THE CRYSTAL BALLERS 2 THE TOON 1 *** PREMYAA LEEGUE 2025-2026

Posted from 8:16 pm 🛎️ bells’ onwards on the train back from King’s Cross, Sunday 12th April 2026

“WHERE’S THE CORNER FLAG?”

“NOT! A GOOD TIME TO BE A TOON FAN!”

After a 3 week break, after playin 2 games a week for 4 months, you would have thought NUFC would be rejuvenated, after a much needed rest, but we couldn’t be more wrang!

Yet again we played in wor aaful green away strip, when there woz nee colour clash.?

Az well az wor aaful strip, it woz an aaful game az well, az both teams put in a lack lustre performance! 🎭 

We were marginally the better team in the forst half and we took the lead in the 43rd minute when Wil Osula fired from close range from an excellent Lewis Miley cross!

HT 1-0 to us!

The second period woz az dull az dish waataa, but the turnin point came in the 65th minute when Palace brought on Mateta, who proved to be the game changer!

Just when it looked az though we would hang on for the 3points, Mateta had other ideas and he equalised in the 80th minute with a heeder from a Mitchell centre, that Toon goalie Aaron Ramsdale couldn’t get near! 1-1

But the killer blow came deep into stoppage time, when Sven Botman needlessly grabbed Lerma’s arm in the penalty area and the ref pointed straight to the white spot!

Mateta took it, but Ramsdale woz unable to stop hiz shot az the baall entered the net!  2-1 to them after 90+5minutes!

Bizarrely, Wissa and Elanga were then sent on for the last 2 minutes, but not surprisingly, it woz too little tooo late az the full time whistle blew!

 Havin’ been on the pitch for just 2 minutes, Wissa then swopped shirts with Mateta at the end of the match!— unbelievable!

The dejected Toon fans gave light applause and a few booos to the team, az we made wor way to the exits! FT 2-1 to them!

Amazingleee NUFC have dropped 25 points from winnin positions this season and would be 2nd top , just 3 points below leaders Arsenal IF we could have held on to those leads!

Instead we find worsels in 14th position, with a European place now lookin a lang shot! 🔫

Just how a ‘not so’ ‘Steady Eddie Howe’ can survive this ‘wobble’ iz anybodys guess?🤔

This iz NOT a good time to be a Toon fan, for certain!😵‍💫

Attendance: 25,141 (2,687 p*ssed off Toon fans!)

*Pub crawl pix!⬇️ (6 new ones for this season, plus one we’ve been tee many times (The Barrel Vaults)  Runnin total for this season iz 160 different drinkin dens!

“WE MUST BE BARKING 🐕 MAD!”⬇️

We stopped in a hotel in the Barking district of London the neet before the game and did a mini pub crawl! (Just 4 drinkin dens, includin the Ibis hotel bar)

It took a while to find them!

Little did we naa when we booked wor hotel, but Barking haz the lowest number of drinkin dens oot of the 32 London boroughs---Trust us to pick a hotel there!

DE LOUNGE

IBIS HOTEL BAR, BARKING

Next day we heeded for Norwood Junction station, which iz the nearest to Selhurst Park!  We did 2 boozers and the second one, which we have been tee loads of times on previous visits, charged me £19.80 for 2 pints of IPA!⬇️

Thats £9.90 a pint! (In thin plastic glasses!) The most av ever paid for a pint in the UK—How lang before its ower a tenner in London?

THE CHERRY TREE— A MERE £7 A PINT!

After the match—and to drown wor sorrows, we heeded for a regular haunt at St Pancras next door to King’s Cross!⬇️

A WETHERSPOONS BOOZER £3.60 A PINT!

THE CRYSTAL BALLERS V THE TOON*** SUNDAY AFTERNOOON!

 Posted ‘high noon 🕛 bells 🔔’ Saturday 11th April 2026

 

PALACE V NUFC PROGRAMME 1970

It’s 56 years since The Geordie Times forst visited Selhurst Park in sooth London, to watch The Toon in August 1970, when NUFC lost 1-0!

If I remember rightly, there woz a grass bank at the back part of the Holmesdale Road end, where the double decker stand iz now!  Toon fans were in the opposite open end, where the supermarket iz now!

