Got to our free (won in a raffle months ago) city centre hotel about 9 last night, in the best curry house in the toon by ten with her looking hot.
Sat behind us was none other than Alan Shearer......I turned into a ten year old.....stars truck like never before. Felt best to leave him be as he was eating but quite weird feeling so giddy.
Then from nowhere the boss of my better half popped up.....he was entertaining some clients upstairs......bit watered but offered to pay for our dinner. sweet.
Was having a smoke outside after the main when I saw some lady talking to the Geordie legend, when she then came outside I asked her if he minded....she said ask the manageress as their friends....I did and she hooked us up. Shook hands,talked about England,Rovers and thanked him for not signing for man united but the toon. He was a proper gent and genuine and respected that we were there for rovers. He did refer to us as Bristol though .....had to correct him! I was a shaking wreck for ten minutes after.....my mrs was highly amused.
Anyway when he left he came past and shook my hand again and wished us luck for the match. Geezer. We then left for some beers in toon having spent only a fiver for a cab since arriving. Slipped into bed about 3:30am but woke at 7:30 excited about the match. Large fry up, a tour Of Newcastle and a visit to Whitley bay before landing at the match. Impressed with our numbers in the pub....and in the ground. Some good singing then it began and we couldn't get the ball. They had loads of corners and some half chances, we had beggar all. Last ten minutes of the half I felt we started to play ok so felt hopeful for second half. We were better but created no chances yet suddenly the ball fell to Ellis and he lobbed him and.....you know the rest.
Top weekend. About 2 and half hours till home but I will have to watch The Voice as can't be on it as something weird seems to have happened to my voice.
Thanks DC. Thanks players. Thanks Newcastle. UTG
