Trouble brewing in North-East

THE current economic climate presents worrying times for us all, and nowhere more so than in the North-East. Football is an outlet in the area, a way of forgetting about more personal problems, like finding work.

Sadly, two of its inhabitants, Newcastle and Middlesbrough, could soon be playing Championship football. Both sides find themselves in precarious positions, and will struggle to get out of it. One win in eighteen for ‘Boro tells its own story, whilst poor home form, and a tough run-in, including games against Chelsea and Liverpool, will hardly do much to dispel the gloom on Tyneside.

Gareth Southgate and Chris Hughton have it all to do, but a late escape would propel them into North-East football folklore.
