Chatting with Gary Lineker and Micah Richards, our former No.9 defined why he would “completely” wish to see Sunderland return, feeling the Tyne and Put on derbies are sensible for the followers, nice for gamers to be concerned in and two fixtures to sit up for each season…together with a “assured six factors” for Newcastle!
