Only 125 Days Until Christmas

Posted by Luke on September 11, 2006 11:37 AM | 

A Newcastle United supporting friend of mine told me on Friday that Sunderland losing at Derby and Newcastle winning at home to Fulham would be like breaking into a Mackems house and burning down their Christmas tree with all the presents underneath.

I'm not sure what shocked me more. The level of bitterness at the enthusiastic nature of media coverage about Roy Keane's arrival at the Stadium of Light or the reference to Christmas in September.

I've not asked him to provide me with an analogy of how it feels now that Sunderland have won at Derby and Newcastle have lost at home to Fulham. Perhaps it's the equivalent of breaking into a Geordie's house on Christmas Eve, putting plugs in all the sinks and baths and leaving all the taps on!

Extremely annoyed will just about sum it up.

It's going to be a long hard season and I don't expect Glenn Roeder to still be in charge at the end of it. It's not all his fault, but then we all know who is ultimately to blame don't we? The buck has to stop at the top.

It's like having your scalextric confiscated for blowing raspberries at your neighbours and being sent to bed with no tea when it's still light and scorching outside!!
P.S. Did my eyes deceive me or did I see Jonny Wilkinson carried off with yet another new injury scare on Friday night? What was it this time? Broken toe nail? Or perhaps loose boot laces?

Or being slapped in the face by a stale, wet fish!