 There woz nee segregation in those days and you could gan anywhere you like and paid cash at the tornstiles!  Nee paper tickets needed and of course mobile telling bones were a thing of the future!⬇️

It was primitive then and it’s still primitive now, with the shallow rake of the away section, makin it impossible to see the near side corner flag at the Holmesdale Road end, even though I am 6 foot taall!⬇️

VIEW??? FROM THE AWAY SECTION!

*Sven Botman iz still oot, alang with Bruno and Fab Schar, but Lewis Miley iz in contention for a place in the squad!

*(Although we hear 👂 that The Toon are are toyin with the idea of puttin Botman in a mask to protect hiz broken nose! 👃? 

Palace have won just 3 of their 15 home Premyaa Leegue games this season, drawing 7 and losin 5, so this iz a great opportunity to collect the 3 points, to climb the table!  With the possibility of the top 7 qualifying for Europe next season, this iz a great chance to gain some groond! (11 places in Europe are possible IF certain teams win the 4 cups on offer!---highly unlikely!)

Palace beat Fiorentina 3-0 in the first leg of their Conference tie on Thorzday, but the Italians wirnt very good! (Watched it on a ☠️ channel at an unknown address!)

NUFC sit in 12th place in the table, with 42 points, just 4 points behind Brentfaad in 7th

It’s still "aall to play for",  with 7 games left!

And more importantly, just ONE game per week, so that the players (and fans!) can recover from travel sickness! (unlike the previous 4 months, with 2 games per week, every week!)

That’s 6 very winnable games (v Palace, Bournemoooth, Forest, 🌳 West Ham, 🥩, Brighton and Fulham) and one ‘toughie’ at The Arseholes!

"Bring them on!" 🤪👍🏁

* Will dee the match report on the train back from King’s Cross tooneet!

THREE MILLION REASONS TO BELIEVE!

 Posted 'high noon bells'🔔 Thorzday 9th April 2026

“ANY SPARE CHANGE PLEEEZE!?”

The Geordie Times iz gannin from strength to strength, az we have now past the 3 million pageviews landmark!

The month of March woz unprecedented, az we recorded nearly two thirds of a million hits! (663,742) and in one day alone on Friday March 20th we got 84,912 pageviews!

We recorded 2 Millions pageviews on Xmas Eve and 3 million 2 days ago--- 103 days for a million 'hits'   The Geordie Times started in 2010 and it took ower 14 years to get to the forst million mark (5,110 days by wor calculations!) So to dee the latest million in just ower 100 days iz mind bogglin! 

We have aalways said that The Geordie Times iz advort free, but beecoz of the cost of gannin to the away games it haz nearly emptied mee NUFC piggy 🐷🔨 bank!

For example, wor trip to Azerbaijan cost an eye 👁 opening £1,500 coz we had to book up very late, az the direct charter flight from Toon airport to Baku airport woz cancelled at the last minute--- and so we had to make other very costly arrangements to travel to Edinburgh by train, catch a 4 hour flight to Istanbul in Turkey— and then another 3 hour flight to Baku! (and the same way back!) A 6,000 miles roond trip!

And then the visa and hotel price on top, and then add the drinkin den and scran money on top of that! (Had to pay for the visa twice, coz the forst application woz rejected!?😱)

(6 away European games, plus 18 away games in the UK and 4 away U21games)—-And with 4 away games still to gan (3 in London!) it izzint cheap!

Beecoz of wor depleted funds and the fact that European games cost on average £500 per trip (not including the Baku trip) we are gannin to try Google’s ‘Ad Sense’, where adverts are placed into The Geordie Times, to try and rake in in some much needed capital!💰

The Toon divvint have much chance of qualifying for The Champions Leegue this time, but The Europa League and Conference Leegue (God forbid!) are within reach!

The Conference Leegue haz teams from the Welsh Leegue, Andora, Gibralter and places we have never hord of before, from ‘the back of beyond’—Like Qarabag from Azerbaijan for example!  ie: Very expensive indeed! 💰 

Unusually:

DUNSTON 1 BRADFAAD PA 0 (Easter Saturday) *** NEWTON AYCLIFFE 0 DUNSTON 3 (Easter Munday)

 Posted ‘6:00pm bells 🔔 Tuezday 7th April 2026

"WELCOME TO SCOTLAND!---WHEY, NOT EXACTLY!"

