My uncle once seen Wyn Davies in the Turkish baths at Gateshead. He was absolutely black & blue with horrible bruises everywhere. “Ah, it was terrible, terrible” - Uncle. He thought “there’s no chance he’ll be playing against Man City on Saturday”. Obviously he played.

If you head on over to NUFC.COM they have a list of shirts for sale donated by fans. The proceeds go to the foodbank, which I’m sure you’re aware, is desperate for funds after losing match day income. Newcastle West End food bank is the largest in the country & it distributes over 25 tons of food per month to those most in need. The situation was fairly dire before Covid so you can imagine what it’s like now. Some shirts are signed, some are matchworn Anyway they’ve got a bunch of really great shirts up for auction, so if you want something special give it a look!

A new low.

A new low.

You can get those really handy knee pads that electricians use instead of shin pads.

My problem is I’m in a bubble or “echo chamber” of far left labour supporters. Now whilst I probably “identify” as far left I have a friend who is a councillor who’s won numerous elections & knows the political system inside out, every nuance. So every now and then he guides me about how unelectable we're becoming. He’s a big Starmer man, naturally. I worked hard for fuck all, every time. It’s a long time. Just look at the graph detailing families visiting foodbanks & how it has risen, constantly. Fuck it. I want a labour government at any costs at the moment. The argument to move further left will be a lot stronger when we’re in government & suddenly children don’t have to rely on foodbanks not to be malnourished.

The far left hate him tbh but I’m happy with my vote. He’s been exceptional in prime minister’s questions. I think he’s a Fabian socialist personally, he’s just clever enough to know how to get there.

A lot of “left wingers” who have been completely sheltered from the anti-Semitism debate are absolutely fuming. Other people are rattling on about labour letting Palestine down. Seemingly okay with the fact that labour have let the British people down for over a decade now. But all I’m hearing is the voices I’ve heard for years, friends & fellow campaigners. The people impressed by this kind of action I’ll likely have never communicated with. When campaigning I knocked on a door in Lanchester, a lady shouted “shalom” & slammed the door shut.

In fairness, that is a great thread.

Twitter is going to be a nightmare over the RLB thing. Really sharp from Starmer. Shows he’s not fucking about.

Manquillo has been class tbh

Shame for Liam Gibson tbh, Fernandez looked decent too.

Next week imminent

Norwich get nearly twice their attendance ffs

I can’t get into the mindset of people who don’t take their litter home, it’s disgraceful & remarkably stupid. Never mind taking a shite in a burger box

Meanwhile

I thought it was only for the first 12 games but I seem to have got that wrong

Thanks to the lads on here who donated by the way!

It’s an idea for sure!

I have no idea what you’re talking about

I can’t remember how this came about but

Sunderland couldn’t afford him man

This game has been the pits mind
