Posted July 16th, 2011 by Hugh de Payen | 47 Comments

Trouble at the Darlington v Newcastle United pre-season friendly receives condemnation from the press and the clubs themselves.

I’ll keep this brief as I don’t want it take the gloss of the fantastic win at Arsenal, but I also feel that it is important enough to cover in an article.
