WEAR-TYNE DERBY | North-East Journalist Mark Douglas On Sunday's Clash

This weekend's game between Sunderland and Newcastle is creeping closer and closer, so today we're joined by a Haway The Podcast debutant - Mark Douglas, the Northern Football Correspondent for i News. He covers both clubs in the north east and has done for many years, so he knars his onions... On today's agenda: Lots has changed since Sunderland were last in the Premier League, and Mark remembers what those days were like... But now things are better, what's it like being around the club these days, and how does it compare with what's going on up the road? The two teams go into the game in a good, relatively equal footing - what is this going to mean for how the game will play out? What does Mark think about the upcoming transfer window, and what has he heard on the grapevine from agents about Sunderland's spending power?
