Nick Barnes is BBC Radio Newcastle's football commentator for all Sunderland AFC matches...whether they be at the traditional time of 3pm on a Saturday afternoon (very rare these days!), mid-week or Sunday.

He claims not to remember any playground games from his school days, although for some strange reason he recalls his Dickensian headmistress!

It just sounded like "it's not fair when the opposition don't play the way we want them to" to me.
