‘Newcastle United fans – We didn’t start the fire…’

I was out having a few pints with the lads in the Turks Head (Stuffed Dog) in Tynemouth yesterday, when the Billy Joel song ‘We didn’t start the fire’ was playing on the jukebox.

It reminded me of all of the ‘Whataboutery’ being slung at Newcastle United fans and although there are many parodies regarding the lyrics of the original, I have penned my own little version of the ‘Piano Man’s’ 1989 recording.

I am trying to be relevant but wouldn’t like it to be taken too seriously by the usual suspects.

So here it is….’The Whataboutery Song’ (The Toon (Newcastle United fans) didn’t start the fire)

Well, hope you appreciate the ditty, I’ll probably pop down to the ‘Stuffed Dog’ over the weekend to lubricate my tonsils and listen to their fine musical collection once again.
