  1. All electric Nissan Leaf plant opened in 2017. The future of the car industry purpose built for them on their doorsteps I don't think anything would've stopped them from voting leave mind. I hate generalising about groups of people from anywhere but of you worked at nissan and voted leave you're likely to give pigshit a bad name
  2. Anyone got an Apple TV box? What are they good for v a Chromecast or Amazon stick??
  3. Old Jezza appears to have properly rattled Ashley. Chap. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/club-statement-jeremy-corbyn/
  4. Yeah I played all the way through school (no formal football in PE at any Borders high school in the 80s) but almost always for B teams as I was frankly bone idle. I played with and against some serious lads though, quite a few Scotland u18s/U21s and a sprinkling of late 80s/early 90s full caps. Some of them are in the pic; Kelso RFC Scottish champions 1988(?) 6 Scottish internationals, two of of whom went to our village school, one of them was a British Lion (the skipper) there also four other lads from our village in the pic, including my old man’s best mates son. I came across the pic a few years back and realised how steeped I was in rugby as a teenager, how high the standard was and how much I did actually enjoy it. I knocked it on the head when I left school to go and watch Pedro & Gazza every other week. I was asked to go back to the U18s by a club stalwart (this was also the man who first took me to St James Park) but declined. He didn’t speak to me for two decades after that
  5. All time rugger bugger great I see Ireland's last game my be hit by a 160 mph typhoon which will make qualification for the knock out stages very difficult indeed as the game will go down as a 0-0 draw. Scotland may benefit enormously from this. Oh dear how sad never mind
  6. I've succumbed £2 a month for the athletic...not bad...
  7. Fergie took them on and lost. Who knows what would've happened if everything had remained stable at board level.
  8. Woodward has kept all the shareholders happy by increasing the commercial revenue by a gazillion%. In that regard he's been a huge success. The Glazers are ultimately responsible for appointing him and all the managers since Fergie. They've also loaded the club with debt due to the leavarged buyout in the first instance and then skimmed millions out of the club and stuffed it into their back pockets. They've gone from all conquering with zero debt a decade ago to being a shareholders dividend paradise with no real need for sporting success due to the sheer financial power of the Manchester United brand. They, a bit like us, don't really exist for sporting reasons any longer.
  9. I hate being fair to man u but they had half a dozen out though injury. Thing is you'd think they of all clubs would have a squad to cope better than this mob are. The Glazers have fucked them over royally.
  10. On the contrary that’s precisely how Rafa played it once we had Almiron in the side 👍 Away at Spurs was a typical Rafa away performance too
  11. I always come first. The missus was telling me just last night. She mentions it a lot....
  12. I wonder if Bruce realises how Insipidly weak he’s sounded this week? Rata was on an abysmal run this time last year. The same shit was being thrown at him as is being thrown at Bruce. He didn’t whinge to the press about the players. He got them on the training ground and drilled them till they dropped. He also got Rondon fully fit, something Andy Carroll is unlikely ever to be able to be. I think there’s an argument for starting him today and Stone Age Bruce must be very tempted. If he doesn’t start I don’t think he ever will. But Bruce definitely wanted him. Regardless of being on pay as you play, a crock like Carroll takes a squad place up.
  13. I’n the absence of an official match thread (what’s the fuckin point?) I’ll just leave this here....this shit hasn’t happened before folks...
  14. Are we actually witnessing the very public death of the Tory party as we know it?
  15. Rory to stand for Mayor of London as an independent Swapping Penrith for London wtf is he thinking??
  16. I take it Arlene has accepted another bung though? Bad for the optics to make it public...
  17. This reminds me of every large organisation I've worked for. Each department working to a policy which always ends up as: "IT WASN'T US IT WAS THEM!" Workplace blame culture infecting democracy. I blame Bill gates and his fuckin spreadsheets for modern day management practices. What a cunt.
