  1. I think mine was that well known Tyneside establishment The Sporty, Mill Wynd, Kelso First place I had a pint in Newcastle was the George and Dragon in Eldon Square.. fuckin starbucks now
  2. My old mucker Jezza just fired a txt in....
  3. "Career politicians see their careers taking an uncontrollable turn for the worse" That's why they're threatening to overturn the very demorcratic process they brought in to replace the union block vote. Two out the other three are ex cabinet members and the other one is as ruthlessly careerist as anyone I've seen in my life. They want power, and that's fuckin it. Theyll do anything to get it.
  4. Easter Monday 1988. We went down a month later
  5. First game was 1-1 v Exeter in the cup 1981/2(?) attended sporadically until I left school in 85 by which time there was a lad called Gascoigne making waves that our village Newcastle supporter said was the best young player he'd ever seen (good judge, rip Bob Pringle B.E.M.) So I probably went to 90% of home games between 85-90. I then moved down south after I finished my apprenticeship and attendance has been up and down since then due to living 367 miles from sjp...I do have 200+ away ticket loyalty points so am thinking I've been to maybe 500 ish?...
  6. Theyre talking 12-14 million for a player that's never played in the premier league
  7. My man Bernie is rocking the Demorcrat nomination gig...the games up for capitalism http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/leftwing-outsider-bernie-sanders-beating-hillary-clinton-in-new-hampshire-primary-poll-10451330.html
  8. I think the situation is far from ok as I've outlined earlier but I accept it because theres next to fuck all I can do about it. I agree Colback is average-ish, I agree that I'd love a player like Cabaye in there, but I don't feel the need to slate the lad because with Ashley in charge its utterly pointless. Its called being a "supporter" in my book, i.e. offering support, the "11 shirts" thing? We're not Arsenal, with oodles of cash to spend on midfielders, but we could be. For the same reason that the squad will always be sub standard, we wont be.
  9. China devalued the Yen today. Winter is coming
  10. Capitalism cant distribute decent paying jobs to the masses like it did in the 20th century which is the main reason a lot of the masses are on benefits. Re-nationalising some things may address this. I think its something like this the elite may fear about a Corbyn bandwagon starting to roll. It needs someone more charismatic (younger, more telegenic for the morons in the south of England, and CT) to deliver the message though.
  11. You're a supporter of a club that employed Shola for over a decade mate...in spite of this you live in the hope of (and indeed expect??) a squad brim full of talented footballers. You're wilfully following the wrong club if this is your criteria.
  12. Speaking it is the easy bit....Spanish and French is spoken so quickly by the natives I cant understand more than the odd word/syllable/shrug/belch etc etc..
  13. This is the bottom line.......what the fuck can we do about it? Theres 11 shirts to support, I suppose its up to you how you go about it, but if football supporters only gave their support to technically gifted players there would be even less noise in the concrete graveyards of the premier league....tbf, the atmosphere wasn't bad for an early kick off on Sunday..
  14. fyp ..........to illustrate 50% isn't good enough....
  15. Is this defence splitting enough for strawb and Tooj? 1 min 20ish... http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=newcastle+v+chelsea+2014%2f15&qpvt=newcastle+v+chelsea+2014%2f15&FORM=VDRE#view=detail&mid=07512D603C44EB30F44507512D603C44EB30F445
  16. This lot are bricking it... http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/aug/12/tony-blair-labour-faces-annihilation-if-jeremy-corbyn-wins-leadership
  17. Agreed. The thing is he's neither charismatic or a great orartor and the sun/mail reading fuckers who decide elections have already made their minds up about him due to the Tory propaganda machine.
  18. We have, and we've also had Mike Williamson as first choice centre back since 2010. The squad has had in that time and will always have massive talent free holes in it. 5 years after our promotion the squad should be brimming with talent after careful development over that time by an experienced and thourough recruitment team. Instead we've had Graham Carr to trawl the continent encouraging talented payers to use us as a stepping stone to greater things. Meanwhile average players like Colback know they'll never play for a bigger club and are happy to stick around with the full knowledge that they'll get a regular game due to the very limited ambition at the club, illustrated by this shitty attitude to recruitment. I'd rather criticise this than individual players trying their best.
  19. The future is always recorded my dear Parkster http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/tomorrowsworld/8023.shtml
  20. Criticising Colback for being a bit average with Mike Ashley as our owner is a bit pointless tbh. Its a bit like saying we should have Yaya fuckin Toure in there. He's ok. Sometimes I do wonder what people expect...
  21. Apparently Jetro Willems was in the crowd watching the Southampton game on Sunday, sending cryptic instagram posts about "flying into the future"...
  22. Hmmm..... Alastair Campbell: It Has to Be ABC - Anyone But Corbyn: Labour Could Be Finished if He Wins http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/alastair-campbell/it-has-to-be-abc-anyone-b_b_7964900.html
  23. Bernie Sanders for President! http://www.trueactivist.com/18-ceos-called-out-by-bernie-sanders-for-taking-trillions-in-bailouts-evading-taxes-and-outsourcing-jobs/?utm_content=buffer4f145&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
  24. true story, it may have been posted on here before?....Niall Quinn once took Keviin Kyle and a few other mackem youngsters for a beer somewhere or other and they ran into Norman Whiteside. Quinny and him are seemingly friendly so theyre sat having a chat about football...Kyle is sat theyre listening and asked "So did you play yourself Norman?" Whiteside: "Do you know who the second youngest player ever to appear at a world cup finals is?" Kyle: "errr...naw.." Whiteside: "well that was a fellah called Pele, you may have heard of him?.....I'm the fuckin youngest!"
