He's recieved praise in previous season too though, right?

To be fair there's some decent conversations to be had on there, I've learned to ignore the few who are incapable of that. Have to say I do enjoy how furious one user gets with anyone who either is a Newcastle fan, or isn't the type of Sunderland fan he likes.

Championship was a bit of a spa day to be honest.

We do. Just maybe not a player who's not consistently performed for his home club. Frankly we'd be better off chasing Sigurdsson, who's far better than our lot, at a club we could lure him from, has performed consistently and seems a model pro.

Aye, just meant without the clause he'd be one of their few saleable assets. A few seem to think Ndong, Pickford will stay. The latter out of loyalty, the former because if they don't get a stupid offer they should just not sell. French midfielders are famously professional if they don't get their desired move, so they may have a point...

Big thing for them is how much of an overhaul is possible. Defoe, Kone, Ndong, Pickford won't raise £55m They're losing a ton of players as their contracts run out or they return to their parents clubs. The ones they're left with are ageing (O'Shea), perma-crocks (Cattermole) or just shit. Doesn't give them much of a core to build upon, or much money either. It'll get worse if they start badly and the fans desert the ground.

Doubt it, whoever comes up with Sheffield United and Bolton will join them as favourites for the drop. Plus Burton, Barnsley, maybe Bristol too? Especially as it's unlikely Abraham will still be with the latter. I'd be surprised if they bounced straight back, and the longer they're away from the Premier League teat the more they'll struggle, but I'd be shocked if they suffered consecutive relegations.

You're welcome.

Dunno, never really enjoyed it over there. We all know how much I enjoy attention, I'd just get lost in the crowd over there, whereas on RTG I'm a novelty.

No Beardsley?

Maybe I'd post here more if there was as much chatter about Newcastle on here as there is there...

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub

There's a balance to be struck in local rivalry like. No issue with enjoying their troubles and mocking their faults, but spending too much time focussing on what's wrong with them rather than what's good about us is odd. It's the difference between a normal Newcastle fan who hates them on the occasions they appear on the RADAR and essembee who's obsessed with them 52 weeks a year.

Wouldn't come, don't think he's the right fit anyway.

I tend to hold back on proper discussion about the undercurrents in Comic Books and their movie versions for fear of drowning under a sea of rolling eyes and exasperated sighs. I've briefly touched on the obvious stuff (Spider Man = puberty, X-Men = bigotry, Iron Man's original conceit = Capitalism v Communism, etc.), but there's deeper themes (conservatism chief amongst them).

Everywhere and all time, except for the Fast and Furious stable, the overwhelming majority of comicbook movies that dominate the box office, the Bourne and Bond franchises, the new Universal Monster movies, etc. Is a cinema your safe space?

Not following the pivot to conspiracy theories be honest You're suggesting this girl's parents were coerced into naming her thus, so that when she became an actress it could further a satanic agenda? It seems more likely you're uncomfortable with blockbuster movies drifting away from man saving the day? Either way I don't really care about the gender of the hero that drives the macguffin into the heart of the beast to save the day, as long as it's well written (at the very least).

I've been trying to tell people just how extraordinarily modest I am.

Good. I'd be more worried if they thought this squad was good enough for the top flight and felt assured of their places.

I definitely think there's a shift away from women being useless squealers/arm candy/evil manipulators towards women who actually contribute to the plot, be they the protagonist or not. But that's a good thing, surely? The slew of "young adult" fiction that became movies didn't get it right, but I've no big issue with them getting it wrong as they try to divine the right path. I mean we've "enjoyed" the blockbusters where ubermensch save the day pretty much since the dawn of cinema, right? So surely we can enjoy a modern version of the standard tropes we enjoy from the perspective of a woman? Can't the heroic journey be trodden by a woman?

like Terminator 2?
