Newcastle United Vs. Nottingham Forest - 23/02/25 @ 14:00 (Live on Sky)

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 you’re from the North East you’ve 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, I’d really have to suggest you refine your search criteria in AirBNB if they’re 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. They’re 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 you’ve not seen what’s 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, it’s 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? There’s 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, you’ve effectively given every dictator free rein to murder their people as long as they stick to conventional weapons)

Im not to up to date on cloning these days, but surely it’d be 20 odd year until the clone Botman was ready to start games?

They couldn’t directly funnel money in, but they could dramatically increase sponsorships from related parties, which would increase our spending power significantly. This would not be prohibited by UEFA's squad cost ratio rules -
Ah the right wing comedian, that makes Michael McIntyre look fucking hilarious by comparison 🤦🏻♂️ the bloke is about as funny as rectal cancer

Neither do Chelsea, I'd argue I’ve never seen a Spurs top anywhere during my global travels and Arsenal is only really big In West Africa. To be honest the only English clubs with real international reach are Man Utd and Liverpool. Give it another decade of shite and I’d imagine a lot of the plastic international Man Utd fans will happily switch allegiance too

There’s also a real possibility that we did go in for some of these players, but Bournemouth could guarantee them first team football, something that we couldn’t do.

Yeah, surely anyone who has seen this stuff would’ve been NDA'd up to the gills.

How many players currently on the payroll have contracts that expire in the summer? Lascelles, Wilson, Krafth, Schar. We’re about to sell Miggy, possibly Kelly before the window shuts and I wouldn’t be surprised if Longstaff is sold in the summer. Plus as others have said we may also increase our revenue too particularly if we qualify for European football. I don’t think it’s quite the doomsday situation you’re painting

Doesn’t back off far enough for you I take it Alan 🤣

Both him and Hall have been guilty of this in recent weeks. I know it’s decades since I played football at any decent level, but when playing as a defender I was always told never let the ball bounce, always head it even if it’s into touch

The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Champions League

They’re down to bare bones at the minute and I’d say the intensity they play at will see them pick up more injuries. They’re still a cracking side but they’re as vulnerable as us to finding it difficult if they get more injuries to key players -
Did he drag his studs down the City players leg then like?
-
Dunno like think Bournemouth are just in one at the minute, wouldn’t be surprised to see Forest back to winning ways again next game
-
how long is Evanilson out for?
-
Would be nice, but can’t see us looking at him unless it’s a longer loan or with an obligation

Years of steroid abuse shrinks your balls and your brain, so not shocking at all really

This is going to be like the Derby record low points season isn’t it? FML 🤦🏻

Southampton vs. Newcastle United: 25/01/25 @ 15:00 (No UK TV)

I hope I’m wrong, but I’ve had this down as a Derby 07/08 type affair given how bad they’ve been this year. It always seems to be us that gifts teams points
