Rodgers to Celtic is funny. He might actually win something now!

As do I. Partly because it would totally validate my opinion that Pardew is a good manager and the idiotic Pardew Out campaign on Tyneside was... idiotic.

I'd pick Pardew over McLaren any day. Newcastle shot themselves in the foot there, and thank God too as West Ham were courting him.
The atmosphere is so much better too with a decent amount of away fans. Talking of which, I thought Bradford's following last night was very good, nearly 2000 to London on Friday night already 1-3 down in the tie, big effort, I got back to Valley Parade at 4.20am. The atmosphere in The Den was as good as I've ever experienced at a football ground, the Millwall fans very loud indeed. Shame they only turn out to see Bradford City.

We are having our annual cup final day bash in Liverpool today; a mixture of blues, reds and a single Manchester City fan who has become insufferable since they won the lottery. I hope Palace win, but if they don't I will still find some satisfaction; indeed great delight in pointing out the irony of them calling us bitter if Utd win and they react with their usual good grace to any success enjoyed by dem £***%$ mancs!!!

Doesn't always work as you imagine. Lucky for those living /playing in roughly the central band of the country (Manchester & Leeds to Birmingham ish) but my Blyth's experience in the Conference North included Kings Lynn, Histon (outskirts of Cambridge), Bishop Stortford, Redditch, Solihull (both goodly south of Birmingham) & Gloucester-playing at Cheltenham Town's ground. Even the Northern Premier League we're now in has teams in and around Birmingham & Leicester that are too far north for the Midland League to accommodate.
Our nearest games from a coastal town north of Newcastle generally have been Workington on the opposite Cumbrian coast or Harrogate. Largely due to the Northern League's isolationist stance against supporting the pyramid and resisting clubs promotion which Manchester, Yorkshire, Midlands etc based feeder leagues embrace.
Luckily last season Darlington were on their way back up towards their lost league status & now we have Spennymoor coming back up after some poor financial fortunes last time at our level so theres been a couple of near as local derbies
The trouble is that the south of the country is a narrow wide strip with a lot of teams spread widely across a flat area so the north effectively does become pretty much everything above the M25.
