Today's Fiver, referring to the SMB
Banana And Custard Deckchair Away Kit; and Steven Gerrard

CANARY IN A COALMINE
The first time any Newcastle side got to wear it, the youth team beat Ashington 1-0. "There was no excuse for not picking out our team-mates," joked one youngster. When the seniors got their hands on it, they thrashed Darlington 7-2. "We won in it, so the lads like it," deadpanned Chris Hughton. The next time out they got into a 20-man half-time brawl with Huddersfield that ended with Habib Beye nursing what the Newcastle Chronicle described as a "nasty scrape to his midriff". So when the Fiver heard today was the day the lucky Tyneside public finally got their chance to buy the team's new banana-and-custard deckchair away kit (
According to various reports and several gloating posts on Sunderland fan forums, however, that interest was limited to only three people this morning - although that may be because most Geordie males between the ages of 18 and 80 prefer showing off their moobs while watching their team play. Still, it's worth posing the question: is everything at Newcastle struggling to find a buyer at the moment?
Going against 10 years of established practice, the Fiver undertook exhaustive research, ringing the club's three stores to see how many each has sold. "I can't pass information on like that, sorry," said a nice woman at St James' Park. "It's going down well. If you want any more information you need to contact the press office," added a cheery lady at the Monument Mall outlet. "We wouldn't discuss that anyway," chirped someone at the club's shop in the Metro Centre,
claiming: "It's very popular."
Perhaps fans are waiting until tomorrow when, for an hour from 1.30pm, players will be on hand at the ground to pose for photographs, sign autographs and, if necessary, physically manhandle fans to the tills in an attempt to shift a few units. Incidentally, the club website lauds "the stylish new strip" whose "design is original, distinctive and without doubt full of colour and energy". And how have they celebrated this? By knocking 20% off its price.

From the Press Association, Thursday:
The Football Association is to investigate the trouble which flared during and after Tuesday night's friendly clash between Huddersfield and Newcastle.
Match referee Jon Moss has included details of the bust-ups in his report, and disciplinary chiefs are now looking into the matter.
An FA spokesman said: "It has been reported to us and we are looking into it."
Up to 20 players were involved in a melee at half-time in the game at the Galpharm Stadium after Magpies defender Habib Beye and Terriers counterpart Andy Butler and then skipper Peter Clarke became embroiled in a heated exchange.
That incident is understood to have continued in the tunnel, and there were unseemly scenes too on the final whistle with Fabricio Coloccini and Lee Novak locking horns.
