THE CAT, THE RED & THE TOON The Cat, The Red & The Toon

Ian takes a closer look at Boro this week and casts a big eye on non-league. The Northern Echo's Dom Shaw joins Ian as he drives to deepest darkest Wales, and by Mark Carruthers, the man with a big finger on the pulse of the non-league world.

All 3 North East 'Big 3' lost their games at the weekend, but plans are still afoot for the summer. Can Sunderland & Boro keep hold of their talent and is Europe still a real possibility for the Mags.

Ted does a turn on the catwalk as he gives away Higgy's, Clarky's and Daz Williams' shorts and socks. Steve's praying the lads don't place the kiss of death on the Toon again and Ry gets hugs from all

Join Steve and Ry for another fantastic North East Footy Breakfast chewing over last night's disastrous result for the Geordies in the big smoke, the other surprise results and which footballer you would like to see in a film. Also can a salary cap ever work in football ? 

Join our Donna and Charlotte from Pimms and Needles for another two hours of chat and laughter. With the latest showbiz news from Will Foxx, another hilarious 'Epic Fail', some rather dubious 'Agony Aunt' questions and two rather very special guests - First Time Flyers superstars Vicki and Poppy are here to talk about their musical careers and their  amazing brand new single. Don't miss this one.

Steve digs into the X-Files, Ry thinks everything sucks, Ted's been rather sensible for once and "Where is Dave's bag?"
