From a regular on Skunkers; I have just finished speaking to this Simon Taylor. To be fair to him he seemed a really nice bloke and couldn't be apologetic enough. I firstly asked in to be specific about the 'protests outside the ground'. I asked him if he had witnessed any organised demonstration. He said he hadn't but, said he had got the feeling of an 'undercurrent'. I personally cannot remember any undercurrent other than anticipation of seeing our new record signing. He was adamant however that there was, to paraphrase 'something in the air'. I challenged him on the fact the Cole did not get a hat-trick on his debut. He acknowledged that was correct and that he had been wrong. I mentioned that any NF demonstrations outside SJP were about a decade earlier. That they had been dealt with and were certainly no worse and definitely less frequent than at Chelsea with Paul Cannoville. He agreed. He praised Newcastle fans for embracing Cole as one of our own and for eradicating racism from St. James Park. Saying that he had nothing but admiration for us. I mentioned that we are sick of the likes of Rob Beasley, Rod Liddle and Mick Dennis taking cheap shots at us, although those are relative superficial. This article is potentially serious and for a lot of fans it is the time to take a stand against the press. He said that Chelsea had there problems with those mentioned as well, but that his comments were not intended to come across as anything bit praise for us. I said I hadn't interpreted them as praise, neither had anybody else up here. I told him that NUFC.com were up in arms about it, and that I thought some people were not going to let it go lightly, that some are going to ask for an apology from him, Chelsea and the paper. Also that there had been complaints to NUFC and the Ombudsman. He said his next call would be to NUFC to apologise.

What's with all the Hebburn bashing like?! It's a cracking place to live and a very good little Football town. Loads of Bars are able to show the foreign 3pm Satda matches! The Longship does have a Sunderland Bar name but it is not - a bus goes to their home matches from there but bar that the majority of drinkers inside it are black and white! It's only a 15 minute metro jounrey from Central Station! It is world famous - look at some of the lyrics in songs; Ooh baby do you know what that's worth? Ooh Hebburn is a place on earth. One night in Hebburn, One night in Hebburn, oh one night in Hebburn Hebburn Must Be Missing An Angel Baby you're all that I want, When you're lying here in my arms, I'm finding it hard to believe, We're in Hebburn to erm, name a few
