Micky Burns, Aston Villa fans and John McNamee…

I couldn’t help but laugh when, near the end of the game against Aston Villa, the Newcastle United fans were singing: “They’re here, they’re there, they’re every f…ing where, empty seats, empty seats”I’m old enough to remember a song being sung to the same tune in the Leazes End about centre half Jo
