He was mocked for it because he was a massive fanny rat who loved it then used it as an excuse tbh

Ahh the myth about the weather. You ever spent a November in Genoa (baltic), or an overnight in New York? Bollocks man it’s a few fucking degrees here and there

Aye, they even have a cracking bridge there too.

Massive wages we can’t offer in Pedro’s case

jenas said newcastle was a goldfish bowl. we mocked him for it, but there's something in it. it's a one city club and it must be impossible to go out as a footballer and not be mobbed by fans. some players (bruno etc) buy into it and love it. for others, it's probably off-putting. in london, no one looks up from their phone - forget about people saying hello or making eye contact, so it's probably a lot easier for a well-known footballer to move around like a "normal" person.

I’ve lived half my life in Newcastle and half in South East (about 60-90 mins train into London) if I was a 23 year old with no ties to either area I’d choose London. If I was 31 and settled and liked walking my dog - I may choose Newcastle.

Well coming from Blyth (sorry Seaton Sluice) London must seem like Shambhala to you

the big city is appealing to a lot of people. london gates a lot of hate, sometimes justifiably so, but you will never get bored there. newcastle is a beautiful city but it is small and the weather will put off a lot of players, whether we like to admit that or not.

Aye it's fucking great, but you don't have to live there or play for one of the dull clubs to participate in the place ffs

Orrrr, live in a swanky area of London, and not have to commute, fly or get a chauffeur driven limo (Who the fuck gets limos other than wanky 16yr olds at their Prom anyway?!). London is a global capital, and in the UK it is unrivalled for variety of food, shopping, culture ( I know, I know) and nightlife options for young twatty millionaires. It's also a major transport hub for Europe and the rest of the world. There's over 250 flights to Dubai every week from London, 63 to Paris a day.

London is class if you’re rich. It’s also great for footballers who can just sink into the background and not get recognised everywhere they go.

Heard some ITK info last night. Two maybe three big deals are expected to be completed early next week. The club are just waiting on Andrew beginning the site maintenance

That big M&Ms shop as well

Madam Tussauds. PL footballers can’t fucking get enough of it.

What the fuck is the draw of London? If you are wealthy beyond the dreams of most human beings just fucking commute to London for your social shenanigans ffs. You can fly there, go in a chauffeur driven limo, stay in the most expensive hotel you want rather than playing for some shite club with another 5 of you on the bench

Aye, why can’t they produce a shirt that matches my exact expectation of how it should look? Had anyone mentioned recently about how entitled boomers are?

I know. I just think they’d renege on that promise once they didn’t need PR. A bloke who cosied up to Trump isn’t interested in PR from the point of view of it being more democratic

Well he spent ages trying to become an MP. Only to not actually do the job once it happened. Much like when he was an MEP. So the point about whether he wants to govern / actually put the time in is a good one

It’s a nice dose of nostalgia for them back to when they used to spend big money under Ellis Short which resulted in those glory days of circling the PL drain like the turd that wouldn’t flush.

I want to be clear here that I'm not saying I would take Reform Gloom said it was a shame Labour wasn't going to implement PR and I mused that Reform at least have it squarely on their manifesto, and whatever you may think of them part of their angle is being reliable against what they promise. Their manifesto references being a 'contract' with the voters, so I think we'd have to acknowledge that they do indeed intend to implement some of this and PR is quite probably one of the easiest ones because it doesn't really cost anything compared to 90% of the rest of it. If they win I think they'll bring it in. Doesn't make it worth them winning, but it is a silver lining.

Personally think it should be an article.

two words: money and london