“EASTER 🐣 EGG 🥚 STACY!”

Ower the Easter 🐣 weekend we needed wor ‘fix’ az The Toon had a blank weekend, due to wor exit from the FA Cup!

And so we did a Dunston Double Heeder, with their home game in the Northern Premyaa Leegue East Division, on 🐣 Saturday —-and their away game on 🐣 Munday!

Forst up woz their home game v ex Futbaall Leegue side Bradfaad Park Avenue, where a bumper crowd of 421 torned up at the groond! (Bumper, az it woz nearly 200 more than wot they normally get!) (30 or so Park Avenue-ites!) The game woz really a play off 6 pointer with Bradfaad just one point behind Dunston, in the last play off place!

If it wasn’t for the Dunston’s ‘larger than life’  goalie, Dan Lowson, who made some brilliant saves in the forst half, it could easily have been 4-0 to ‘The Park Avenue-ites’ at HT, az they were well on top!

The Bad Blue Boys of Dunston played much better in the 2nd period and just when we we thought that the game would end goal-less, up stepped Dunston’s Sado to fire 🔥⚽️ home from inside the penalty area in the 88th minute,  to send the vast majority of the 400 plus crowd into Easter egg🥚stacy ! (sic!)

That’s the way it ended and the result meeenz that Dunston moved 4 points clear of Bradfaad in the race for a last play off place, to reach The Northern Premyaa Leegue Premyaa Division next season!

"SCOTLAND!--SCOTLAND!--HERE WE COME!"

2 days after this and we were on wor travels to Newton Aycliffe in Coonty Durham, 30 miles south of  Dunston on 'The Tyne', on the supporters bus, for Dunston’s Easter Munday fixture at The Ashcourt Stadium! (3rd visit to this groond!)

33 had travelled doon on the bus, (16 ‘Dunston Ultras’ (teenagers!) at the back and ‘The Oldies’ (like me!), at the front, includin the driver!), plus others on the team bus and in jam jars (aboot 75 Bad Blue Boys (and girls) in total, includin the Dunston committee!)

We arrived at the clubhoose at 11:20am bells’ 🔔 to find oot that it wasn’t open til ‘high noon 🕛 bells’ (An absolute disgrace!) SO we had nee choice but to heed for the nearest boozer, which woz a 10 minute walk away across a duel carriageway! 

It woz caalled Gretna Green and az usual ah sent a Whatsapp message to wor lass, to tell her where I woz!

“I’m in Gretna Green!” I told her!

"Wot are you doin' in Scotland?"---I'm confused?" she replied (The forst town across the England/Scotland border)

"So your in Scotland, don't understand?" she went on!

"It's a PUB caalled Gretna Green in Newton Aycliffe!" I told her, and sent a picture of the boozer!

"Aarrr right-- I havvint got mee glasses on!" she replied!

Anyway, enough of that!---we heeded back to the clubhoose (In ENGLAND!) which woz now open and then onwards to the match, after somemore 'liquid lubrications'! (hic!)

We entered the tornstiles at the groond and within 2 minutes of the ‘1:00 bells 🔔 kick off, Dunston took the lead, when David Robinson rolled the baall across the six yard box and it trickled ower the line and into the net! 1-0 to Dunston!

The visitors were well on top and it woz soon 2-0 when a penalty woz awarded in the 32nd minute for a bad foul in the box!

David Robinson took it to double their lead! (See video at the start of this report!)

DAVID ROBINSON'S PENALTY!

Bang on half time another penalty woz awarded at the opposite end, this time to Aycliffe after Harvey Neary fouled an Aycliffe attacker, who woz clean through on goal!  Not anly woz a penalty awarded, but the Dunston man got a red card az well!

Divvint naa who took it?, but Dunston goalie Dan Lowson guessed the reet way and saved the shot!

