Sung to the tune of Blaydon Races
They all went down to Birmingham
On the 24th of May
Hoping God would smile on them
Upon the Sabbath day
Proud as punch in stripey shirts
Cream of the Geordie nation
Ganning along to Villa Park
To see the relegation
Chorus:
Oh me lads, you should've seen them crying
Watching the shambles on the pitch
Premier dreams a'dying
All the lads and lasses there
All had gloomy faces
Ganning doon to the Championship
With aal of Shearer's aces
Now way back in September
They told a different tale
Old King Kev was back in charge
How could the buggers fail?
But then along came Dennis Wise
Who dared to travel norf
Kevin didn't like the tw*t
And quickly buggered orf!
Oh me lads! I think they need a genie
Owen unfit, Xisco's sh*t and what of Collocini?
Given was a great keeper but left the sinking ship
And Harper will be canny good
Doon in the Championship
Now after Keegan scarpered
They all cried in their beer
But fear not, up next they got good old Joe Kinnear
He fecking came and fecking got the tw*ts to play their best
Then who'd a fecking thought it, fecking cardiac arrest
Oh me lads, the bugger’s in the Freeman
Ashley's scared to watch a game
The fans are all a steamin'
And I will not apologise for nasty tasteless quips
It'll do the buggers good to be doon in the championship
With poor Joe confined to bed
For his recuperation
They wondered who could be the man
To save the 'Geordie Nation'
Who could turn this team around
Before they turned to violence?
Hughton got the nod and came out
To the sound of silence
Oh me lads!I'm ganna chuck me seat
The mackems beat us at their place
And now we've had to cheat
Then aal the toon went on the hoy
And got themselves all plastered
And raised a glass to Taylor who’s
A cheating diving b*stard!
Ashley looked around and saw the damage that they’d done
He’d lost a couple of hundred mill
For every game they’d won
He sank another pint in one
And had a revelationMary Poppins is the one
To save the Geordie Nation
Oh me lads!The Toon are aal but dead
Obafemi’s injured (or at least that’s what he said)
Ah can’t believe with Alan boss
We haven’t got much higher
Or is he just like Keegan
Just another false messiah
Oh me lads!The Toon are in the clarts
No more trips to Anfield
Now it’s off to foreign parts
Tell aal the cheeky mackems
That this story isn’t over
Follow the Toon Army AND……
We’ll watch Doncaster Rovers

Steve Bruce Takes Charge
Steve Bruce has returned to his native north-east as manager of Sunderland, leaving Wigan Athletic to search for a replacement.Bruce, 48, who supported Sunderland's arch-rivals Newcastle United as a boy, has signed a three-year contract, the club said.He takes over from interim coach Ricky Sbragia, who stood down at the end of the season after replacing Roy Keane during a campaign in which Sunderland only escaped relegation on the final day.Bruce, who spent the bulk of his playing career at Manchester United, has managed Sheffield United, Huddersfield Town, Wigan twice, Crystal Palace and Birmingham City since retiring as a player in 1999.He guided Wigan to 11th place this season, while Sunderland finished two places above the relegation zone in 16th.His appointment was the first significant change for Sunderland since American businessman Ellis Short assumed complete control of the club in May.
"It's the perfect time, I've worked 10 or 11 years in management for an opportunity at a club like this one," Bruce told a televised news conference at Sunderland's academy."You are always looking for a big challenge and to take the next step and this is the perfect step for me and I can't wait to get started."This is what I've always wanted. A big club with a big challenge and a huge ambition and it's up to me know to put a team on the pitch to take the club forward."
Chairman Niall Quinn said: "He's going to bring a vital ingredient that I think has been missing at our club and that's a mentality and a strength that will drive us to where we need to be."He knows all too well what football means to this region. Throughout his playing and managerial career he epitomised what it means to be a football person from the north-east and I look forward to our club representing those values on the pitch."If we can get the steel into our dressing room that Steve brings I think it will bring rewards for our club."
Sunderland paid Wigan an undisclosed amount in compensation for Bruce's services and both clubs praised each other for the honourable way in which the deal was done."Niall is a perfect gentleman. I believe in football and in life if someone wants to work with you that's fine, but if they want to work for someone else, you have to respect that," Wigan owner Dave Whelan said.-Reuters

Thanks Roy!
Was it such a shock, well it was becoming quite evident there was trouble in the camp, perhaps roys management style, who knows, but no one can say that roy change our club for the good, the attitude and greater respect we get from the prem.
I dont want to dwell, just to say thanks roy, you set the foundations, and the next manager will have a good chunk of the dirty work done by roy.
now, who is it????

Bolton, now i have mulled it over
As i say below, i am a positive man, and remain pos, and ask myself questions after this bad beat, are we a better side than last year?, well yes, where are are weaknesses, needa center half, an a bit of a run for confidence, and sometin not mentioned is the 1st team squad numbers, tooooo big, can cause unrest amongst players not gettin a game, healey, bardsley, tiano, chops etc, squad rotation can work as long as u dont have to many players me thinks!
Is roy the man 4 the job? well who else would u put in? so to me, he is still the man, but he needs to sign his contract, loyalty cuts both ways.
so what now, man u away, no chance, but we have 3 games after that to put things right, wba, hull, and blackburn, perhaps our season, and roys fate will be decided after these games, in my opinion lets not throw the baby out with the bath water like the other lot down the road.
Keep the faith

A summery before bolton
Well, as a positive guy, i looked through our results since we spanked the scum, so here is my simple assesment.
Stokies 0-1
As the wife is a stokie, i have to be carefull!, but not a nice place to go, cold, windy, and full of clayheads! we should have hada point there, we where not up for the enevitable fight, but we have the quality to get sometin from the likes of stoke, wind or no wind! perhaps the cold etc is not for our non english players? my score 0-0
Sumit to watch out for!

Chelsea 0-5
No even gona go here, dissapointed with the 5, my opinion if it was my team, i would go 4-3-3 and be happy with them scorin 5, long as we havea a right go at them, can never understand, especialy 2nd half why teams dont have a right go at the top 4, crowd dont expect a win, but expect our team to show some balls. my score 5-4!!! lol
A sample to beat the geordie dancer!

Pompey 1-2
In all honesty, i believe we played well against a small club come good, top players, and becoming a consistent top 6 side, we played some good stuff, and again, our back 4 weaknesses are shown up against the better sides. my score 1-1
Blackburn 1-2 cup
If the chance to play some of our younger players, and try a few different things gives roy more options, the defeat would have been worth it, but as a 70s guy, cup games where for winning, no argument! my score 3-0
Blackburn 2-1
Direct, strong, simple, and with balls, thats more like it, as weeks go on, i dont feel we are a bad side, just lackin a bit of concentration, and confidence, pleased with this one, to be honest, fancied a draw here!!! my score 1-1
West ham 0-1
I know we are called the black cats, but wheres our luck eh!, and is it me, or are we havin the rough end of refs decisions, and why is it you always seam to loose more games you should have won, rather than the other way round!!! but still playin at times some good stuff, just have to be more consistant, , and my mates a north londoner!! bugga. my score 4-0
So bein honest, we play some good stuff , better than last year, not consistant enough, we need a run to boost belief n confidence, a bita luck, and perhaps a centre half, sorry noz dont do it for me.
