Caption Competition 188
The Geordie Dancer goes through his routine
The infamous Geordie Dancer goes through his routine before kick-off in the Premiership clash between Newcastle and Middlesbrough at St James' Park.

His antics may have traumatised the Newcastle team who struggled against their north-east rivals before Craig Bellamy and Alan Shearer earned them a 2-1 victory in the second half.

Adrian Wade from Canada sums up the feelings of a confused nation with this witticism.

'Tyne and Weird'

Brilliant work Mr Wade the goody bag is heading your way as we speak.

Fear not Cap Compers those who didn't win this week will have another chance of glory when our new competition goes up on Monday at 1300GMT.
