It was never going to happen overnight. They knew that. Even the ones wearing Arab headdress, those that had boycotted the ground for more than a decade, those who truly believed Kylian Mbappe might one day lift the Champions League trophy in a black and white jersey. They knew alchemy could not be performed in a matter of days.
They expected better than this, though. They dared to dream. They really did think they’d win this one. With the ground full, and in fine voice, with the flags flying and the hated Cockney Mafia gone, this was going to be their day. A giant banner was erected. ‘Cause this is a mighty town, built upon solid ground, and everything they’ve tried so hard to kill, we will rebuild.’ The lines were taken from Jimmy Nail’s anthem about the region, Big River. There’s another song of that name, by Johnny Cash. ‘Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry,’ it begins. ‘I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.’ By the end, as mild as the evening was, it was Cash’s river that seemed to resonate.
With 16 minutes to cold, all optimism had gone. There were cries for Steve Bruce to be sacked, taunts that it was going to happen the next morning. It was an unedifying conclusion to his 1,000 th game as a manager. Then Jonjo Shelvey got sent off. He had only come on after 60 minutes, was booked for a foul after 79, dismissed for bringing down Sergio Reguilon five minutes later. It seemed to sum up Newcastle’s hopelessness, how swiftly the good mood had soured.
A glimmer of a grandstand finish came at the end when Eric Dier inexplicably headed the ball into his own net from a Jacob Murphy free-kick, but it was more by luck than judgement. Tottenham were in control for much of this match and the boos that arrived on cue at the end may be the final word on Bruce’s sorry reign. The stadium announcer revealed the next game here was against Chelsea and ‘completely sold out’. To masochists, obviously.