The Dunston hero from Saturday (see Bradfaad report above) woz the hero once again! HT 2-0 to The Bad Blue Boys in RED!⬇️

Against 10 men, Newton Aycliffe were again 2nd best in the 2nd half and the away side forthaa increased their lead, when David Robinson completed hiz hat-trick, to put the game to bed🛏 in the 82nd minute! 3-0 to Dunston final score!

Attendance: 345 (75 or so from Dunston, az mentioned!👏) 

News woz awaited from Bradfaad PA, who, if they’d lost, would have been 7 points adrift!

However! they had won by 8 lucky goals to nil against Brighoose, to boost their goal difference and keep the pressure on, with 3 games to play!

Unfortunately I will miss them aall,  az their fixtures clash with NUFC games, which must take priority, I'm afraid!

Hopefully IF they make the playoffs, wor games won’t clash!?

54th ANNIVERSARY TODAY!---"APRIL FOOL!---THE JUDGE IZ A GEORDIE!"

Posted '6:00am bells' April Fools Day 2026

BRAMALL LANE AS IT LOOKED IN 1972

On 'April Fools Day' 54 years ago, NUFC visited Bramall Lane in 'The Battle Of Sheffield 1972'
And a report from that day, which starred Toon fan 'Daft Tommy', iz reprinted below in the Geordie Times archive! (ground number 022)

PS: Sadly, 'Daft Tommy' iz nee langer with us! 

RIP Tommy

022 bramall lane sheffield

(GROUND NUMBER 22)
Date of First Visit: APRIL FOOLS DAY! 1972
BRAMALL LANE, SHEFFIELD

SHEFFIELD UNITED 1
NEWCASTLE UNITED 0

(OLD) DIVISION ONE
ATTENDANCE: 28,103 (4,000 Toon fans)





Part One:
"APRIL FOOL!---THE JUDGE IZ A GEORDIE!"

The forst thing that springs to mind aboot this place, is!---- 'The Crystal Rooms', which was (and probably still is) a 'One Armed Bandit' arcade in the centre of Sheffield, as this is where the Toon and the Sheff. 'U' radgies had massive fights in 1972, before and after the match!

Hundreds had travelled doon on the train and many of the 'Leazes End Boot Boys' had simply 'come for a fight', dressed in their 'Prince of Wales' suits, slack braces and the obligatory 'Doc Marten Boots' ---and they were'nt to be disappointed!




As soon as they got off the train they made for the main drinkin' area and marched doon the middle of the road shoutin', "Your' gonna get your' f*****' heads kicked in!" as they made for where they knew the Sheffield 'crew' would be.---and sure enough, they were!---and ready for a 'go' as well!



Before lang, runnin' battles doon the streets between the rival fans ensued with innocent shoppers gettin' caught up in the middle as bottles, bricks and plant pots nicked from a gardenin' shop were hurled (still with the plants inside!) as fans fought each other.




'The Sheffield Dibble' torned up with several 'meat wagons' and 'The Flyin' Squad' collered anybody who looked remotely like a skinheed. (not me, aa hasten to add!—as mee hair was doon mee back at that time!---'Led Zeppelin style'!)


Dustbins and litter bins were hoyed through the plate glass windows by the Newcastle 'nutters', and there were runnin' battles through the streets!




This sent the fans of both sides scatterin' and after a few 'Arthur Scargills' in a sleazy dive we foond, it was time to gan to Bramall Lane. The Toon fans had infiltrated the 'Shoreham End', which was the Sheffield skinheed's 'hard end' at the time, and sporadic fightin' broke oot between the rival fans.


Some of the more sensible Toon fans (alas---not me!) who'd went in the opposite end, were gettin' slagged off by the 'Shoreham Invaders' for 'chickenin' oot' of the 'pagger'.
Aa of course, went with the 'radgie gadgies', (like a lamb to the slaughter!) (bravado---or what?) and stood at the back of the stand with mee black 'n' white scarf on, thinkin' that aat any minute aa would get mee 'heed caved in' as it soon became obvious that we were ootnumbered by wor Sheffield counterparts by aboot fower tih one!




