing at the same end from almost on the line v Swindon on Boxing Day honestly, the only good home game was the 3-2 win over Oldham after Ardiles was appointed

1990/1991 is the absolute gold medal of shite; far worse than the relegation seasons, as at least they provided a kind of unifying anger the successive 0-0 games v Brighton, Wolves & Bristol City (not sure if that's right order) were the worst games ever. the oxford abandonment & replayed game - "where were you when we were shit?" i was there - twice!!

I didn't say he hadn't been; considering he's on his wrong foot he's done really well

Stevie, appreciate what you're saying; just saying that we could be as rudderless & impotent under Hughton as we've been for the majority of this season. The current problems are all to do with the failure to add to the squad in the summer; Pardew needs to win some games fairly soon to keep dissent quiet & stop January's window being panic stations. Left back, centre half, striker - not rocket science....

Those attempting to rewrite Hughton's tenure at the club may wish to remember the WBA and Bolton away games towards the end of his administration

i'm off now; expect dull low scoring win and 25k crowd
