Took me ages to work out why I was being dragged into this. To be fair, Maguire was an alright defender then he went to a toxic environment. He is not the only one who has 'failed' under the same circumstances and in some respects, he has faired better than others. I would hope, if I was a professional footballer, I would use common sense and turn down Man U but they still have a massive name and there is a chance to cement your name for years to come.

I cannot even feel bad. Spain deserved it. We were poor. Needed subs sooner. I just don't care which is such a sad way to feel.

You really have become my favourite poster haha

I can now see why @LongTimeAdmirerwants Foden on the left. He's clearly out of his depth tonight. Maybe she is right about Gordon as well.

That is gutting. Absolutely gutting.

Do you think the elbow caught him before this? Pure accident.

My initial view of that was a pen and I wasn't not convinced by the replay.

Was it a knee to the head? I couldn't make it out

To be fair when we signed him, we had all heard this name.

It is interesting to see how frustrated we are with this sale considering that we don't know of he can make it in the Premier League. There is no guarantee that he would make it here and if he doesn't then the potential £30,000,000 would be amazing. We only got £23,000,000 for ASM and he was doing relatively well for us,mor had done, over a number of seasons. I know that we can see him as one for the future but I am still waiting for Anderson to show the level of promise that we were expecting. To be clear, it is not a criticism of Anderson but just an observation that sometimes it is worth the gamble to take the money and run.

I remember him being one of the poster boys for one of the Fifa games, when he played in Italy, but I cannot remember seeing him play a full game despite his time in the Premier League.

Good job they took their time with the free kick.

Put TAA on bench, Foden centre and Gordon left. You're welcome.

This is spot on and something that I have always thought but never understood. I fail to see how the Tories are an ideal to live up to. I am in a far more comfortable situation, financially, that both of the people I have mentioned but I can not find any draw to the Tories. I have always voted Labour and I imagine that I will. My family have very little finances when I grew up, but I was loved and my parents always put me and my brothers first, I had access to good (state) education and access to university. I don't think I would have the same chances now. I am not starry eyed about Labour but I really feel that they are the closest that we will ever get to being able to level up society. I listen to the smaller parties and they are just not realistic in their expectations and aims because they do not have to be. I would love a return to the EU but this is not going to happen any time soon. I also feel that for Labour to back it would create a media backlash which has a big impact.

I do feel for you guys with families who support the right wing. I know a woman who works part time in admin, probably takes home around £11,000 a year max and has said "What have Labour ever done for us up here (in the north). I was speechless which is a rarity. My wife's brother in law works on the metro and is a massive Tory. Thinks he is better than the majority of people and doesn't realise that he is one of the people that the 'real Tories' look down on. A pleb with nothing to offer society.

I think he was a tool maker. I am slow on the uptake though, so I may be wrong.

I said that Labour does a *better* job of funding education. This was based on my memory of them last being in power rather than a misguided understanding of them having anything to do with funding over the last 14 years. I am a primary teacher and I was when Labour were last in government. The only issue is, not only was that 14 years ago, I was at the start of my career and therefore had nothing to do with a school budget or any knowledge of my school budget was. They did a far better job of funding education as I do know that we were able to do things that I would bend over backwards to offer the kids today. I am still under the belief that you cannot serve two masters. I believe that unless there is one education system, there will not be an equal access to education for all. I am also against private health services as well. I know that people should be allowed to spend their hard earned money but this impacts on other people. My son recently was told he needed braces. My wife wanted us to pay privately to speed it up. This really sat uncomfortably with me as the conversation that we had with the dentist was basically that if we paid, he jumped the line and everyone who was already on the list just just bumped down. This is just a vanity project with teeth but this will be happening with people with cancer and other serious issues. It just doesn't sit easily with me. I am looking forwards to a change of government and I hope that we can get somewhere close to where we were 14 years ago.

All governments. Not party specific. Labour definitely does a better job of funding education. I cannot, however, see a real need for any government to give it the correct level of funding until it impacts on the rich kids.

I would be interested to see how different the high schools in Newcastle looked if there was no private school sector. I think they are woefully underfunded by government and they do not have the correct level of resources.

So, before I look like a private school sympathiser here, my stance is that I think we should abolish private schools altogether. I think that having private schools undermines the school system and automatically enables the Conservatives to underfund state schools. I think the only way we will ever truly level-up or invest fully in education is to do this. On the other hand, there is an argument for the private schools not to be taxed. Children in a state school are allocated something like £7,500 and my understanding is that private schools do not receive the £7,500 from the government to subsidise the education. I know the argument for tax breaks for private schools is the scholarships for gifted children. I really think that taking some of the children with great potential out of state education can only damage the state system and if they have great potential then they should also be able to flourish there.

I think Everton are on the same course that Sunderland were on. The longer they took to go down, the worse it was and caused the next relegation. In many respects, I think we were lucky to be relegated when we were as it did us a few favours e.g. getting rid of the likes of Owen.

It is not even their parents. Grandparents at the very least.
