THE RED RADIO

Higgy's cooing after that Chelsea win. Clarky remains respectful as Daz Williams is happy to take a back seat on the back of Newcastle success in the NE derby.

Ry might be building his biceps but that doesn't stop the lads interfering with his house move. Steve has confidence in the Mags putting Pep's boys to the sword at St James' and Ted's missing Davey Lad being available for Black Cat selection, so Dave claims.

Ted unveils his brand spanking new brain-teaser, but it's just as hard as WTF. Ry's just about come back down to Terra-Firma and Steve's looking forward to the weekend, and Citeah!

Join the North East Footy crew as they build up to Boro's crucial semi final, reflect on a German legend and wonder what Jordan Henderson's next move will be.

Steve's sitting smug as Mackem Ted licks his wounds. Ry and Dave share the same pride of a decent Boro effort as they make a ridiculous NE footy claim. FA Cup action may be over, but the boys are back on form!

It's the eve of the Sunderland v Newcastle FA Cup derby so Ian Murtagh brings in one of the most experienced North East sports journalists John Gibson as well as a SAFC v NUFC virgin, the Sun's Oscar Paul.

Lee Clarke and Darren Williams step to the fore ahead of the SAFC v NUFC FA Cup derby. Higgy's focus is on how injuries are robbing Michael Carrick a chance to rotate his squad as Villa and Chelsea come to town across the next few days.

Twas the night before the Makem/Mag derby so Ry & Dave could sit back and smoke a big fat festive cigar. Ted, Steve and the Sunderland's Echo's "Jimmy Coppers" chew MASSIVE fat over bars, tickets and storylines. Turns out Villa pulled a fast one, so Boro will be without added Pazz-Azazzzz.

Former Boro striker Andy Campbell takes a look back at Boro's Christmas to New Year battles, and of course the forthcoming cup clashes with Aston Villa and Chelsea.

The boys are back in town, and don't we know it. The NE Footy Fat Club kicks off, Ted has What The Fact, Steve's got concerns over the Wear/Tyne derby and Ry's not wanting to talk Boro. 

The Christmas & New Year quick fire games are in full swing. Former NUFC striker Jim Pearson joins the lads to talk North East footy as Newcastle prepare for Anfield, Boro trip to Huddersfield and Sunderland head to rock bottom Rotherham.

Refs and VAR back in the headlines AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! Arteta not happy again. Boro and S'land are in action this afty and Newcastle prepare for the Titanic trip to Anfield. 

Join the North East Footy Breakfast crew as they chew over everything to do with North East Football plus Ry gives a masterclass in Spanish pronunciation. 

The boys are back after Christmas with VERY differing outcomes. Sunderland get a 'Beale' lift as Boro and Newcastle lick their festive wounds, and do the boys reflect that!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!  Ted, Ry, Steve, Dave & Daz all put the prezzies to one side to bring you 2 hours of mirth and festive merriment. Ry's Xmas Day is just about over, but there's the Dave v Ted WTF, Secret Santa (just wait for Daz's prezzie), Steve's Xmas joke and only a smattering of footy.

North East sports journo, Ian Murtagh's joined by Fly Me To The Moon fanzine Editor Rob Nichols and PA Sports Damien Spellman to chat North East footy.

Twas the night before Christmas (well a couple of nights) but Higgy, Clarky and Daz get together just before the big day to chew through North East footy. Higgy's flying, Lee Clarke's happy.... and then there's Daz Williams.

Twas the last show before Christmas, Ted's still out drinking but Steve, Ry, Daz and Dave held the festive fort. Dave gave gifts, Ry has the GOAT back, Steve lands another Xmas cracker joke and Daz goes all Geordie. 

Ted nicks off but we get the Sunderland lowdown from the Sunderland Echo's James Copley. Ry's getting carried away about beating Chelsea in the Semi's. Radio Dad hits back with another 'You Are The Ref' as he goes head-to-head with Steve and Ry.

Join the North East Footy Brekky lads as they are treated to some moving poetry from Ted. Steve tries hard to hide his disappointment in another cup defeat and Ry & Daz are top of the world, praying for Fulham in the draw tonight.

We Beally hope you enjoy this morning's North East Footy Breakfast as Ted comes to terms with his new manager and Steve, Ry and Daz get excited about the Cup games tonight!

Ted whips out his WTF. Radio Dad throws in his new "You Are The Ref", Ry's back on a high and Steve get's his derby match tickets. Oh yes, and SAFC look set to be getting in a new boss.

Ex-Boro striker Andy Campbell's scratching his head over Boro's current run of defeats but is confident things will click as soon as someone pulls on goalscoring boots.

Wow, what a week. Sunderland should be flying but cup ticket news and an impending management choice has the lads discussing what's happening. Boro and NUFC have to lick wounds and regroup.

Order, Order! Ry hits the guys with his Xmas quiz, but it doesn't go according to plan. Would you pick up the whistle as the call goes out for more refs and the boys look ahead to the weekend.
