Hibs

IK Start
Central Coast Mariners

If it wasn't for the fact some of my life's best memories had taken place at the Riverside, I would think it's a bit of a dump tbh.
Has a few nice unique touches like the Ayresome Park gates, statues etc but the actual stadium itself isn't the best.
Had tickets for a couple of years and really looking forward to it, the Tonga game yesterday v PNG was great. Highly doubt it being more than half full but the atmosphere should be good anyway! As someone previously mentioned, Newcastle was full of Yorkshire folk Saturday so hopefully we have...

McNair is good when the game is in front of him, which makes him a good ball playing CB - but you can see he doesn't relish the nitty gritty of defending either.
IMO he's not great in midfield when he has to play on the half turn more and possess a half decent turning circle.

There's a lot of great things about living in...
Newcastle will of course always be their main rivals but there is enough of a mix in workplaces round here to know they absolutely hate us.
They only play it down because we generally beat them.
