Two chances did hit the post over there in the Stadium of Light, (the real one!!) but Benfica showed us how to play two leg competition football. Tomorrow is a big day in the seasons for us and the Mackems. Obviously a win for us will just about ease our relegation worries....but I don't want to see Sunnerland go down.
When I was a lad, my old man said that I could choose whoever I wanted to support...but if I didn't choose Newcastle, then he would disown me! I chose Newcastle anyway and have found out later that he wouldn't disown me....but that he would have killed me if I chose Sunnerland! My lads today show no respect. One supports Arsenal...and the other hates football. Sign of the times I suppose.
Your Dad sounds canny tolerant, mine never even gave me a choice. I think you should be okay for avoiding relegation. Though I would be lying if I said I wouldn't get any enjoyment from seeing Newcastle go down again and even have a sting in League One, I did start at a comprehensive in Durham in 1992. It looks like it's between Sunderland, Stoke, Wigan and Villa for the last relegation spot. It would be funny if Villa were relegated after we sold them Bent and even though I laughed when they took the mickey out of relegating Newcastle it would be karma for them.
