    Like Robbie Williams clearly used the fame and glitz of supporting Port Vale to shift all the albums he sold

    I spotted a few undercover mackems at the Fender gig last night.
    One had a Juve top on with FENDER on the back the other had a Botafogo top on.
    Clearly couldn't fully bring themselves to don a Toon top like the rest of the crowd but settled on a compromise.

    The other way of looking at it is they have managed to get a £27m boost to finances and then spend 1/5 of that per year on a replacement (assuming 5 year amortisation)

    Arguably the best u20 player in england?!?! I've seen sunderland fan slag his performances of multiple times, he's not all that, they've done amazingly well to get that fee for him, he'd be found wanting in the premier league.
