Wear-Tyne Derby

By
Who would want to be a Sunderland supporter this weekend? They are arguably there for the taking and it doesn’t help Newcastle United have found some goals.

Even new boss Sam Allardyce believes the pressure is on him in this massive derby. Granted the Magpies have only one win in the bag but that is one more than their hosts. Wins, not to mention big wins, boost confidence and Big Sam is shroud enough to know that.

Allardyce having lost his first match in charge last weekend and must be aware that none of the last 3 Sunderland bosses lost their first match against their arch rivals

Sky Reports: “Sunderland have won the last five encounters with Newcastle and Allardyce told the Sunderland Echo: “I've got to look after the reputation of Sunderland.
”The pressure's on me more than it's on Steve. We've won the last five, so I don't want to be the one who doesn't win it.
“But we'll wait and see on the players - only the players can make everyone smile next week. They just 'have to carry on what they have done five times before.
They have been struggling, but won the last five games against Newcastle. They don't need me to coach them this week! Let's hope for the same again.”

One thing is for sure this is a fixture I don't want to miss, the action, the passion and usually the goals leave nothing to the imagination.

Unfortunately for Big Sam the writing is on the wall, in my opinion that is and I would put money on it being by two goals. Newcastle fans would like that I'm sure.

The Premier League changes its logo.

By
The most lucrative football league in the world, The English Premier League (EPL), yesterday unveiled its new official logo, which will be used from the 2016-17 season onwards. The division's lion icon has been the face of England's top flight since its launch in 1992 but has undergone a makeover to give it a fresh, modern look. It means, EPL is ending its 12-year association with Barclays bank and will from now on be known simply as ‘the Premier League’. The new logo – has a crowned lion’s head gazing to the right, accompanied by either the words ‘Premier League’ or ‘PL’ -- will replace the current logo of a lion with its left paw on a football. All 20 clubs in the top flight have also agreed a new centralised sponsorship strategy, meaning the league will no longer have a named sponsor. “From next season we will move away from title sponsorship and the competition will be known as the Premier League, a decision which provided the opportunity to consider how we wanted

"But the human tragedy i

Ronaldo keeps on winning - Fifa Best Player Award

By
Cristiano Ronaldo was named the world's best player at the inaugural Best Fifa Football Awards in Zurich. Real Madrid and Portugal forward Ronaldo, 31, beat Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann to the prize. Ronaldo also won the Ballon d'Or in December, with both honours recognition for success in the Champions League with Real and Euro 2016 with Portugal. 2016 was quite a year for Ronaldo. As well as scoring the decisive penalty in the shootout to win the Champions League, rescuing Real with a hat-trick in the final of the Club World Cup, captaining Portugal to Euro 2016 glory and being recognised with a fourth Ballon d'Or, he now has something Messi does not - the honour of being named best Fifa men's player. The former Manchester United forward had been the favourite for the award, following a year in which he continued to deliver. The stats don’t lie: 44 games, 42 goals, 14 assists. The third best minutes-per-goal
