Just back after much awaited football match at St. James Park - Manchester vs Newcastle. Watching it live from the stadium was a great experience. Newcastle played very well, although I was expecting Manchester to win. ManU disappointed with a poor performance, and the self goal at the last moment by Paul Jone's got them cemented to the floor. This is the first victory for Newcastle over Manchester in the English Premier League for more than a decade. 3-0 win for Newcastle took away ManU's chance for retaining their title.
The crowd here is so passionate about football, and were cheering for home team at the top of their voice. The howling and cheering and shouting by the Geordie crowd is what made the experience more exciting. We all joined them and it was fun. (Me, Arun, Praveen, Abel, Ankur, Mokshi, Teena, Vibha and Pooja)
Everyone stood up when the Geordies sang
"Stand up if you love the Toon"
"We love Newcastle, we do
We love Newcastle, we do
We love Newcastle, we do"
"Toon! Toon!
Black and White Army
Toon! Toon!
Black and White Army"
I think Geordies are the best supporters a team can ever have. So crazy, that they have a lot of chants for their team. One I got from internet goes like this.
The famous Man United went to Rome to see the Pope
The famous Man United went to Rome to see the Pope
The famous Man United went to Rome to see the Pope
And this is what he said *FUCK OFF*
Who the FUCK are Man United
Who the FUCK are Man United
Who the FUCK are Man United
As the Mags Go Marching on, on, on....
No offense to ManU fans, I just got excited about the Geordie passion for football and their home team.
It was so sad that Manchester Utd didn't win the match.
