DIVIDE  AND      CONQUER 34 I’m sick of football, I’m sick of Newcastle United. I’ve been going to games since 1985. We were no great shakes then even, however my first game was against Liverpool and we did actually win, but don’t let that fool you, we were as shite as ever. My current mood may be attributable to the two most horrific home games I’ve ever seen. Two in a row. I’m not saying that to be controversial, the last two home games are the most horrific we’ve ever seen. I’ve seen us lose 4-1 at home to Wolves, I’ve seen us humbled off Bristol Rovers at St James’ Park, but the cowardly showing and horrendous results against two teams many of us detest more than any other, are the worst anyone in their 30’s, maybe even mid 40’s have EVER seen. My feelings about how frustrated I am about football and Newcastle United run far deeper than that though. Don’t get me wrong, I’d never stop going, because like many others, I’m a mug.
