It has taken me a few days
To lift my chin off the floor
After a must win home fixture
In which we just scraped a draw.
Give us your backing
Alan Shearer implored
Then his overpaid strikers
Missed ‘sitters’ any […]

I’m feeling quite shattered
And suffering much pain
I’ts a long journey home
From Spurs and the Lane.
I have seen the league table
And It makes for grim reading
We are all sick of excuses
And It’s points we are […]

Six games left and we are still in the mire
Our so called superstars clearly lacking desire
Out fought and out muscled
By the Potters from Stoke
Premiership new boy’s with hearts made of oak
The on comes young […]

The ‘Strawberry’ pub,just inside the door
A grey haired old geordie
Sits and stares at the floor
The place is packed out It’s always the same
No place for the regulars
Before a big game.
The songs are for Shearer […]

After a gutsy first half performance
It was Chelsea who turned the screw
Classy party poopers
Gus Hiddink’s boys in blue
Sir Bobby, Gazza, Beardsley
Legends on the Tyne
What must have they been thinking
Sat […]

Well lads that’s another one gone
And now there’s only Eight
All the odds are stacked against us
And we have something on our plate.
The ‘Gooners’ came and saw and conquered
And next It’s Chelsea to strut their […]

There’s very little wrang with yer
Gan and play oot on the wing
Or else we’ll only hev Ten men
And I’ts a game that we must win.
Div’nt let them see your struggling
And keep yer arm inside the sling
I’ts only a […]

A free kick is awarded to United
The Bury defensive wall takes up position
The referee pushes them back
The full Ten yards.
Nobody notices the United player
Creeping around the back of the wall
Then suddenly a […]

We scraped a point at Hull City
Which took us up One place
But will that be enough I ask ?
So kindly watch this space.
Next up for us it’s ‘The Gooners’
Next Saturday at half past five
Another one we need to […]

We have Ten cup finals left
In our desperate situation
We must all stand up and be counted
If we are to escape from relegation.

We ask the fans to get behind us
They can be our Twelth man
Now pardon me if I’m […]

Old Billy was a barber
And when Billy cut your hair
Billy could talk for hours
Once he got you in the chair.
His favourite topic was Gateshead
The football team I mean
And it’s a bit of a understatement
To say […]

This is where my faith was born
Where as a boy was brought
This special place where dreams were formed
And countless battles fought.
This hallowed turf where heroes played
And enduring and magical memories […]

Coloccini slips up
Chopra is through
Beat the keeper
That’s all he has to do.
Harper comes out
To narrow the angle
Chopra’s nerves
Go jingle jangle.
He hesitates
The chance has gone
Geordie voices
Rise in song.
He […]

Geordie Crump was a villian
Geordie Crump was really hard
Geordie Crump did sliding tackles
In Windy Nook school yard………ouch
But I had too much skill for him
Nutmegged him once or twice
But for making a mug […]

He travelled up from London
They say he brought his tent
It was only a fleeting visit
So why bother paying rent.

He soon fell out of favour
And knew he could not stay
He’d not even unpacked his suitcase
Before […]

‘Come on without, Come on within
you’ve not seen nothing like the Mighty Wyn’

Flame coloured hair
Now tinged with grey
Number Nine hero of yesterday
Fiery Welsh dragon
‘Wyn the leap’
Fairs cup memories
Still […]

This is no ‘Joy Division’
More of an ‘Inhuman League’
Heading into total ‘Madness’
With more Stone than Roses
And for me very few ‘Happy Mondays’
With the TOON in ‘Dire Straits’

Go find me some players, scour the nation
Things are now desperate as we face relegation
And to help you to buy them
Here’s Ten thousand quid
So get value for money, before making a bid.
Forget premiership […]

Before you make your exit
Before you take your leave
Give us something to remember
And wear your heart upon your sleeve.
Climb those steps at Wembley
On cup final day in May
And lift the famous trophy
Before you […]

Bend over backwards
Pull out all the stops
Seal off the airports
And set up road blocks.
See that his pay packet
Is substantially increased
Transport his stables
Up to the North East.
And in sheer desperation
To […]
