I used to go and watch Borough sometimes if Albion were away and I wasn't going. A former student of mine played for them for a while before turning pro.

I'm with you on this. Always used to get a pint or two in there while waiting for a train. I went to Uni in the North East, Newcastle Station used to have a good pub in it. Don't know if it's still there or not, 1988 was the last time I was there!

I know why, it's because there is no easy solution to it that they can try and buy votes with. It's a long term problem with no easy solution making it an electoral nightmare.

I'm gonna be honest, and I can't believe I'm posting this publicly, but I found Five to be about the least objectional of the shitty boy bands. Some of their stuff was quite catchy.

First club to release a track in the football rap genre, beating Liverpool by 5 years.

Good call. If I remember rightly from the publicity at the time, our seats in the whole stadium are the same design as the ones that were only in the VIP sections of the Olympic Stadium (now West Ham's ground).

Normally at this stage I'd pick any three of the league games, however, if we can get past Liverpool, the FA Cup remains a possible gateway to Europe so I'm torn. Ignoring competitions, doing the double over City would be awesome, so that has to be there. Newcastle away is always tough, so I'd...

Fantastic to see ManUre way down there...

Sorry if fixtures, but I don't think it is. I thought it might be interesting to list a few of the things our forward thinking club did before anybody else. Ideas can come from anywhere in the club's history. One's you're not sure of are welcome, I'm sure some stattos will correct any that...

Also, Joan Jett's version of this has so much more attitude than anyone else's version.
