Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER

I saw the club Twitter account put out a graphic yesterday celebrating the club being 129 years old. Someone pointed out in the comments that the club is actually 140 years old. There's a misconception that Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End merged in 1892, but actually West End went bust and East End just changed their name to try and lure fans of the other club. 
 

Seems strange that the club choose to do themselves out of 11 years of history!?

23 minutes of back to back belters. This must be what it's like when Dr Gloom is on the decks. 

 

Basically a three horse race between HBA, Robert and Shearer.

Genuinely my favourite out of all of them was Solano with the outside of his boot. The cheekiest of cheeky fuckers. 

I like Shola's consolation one where it bobbles off his shin past the Man Utd 'keeper.

 

Definitely stands up against Robert's volleys, Shearer's blasties or Berdsley's shimmies.

I had NUFC stuff as a kid with 1882 on it and the only time 1892 became a thing was around 1992 when the club, on the bones of it's arse, decided to make a thing of it's 'centenary' and had a pre-season tournament. East End took a couple of West Ends players on as well securing the tenancy of the now vacant SJP but that was it. As far as I'm concerned Stanley/East End is NUFC so we're not 129 years old as that's just the name change anniversary. The best players have always been from the east end. 😉

Forgot to mention for the match goers, I retried the free Wi-Fi I had in the posh seats at the following match in the cheap seats and it worked fine.

They’ll have your hands off if you get caught.

Operation Pasty Clock just stepped up a notch. Give an inch and they always take a mile.

Martins' goal at Spurs :lol:  Remember just thinking 'WTF!!' at the time. Still dont get how he generated that much power from that position.

The Papiss Cisse goal at Chelsea has it all. The build up, the celebration, the ground and the fucked off home supporters, the possible/probable fluke of it and of course just how fucking spectacular it was.

An unreal goal that probably even shouldn’t exist.
