Agree fully with what Renton said in response, there's no votes in long term thinking for the most part you don't need to look any further than CT talking about how Labour are to blame for the '08 financial crash for proof it's whoever is in now is who is to blame for most. I think the other thing with Government is that a lot of them are lifelong politicians, they have no real knowledge or experience in the fields they are regulating and as I said somewhere in the film thread ( sorry Fish) the people below them aren't generally the brightest sparks in the field (unless they reach out to high level ex-professionals etc) so I don't think they have the best grasp on these topics or how best to try and avert these sort of issues. My favorite comedian does a whole bit about the problem of overpopulation and how it's this very real issue but no one is going to touch it with a barge pole, it would effectively require a politician to stand up and announce how they are going to systematically decrease the population by 40-50%. We all know this exponential growth in population is completely unsustainable but there's no way a politician can stand and make a long term pledge on it. While it's obviously more visceral a topic than economics I really do think it shows how difficult it is to get people to vote for long term things if something like overpopulation that is so clearly an issue that everyone understands would get zero traction how would a complex issue that very little of the population understand (some that don't even advocating burying your head in the sand about in this very thread) fare better?

He definitely calls people "son".

"Who can blame them when even the Bank of England chief economist tells people not to bother with pensions but to buy houses instead." The same Bank of England that saw the 2008 crash coming a mile off... " A culture has arisen similar to that seen in the US before the 2007 housing crash with a certainty that house prices can only rise and people wishing to throw every penny of their investment at the market. " That's what we were all saying in the other thread iirc. Overall that's a very depressing outlook, you can live within your means and turn a blind eye to this as CT says but of course you should naturally worry about these things because they can have an extremely large impact on your life, even the worth of the money sitting in your bank account or under your mattress.

Gayle on his goal: "It's a bit of a blur now - crazy scenes. I couldn't breathe; I was getting suffocated by my whole team and head-butted by Mitro. It was a crazy couple of minutes but something I'll never forget."

I don't think it has been working all that well, we lost against Huddersfield, Wolves, drew with Aston Villa and were losing to Norwich with that system, we did beat Bristol, Derby and Brighton with it (Only 6 shots on target in total between those 3 games), but we fucking battered QPR 6-0 and Reading 4-1 playing a different system (19 shots on target in those two games). Aye it got us 3 wins but I don't think it's been so successful that we shouldn't consider changing it, Diame has been doing nowt for a few games in a row now, in fact for all his time on the pitch he has no goals and 1 assist whereas both Mitro and Perez have a goal and an assist in less games. Our most impressive wins have come when we played some pairing of Gayle, Perez, and Mitro.

True, it's just mint seeing how arrogant they are in those videos and imagine them watching it back uncomfortably in some FA room.

Is there any point in Redknapp being on the list, we've all known he's crooked as fuck for yonks.

Agreed, I just don't think Diame is doing a lot. I'd prefer to give Mitro a run there and see what Gayle can do playing off him but I'd even prefer just sticking Perez in behind Gayle over Diame playing.

I thought he was naturally that colour, drank too much Sunny D when that was a thing.

Do you write this into some sort of calendar?

The very same one that was one of Bournemouth's better players when they came above us in the PL table.

Aye he scored a few goals when we first got him and got in good positions, then Pardew told him enough was enough and you can't be attacking down the wings he needed to hang back and cover him man, then drilled it 5 days a week.

See we moan a lot about how rough we have it but then you have lads like that who are genuinely excited to be watching games in the Championship as they get to watch teams of Newcastle's calibre play theirs. Seem a good bunch and I hope they're right in their predictions that it's going to be a mullering. This is precisely the game NUFC would typically lose but I'm predicting a 3-0 convincing win. Gayle to get two, one of which will be from a Mitro knock down.

Good for Coleman, we've been inundated by all the crooks sticking up for Sam, Phil Brown saying it's like a death in the family.

He gets into good positions which is how he gets so many opportunities, he has been missing an awful lot but hopefully if Mitrovic gets to start a long side him he'll have more poacher type chances that he seems to enjoy most.

Thank fuck for that. Simply put it has to be Mitro and Gayle up top against Rotherham, Diame has had enough chances now.

Sounds like Diame has been anonymous as well, how many games is Rafa going to persist playing him there when he's contributing nothing?

For fuck sake man, spending the first half missing sitters has cost us again.

He found the boots!!

The one major plus is that he's getting himself into great positions a lot, just hope he can find his shooting boots asap.

Another miss by Gayle. It's going to fucking cost us again all these missed chances.

Gayle is missing an awful lot of chances the last few games.

Yedlin sounds like he's going to be really useful in this division.

Aye we need a big man on, we put in an awful lot of crosses for a side that doesn't want to play a big lump.
