    I gave up after the first few paragraphs, it was sounding like a Mills & Boon novel.

    My “kid” was 18…. but the impact on him was just beautiful. Personally, I think it IS just Newcastle - no argument in favour of my proposition, just my pure unashamed arrogance <laugh>

    That had the hackles rising on the back of my neck. I am sincerely jealous of home-bred/family bred fans; you’ve a lot less explaining and justifying to do. Having Reading as one of the alternative options only makes the case stronger.

    I’ve seen more Cole goals (in black and white) than any other striker…. mainly courtesy of West Ham games.

    “My first game was a 4-1 win over Wolves in 1970 on a Wednesday night in the Milburn paddock in the pouring rain. Got soaked but loved it.”
    I honestly thought that was heading towards “I played for the toon in the 70s”

    the Hunters Bus sounds a bit Walking Dead; don’t spoil that!

    “Started in 1991 when Ardiles was sacked and Keegan took over in division 2. Which then became division 1.”

    that’s probably about the time I properly ‘came out’ down here

    Fought those bloody Romans till their eyes bled :bandit:<ale>
    Brilliant post - other than the bullying of Peter, my favourite and the player I sought to emulate on the Sat/Sun parks (tough from right back or the bench)

    Yeah! I’ve been quietly doing that maths as well…. Age-wise, I thought everyone was straight out of season 7 of Friends

    The next stop on this journey is this sides train crash over the next 4 or 5 weeks.
