Love the irony of getting Neymar to advertise Diesel aftershave with the theme and slogan of "Only the Brave". I take it they've never actually seen him play.

Found this mildly interesting, it's about the name origins of places in the NE. I looked it up because for the first time in my life I thought that Sunderland must mean a land which has been sundered or broken apart

Interesting their take on Consett because there are a load of …..setts at the top of Wensleydale (Burtersett, Appersett etc) and they all derive from the Norse "saeter" meaning summer pasture. So I'd think perhaps the Chronic has it wrong
