The world where Thomas Cook isn't a bank.

I don't even really see these as the main goals for the next Labour government, there's far more achievable things they can set their sights on without having to go for the super radical stuff. All this shit is going to do is scare the moderates.

“Organiser Jax Higginson said “It’s not just about taking our clothes off.” Of course it isn’t.

Horrific, for balance here are the stats from the fixture at home to Brighton that we lost last season that Luke and this Ugly Mackem bloke love to hold up as an example of why Bruce is comparable to Rafa:

Fuck off

Almiron looked great playing under Rafa with his pace creating bags of space for Rondon & Perez. Wonder what’s changed? 🤔

Treat people like the adults they aren’t- tell them Brexit is political, financial, and social suicide. They’ll get over it, most will be dead soon anyway.

These are attendance hours we're talking about. My time actually spent working would be reduced in proportion.

Sad Makem Bastards.Says it all.

monbiot is brilliant

Also, this provides the possibility of a mandate for Remain. If you go into the election undecided you don't have that, and that is hugely important.

Don't worry if you're stuck abroad. Gordon Brittas tribute act Dominic Raab is on the case to make sure everyone gets home safely. What could possibly go wrong?

That's the government line. The money requested was a contingency fund that would have allowed a takeover by the multi-billion pund company Fosan. The idea that this was inevitable is being exaggerated by the government for spin purposes. The same banks who were demanding the contingency fund ironically happened to be bailed out themselves by the government in the past.

Honestly not surprised by anything they do anymore. They’re probably one of the scummiest fan bases going, RTG is fucking vile (the mods often go and delete most of the bad threads after they’ve ran their course, see threads supporting Adam Johnson, saying horrific things about Jimmy Hill etc etc).

Rest in Deep

in fairness, watford did spend a lot of time kicking off!

We had less possession at home to Brighton yesterday than Watford did against City.

Too soon?

Even the earth’s core isn’t that irony

Joelinton's transfer stinks more an more each week. Lad tries but if he's worth 40m then the game is a lot more fucked than I thought. Wilhems is fucking shit as well.

There you gan lads, Luke totally ignores the fact that in those losses/draws early on under Rafa the team showed shape and ideas compared to the games so far this season that have showed absolutely no semblance of a plan. We could barely muster up a chance, only scoring a goal that has since been declared an error that VAR should have overruled, against Watford ffs. I get he’s playing devils advocate and sticking up for his mate but he’s making himself look like he knows nothing about football.

loathe to give these horrible cunts much attention, but just quickly dipped in to the world of third division football to see they managed a last minute draw with -9 points bolton. in these dark days i suppose it's a small crumb of comfort that the apparently newly crowned richest club in the entire world.... ever, are looking up to wycombe wanderers and fleetwood town!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-49783851 Whilst this is tragic for all those involved, it’s also fucking hilarious. What a twat

Give Bruce a chance

Well, he is a fucking divvy, so in that regard they are correct

The roof is about to come of SJP. It’s what all geordies have been dreaming of.

With no chance of parole.

Give Bruce time.

Ugly Mackems has to be delighted that don’t have to watch Rafa’s negative tactics anymore...

We'll all remember where we were and what we were doing on the night Andy Carroll made the bench at St James' against Brighton.

Apathy?! Fucking apathy?!?! Knight Ryder, former toon army footsoldier, Trinity mirror regional sportswriter of the year, shit hot NUFC news and Minister of the Steve Bruce anti-apathy Department. "Ya fucking welcome, Brucie. A'hm expecting a one on one interview on Monday morn...err, afternoon. Fucking capiche, wor kid?"

Give Bruce a chance.

Dropping Bairstow is what should happen. Irrespective of who of the other two options replaces him behind the stumps. That’s not binning him forever but there’s no way he should keep his place on current form. I actually think Foakes provides the best answer in terms of keeping and batting at 7/8. We’ve got more than enough attacking players (a place could probably still be found for Buttler) and Foakes can hang around in a style not dissimilar to Jack Russell. He also averages about 40 in first class cricket iirc. Bairstow has the talent but I’d force him to be a specialist batsman or nothing. He’s obviously a bit of a bell-end who has been pandered to by Root and the selectors though so he’ll probably retain his place.

Well that Peaky Blinders finale was a big disappointment.
