Am wondering if the lad in the papers this weekend making some utterly horrifying allegations is the "smoking gun" that will confirm what half the internet has been banging on about for the last 3 years has some proper truth to it?...

There's lads dying every month in Qatar on the construction of the stadiums, this after having their passports confiscated and wages withheld i.e. basically slavery, all with Blatter's blessing...then turns a blind eye when people trying to expose this are incarcerated in Qatar... http://rt.com/news/185780-qatar-world-cup-workers/

The only way to achieve change is for the sponsors to withdraw en masse.... but when Emirates and Sony did this they were replaced by, of all companies, Qatar Airways

Aye Bez had Psycho and Winterburn in front of him, hardly a sniff of a cap with those two around, suppose LeSaux just made things worse too. Great attacking fullback, definetly not a wingback

Mark McGee, made all the space that Mickey Quinn scored his goals in See also Paul Goddard who almost single handedly kept us up in 87.

This gosling chracter is a blatant mackem iyam...

Prosecutions are a good point but will never happen as long as the things like the head of the hedge fund who benefitted most from the under pricing of the Post Office shares having George Osborne as his best man keep happening

Scotland v Ireland was abysmal but in the spirit of fairness I'd say William Wallace's fine decendants were a better side than the bogtrotters

Well how many mistakes did he make @ man city in the cup?....no one's said one swallow makes a season but neither does it make him turboshite

Feeling strange-ish....... a family funeral yesterday in mancyland has put the buyer of my house pulling out of the sale today (a week before exchange) into sharp perspective...theres dozens of things in life you've absoloutely no control over and to let them get to you too much is the path to madness.....bang goes fuckin Barbados at christmas with the house sale proceeds mind...

Will the five week.break be devoted to your friend Stella?....Am sure if I was in your shoes I'd be on the sauce as much as I can Good to hear you being positive mate

Dummet looks a born centre half to me. But there again so did Williamson at old Trafford just under a year ago so let's not start sucking each other's dicks about him just yet. He looks better beside Colo than the other two atm so for me he stays , which allows the also very canny Haidara a run at left back too

Soooo.... We're not allowed to complain, and indeed we should apologise to Pardew.. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/patrick-barclay-message-to-newcastle-supporters--its-time-to-say-sorry-to-alan-pardew-9827653.html But Spurs fans have legitimate gripes it would seem... http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/patrick-barclay-arsenal-should-be-worried-by-the-tensions-at-white-hart-lane-not-tottenham-9853013.html London-centric arse licking media cunt...

It gets more surreal and yet more plausably realistic with every entry (oo and indeed err missus)

You're missing the point ewerk....they were able to get rid of him (and more to the point his issues at that work place) because his employment rights have been casualised out of existence. I understand you probably come at life from a different sort of angle to me but believe me this goes on and it effects millions of us who have to get our hands dirty for a living every fuckin day.

Carillion plc were found to have persecuted Dave Smith for trade union activities at a tribunal he brought against them. The reason the tribunal found against him was because Carillion were "employing " him through a subcontractor and they took him on via an agency so technically he wasn't their employee. His employment rights had been "casualised". I work for a company who only employ office staff and contract managers. The lads who carry out the work (I.e. the people who actually create the profits to pay for the full employment of the others) are all self employed with no real rights or entitlements whatsoever.

We're at war with IS because the papers say so? And a debate on a declaration of war has taken place in the UK parliament?... I'd lay off the sensi for a bit if I were you mate....

"Some media are better than others" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/11221168/Newcastle-United-fans-were-right-to-call-for-Alan-Pardew-to-be-sacked-and-to-argue-otherwise-is-insulting.html Luke Edwards, gentleman and scholar....

The media are giving the cunt great write ups at the moment. Fuckin clueless most of them, which is ironic because so is Pardew...

The people of Sunderland support their team in numbers that few can match in view of their history and economic circumstances. They've been largely unmitigated shit for their entire existance and they still took nearly 3k to Southampton to see them let 8 in. Long may it continue

not been tempted by the Spurs league cup game?...

They could intoduce a new "top north east football journo's diary" segment, narrated by the author perhaps, for an approprate fee, minus 10% to your agent (i.e. in this case, me )

yeah fair one. But if you want folks to listen again then for me youve got to provide something a bit different, and this was just a bit meh really..

Agreed, I was expecting a near half hour of Geordie football related side splitting mirth.....instead it was 4 vaguely jocular and amiable geezers talking about what we talk about on here, only I could actually hear it. Which is and was fine, but after your disclaimer that some of your pals get paid to tell jokes I was expecting some humour above the level of Sammi Ameobi's "trumpet", fnarr fnarr etc...

I'd be interested in Viduka's appearance stats over his career, to see if he really was injured most midwinters and just seemed to play late summer/early autumn and in the spring? http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/nov/06/the-secret-footballer-book-extract-fans-supporters
