And our prolific goal machine skyed it from 2 yards!

This stage last season Wood 2: Dunne and Westwood were our scorers. Our next two goals were scored by Brady in a 1-1 draw against Everton and an Aubemayang own goal in our win at Arsenal.
This season Wood: Tarkowski: Mee and Cornet plus 1 own goal.

If my grandad was alive his retort would be, "This lot couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo if they were strapped on it's f*cking tail!"

Brownhill failed to hit the target from 4 yards out on Saturday, which sort of proves he would be right!

Brownhill was supposed to br our new midfield star after he was prized away from Bristol City.A massive disappointment in my opinion.Runs around a lot and tackles but that is it.His shooting accuracy is 17%, his cross accuracy is 27% with 1 assist and no goals in 51 PL matches.
Championship is his level judging by those stats.

Let's not throw the towel in yet lads,we are at least creating some decent chances for our forwards,hopefully our luck will change soon and we can get a few points on the board.

If we do throw in towel some pr*ck in Tyneside will put it on his head and pick up a Saudi flag.

The arab head dress is known as a 'keffiyah
The Palestinian keffiyeh (Arabic: كوفية‎, romanized: koofiyyeh) is a chequered black and Traditional black and white keffiyehs became associated with Fatah.

The keffiyeh remained a symbol of rank, worn by Palestinian men to assert their positions of authority. Fast forward to the 1930s, and the garb become a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, when it was worn by rebels to shield their identities as they resisted against the British Mandate. The keffiyeh was banned as a result of these events, which sparked the wearing of the garb by all Palestinians as a way to make it more difficult for the authorities to recognize rebels.
During the 1960s, the keffiyeh became an even more prominent symbol of Palestinian resistance when it was adopted by Yasser Arafat. Arafat seldom made public appearances without the headdress.

Ask any one of the myriad vendors hawking keffiyahs in downtown Amman (Jorden) and he will inform you that the red and white checkered scarf is an age-old symbol of Jordanian culture. The pattern, the haberdashers seem to agree, is an embodiment of the territory’s tradition and primordial past.

But the red and white keffiyah wasn’t a common feature of the territory’s vestiary landscape before the colonial era (1920-1946), and it wasn’t until much later that it became a symbol of Jordanianness. The scarf only started to develop into a prominent article of clothing in Transjordan in the early 1930s after the British Officer John Bagot Glubb (more affectionately known to Transjordanians as “Glubb Pasha”) included it in the uniform of the Desert Patrol – a bedouin unit of the Arab Legion that he created in 1930.

Despite the fact that it was Glubb who had imbued it with such commanding significance, the keffiyah was adopted by the government as the visible apotheosis of Jordan’s new national identity. Not only did the scarf seem to harken back to a pre-Palestinian, Transjordanian history and culture, but it also offered a powerful contrast to the black and white keffiyah that Yassir Arafat and Leila Khaled had coined as a metonymic representation of the Palestinian cause in the late 1960s.

The traditional Saudi headdress is popularly known as ghutra. Western and Asian visitors to the Kingdom can see hordes of Saudi men and children wearing the ghutra and igal.(that's the 'rope holding the headdress). Many believe that it is worn to keep away the heat from the scorching desert sun, while others argue that it is an age-old tradition that is very popular among Saudis and Arabs.

One important component of wearing the ghutra is securing it on the head. It is often seen that even when a Saudi man walks fast his ghutra never falls off. It is the igal, the black rope-like cord, that holds the ghutra in place.
Some of the photographs taken about 50 years ago show men wearing a white ghutra. “I never saw my father or any one from his generation wearing the checkered red and white ghutra,” said Saleh Al-Otaibi, an elderly Saudi man. In other words, the red and white ghutra was not introduced until about 50 years ago. The new colours and designs of ghutra came to the market only a few years ago, he added.
Today, a majority of the Arab men wear keffiyeh, also called shemagh. It is basically a traditional square cotton scarf which is placed on the head and secured with an igal. Different tribes, countries and even neighbourhoods have their own traditional colours for the keffiyeh.

So now you lads know and can tell those Newcastle guys a bit of history!!

Balan --the only history that Newcastle fans are interested in is the fact that they were Champions of England in 1926/27 and Mike Ashley has been responsible for them not having won anything since ----oh ------and Steve Bruce!
