Think I'm with Quiff on that. Shaming people into giving up their seat isn't on really I once had a woman (non pregnant, about my age + maybe 5) try to shame me into giving up my seat on a train after an 8 hour day in retail on my feet. No fucking way. Having said that, i always give up seats to old people and tbh if it's a nearly full bus or train I'll just stand anyway for short runs.

Bingo. Although surely any attempt to interfere would be neocolonialist. So they're damned either way IMO.

I love how he has basically accepted everything Stevie just said as true and resorted to attacks on the basis of fucking benefits You're thinking of Sunderland mate, Newcastle is middle class as fuck

Just take it on trust mate, that he is not running the club 'as a business' at least in terms of what you think that means. He takes money out of the club, has tanked our commercial revenue, and risks relegation almost every season by failing to invest, which costs him more in the long run. He's a fucking pillock.

I'm confused, why are there so many Wolves fans posting here? It's starting to feel like this game is really important to them or something. And I'm not entirely sure why that would be. This is pretty much how Newcastle fans will see the various results options, for all the Wolves fans: A loss - Fuck you Mike Ashley A draw - Meh + Fuck you Mike Ashley A narrow win - Ah that's nice + Fuck you Mike Ashley A big win - this team man + Fuck you Mike Ashley None of our responses will have anything to do with you guys - we're having our own existential crisis as a club and we really don't give a shit about everyone else at this point. You're just 'the opposition' on Monday. Sorry.

We could have had a better arrangement with Japan, inside the EU.

Aye but he didn't get eviscerated on there TT is always such a welcoming community

She's definitely the "in" left winger at the moment but I'd be surprised if she was the first person saying stuff like this. However, the Democrats were funded through lobbyists too, so it's possible that a fringe position (that this is unacceptable) is becoming more visible.

Also possible. But why did he even need the racial element of it? If it's made up bollocks, why not just say he went down to the pub and waited for anyone to start on him?

Yeah idk about this one. I've watched the SJWs hop up and down with rage about totally stupid shit before but this one I kinda get it. I mean it's not even liked he hoped he would find the guy - he assigned the sins of one black guy to -all- black guys, and wanted to kill one of them. The only possible implication being that if he managed to do this, it would restore the 'pride' of white people somehow. Moreover, he specifically asked the race of the attacker signalling that this would be an important component for him. Fair enough he's held his hands up and admitted it was wrong but that's the bare fucking minimum. It's a totally abhorrent way of thinking. And I like the guy in general but fucking hell..

The thing i find immensely frustrating about the GE defeat is they'll come out afterwards saying things like "we didn't appreciate the strength of feeling that people in our membership had for remaining" or something that suggests they're totally out of touch with reality or liars.

Yep I resigned also. I sent an email advising them it was due to their Brexit stance and got a generic bullshit email back which didn't mention it once.

Do we have rules..?

We beat Man City and people start predicting wins against spurs Got to love football.

Looks like they're gonna get him but it's £3-4m. Superbly played by their chairman. A player worth about £500k, signed for 6 times that. Same old Sunderland.

Have just been reading RTG to see how their race for strikers is going and it is predictably amusing this far With the caveat that they may well get in a striker, the chain of events seems to be as follows: 1 - Stewart Donald spends January giving it the big un about the mighty financial power of Sunderland and how 'most championship clubs would want the budget that SAFC has' 2 - Maja, a totally mediocre striker but also their only outlet all season of note, is sold. 3 - Donald claims they will get two new strikers in no problem. 4 - They arse around with a bid for Will Grigg. Deadline day comes in, Sunderland bid £1.5m, Wigan turn around and demand £3m since 'most championship clubs would want Sunderland's budget'. Sunderland mysteriously go quiet. 5 - At midday, it is announced on SSN that an unnamed PL striker is having a medical with a view to a loan move. Nothing is then heard about this for several hours, until eventually SSN reveal that actually, that never happened. Meaning it was a ruse to make SAFC look less desperate than they actually are. A ruse seemingly bought by no one. So as things stand, they have one senior striker in the squad, and he's beyond terrible. It could all change, but they're absolutely frantic about it. The thread that was started about the PL loan player at lunch time has his 70+ pages in a few hours

Holy Fuck. We signed someone. And we broke our transfer record to do it. Honestly looks like Rafa has totally outplayed Ashley on this - the threats to resign and sack the whole thing off look to have done the trick.

Is this kid actually any good?

At least if he's paying his loan off it might be with a view to fucking off for a reasonable fee.

Aye, the one that he has done nothing to pursue or generate any support behind because he's fudged the wording on it so much. That one.

If he had banged on about it, he could have taken the country with him and moved us for a softer version of Brexit if nothing else. He's added nothing. He's done nothing. Come on man, I was his biggest supporter and even I have to accept that he's been a total waste of space. Worse in fact, he's the very definition of a useful idiot.

This is the inevitable truth of it.

Enough Tory rebels seem to vote against her, that a Labour leader with an actual plan or point of view could capitalise, but it doesn't matter because the country has no leadership at all. This is the worst kind of 'governing by consensus', it's a collective of people who have no idea what they're doing, no overall strategy or goal, and as such they're voting all over the place with no unified outcome in mind. Hence we get contradictions like yesterday. That is why we'll end up with No Deal. May - and this is fucking unbelievable for me - actually has to win this. She has to. I actually want Theresa May to win now, mostly because it gives me an extra 2 years to escape. That's how abhorrent this has become. She's created an absolute nightmare and has somehow managed to get to a point where I actually support her because, and it depresses me more than anything to say this, Corbyn has utterly failed to take a stand on this and create meaningful opposition to it. Just as Renton and ewerk, to be fair to them, have said for years. Even in the past two months he could have changed the course of this by just fucking standing up for 48% of the country. Corbyn will never be PM - not because he's too left wing, but because he's a fucking coward.

From the point of view of maintaining the country, this is an absolute disgrace. No one in Labour should have voted against anything that was going to make May's life easier on political principle anyway, but to take us right to the edge of the abyss with no plan whatsoever, and no information suggesting that there is actually any positive outcome from no deal, is irresponsible to the point of surely being criminal. This is major economic harm we're talking about. When this goes through, honestly, I think there should be a political inquisition. What is also clear, is that Labour's stance on this is making the whole thing even worse. The reason parliament is all over the place is mostly because Corbyn won't wake the fuck up. May can't wake up, she needs to go on with this delusion, but there is nothing compelling Corbyn to do the same. Nothing. He is now another person prepared to throw the country under the bus to win a GE. The thing is, I won't fucking vote for this. Even if my vote was the deciding vote between a Tory government and a Labour one, I wouldn't vote. I am done with supporting this hopeless mess of a political system. None of them give a shit about what is best for the country minus a few principled people across the house - there is no one to rally around to oppose the government because Corbyn refuses to be that man - it's pathetic. Beyond pathetic. It's doubtful now that No Deal will even break the Tories since we seem to have allowed them to manufacture a way to blame everything on the EU - so the only good reason for no deal to happen is now out of the window. Honestly, I'm looking at this and just thinking yeah, maybe I should just fucking leave the country. Maybe I should.

We are never going to get a better striker than Mitro because he won't spend more than £15m on anyone Also don't recall Mitro being the main problem that season...
