NUFC.com: “Once more unto the breach….
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Cardiff here we come.
Sunday gives us the chance to right the wrongs, to forget the damage brought upon this club by those charged with its stewardship. To show the world what Newcastle United is all about.
The thing that no-one can ever take away from us is that regardless of who is in charge, no matter who wears the shirt on the field, the club belongs to the fans. Without us it is nothing.
Make sure you go to Cardiff wearing the black and white with pride. Let’s have a show of strength from the people that make the difference - us.
If you don’t normally sing and make a noise, make this the exception, if you usually sing, make this exceptional.
If we go behind, double the volume. If we go two behind treble it. Even if we leave Cardiff with our tail between our legs, let’s make sure we growl, snarl and bark out our message until the final whistle.
Let’s make it clear that everyone knows who the real United is - 30,000 of us with one voice. It could be some time before we get the chance to do it again.
Regardless of what happens on the pitch we need to leave Wales with our heads held high - if we are failed by those on the field then we can still return victorious.
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. As someone once said….”
Boy does that inspire me, I really hope that people take this to heart and everyone on the black and white half go home with hoarse throats.
