Spotted on the way to yesterday's Black Cats v Magpies match - a Sunderland fan with a dead magpie slung over his shoulder, attached to an SAFC club tie.

By all accounts, the bloke had been storing it in his freezer for over a week, keeping it especially for the big day against the Geordie enemy.

As OPEN GOAL is based in Sunderland, we're far too close to the heart of the conflict to be objective, so... is this sort of thing considered normal anywhere else? Anyone? feedback@opengoalmagazine.net awaits your views.
