I love your reason for going to Wembley, cos its a penance watching England. I went with my RL team in 71 and to a CS game mid 80s where Dips were playing- my bf at time was a Dip - sensibly I didn't marry him.
Every time we win a trophy and particularly the PL I NEVER take it for granted and always think well if it is the last time in my lifetime I will pass happily.
one of my sons mates is a mid 30s Newcastle supporter. I was absolutely made up for him the other week. Years ago I asked him why Newcastle and not the usual red shirt shytee either end of East Lancs Rd. Said he was a Toon because his grandad was a Geordie and as his mum was a single parent thru were his team. Total respect to him, cos a youngster he suffered like I had done in the previous decades. Once a team is in your dna that's it. I will ignore Sly fawning over them - I know we never get that respect, but at least a decent team other than red shirted shytte are getting some coverage.
Well done Newcastle, the domestic quad was not for everyone. Ha ha.
Haha
I have a few mates who are proper rags and a couple who are dippers.
All go home and away Europe etc.
When I was a kid and they used to talk about winning the league.
Or the European cup I couldn't imagine I'd see city do it one day.
My rag mates when they won the treble said that's it.
There's nothing to achieve after this.
I thought what the fuck are you on about.
Surely there always has to be something better.
But no..after we won the treble.
And then 4 in a row.
I know now that's it.
That's the Pinnacle.
But I do point out to the rags .
They won the treble.
We matched it..but we went one better.
4 in a row they'll never do that.
Mind you they'll never even win the league again.
Never mind 4 in a fucking row
