I was watching the game but had left the room.When i returned it was showing the Spuds and for a moment i thought "Oh ****"
There was a split second where the news was filtering in and nobody really knew, but the commentator on soon put it straight 'We're hearing nothing at all from Newcastle about any equaliser. . . ' Cue fits of laughter Spuds = comedy gold
I heard that rumour, that it was Alan Sugar ? Wumming his own fans, maybe revenge for them booting him out As Del boy would say 'What a Plonker'
It was Sugar. He said there was a rumour in the Board room that Newcastle had scored, but he couldn't get a signal to check. Somehow managed to send a tweet reporting the phantom goal despite the lack of signal. With friends like these.....
What actually happened... was nothing at all. Arsenal won a free kick outside the Newcastle area at that precise moment which was cleared and came to nothing. I know this was the case because the commentator that was commentating on the Arsenal game (Martin Tyler, I think) said just then, before the free kick was taken, that there had just been rumours of a Newcastle equaliser in spudland.
Off to visit Cyprus in a couple of weeks. Can you generally flush paper down their bogs or are they dirty savages like the Greek Islanders who make you put it in a bin?
