Not quite the way that I thought I'd heard it, almost. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02bgqvw 35:38

I can't give an exact quote as I was driving at the time. He was interviews and they played probably 30 seconds of it at 07:30 this morning. They will probably play the full interview on talk sports tonight.

That's not real is it He was on Radio Newcastle this morning and said as much so yes.

"We play like Bayern Munich." No we don't Alan.

Which tweet? http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/taylor-tweet1.png I'd forgotten all about that.

Which tweet?

I'm glad this has nothing to do with NUFC, I would hate the idea of him playing for us. The thought of cheering anything he did is almost puke inducing as is the thought of him receiving massive sums of money. I'm all for offenders being given the chance to rehabilitate but the though of him potentially being idolised by some just doesn't sit well with me.

I wouldn't say either were instrumental and Ryan Taylor has Jonas to thank for protecting him while he played on the left, we virtually had two left-backs.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30066568 Miliband attacks Sports Direct over zero-hours contracts Labour leader Ed Miliband has accused Sports Direct of using Victorian practices for hiring thousands of workers on zero-hours contracts. He told the West Midlands Labour Party conference the firm is a "terrible place to work". Labour claims 17,000 of its 20,000 UK employees are not guaranteed regular hours. Mr Miliband promised to ban "the exploitation of zero-hours contracts". Sports Direct, one of the UK's biggest employers, previously said it was continuing to review "core employment procedures". Zero-hours contracts do not guarantee regular work for employees. Sick pay is often not included although holiday pay should be, in line with working time regulations. 'No security' The BBC's political correspondent Chris Mason said research conducted by Labour concluded that 17,000 of the company's 20,000 employees in the UK were hired on the controversial contracts. Speaking to party members in Coventry, Mr Miliband took aim at what he calls "a zero-zero economy - of zero-hours contracts and zero tax for those at the top". Mr Miliband pledged that, under a Labour government, "if you work regular hours you will have a legal right to a regular contract". Business and Enterprise Minister Matthew Hancock insisted that the government was already taking action. "We're already tackling the abuse of zero-hours contracts - after 13 years of Labour doing absolutely nothing about it," Mr Hancock said. He also accused some Labour councils of continuing to use the contracts. Zero-hours contracts Zero-hours contracts, or casual contracts, allow employers to hire staff with no guarantee of work. They mean employees work only when they are needed by employers, often at short notice. Their pay depends on how often they work. Some zero-hours contracts oblige workers to take the shifts they are offered; others do not. Sick pay is often not included, although holiday pay should be, in line with working time regulations. Focusing on the high street sports chain, the Labour leader said Sports Direct "has predictable turnover, it has big profits but, for too many of its employees, it is a terrible place to work". "We cannot go on with an economy that allows businesses to use zero-hours contracts as the standard way of employing people month after month, year after year." "These Victorian practices have no place in the 21st Century." Sports Direct did not comment on Mr Miliband's remarks, but highlighted a recent statement in which the firm set out changes it was making. A spokesman said: "The company will continue the process of reviewing, updating and improving our core employment documents and procedures across our entire business beyond its existing compliant framework."

It looks like his shitty brand is going to get some bad publicity today regarding zero hour contracts.

Newcastle is not as cold as some people think, places further south and further from the coast are colder because the sea actually keeps us warmer as it acts like a radiator. The sea temperature is warmer than the air temperature would normally be and it boosts our temperature. I've lived down south and it was usually warmer in the summer and often colder in the winter. http://www.worldweatheronline.com/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-weather-averages/Tyne-And-Wear/GB.aspx http://www.worldweatheronline.com/Birmingham-weather-averages/West-Midlands/GB.aspx

Sammy needs to go out on loan for a full season, he makes far too many errors and needs to do that at a lower level where he might get away with it. He seems to fall over every time the wind changes direction and often seems to trip over his own legs. I can't work out if that's him looking for a free kick or if he genuinely can't synchronise his leg movements.

Jesus wept.

The arrogant prick came on to the pitch at the end of the game and I was giving him dogs abuse, I can't stand him, Carver did the same and was given as much stick.

Electrocucion lessons would be better.

I just don't get why people are dicks on away days like, it's essentially a load of people coming into your hometown, they'd hate it if it happened here, and rightly so When you see "Williamson" on a shirt you have a good idea of what you're dealing with. Add "We hate Sunderland" every other song to top it off.

Aye, it's passed the ground heading away from the M5 and probably half a mile away from the ground.

The Royal Oak.

Pissed kids already getting threatened with getting thrown out of the pub. The pool table isn't for stading on, unsurprisingly.

We're parked just off the M5.

Are you at the ground already?

He's deserved the sack every other month of the year so hopefully he'll not get anything this month either.

None of our other players get into those positions, nor is it frankly their jobs to do it to the extent of Sissoko whose stats are pretty s*** for an attacking midfielder. We work on the attacking side of our game for 1 day a week, it's no wonder our movement is generally shite more often than not. Give this squad a positive manager and you would see a totally different game.

Football is a closed shop these days and nobody wants to rock the boat and that includes those getting paid to report on the game. They are all getting well paid and they are more than happy for the status quo to remain and it stinks. It's far too sterile and frauds like Pardew are given a far too easy ride and even the locals who have been banned seem to want to crawl back into bed with the shitty club that it now is.
