Crayola Kid

I'm as scarred by derbies as everyone else after the most recent ones, but I'd still love them to pay us a visit in the big league for a season or two. It would be back to the way it was for the majority of my lifetime, we'd beat them more often than not. And they couldn't keep their heads in the sand and concentrate on the football league, the reality of their station would be in their faces week after week, as every team in the prem brought international stars to their ground and wiped the floor with them

SR6 covers a variety of neighbourhoods, and includes the terraced cottages of Roker right along to the mansions of Cleadon. Its got areas many of you would like to live in and areas some of you might prefer not to live in. Right Move currently has listings from 67K to over 3 million in this post code area. I live near the middle (in both senses, house is valued at almost exactly national average). I'm 5 mins from the beach and a few pubs and restaurants, good distance to walk to when we fancy or avoid if its busy. I've been here 20 years, seen a few changes, and think Sunderland (the city) finally seeing a bit of investment as a genuinely positive thing which rightly gives some locals a little bit of pride and optimism - if thats possible in this weird moment nationally/globally (in my point of view). Of course there is a tendency for some people here to feel the need to compare everything to Newcastle and this is achingly boring, but it's not everyone. Empty vessels and all that. Their football team is a clown car crashing in slow motion, and they are our nearest rivals so that's to be enjoyed, but the other stuff is nowt to me. I've lived in Newcastle too and worked alongside enough from both sides to know there are more things in common than differences between us all

Look at the options Villa currently have. It should become 'normal' for us to have a Barnes or Gordon waiting to come on, as alien as that sounds

Well spotted - exactly confirmed in his interview tonight 👏

So, ASM aside, what made Saudi bid so much for Fabinho, as an example? They put a lot of money into Livpoo and Chelsea for players who quite probably weren’t in demand at the price they paid. Was it just a naive splurge, or is it somehow in their interest to gain favour with some ‘big’ clubs who were quite desperate for funds? I’m not suggesting a specific answer by the way, but they are possibly seeking influence with clubs who may be involved in shaping the next big change in European football. Or not.

The delay isn’t coming from the league this time as far as I can see? 777 had asked for an extension on repaying the loans which were due yesterday until late May, which sounds a bit like they want to know which division the club will be in before completing.

Northumbria Police restrict them to 3.5k in the upper tier. Hell on

Imagine it. 2025/26 season, Newcastle are playing home games at Sunderland while their own ground is redeveloped. Newcastle are then drawn to play at home against Sunderland in the FA cup...

SBR added Bellamy and Robert to a side that had national captains of England, Wales, Eire, NI, Greece and Peru. Full of character and heart, just needed finesse. Dalglish signed almost all of them so however bad his time was, some credit for the players brought in is due. Some.

Looks like Liverpool away a week before, then a clear midweek either side, so the straws I was clutching are all gone

Don’t suppose it’s being played between champs league games and city away to Liverpool or owt?

https://uk.soccerway.com/matches/2015/12/06/england/premier-league/newcastle-united-football-club/liverpool-fc/2043207/ Thats our our only win in his time, before he had put his own stamp on the team. We owe him for all the other results over the years, only chance would be the cup now...

Would we fancy a cup final vs Liverpool in Klopp’s last ever match with them? The build up and coverage would be unbearable, but imagine a win!

I would love hearing Paul Daniels do Phil Daniels part in Park Life! You’ll like this...not a lot!

Psychologist Jacques Crevoisier, interviewed by Swedish magazine Offside, said: "One of the categories is called 'self perceived competence,' i.e. how good the player himself thinks he is. On a scale up to 9, Bendtner got 10! "We have never seen that before. (Assistant manager) Pat Rice was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing.‘
