Newcastle United fans are turning away from their team.

The Daily Mail says there are still tickets available for the Tyne-Wear derby on Sunday, supposedly the biggest game of the season for Newcastle and Sunderland supporters.

With both teams far from safe in this season's tight Premier League, you would think north-east bragging rights would be high on the agenda.

But no, it seems Toon fans won't be rushing to St James' Park at the weekend for the chance to witness another shambolic performance and a rant from manager Joe Kinnear.
