Alan Shearer smiles as he cheekily praises Sunderland for rolling out red carpet in ‘men against boys’ game

“We don’t like each other,” he added. “And it’s pretty nasty but they are great games to play in.

“I mean, they might not thank me, but I really hope that Sunderland come up because Newcastle vs Sunderland games haven’t happened for such a long time that you do miss them, because they are great games to play in.”

With Sunderland crashing out of the FA Cup, Newcastle are now in the fourth round where they will face Fulham at Craven Cottage.
