Mugged at the Stadium of Light

Can anyone help - police are asking for help for the most heinous of crimes carried out at the Satdium of Light on Sunday just gone.

We are not talking about the little toe-rag that tried to launch Steve Harper! Incidentally he was marched straight to St James Park by his dad so that he could apologise to the Newcastle team firstly for the attempted assault and secondly for the daylight robbery that happened just prior to him confronting Harper... and then straight back to the Stadium of Light where he again apologised - it's not gonna help bonnie lad but nice gesture! My advice take up fishing or badminton and learn to channel your aggression!

Anyhow - 4 points off us this season and you lot are still not happy! - Simply any argument doesn't work cos the league doesn't lie!

I'm gonna get a petition together to change Newcastle's name from 'Newcastle upon Tyne' to 'Newcastle under Sunderland' and before you say it I know it's a marathon not a sprint!
