Ayatollah Hermione 12895 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Probably Coloccini trying an overhead kick and breaking his back last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 20140 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Probably Coloccini trying an overhead kick and breaking his back last season. Throwing away the 12 point lead for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39164 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 At the Millenium Stadium , in the semis against ManU. We all knew we were going to get turned over, everyone there had a " fuck it, let's show them how to do it" head on. Both inside and outside the stadium we were outstanding, I only hope that when we do eventually win something, we can behave in a similar manner.

Happy Face 29 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Was gonna say the same as MF but was leaving work. I didn't make either of the finals so can't vouch for the atmosphere at either personally. But we put the man u fans to shame in that semi.

JonTheMag 4 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Newcastle 4 - 4 Arsenal. The topsy-turviness of our seasons in 90 minutes. Shambolic defending, incredible passion, and ultimately a so-so result after the dust settles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 My heartbeat rate nearly going off the charts. Would love us to have a match that I can stay calm in as we coast through 90 minutes. As opposed to barely being able to look for the last 10 or so minutes of a match.

Howmanheyman 27516 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 A drunken Geordie trying to shout praise to Nicos Papavassolou but giving up after two aborted attempts at pronouncing his name. Also getting beat virtually every time we took over 7,000 fans away. Glorious failure or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostile_statue 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Not a player, or a manager, what sums up Newcastle United for you? Why not a player? Gazza perfectly personifies Newcastle United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Whitehurst 795 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Glorious failure with the occasional moment of hope. We've been pretty much dreadful for the entire 30 years I've supported us but moments like last Saturday make it all worthwhile. Fuck knows how I'd feel if we ever won anything meaningful but it's the (albeit blind) hope that keeps me going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Glorious failure with the occasional moment of hope. We've been pretty much dreadful for the entire 30 years I've supported us but moments like last Saturday make it all worthwhile. Fuck knows how I'd feel if we ever won anything meaningful but it's the (albeit blind) hope that keeps me going. Sometimes I think that if we ever won anything, all these moments of occasional glory (like the one you mentioned) would be less special - like, we might develop an expectation that since we've won something, we should be looking to win something else. With that said, that first major trophy we win (in a lot of people's living memory anyway) will be something pretty awesome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27516 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Great pic of the old West Stand, (if you look carefully you can see Noelie parking his car where the old ticket office was yet to be built.) < 'Do you ken Hughie Gallacher, the wee Sots lad, the best centre forward, Newcastle ever had?' < '.......And here's to Bobby Moncur, the Fairs cup in his hand.......'
