Out of interest, why?
He has never picked himself, played through numerous injuries when needed, scored some big goals (including against the mackems) and has never been one of those w***** footballers that drags the club through s***.
Don't understand why anyone would hate him
Agree with Cajun. He's a top pro, Geordie, role-model to his younger brother Sammy, scored some very important goals for us, and hits 1 f***ing mint penalty. He' given 100% to this club, even if he may have been limited with injuries, or had a woeful run-out in the team.
Hating the guy? Have a word with yourself - hopefully you realize you are just using an overly harsh word....I'd always thought most would have the same opinion as Mick if they had issues with his ability.
