Perseverance is defined in Webster’s as “Toon Army.” Go ahead and look it up.
But next year’s version will be different. The owner who quit has returned because he has no choice, no money, no will, and, more importantly, he has no buyers.
What is the Toon to look forward to? These are dark days indeed. Mike Ashley has taken away our hope. St James’ is no longer a guaranteed sell out. The only guaranteed sell out is the very owner of our proud club.
I have brought my 11-year-old son to St. James’ twice now and he has embraced the sins of his father.
His first replica bore the No. 8 of Kieran Dyer. I said that Dyer had been with the club a long time and was a good servant, so he followed my advice and selected Dyer as his favorite player. Dyer then proceeded to move on to West Ham in the summer—so much for that!
Now he wears the No. 9 of Obafemi Martins (No. 9 will always be Alan Shearer to me) and I can only say that Martins’ body language indicates that he might be gone sooner than Michael Owen.
There was a time when I thought it was cool to see my son running around in the black and white. Then I got apologetic to those who saw it, and now, worst of all, I don’t even care.
