Violent Disorder By Newcastle United Fans In City Centre After Derby Defeat - Sky Tyne and Wear

So called Fans from both sides should be ashamed. Reading reports seems home fans worst culprits. Bloody idiots

Terrible day for the North east North / South divide ? we didn't help the regions cause today.

Good result for Sunderland, they deserved it. We continue to squander possession and opportunities.

I just back from Newcastle and it was both sets of fans, 2 organsied mini busses turned up on Newcastle and Sunderland fans clashed just up from Stowell street, also smaller fights breaking out between fans and some idiot toon fans taking it out on things....know this as asked the officer 7 times why i could not get out the car park for 20mins.

Out played.. cant complain...until next year if we both stay in the lwague.

At least the pond life emptying the bins to throw bottles at the police,
had the good grace to happily show their faces to the cameras.
Sincerely hope every single one of them gets time.
Football fans? Don't make me laugh.

A long time coming that result . Just what we needed and hope we keep it going. Amazing what a bit of real passion can do, fire in the belly. Pull on the di, Cannio has landed in style. Smash up the toon when ya not singing . hahahaha.
