test of allegiance

many dejected Newcastle United fans heading home after a 2-0 defeat to Blackpool.

I couldn't get my camera out in time to capture the guy with "optimstic Dave" on the back of his shirt, or "pessimistic Pete" or "realistic Ron"

would have been pointless trying to get the shirt reading:

"Oh no here comes another season of unrealistic expectations, dashed hopes bitter in fighting, the occasional joy of victory, the bitter taste of defeat, the dullness of a 0-0 draw, the refeering blunders and the general frustration of following the toon, Susan !"

Don't have a wide enough lens and she was a big lass
