The morning after and I'm still really annoyed by this. Liverpool and Newcastle are very similar cities, economically and socially. This chant is an insult to not only the working class of a fine city but also to everyone who works hard for @nufcfoodbank #nufc

@PKMNO9 @nufcfoodbank Ok, your type of "banter" is different from mine. IMO, stuff about Pickford is banter, singing about families not being able to put food on the table isn't.

Back to the football. It's worth remembering that BHA were promoted with us. Since then, they hired a progressive manager and got their recruitment spot on. As a result, they've climbed the table. Meanwhile, we hired Bruce and signed Hendrick. Currently 19th without a win #NUFC
