  1. As long as there's plenty of Dock leaves this shouldn't be a problem, tbh.
  2. Alreet, man, FFS, no need to go on about it! Pleased you've got a bit of help, mate. Things definitely seem worse if you keep it bottled up.
  3. I think there was only one time this happened in the top league, Charlton 'won/kept' their top flight status at the expense of the three Div 2 sides. It also relegated the mackems into the 3rd (THIRD) division when they finished 3rd bottom of div 2 and went out on away goals to 3rd div Gillingham. Lawrie 'Mag'Menemy fucked them up and left just in time for Stokoe go take them down as a caretaker although unlike Rafa and Shearer it wasn't his fault, natch.
  4. I doubt it, mate, what period do you think think heralded a change in worker rights? Now or your grans era? Some folk went abroad to fight against fascism despite being from a neutral country, some ran British fascists out of their towns in your grans day. Like my Dad, I think you probably get a bit more right wing as get older, it's almost like a fear thing. (Not that my dad's RW, he just has moved more in that direction from the way he was when I was younger.)
  5. My Dad reads it every day, he's an ex-soldier, working class labour bloke, 71. He's definitely changed his outlook over the 20 years or so he's been reading that since he switched from the daily mirror. He's still not in outright DM reader mode but naturally voted leave after being drip fed all that shit.
  6. The article says the sky decision to move it now means they face an 8 hour round trip of 420 miles? Was it a closer, shorter trip before the date change? ?
  7. Booked a lovely little place in Northumberland for 4 nights over Christmas as we couldn't face Christmas day in our house in it's current state.* Don't usually do stuff in this country holiday wise so quite looking forward to a change and wouldn't normally go away at Christmas either so that's also a first. * Shame things couldn't have been done in time but things are moving along canny so we're getting there and by doing things in stages with friends/relatives/me grafting on rest days I'm saving some decent money to pay back el banco and keep my mortgage down!
  8. Ah, it's a musical? Wasn't 100% sure if it was a musical, a boy band or a different version of the Chippendales. While massive lads fan ewerk shakes his booty I'll be in the anchor or Wallsend buffs drinking cheap Guinness watching Rafa's lads get back on track. (Please!)
  9. Regarding our utter shitness at penalty shootouts, I'd say that there's definitely extra pressure at 'no trophies for forty odd years but still backed by a desperate to win crowd' NUFC. I'd sometimes they rather just thought 'fuck it, nothing to lose' and welly the fucker.
  10. Can you pour me a glass as well, Ken?
  11. Well that's us paggered v Forest, out of the cup and beaten by Blackburn. We don't like this time of the year when still in this competition.
  12. We've looked knackered from half time, Ritchie looked like he was running through treacle before he came off. Selz again, though. (After fannying on by three of wor lot tbf). I think we're fucked for the Forest game as a Brucie's bonus from this game. At least get through and make it worth it. Gayle needs to do better there.
  13. He's been trudging through the comedy clubs, supporting NUFC on the lookout for the elusive English tapas for years, man.
  14. Hard to believe him AND Pardew have come across as less than honest at different tribunals.
  15. It was the changes, simple as that. Gamez and mbemba looked a bit ropey, especially Gamez, the rest just weren't at it and Mitrovic I'm afraid to say was fucking gash, I just can't see him being a good PL forward if/when we go up, lack of pace, didn't win too many headers, (in fact it was pretty comfortable for their defenders against him). Maybe being harsh on him but he looked championship level at best yesterday. Obviously Rafa had to change with the games being this Tues and Fri but it was maybe a few changes too many. Gamez looked out of his depth and lost which is surprising considering where he's came from.
  16. Easy to say, and I don't want to sound like a knob but you had to have been there, felt the despair, the gut wrenching fear of going to the 3rd division, the financial implications, Hall probably jacking it and not giving KK any help, like DK said, KK would've been allowed to go, the probability that time had run out and weren't looking like scoring and then DK wellied the cunt from nowhere in the corner beyond the Knight was it? Cue bedlam, utter, utter relief fused with delirium/ecstasy/basically going fucking mental. Like I said, you had to have been there. Even the following week at Leicester was basically the same, only difference was there was obviously less fans to witness it, (I was in a bar listening on a radio, every fucker like a new dad awaiting the news that their lass and the baby were OK). It was certainly character building as a supporter.
