I never questioned it, he even says he is in the interview I linked to. Just that he doesn’t ”hate” Sunderland but seems to symphathise with them to a degree as well.
Gosforth I think, but not 100%.
Durham according to an interview I read. Feels for both NUFC and the mackems, apparently
He's never came out and said he's a NUFC fan for his neutrality works for his job, but he is. Trust me.
I trust you.
