People underestimate juat how far disconnected Newcastle is from most of England. It's fucking miles away and transport links are shit

Most manchester/liverpool players live in rich areas of Cheshire or merseyside/greater Manchester, and they can get to london or anywhere they need in like 90-120 minutes. Newcastle is a lot longer, and its quicker to get to Glasgow or Edinburgh than it is London

It's also noticeably colder in Newcastle
