Liverpool vs Newcastle: The Geordie Christmas appeal that’ll make you smile
Liverpool take on Newcastle United as the Geordies travel south to Anfield for Boxing Day, and this Toon Christmas appeal will melt your heart.
There has been a lot of conflicting idea surrounding opposition fans singing ‘feed the Scousers’ at away games, but finally this one Magpie has got the right idea.
With food banks in every major city across the country, performing a song about poverty and revelling in it must be something we finally put in the bin.
It’s abhorrent at the best of times, but most certainly around Christmas where many families struggle with the financial pressure surrounding the holiday. But thankfully, this Newcastle fan has seen some sense.

The Magpies are currently five points above the relegation zone, but Rafa Benitez has definitely not been in a very good mood. The former Reds boss has already said it’ll take an act of divine intervention to keep his side up, while Mo Diame confirmed their boring intentions.
But Liverpool have Trent Alexander-Arnold back in business, while Naby Keita won’t be kept out of the Boxing Day game after picking up a few niggles against Wolves on Friday night.
This may be a good time for Jurgen Klopp to rotate his squad around, especially with Arsenal and Manchester City coming soon in the fixture list. Virgil van Dijk and Dejan Lovren have little chance of that, however, as the club only have two fit central defenders.
Whether or not the song singing is prompted through team rivalry or not, it really is time to put it to bed as we enter into 2019.

So lets hope Newcastle fans show a bit of Christmas spirit, remember their own that are reliant on food banks and kick this horrible trend straight into the Irish Sea.
