"I know a lass who knew him at schewl...." is the new "Mag at Work said...."

As far as St James' Park goes, this was the sweet spot for me... All covered, corners filled in, opposing stands almost matched. I know its obviously had less capacity than now, but I remember when that was finished, I thought it looked a great stadium. Now, its limited to how much we can expand, and as others have said, this could be our now or never chance to have a modern, new stadium with higher capacity and less restriction on future development or growth (should we need it), whereas on the current site we can expand but with limited opportunity and then, thats it. My only hope is, if we do build/move to a new stadium, is that it stays relatively close and in the city centre, but I guess that limits it to Leazes Park, and whether thats feasible or not. But even if it has to move further away, I still wouldn't be against it, as I think we need it to progress, long term.

They were sponsored by King Power with the Stadium and Shirts when our takeover happened and the new rules over associated parties was brought in. But of course any deals already in place were fine and could remain. They now have a new mens team shirt sponsor, but King Power still sponsor the stadium name, training kits and the womens team shirts. I guess as long as any deals aren't vastly over-inflated from what they've had before, its fine for their owners to keep sponsoring them.

They'll just do what they did when we got taken over. Any deals, even inflated ones and those with associated parties that were in place prior to the rule changes, were fine and could stay. Anything from that day on, subject to the new suddenly rushed in rules. This will be the same. Previous interest free shareholder loans, meh, thats fine. From now on though, not so.

I see not only was he not interested in football at school, he was also now one of the bullies too! Next they'll accept he did support Newcastle as a bairn, but he'll have ben one of the fans that spat on Sir Bobby before he got the sack. A lass who knows him will have telt them. Fantastic the way he triggers them, like.

Yep, the original video when he met her got me too. Same as last season, when the young lad with autism got to meet Anthony and Bruno. These sort of things are a small part of a players day/week, but for these kids, it's massive thing, means the world to them and a fantastic memory for them meeting their favourite players.

Ah man, missed this at the time, but he remembered to do the celebration for that little girl he went to visit, and promised her his next goal he would do the (her) celebration. Just shows the kind of lad he is, that even scoring his first England goal, he still remembered her.

+ Gary Bennett (Brother Dave at least won the FA Cup with Coventry in 1987). In fact, if Sunderland had heard about Stallones' heroics as a Goalkeeper, they'd probably have signed Frank!

Aye, with the north sea swallowing up so much of their catchment area, they need to grasp at whatever straws they can, to try and boost their support, and tak owa different areas.

Gordon's first goal, and both our full backs play the full game, with a clean sheet.
