The Silence of the Fans....

Is it just me? Or do others feel this way.....

After a season of Ashley and his dwarf, and their arrogance towards the fans, no communication, the dubbing of the puppet chairman as "the silence of the Llambias", and the verbal diarrhoea which seems to constantly emanate from the mouth of the puppet manager....

The away fans are always the very core of the Toon Army - the footsoldiers who traipse up and down the land and would run through a brick wall for the cause that is our beloved Newcastle United. Battle hardened and unbowed in the face of tirades of abuse at various grounds of so-called "big" clubs...they are the crack troops, the elite.

Theyre also always a useful barometer with which to measure feelings amongst the rest of the greatest fans in the country....

All week, the local radio and newspapers have been featuring stories on how quiet the fans are in the face of the complete and utter shambles that is the running of the club.

Then yesterday it happened. Faced with the appealling fare of 90 mins having a go at Fat Sam for all the ills he allegedly brought to NUFC......the fans turned. Sam was cast aside - and the true feelings of Tyneside let rip on a cold afternoon in Blackburn.

Ashley, the dwarf all got special treatment. But the big guns trained on the "manager with the mouth" who was treated to waves of abuse - not before time, his record at a club of this size is appalling.

Strains of "Walking in a Keegan Wonderland" brought a lump to the throat - but it was the cry in the wilderness for an army with no leaders and nowhere to go.....
