FtF goes to Derby

Having a young family – and all that entails – means that away trips are a rare luxury these days, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
The team’s perilous league position makes it vital that as many fans as possible follow them on the road. So with that in mind we set the alarm for [...]

Opinion: Derby v Fulham

It was a late decision – 6am Saturday morning, in fact – but we were at Derby yesterday afternoon to see what must surely be the final nail hammered into our coffin. Not being able to secure three points against a team already doomed to relegation or even hold on to a lead for more [...]

Derby…this really is a MUST WIN game

Apologies for the lack of posts this week. Our house is having major surgery which means I’ve been unable to get online as much as normal, and even more annoyingly, this is putting my trip to Derby in serious jeopardy. Aaarrrggh!
My ticket has been purchased, the seat has been booked on the coach from CC [...]

The way it stands

Not a great set of results for us with Sunderland recording their first away win of the season at Aston Villa and Bolton managing a draw at home to Man City. Cheers Sven. Reading also beat Birmingham which, according to my calculations, leaves the foot of the table looking like this.

15th. Reading – 31 points
16th. [...]

Chin up…it’s not over yet

As I write there are less than 15 minutes left at St James’ Park and things are looking bleak. After falling behind to a Mark Viduka goal in the sixth minute it was always going to be an uphill struggle. With Keegan’s links to both sides maybe it was written in the stars that he [...]

Saturday is for football

People shoving, fighting for car parking spaces and stomping around with miserable faces. It was grim stuff and made me realise something: Saturdays are for football. Whether we win, [...]

Jari Litmanen back…

News on the official site is that Jari Litmanen is back training with the First Team. He lacks match fitness – tell us something we don’t know – but Roy believes he may still play a crucial role in the run-in. I doubt it to be honest. By the time he gets fit the season [...]

All up for Derby

Newcastle away has sold out but there are still tickets left for Derby away on Saturday 29th March so I would urge everyone to make a special effort to get there. Chairman Mo is once again laying on free coaches – I’m already booked on one of them – so hats off to him for [...]
