  1. http://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/blog/52000-reasons-to-start-your-own-business?utm_source=Virgin&utm_medium=linkedin

     

    I started my first business as a teenager, so entrepreneurship, particularly in young people, has always been something close to my heart.

     

    Going into business for yourself is a really exciting and rewarding career option, especially in tough economic times like today.

     

    And that's why we are proud to support the UK Government's new Start-Up Loans scheme. So proud in fact that we are willing to put it in black and white.

     

    If you're aged between 18-24 and you live in the North East, Virgin Money is giving you the opportunity to pitch your new business to the public for the chance to sponsor Newcastle United against Liverpool at St James' Park in April.

     

    If you’re sitting on a great business idea now could be the perfect time to do something about it. The North East needs more young entrepreneurs. So sign up for Start-Up.

     

    The North East is the community that gave the world the lightbulb, the steam engine, Newcastle Brown Ale and much else besides. We can't wait to see what it's businesses of the future look like.

    It's good of Virgin Money to be still working with the club after how they ditched them without prior warning, it's also great to see them putting back into the local community and encouraging people to work and start their own businesses.

     

    Plenty of big company are only out for themselves, and yes Virgin too has had it's controversies but with it's various different causes it does a lot of good, it will be sad day when Richard Branson stops being their leader because once he does it goes from being a well respected company doing good causes to just another company out there to stifle competition and make the money without investing in good causes.

     

    I thought the contract included the possibility of the sponsorship ending early so it's not like the club did anything untoward

  2. Really needs to improve on his kicking.

     

    His distribution is f***ing awful. If I was Pardew I'd fine him every time he boots it long (other than a GK). Have him releasing the ball quickly to either Santon, Coloccini or Simpson.

     

    I suspect the decision to boot it long actually comes from Pardew
