Bentaleg within 2 months.

In a 13 page thread about our match.

RIP. What an absolute legend.

You have to remember, many Labour voters/members are a lot more desperate and disenfranchised by the system than you are. You have a house and a stable job. For people on zero hours, renting, no prospect of really increasing that stability - yeah, intelligent pragmatism of the Blair years isn't going to cut it. It's ultimately the same reason we ended up with Brexit. Nothing has changed though, people's lives aren't better - and hoping that they're going to come back to the centre and be all sensible again, I mean.. yeah it's possible they'll do that, but I'm struggling to see it. So I mean, despair at them if you want - but they're more desperate than you are, and will be despairing at you right back. And yeah, you can say "well just vote for a beige centrist candidate and they'll stop the Tories". Except that the current generational fuck up isn't just on the Tories. It's the entire political system that failed. Every party. Some more guilty than others, but there we go. It's ultimately why I'm comfortable backing Starmer - because even if he is a "centrist" (I think he's sufficiently left wing personally anyway) who has no great plans for achieving actual change, I think circumstance is going to start forcing the hands of our politicians anyway. It already has for the Tories, they're nothing like the party they were a few years ago now. Something in the West needs to change - and it's going to, with or without Labour. As for evidence based policy - the evidence appears to be that we need to knock perpetual growth capitalism on the head asap because it is literally going to kill us all I don't really see any politicians saying that though, do you? I see a lot of people coming up with absolute bullshit in order to be elected, about how jobs are more important... but that's it. "We need to protect the economy, and yeah ok, also the environment where we can".

Bruce is looking more and more like Arthur Mullard with each game

I think it'll be a fairly senior side with a few young lads on the bench. I wouldn't be in a hurry to the match though. Have a few extra pints in the pub, the action generally only gets going after 90 minutes.

Easily our worst signing value wise, however since we probably only actually paid £8m for hi- actually he’s still the worst signing value wise

He gets picked because he cost 40 million. Try and let that figure sink in a bit. 40 fuckin million. Am convinced it's the most bent transfer in history

I noticed they mentioned us falling foul of ffp on their Everton match thread. Are they all on smack or just the members of rtg?

And the trains are surprisingly good

Fucking hell, Ant would have to give up his day job

That boat trip caper sounds canny, cheers. And aye, it's Mlini we're staying in, if I remember right so I'm glad it's got some decent scran. I'm going to get well in the mood; get some white linen pants and swan about supping red wine and make lewd comments to waitresses all day.

I've watched the highlights about 20 times today

It’s fucking amazing mind, all these daft cunts that shouted for Brexit, suddenly realising what they’ve done when it bites them on the arse. Farmers will be next. Then the mackems at Nissan. Stupid. Fucking. Cunts.

Won't somebody please think of the gammon faced fish!

I think this needs more investigation. I may be some time. Don't wait up.

Well it’s more than Chelsea took up at the weekend.

So she's giving up her honesty to win an election and you're annoyed. But when Corbyn refused to give up his honesty to win an election you were apoplectic. I don't know how anyone wins here.

If he plays his cards right he might Nab a spot in Jetro's Testimonial.

“Planning”

I get that they are desperate to laugh at us/take the piss, but even if we did lose 2-0 away to Everton I’m not really sure that’s something to take the piss about really, especially given how much Everton have spent recently.

I hear its beautiful this time of year.....

Ancelotti might not last till the weekend after this

.....Now I know why I found it so funny.

[poor language removed]

saturday? except we got three.

We can only hope that Bruce doesn't get caught performing the pre match human sacrifices before the end of the season. I honestly can't remember the last time we've played so shite only to nick a point. I'd be absolutely sickened if I was an Everton supporter, and I'd be very upset about this result as well

apparently so did Everton.

I don’t know what Lady Luck does see in Brucey but he is free to keep shagging her.

I'm telling you, Nandy wins back the Red Wall.

she was 19. unlike her daughter she's been to a shit load of newcastle games since. however she's steadfastly kept her tits covered up at matches for the best part of 3 decades!

I’m 29 and class. Just thought I’d bring that up.

29? How old was she when she had your daughter?????

Essembee will be sitting with a pack Kleenex and a bottle of baby oil tonight, watching Pickford like a hawk.

@Essexyellows october 13th 1990 at your place, my daughters first game aged just under 2 months. wouldn't take a bottle feed so the wife breast fed her on the cuckoo lane end to a rousing chorus of 'tits oot for the lads' dull as fuck 0-0 draw, she's 29 now and has never expressed the remotest interest in going to a newcastle game since.

Clever that

And we never get into anyone’s pelanty box

And then the prophecy will have come true, the spell will be broken and Stevie can finally come back.

For once in your life

I keep telling myself that.

Yes but there are very fine people on both sides

Here you go.
