Tony Mowbray fuming at Dan Neil's red card, allowing Boro to win 4-0. “Dan has thrown his arm out, 20 yards away from the ref, and said: That’s an f-ing foul ref. He is not sworn at the ref. When I am emotional the “f” word comes out. That is all Dan has done." #SAFC

Absolutely brilliant on #nufc situation from Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Passionate on decline of top football and lack of hope in NE and Yorkshire, and what Toon fans need.

NINE hours since Newcastle United conceded! 9 clean sheets in 11 games. Absolute monster team performance to shut out Arsenal. Arteta losing his rag! Calculating, horrible b#****s defending, and also v decent when they play. #nufc #ars