And before lang it 'kicked off'---NOT! the match you understand!, but the fightin' as the 'brave' ootnumbered 'Leazes Enders' charged into the middle of the Shoreham End! (they did have their 'reputations' to think aboot!) led by 'one' 'Doddsy' in his 'trademark' white 'butchers coat' complete with a huge Doc Marten boot crudely drawn in felt tip pen on the back, with: 'LEAZES END BOOT BOYS', written above it! (he has been mentioned before!)

Loads of Toon and 'Blades' fans got 'lifted' by the Yorkshire 'Dibbles', so aa kept mee heed doon, as ah did'nt fancy bed 'n' breakfast in the 'Dibble Savoy'! (or worse still!—'The Sheffield Royal Infirmary'!)




As the 'propa' match kicked off, there was still 'beadlem' in front of iz, and it was hard to concentrate on the action on the field, instead of the 'action' on the terraces!.

Bramall Lane was a three sided groond back then, with a cricket pitch on the far side, and this totally killed the atmosphere. (Just how the fans on that side could see, withoot a pair of binoculars---is beyond me!)

The Toon were by far the better team that day, with John Tudor and 'Supermac' gannin close on several occasions.

Tony Green and Tommy Gibb had blinders,---BUT!,---it was tih nee avail, and Sheffield took the points with just fower minutes tih gan, when Ford (who'd just came on as a late sub) beat Toon keeper Willie McFaul, with his forst touch off the baall! (which was aalso 'The Blades' forst shot of the game!)

Newcastle manager, 'Smokin' Joe Harvey, (who could'nt believe that wi'd lost!) summed it up after the match, when he said:

"IT'S NOT APRIL FOOLS DAY?---IS IT"???"WELL!----ACTUALLY!!-----JOE!!!"








Part Two:-----(A few weeks later!)




♫OH!-MEE LADS-YIH SHOULD'IV SEEN US GANNIN!♫

scene from The Blaydon Races 1862

One Toon fan who'd been arrested after the match at 'The Crystal Rooms', was a lad caalled 'Daft Tommy', who's, name implies—IS!----as 'Daft as a Brush'!, but tih be honest would'nt (and could'nt) harm a fly or punch hiz way oot of a paper bag!.

Tommy had been caught up in 'The battle of Sheffield' after the match and was nicked and charged with bein' 'drunk and dizzy', which is an offence that yih can plead guilty tee, by letter.






Quite a few had been charged with more serious offences like GBH and affray and HAD to appear personally in court. So!---on the day of the court cases a few weeks after the match, the train was 'chocker' with fans travellin' doon tih Sheffield on charges of affray and 'god naa's what'!.

Then---aall of a sudden, 'Daft Tommy' appeared and jumped on the train. The other Toon fans just stared at him, coz they could'nt work oot what he was deein there!?.






"A THOUGHT YIH WERE PLEADIN' GUILTY BY LETTER, TOMMY?", one fan asked him, with a puzzled look on his face!.

"I AM!", said Tommy, "A'V GOT THE LETTER IN MEE POCKET!!!", he said az he pulled the 'said' letter from hiz 'nanny goat'!

("There's nee answer tih that one!??-------
IS THERE"!???)



"
On their arrival in Sheffield, they heeded straight for the court hoose, where one joker said:
"THE JUDGE IS A GEORDIE, TOMMY!---IF YIH SING THE 'BLAYDON RACES' TO HIM WHEN YIH GAN IN THE DOCK, HE'LL LET YIH OFF!".

SO!---'Daft Tommy' gave the judge a rendition of the 'Geordie National Anthem'-----------
AND GOT FINED 300 quid! FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT!!! (A considerable sum in 1972!)

(There's DEFINITELY! nee answer tih THAT ONE!?????)





Footnote:
Tommy's 'claim tih fame', is that he used tih stand on one of the concrete crash barriers in the middle of the aad 'Gallowgate End', and give the crowd a rendition of the early 'sixties classic', 'LITTLE WHITE BULL!'

Average Premyaa Leegue gates were ower 52,100 makin SJPs occupancy 99.9% It would be 100% but teams like Bournemoooth and Brentfaad fail to sell their away allocations every season!

Still nee news of the new stadium or trainin groond, but we wait with patiently with baited breath!

More on this to follow later!⬇️
