Weekend was a bit shot, then Newcastle sorted me back on track.

Jimmy Nail, Sting, Wor Cheryl, Robson Green, Chloe Ferry, Sam Fender…your boys took one hell of a beating.

I had to google who chloe ferry was. Not sure we can claim her as one of ours, she looks like she's literally a "plastic" fan.

Murphy there's a player we can sell to a **** club hopefully . today came a year too soon I feel..68 years was never long enough when you see Murphys and Ritchies coming on to save you.
 
Annoying is our specialty... we'll be annoying you more in the future.

We're a club after my own heart now that's for sure.

True.

It's been really bad at times.

Seen 6 games this year.

Won 3, drawn 2, lost 1.

Last two I've watched have been wins since we changed manager.

Late December under Cowley's was diabolical.

Losing 2-0 at home to MK Dons was a bitter evening!

Is there any reason to say domestic trophies? Have the toon won any internationally?

That's up for debate. We won the Fairs Cup in '69 and it was originally deemed by UEFA to be an equivalence to the UEFA cup, then they (or FIFA) downranked it as it wasn't open entry through qualification (you qualified if your city had had an international fair or some such bonkers). As such some count it (obviously ALL Newcastle fans) and some don't.

I'm not overly bothered as it was all years before I was born but do find it humorous how high-horsed people can get given half the European entries for cups back then were tinpot clubs presided over by bribed officials.

Anyway, you asked so there you go.

Ah yeh the Fairs Cup. I did wonder why they'd made the point of saying 'domestic'
