Man these militant trade unions, they hate sporting freedom

Jordan has always hated him for some reason

 

 

 

“For some reason” - he’s foreign

Not for me - sell at earliest opportunity.

Even pre season vs Bilbao Ritchie played a lovely through ball for Wilson’s goal

What makes Murphy better than Ritchie? Which facet of his game do you think makes him a preferable option? Is it the never finishing a chance, constantly hitting the first man or being knocked off the ball easier than a wet towel?

Hes not

Who has contributed more assists and goals in a Newcastle shirt? One has under 3 in both categories, one doesn’t. 

Ritchie is better than Murphy.

 Of course but THERE'S NO ELSE available.

Then don’t make the sub, simple.

You think I see Murphy as an answer? Fact is Murphy and Wood were the only options from the bench and Fraser isn't really fit to play nowhere near 90 minutes.

So you agree with my original premise that he’s not good enough - cool.

And bring on who?

Nobody. Fatigued starters are better. What’s Murphy contributed positively as a Newcastle player in your opinion?

He needs to stop giving minutes to Murphy. Anybody can see he’s not good enough. Baffling.

Has he offered an explanation yet?

I don’t think it was as offensive as some are making out, just a theoretical premise…

Devils advocate time. I don’t agree with this, but over £200 million spent over two windows,  one win in 6 games. Pochetino unemployed. How long til the owners start to get a twitchy trigger finger? 

No time soon if they give any kind of fuck about their asset.

Burn has been immense for us since joining. I’m never disappointed to see him selected.

I don’t blindly support the royals and Andrew is a despicable individual, however the Queen has earned respect through her service to the country in my opinion. 

 

Yeh that’s fair enough - sorry, I hope I’m not coming across as a prick; I just enjoy debate because you learn that way. The aim of argument is not to “win” but to progress and self-improve!

Everyone just be mindful and respectful towards each other, cant believe i have to type that. 

I’m not sure it’s that simple. There are people who find the celebration of an institution that has, at the very least, been related to some pretty grotesque stuff (colonialism? Mass impoverishment?) fundamentally disrespectful. There are others who then find people who think that disrespectful. 
 

I would observe the silence but wouldn’t sing the anthem. I was raised not to as a child and I agree with my parents’ reasoning in teaching me not to. I’m certainly not singing it for Charles, who (if you followed the Panama papers leaks) is, at best, quite disingenuous when he talks about serving his subjects with love and devotion. 5 days after he said that he made his home staff redundant. 
 

This isn’t to pick a fight, but I hope I’m conveying that “be quiet and respect the moment” isn’t a stance that works for everyone. I don’t believe the royal family respect me so I don’t return the favour.

Absolutely but calling him out in front of his family whilst his mother was being carted up the Royal Mile was out of order. I would say that regarding anybody aswell, there’s a time and place.

I understand that sentiment and argument, but I think there’s room to also argue that there are very few situations where “subjects” are allowed near the family to actually make their views of them known; I also think doing so in that scenario was an act of courage given that he wasn’t likely to get that “audience” with media attention. 
 

I think beating him and throwing him on the floor and arresting him was absurd, although I do concede your time and place argument has merit. I think it’s a difficult nuance - it was simultaneously right and wrong, and necessary and unnecessary, which makes it hard. 
 

This is not meant as a criticism, it’s a genuine question from someone who feels no connection to them at all: what is about them that promotes strong feelings of national pride in you?

@Whitley magdo you acknowledge that Andrew is a child sex offender?

Fewmin. She wouldn't have gave a shit.

This so many times - there are so many things that have been cancelled which I really don’t think she would have wanted to be; not least enjoyment of sporting events and creation of atmosphere.

@Richhas a point though, as usual this has just split society into arguing so they couldn’t really win. Those of WF I’ve met aren’t idiots or kneejerk merchants; sure it’s a reasoned decision. With that said I personally think it’s the wrong one (but I’ve put fuck all into it like they have, so there).

Whoever said it might be time to think about selling Wilson… I’m starting to land there too. Love him but fundamentally broken (although knowing our luck we’d sell and he’d play 5 straight seasons without problem for somebody odious like Everton).

I wouldn’t, because you’d have to be him, and therefore you’d be the cuntiest of all the cunts.

Feel there has been a liberal amount of people calling them cunts on here.

 

Are any lawyers happy to call them cunts yet?

 

Not a lawyer, but reckon there is a legal basis to call them cunts and sue them for being legally speaking, cunts.

I am happy to tell you that, with my lawyer’s qualification in hand, they are indeed a bunch of cunts.
