League Cup Trophy Celebration: Saturday 29th March

Bruno is an utter legend đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł -
Might've appeared less of a hatchet piece if it had also taken a panel to discuss the scandal Standard Chartered has been embroiled in, or maybe the FSG links to US Arms firms too. But as it is itâs just nuance-less.

Not even sure it was that tbh, was more a case of once Man City threw their chequebook on the table we were fucked

Eddie Howe - Cup Winning NUFC Manager

Aye and typically the format changes the year after, which wouldâve meant weâd have made more money if we'd qualified this year instead of last. Itâs just bad luck on the clubs part, overachieving CL qualification early IMO -
Anthony Gordon: will return to training "in next few days" (Howe)

That was utter idiocy, spend some time mentalising how much youâve let yourself and your teammates down with that petulance Anthony -
Newcastle United Vs. Nottingham Forest - 23/02/25 @ 14:00 (Live on Sky)

And as Iâve just said the fact that those 17 year old fans live in a North East, that looks like it does now is a direct result of things that happened in the early â80âs, therefore is it so wild for those resentments to still exist? Especially if like many from the area, their parents or grandparents that they still have daily contact with mention it frequently. God forbid that 17 year olds understand their local history and why theyâre disadvantaged compared to others in the same country. The Nottingham bit rankles with me on another level too, my first job was as a lab technician for a Pharmaceutical subsidiary of BASF who had a plant in Cramlington. This was largely made possible by EU subsidy, but most of those in the good jobs were merely transplanted from their sister plant in Nottingham, with only entry level positions or plant work offered to locals, so they kept taking the piss even in the late 90âs -

Speak for yourself, I"m the son of a miner who was alive during it. And regardless if your were born or not at the time, if youâre from the North East youâve lived through the direct consequences -
As someone who used to volunteer for Trailblazers https://www.trailblazersmentoring.org.uk and did a placement in Peterhead jail during my MH Nursing degree, Iâd really have to suggest you refine your search criteria in AirBNB if theyâre anything like a U.K. jail. Honestly wish people would actually volunteer to help in these places rather than take bollocks written in the Mail at face value, as jails are yet another thing that have seen insufficient public investment for the past several decades. Theyâre overcrowded, filthy and falling apart and lots of the education and rehabilitation is almost non-existent and often reliant an charities such as Trailblazers. Yet another case of being too tight to invest the relatively small amount in terms of staff, to try to prevent reoffending (or better yet stop offending before it starts with the youth outreach programs etc) but quite happy to pay the vast quantities to keep people locked up and stuck in cycles of repeat incarceration.

Very true, I guess youâve not seen whatâs happening to any public official who has criticised Musk recently then. I guess the fact that the direction of travel in Saudi Arabia is towards being more open and progressive even if not at the speed lots would like, as opposed to the apparent "Leaders of the Free World" TM sleepwalking into an Authoritarian nightmare is why it shocks and annoys more

Think Trump and his forces undertake extra-judicial murder on a daily basis, itâs just called a targeted drone strike or Special Ops mission. Heck our own SAS are currently under investigation for the brutal murder of civilians. How many journalists have Israel vaporised in the last 18 months? Thereâs not much I agree with Peter Hitchens on, but focussing on one specific type of murder whilst being oblivious or ambivalent to others is daft. (Was an interview at the time of the Syria gas attacks and the point he made was if you set that as your redline, youâve effectively given every dictator free rein to murder their people as long as they stick to conventional weapons)
