Toon Army’s Game Showdown…
In a twist worthy of a Shakespearean drama, Newcastle’s captain Eddie Howe was holed up like a pirate with a winter cold, marooned on the island of his bed while his trusty sidekick, Jason ‘Tackle Terrier’ Tindall, held court with reporters. Tindall claims the ol’ Magpie Master was in constant communication, probably by attaching notes to carrier pigeons or maybe via high-tech telepathy. Either way, Tindall confidently predicts Captain Howe will rise from the ashes of his duvet in time to captain the ship against the red sea of Manchester United’s warriors.
But wait, there’s more on the Toon Toon telegraph! Like a superhero waking from his slumber, Anthony Gordon has been spotted stretching his toes on the training pitch grass after an epic saga of suspensions and medical mysteries. Will the winger whirl across the St James’ Park green like a human tornado? Tindall says, “Perhaps!”, as the physios check his superpower levels.
And don’t go forgetting about Alexander ‘Goal Machine’ Isak, who had a minor hiccup against the foxes of Leicester. Thanks to some hocus-pocus healing from the medical wizards, he’s feeling as nimble as a fox himself! This Sunday promises to be a cracker of a contest with Howe, Gordon, and Isak ready to make Manchester United wish they’d stayed home in their comfy slippers. Grab your popcorn, folks, this carnival is just starting!
