NUFC Fans - never fucking left the team. Even at 0-4 they were vocal as owt and full of encouragement. My mate and I were laughing in the first half - desperation- you are beat etc, but the fans they never turned to be fair
2nd half the red card happens and you still think 4 goals, mags might get a couple back but nowt to fear, but fair credit again the fans were fucking 'we're having this like'
So they get it back to 2-4 and Arsenal just go. Big style they lose it like we lost it at Stoke and everyone in teh ground knows it. madness but fair fucks to them.
But my point is this:
Would it haveh happened at out place? NO. Would our fans have stuck by the team? NO. Come back? No.
What I learned today is that there is a big big difference between the two clubs. I think it's ingraine, maybe not a conciious thing, but we are fundamnetally different. Like it or not, but the Toon fans helped turn it around today and our lot would have a - fucked off and b -blamed it on Henderson
