Toon got no balls.....Load of bollocks! Thursday, April 08, 2010 by Daily Sport . CRACK open the brown ale and wheel out the pork pies – the Toon Army are back in town! Hats off and bellies out for Chris Hughton’s lads – back in the Premier League with six games to go. I must admit, they proved me wrong. Way back in the pre-season Darlington played a friendly against Newcastle and we lost 7-2. The two Darlo goals were scored by yours truly and I remember thinking Newcastle didn’t have the bollocks for a season-long scrap, no way are they going back up. It wasn’t only because they let a pensioner like me stick two past them. No, I was convinced that when it came to the long hard slog of the Championship that some of the foreign stars would be found wanting. I thought when it came to a p*ssing wet Tuesday night in Doncaster they would disappear faster than a plate of biscuits at a Weight Watchers meeting. How wrong I was. Players like Coloccini and Gutierrez not only stepped up to the plate, they took the team by the scruff of the neck and led them like lions, week in and week out. Pie Time for Deano to eat humble pie. It doesn’t taste too bitter though, ‘cos I’m made up for all the players – especially lads like Andy Carroll who has really grabbed his chance to shine for his home-town team. Massive salutes all round. I’m glad for Chris Hughton as well. After all the f***ing about at Newcastle, Chris deserves his day in the sun. Alan Shearer leaving was yet another blow for the Toon Army, another fan’s favourite on his peddler, and Chris had a big gap to fill. He was a great player and he deserves a crack at the top-flight after playing second fiddle for so long. I only hope fans give him enough time to find his feet in the Premier League and don’t start getting on his back if they have a bad start. And I hope the Newcastle board resist the temptation to get some high-flying fancy Dan in now that they’re back in the big time. Let Chris go about his work and let him have a decent go at it. What Newcastle need now is continuity – because that to me seems to have bee one of the big problems at the club in recent years. Too many gaffers and not enough grafters. Now is not the time for twitching arseholes. Now is the time to renew Chris’s contract and show a bit of solidarity. Like George Michael said ‘You’ve got to have faith’. Mind you, he also said ‘It’s mine and I’ll shake it as fast as I like’ to an undercover copper, so he’s probably not the best person to quote. If Newcastle can keep hold of their star larkers and cherry pick a few off the teams who pass them on the stairs then they will be fine. I would imagine a few will jumpship from Portsmouth, Burnley, and whoever else goes down (I daren’t think who that could be...).   While the Geordies were practising the conga at Sid James Park, the rest of England were sh*tting themselves when Wayne Rooney hobbled off in Munich. Like I said last week, Chelsea winning the match at Old Trafford doesn’t mean they’re nailed on for the title and my money is on Rooney coming back quicker than expected. A little birdie told me that he’s running on a treadmill and that big plastic boot he’s wearing is just an elaborate ploy to lull everyone into a false sense of security. Wayne’s a fit young lad, a proper scrapper whose physical strength is more than matched by his mental toughness. I bet when the cameras have all gone home he takes that plastic boot off and dances round the training ground like Fred Astaire!   Someone who wasn’t dancing for joy last week was Steven Gerrard. Did you see his face when Benitez took Torres off? He looked like a kid who’d had his balloon snatched off him. Can’t say I blame him, like. What’s going on in Benitez’s head? You don’t take your best player off when there’s 25 minutes to go and you’re drawing 1-1. Especially when you’ve only got two top players! It was like watching a drowning man refusing a lifeboat. Benitez reckons he was wrapping Torres up in cotton wool, but you’ve got to question the logic. Torres is only a young lad, it’s not like he's got f***ing arthritis is it? It’s not like playing 25 minutes is gonna put him in an oxygen tent. All is not well in Liverpool. Maybe the Geordies can cheer them up next season Bookmark & Share Print this article  Email to a friend  Facebook      Related Articles There are no related articles.
