I’ve lived and worked on Tyneside and I totally understand the frustrations of Newcastle United fans. Years ago, by day, I was a poorly paid young football reporter trying to make my way in the industry; by night I was the friendly barman making up my income, chatting about the Toon until the early hours on the Tuxedo Royale, a nightclub on a boat moored under the Tyne Bridge, with a revolving dancefloor and lots of scantily clad barmaids. I’m beginning to wonder why I ever left! Newcastle fans were vocal in their calls for manager Alan Pardew to be sacked at Southampton on Saturday
