Christmas Tree

6-0 to us

Aye 1 and out here as well

Quite often it can take a few days for the line to settle.

Just watched it. Very good how it all unfolds.

Quite an old show but absolutely loving Boston Legal. He’s had a pretty good innings old Captain Kirk.

Scandalous the way they are picking fault with everything Now they are complaining because Kiers got his nose in the trough. Good on him.

Rebel Ridge 4/10 Absolute dog shit

There seems to be two versions going round. First, what all the assembled reporters heard and 2nd, what certain posters wish it to be

Apart from the fact that virtually every journalist who was there came away with the same thoughts on it. He was having his BIG meet Paul Mitchell interview and turned it into a PR disaster. The fact he hasn’t resolved it, even behind the scenes, (if you believe Eddie), says a lot about him.

I used to trudge upto Newburn in the 80’s delivering meat to the bakery’s (Milligans or Gelders, can’t remember which)

Brilliant

Anyone else watch The Geordie Journos on YouTube ? No idea who they are and whether they have committed any past NUFC mortal sins etc but quite like their style of chat post games.

Just laughed out loud and Wife’s asking what at

Sorry lads I’m trying read and post whilst waiting outside various shops for our lass

Anybody had a glimpse at Naked Dating yet. Had a 5 minute flick through when everyone was in bed last night. No danger of any unwanted erections. (Them not me).

One of my all time most hated songs as it happens.

I thought Americans were meant to be good with guns

I thought it fucked up your pension tax relief? Could be talking absolute bollocks though as I’m 3 blue moons in

Dont do it, don’t rape your pension for a shiny car.

How often do you watch Netflix on your commute

My wife would disagree, she quite often makes a mountain out of a mole hill

At the end of the day he is just a reporter paid to get the best stories he can about Newcastle for the average Joe to read. We on here are probably a little bit more well informed about all things Newcastle than someone getting their info from the papers. I must say though that I never find him particularly negative. That said I only base that on his video stuff, not his written stuff. Personally I find him much more interesting and intelligent than the majority of reporters who sit in the pressers. At least his questions are usually meaningful rather than some of the drab shit that gets asked. I do think though that as with politics, there’s a growing trend that anyone that reports bad news is bad. I think he just pretty much tells it how it is.

Tbf and in defence of our lass, there’s probably more meat on my finger.

The bottom line in this whole fiasco is that Mitchell has been very unprofessional in his choice of language and has raised a lot of hackles. Sounds like he’s strolled in like Billy big balls. He could have easily praised past recruitment efforts (under difficult circumstances), while laying out a new way forward, but instead took his knob out and pissed in everyone’s cornflakes. It beggars belief that Eales hasn’t got them together in the 9 days since and sorted a way forward prior to yesterdays presser.

Hardly just a bit of friction And I know some despise Craig Hope (fairly recently), but every journo who covers Newcastle is posting the same story. Amanda pushed out, Eales struggling to fill her shoes and Eddie and Mitchell spatting through the press. Hope is quite right to say we’ve this play out before and it doesn’t end well. But shooting the messenger? Nah, not for me.
