Divided loyalties

Football. The beautiful game. A game that can have two grown men arguing like children in a playground; a game that can incite mass violence among two sets of fans; a game that is not a game, it is a religion devotedly followed.

Anyone who lives in the North East of England will know the passion the people of the region have for football. It is bred into them from birth. It’s part of their four survival necessities - food, water, shelter and football. In no particular order!

You have three major teams to choose from. Newcastle, Sunderland or Middlesborough. Once you’ve made your choice, there is no going back.

I am a Newcastle United fan. My good friend plays for Sunderland. This Sunday at 1.30pm, Newcastle play Sunderland in a Premier League game at St. James’ Park, Newcastle.

What should I do? Who should I support? Should I watch? Should I go to the game? Which end should I sit in? Who do I want to win? Do I remain neutral? Should I hope for a draw?
