Twenty nine football supporters have been arrested and four police officers have been injured following hooliganism during and after today's Tyne-Wear derby between Newcastle United and Sunderland.
Bottles were thrown and garbage cans were set ablaze after police officers tried to escort the Newcastle supporters back to the city center. One Newcastle United hooligan tried to fight a police officer on a horse.

... and so it was that Co. Durham decided Fascism isn't so bad after all?

Us Brits have our priorities straight.

If he keeps his mouth shut on politics, keeps to football and does well then let him be.

So NBC announced their plans for their coverage of the Premier League next season. They plan to televise practically all the games among their universe of tv stations, produce two Match of the Day programs not unlike those on BBC, and for all of us American plastics, they'll show two two-hour game highlights shows, one for Manchester United and Manchester City, the other for Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Liverpool.

As for commentators and talking heads...

Yeah.

Though Man Utd has ran away with it at the top the bottom of the premier is really tight this year. Add 6 points to the 16th place team and they're 9th.

QPR and Reading are certain to go down but the other remains uncertain. Ideally I hope it's Newcastle, but more realistically Aston Villa could still go down. Which as said before i would like.

And 6:45 minutes of extra time to let him score... Fucking disgrace of a referee
