      Stunned ex-Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini slammed the “embarrassing” makeover, insisting: “This will be mentioned by Newcastle fans in 50 years.”
      Even Sunderland owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus admitted he was “disgusted and hurt” at the “inappropriate” signs.
      The astonishing refurb sparked a massive backlash, prompting the club’s chiefs to admit “a serious error in judgment” and promising to investigate how it was allowed to happen.
      Livid Mackems turned on French-Swiss owner Louis-Dreyfus, 27, for “rolling out the black and white carpet” after images emerged of the bar emblazoned in pro-Magpies signs.

      There was a ‘Cheer up Peter Reid’ slogan behind the bar in tribute to the derogatory Toon song which ridicules the ex-Sunderland boss.
      Another mocked the Sunderland chant ‘Keep the red flag flying high’ by replacing it with ‘Keep the black and white flag flying high’.
      If that were not enough, there were also ‘We are United’ signs and another which had the Wearside greeting ‘Ha’way’ crossed out and replaced by the Tyneside version ‘Howay’.
      Gabbiadini, 55, told BBC Radio Newcastle: “We’ve got a group who’ve taken over the club who you would think would have a bit more knowledge of how football works.

      “There are people from the region on the board.
      “The owner, his club was involved in one of the biggest rivalries in French football with his family’s club, and we’ve opened ourselves up to this. I don’t believe it.”
      A number of Sunderland season ticket holders were already angry after being moved to accommodate the 6,000-strong travelling Toon Army.
      And the redecoration came after around 700 Geordies each splashed out £600 for a hospitality seat in the Black Cats Bar for the first Tyne-Wear derby in nearly eight years.
      Last night Louis-Dreyfus said: “I would like to apologise to everyone associated with Sunderland for the events that have unfolded today.
      “Like our supporters, I was disgusted and hurt by the pictures circulating of the inappropriate signs that have now been ripped down.
      “I will personally make sure we make the necessary changes because it is clear there are many areas where we need to be better.”

      The horrific video was shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, and shows the group punching and kicking the young fan while he is lying on the ground.
      As he finally gets to his feet, he is then kicked again and some members of the group can be heard laughing.
      It’s understood the fan’s hearing aid was also broken after the horror attack.

      Police confirmed that the 18-year-old was taken to Victoria Hospital for treatment.
      Both clubs have since released statements blasting the ugly scenes after the match.
      Dunfermline Athletic confirmed they are aware of the video circulating on social media and said the club condemns all forms of violence.
      And any supporter found to have taken part in the attack will be banned from East End Park.

      “We will work with Raith Rovers to ensure that the supporter involved receives the support they need.
      “Any supporter found to have taken part in this horrible act will be banned from KDM Group East End Park.”
      Last night, Raith Rovers posted their statement on social media which read: “We are aware of an incident involving one of our supporters being assaulted after today’s match.
      “We have contacted the supporter to check on their well-being and to see how we can provide support in any way possible.
      “The incident has been reported to the police and we will work with Dunfermline Athletic to identify the offenders.”

      The City manager said they should share “not so much on social media — the less they know what you are doing the better. People are waiting. Waiting to see where you are”.
      Grealish’s partner Sasha Attwood and up to ten relatives were at his £5.6million Cheshire home on Wednesday night when they heard burglars upstairs.
      They pressed a panic alarm before the raiders fled with £1million of watches and gems, despite extensive perimeter fencing and security.
      Grealish, 28, who was playing away at Everton, had only just moved in to the property.

      The player was battered after confronting four raiders who broke into his home in Hale, Greater Manchester, while he was there with his family.
      The Spanish boss said of the spate of break-ins: “It has ­happened to Manchester United players as well. I don’t know much about London but it’s happened there.
      “They have security. But unfortunately it’s happened — it’s happened many times.
      “In the UK, in Catalonia where my family lives, many things happen. Today you have to be careful, definitely.
      “Unfortunately it happened with Joao Cancelo, which was so scary because the family was being attacked.
      “Jewellery, money, whatever — it’s tough — but the family being there is tough to process for Jack, as it was with Joao.”

      Fans say ‘she didn’t even acknowledge it, poor bloke’ as Marc Webber’s hilarious festive Final Score update blanked

      The presenter made no response but perhaps she was too stunned by what she heard as Marc Webber conjured a musical update to Stevenage’s winCredit: BBC
      The former Sun man went viral after SINGING an impromptu version of the XMAS class.
      As the Beeb’s show went to Stevenage following their final goal in a 3-0 win, Webber warbled his lyrical response.
      Bravely and brilliantly, he crooned: “He’s Elliott List, His goal made it thrice, Reid in two minutes, Then a Roberts delight, Stevenage lead Northampton 3-0.”
      Unfortunately there was no reference to Webber’s efforts in the studio – as the presenter carried on as normal.

      But one listener pondered of the song: “How can something be so bad that it’s amazing.”

      “I used to present the Northampton Town show on BBC Radio Northampton until a couple of years ago. Some Cobblers fans have been messaging me saying, ‘Not happy our defeat has been highlighted – but it was funny!'”
      And in fact Webber’s musical Boxing Day banter has given him a festive fan club.
