Guest Stephen927 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Saw it on Sky Sports News this morning, and thought it would be good to have a thread to talk about the day just to take a bit of the edge off the Middlesbrough game and to talk about something other than doom and gloom. http://www.nufc.pl/galeria/albums/userpics/10001/murawa.jpg http://www.nufc.pl/galeria/albums/userpics/10001/shearer_karny.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/53/152671320_47adddaae2.jpg?v=0 http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/nejournal/oct2007/8/5/B293270D-FAD8-2D6E-0C330F20643E5B68.jpg http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41398000/jpg/_41398439_masks_pa.jpg http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/multimedia/archive/01376/Alan_Shearer_testi_1376248i.jpg http://www.toonarmyusa.com/images/mfaria/shearer/shearer10.jpg Was a fantastic atmosphere that night, shame he couldn't play the full 90 but he still managed to come on and save the day despite Julio Arca's vicious assault on him 3 games previous.

Jill Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I also had the mother of all hangovers from going on stage the night before at a Kubichek! gig. I was meant to go to that gig, had to sell my tickets at the last minute though. The testimonal was extremely cheesy, but fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The greatest most unexpectedly enjoyable night ive ever had supporting NUFC. Off the back of a turgid season I think the collective feeling before the 'match' was that we were just turning up because we had to. But man, what a night it turned out to be, fuckin immense. I doubt there's ever been another testimonial like that in the UK ever. When that fit lass was singing 'time to say goodbye' at the end and the whole ground had their scarves up, it was a sea of black and white everywhere that was one of those special moment that only come along once in a blue moon. My mate who thinks hes a bit of a hard man who never shows any soppy emotion was fighting back the tears. We still take the piss out of him for it but thats what it was like, everyone was getting carried away. Overall it was just one of those special nights that remind you just what a great club this is to support. I can still remember that I was buzzing for days afterwards about it.

Shak Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I really wish we'd bring back the black and white striped nets, they were the business. The new nets are why we are where we are, make no mistake about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt there's ever been another testimonial like that in the UK ever. Definitely a lot of this. Fact that Shearer wasn't going to really be playing was pretty sad, but it turned out to be absolutely brilliant occasion. Still peeved that we played Celtic though... very typical of this fucking club of the last few years: can't do anything right. Even for Shearer's send off. We could have anyone had and it would have been just as class atmosphere wise, but why wasn't it an England XI with lots of ex players he'd played with from England or Blackburn I don't know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
