i've been doing a stall at newcastle's quayside sunday market and yesterday i decided to come away to get home in time for the qpr vs everton having missed the sunderland vs newcastle derby match,i left to catch the bus about 3:15 having heard newcastle were 1-0 up i got to the main bus station in time to catch the 3:30 bus home i could here chanting 'toon toon black and white army' coming from one of the pubs from opposite the bus station and hundreds of fans outside, once the bus pulled out the streets were filled with newcastle fans you would have thought it was a home match there was so many around,when the bus approached the gate complex (pubs/restraunts) there had to be around a thousand fans gathered again with chanting and singing jumping around and dancing and quite a few of them looking pi##ed then the bus just about to pull up at the stop a couple just ambled out in front of the bus making him toot the horn then when the bus stopped at the stop 4 of 5 more drunken fans run out from in front of the bus banging on the the drivers window as they went running across the road in front of more traffic i couldnt help just looking at so many drunks at half three on a sunday afternoon,my eye was then taken with the groups of lasses and it seemed none of them could walk properly but didnt look too drunk and eventually when i looked at their feet they had huge clog type high high heeled shoes on and this was the reason for the strange walks,i know it might be high fashion to be wearing the high heels but whats the point if you cant walk in them? i much prefer the short skirt and boots look (not for myself) anyway all the way round to the central station the sites were repeated drunks staggering across roads in front of the buses and taxis and the groups of lasses learning to walk again,i'll be amazed if there werent several people knocked over and i couldn't help but wonder what state some of those staying out for the evening session would be in,it was only when i got in and checked the result i found out it was a draw with ba scoring a late own goal so i could only imagine what the city centre would have been like if newcastle had of won!
