Possibly not. It's clearly not enough if they are hitting the poor/disabled as well though. They've just about alienated every demographic. Im trying to keep level headed and see if we are better off in ~4 years time before I decide who to vote for. The options are parse right now.

You're probably right and it's still early days but the signs aren't great and they are just pretty much following Tory policy. As far as I can see they have not impressed any demographic in the UK. They should be at least making massive noise about taxing the rich/tax dodging corporations etc - even if its just for PR, but they are just digging themselves in a hole for which they might never be able to get out. LDs had a taste when joining the coalition, but I agree on that point as well. You could counter that Reform have even less but then they are likely to be our new gov.

Aye. If we had a snap election tomorrow, who would you vote for? I’d have to check out what the Lib Dem’s are upto but Reform have the appeal and backing to win comfortably.

You need to be a certain type of human to be a ref. I wouldn’t do it for that amount. I hate reffing my lads u10 games. -
Their PR is world class shit as well. Plus a lot of the stuff that gets leaked is way off the mark and people have already believed it. I have fact checked the Mrs twice (ISAs and school kids meals rumours never happened) this week as she is so annoyed with them. She said she isn’t going to vote for them next time.

If Brexit has taught us anything, it’s that we never learn our lesson.

I got rid of my membership the day they got voted in. I’ve always been a Labour supporter but this lot have never inspired me and my vote was merely to get the Tories out. However I was hoping Rayner and Phillipson etc would understand who the little people are. They are more Tory than the Tories. Worst of all they have paved the way for Reform to walk into power. Unforgivable and I think they’ve ruined a great chance to do something good.

Although that would mean Arsenal are pretty much nailed on for the title. -

I wouldn't begrudge any of our players going to Real Madrid. I suspect the bin dippers see them as rivals though. -
Are they still together?

Holden McGroin replied to Andrew's topic in Newcastle Forum
Where did that amazing left-peg cross from Tino come from by the way? Was he deliberately told to not use his left foot/attack to the byline v West Ham and turn back every time. It could have been a masterstroke again by Eddie or Tino just decided to have a swing at it. -

Yeah, he looked miserable. Generally they need to get more non-partisan ex-pros on. Especially on co-commentating.. -

It's mad that we ended up finishing 11th that season. Only 3 point off 8th. -

One massive thing that has changed since Howe has come in is our resilience to see out games. In all my years watching us play we’ve always crumbled when it’s mattered. -

It’s going to have to be a big pre-match ritual.
