Here was me thinking Corbyn was the threat to national security

That the posh version of Faliraki?

I’ve only been to Rhodes the once but it’s a large, interesting island well worth exploring. As for places to stay I went to Pefkos which is just another family resort that’s been overdeveloped and was once just a quiet fishing village. It made a decent base and had some nice restaurants etc but it’s about as ‘Greek’ as I am. I’d hire a car wherever you are. Rhodes Old Town is amazing (largest intact walled medieval town in Europe I think). Accommodation is limited but I know a lot of places exist in the directly adjacent new town. Lindos is worth checking out. There’s a nice, albeit busy, sheltered beach and there’s an acropolis to explore. At night it has a nice vibe with lots of rooftop restaurants and the acropolis is lit up. The west coast is wild, windy and unspoilt. It’s dotted with ruined crusader castles and there’s also a mountainous interior. I haven’t done this but day trips to Symi and the Turkish mainland are possible. Enjoy

Aye and Cattermole is still fucking fleecing them I think Poyet raised similar issues about the drinking culture to no avail

Thanks to all those people watching him on YouTube

I know most of them hate Short because they have zero perspective but it’s difficult to imagine them having a better owner or anyone being as fair as he was about the sale etc.

Another foreign import. Appropriately

Can’t imagine why you voted Leave

I know he’s talented but I never realise he was a world class sailor

I bet he’s put a few off signing

As ever, the appalling commercial revenue figures show the ‘running a club like a business’ bollocks is precisely that.

It was acceptable in Italia

Aye, I thought it must’ve been when Ardilles was manager. Just looks like a bit of grass on a housing estate where we’d have played when we were kids

It’s certainly ambiguous enough for that to be the case. A bit like ‘every penny the club generates’ patter

Aye, but enough about Adam Johnson

Yeah, he did well. He’s benefitting from being coached by Benitez but it’s a testament to him that absorbed what he’s been taught also. I also think that playing as one of a back 3 suits him perfectly

It was at least a yellow just for the foul even without the other factors.

Gene is no longer on the turnstiles at Heaton Stan btw, in case that was putting anyone off going

Aye, given where they are in the league at this point in the season it was massive game for them. Only not for the reasons the mackems think it was

Pre-season friendly?

Hope not

As an aside, Heaton Stannington had 400+ there on Saturday, albeit with Billingham town taking about 200 to see them win the Northern League Second Division. Still a hell of a crowd for that level (especially with Newcastle at home).

To be fair, he’s on his 8th pint of blue pop

If you say so, Lee

That sort of mild piss-taking by Newcastle fans seems to be about the only thing the mods on there take issue with.
