    Bucks will no doubt tell us Hell does exist as he knows a number of people who have been there!

    Going by the second half highlights Bennett looked strong and certainly possesses a better first touch than Nuttall, McDonagh or Carver.

    He’s already got a better win ratio than Keith Hill!

    The big problem with Hell is it doesn’t exist.

    Indeed, not since the Vetch Field wàs demolished.

    And there were a couple of pubs in the Wild West-End of Newcastle that would have made it into Dante’s Inferno!

    BTW The concept of Hell as we think of it is a medieval invention.

    Previous incarnations were waiting rooms for the soul.

    If you want folk to tow the party line, don’t reason with them, scare them shitless!

    Project Fear is not a 21st century invention.

    I reckon Hilton should sack Dean and appoint WonderGoals as manager.

    Still having a peerage system in the 21st century is a joke.

    Rather like our previous owner Hilton gambled.

    Bring in new coaches and players and hope they could get us the points required to climb out of the bottom four.

    Thus far it hasn’t happened. And as we all know we’re running out of games.

    I don’t even think there was time for a honeymoon was there?

    Aye, it would seem that Mr Hilton dropped a major bollock by rushing in a new manager when the Admiral was at the helm!

    Stability was what we needed but his first month in charge seems to have been just the opposite!

    He’ll play one up top and state this result won’t define our season…..

    Well it looks like a standard 4-4-2 with a strong (if they play to their potential) midfield a two up top.

    Virtually a completely different team from a month ago. Too many changes perhaps?

    Anybody know what’s going on with him ?. SST said he had heard he’d already gone back to which then Hilton said he hadn’t but something must have gone off, he can’t even make the squad.

    All a bit strange.

    Sorted for you!

    The chances of getting a “goal every other game” striker when it’s March and you’re 23rd in the National League are extremely slight.

    Unless we already have one in the building we’ll be feeding off scraps.

    Which pretty much describes our forward line this season.

    Leon Clarke signed for Hartlepool in January. 38 but would still have scared the shit out of NL defences!

    11 goals in 15 games for us. I doubt if we’ve ever had a better goals per game ratio striker.

    Bloody Hell!

    The Spit & Vomit as we used to call it!

    It’s claim to fame is it’s in the opening shots of Get Carter, when he gets off the train and crosses the road into the pub.

    Then again, we all know where Get Carter should have been filmed!

    Which pub Heathy?

    The Toon are certainly record breakers.

    Newcastle have now lost each of their last nine matches at Wembley, a run that began in the 1974 FA Cup final, extending what is the longest ever losing run by any club side at the venue.

    68 years of hurt!

    If he’s that good why come to a struggling NL club?

    People keep likening him to Ryan Yates, but he came here when we were in L1 and Forest were still a Championship team.

    We got it against the Daggers. Let’s not be greedy!

    We still haven’t got a goal scorer worthy of the name. There’s a reason Boreham Wood released Elliott and it was Cove Rangers we got McDonagh from not the Ibrox outfit!

    We’ll huff and puff until the end of the season. Some days it will click, others times it will be like yesterday.

    Mathematically we are still in it, realistically we’re heading for a second relegation.

    Unfair to target the manager after three games, as I-A says we were gone long before he arrived.

    I usually visit the Metro Centre on the banks of the Tyne at Dunston once every leap year. So when I accompanied Mrs NI there the other week it was my first visit since before Covid.

    The first thing I noticed was the number of empty shops since I was last there. I’m not talking single units but the vast Debenhams store that had a footprint the size of our village and other large High Street retailers. The food court and cinema complex were buzzing, but elsewhere the centre had an eerie silence.

    It is of course one vast heated greenhouse and you can happily wander around in shorts and a T shirt in January.

    Light bulb moment 💡

    Not original though. I have since read about redundant shopping malls on the continent being converted into fruit and vegetable growers markets.

    As retailers quit the town centres and malls to trade online it’s certainly something to consider.

    As a footnote I’d say that kids become bullies by watching other bullies rather than by reading books.

    Usually in the books the bullies get their come-uppance. And that’s particularly true of the Dahl stories.
