Going against my parents wishes was nothing strange to me, but the day I am about to describe where I did just that definitely set the course of my life.

It’s time for the long awaited second installment of this series looking at Alan Pardew’s role at the club, and if he know what he’s doing? (Hence the title).

The Importance of Being North East Top Dog

Posted January 16th, 2013 by FarmerG | 171 Comments

It’s always intrigued me how individual NUFC fans see their club’s relationship with our eternal rivals down the road. I mean we all chant ‘we hate Sunderland’ on match days but does the rivalry mean different things to fans living where they hardly ever come across the great unwashed such as the North bank of the Tyne or [...]

Posted December 13th, 2012 by workyticket | 53 Comments

“Alan Pardew backed by 95% of fans Chronicle poll reveals” wrote the Chronicle. This staggering revelation would give Toon’s Silver Supremo the same kind of popularity as Kevin Keegan in the heyday of his “Entertainers” side, or Bobby Robson when Newcastle United were once again a top four side who were competing in the Champions [...]
