Always wanted to see this, it’s apparently the Dutch war film and kicked off not only the first “national debate” about what really happened in the Netherlands during WW2 but also the Hollywood careers of Paul Verhoven and also the now sadly departed Rutger. RIP.

Theres a load of us over 45s seeing him on the Saturday before Christmas. Really looking forward to seeing Geordie Springsteen

No need to get in a paddy about it Gloom..

Still stinks. 40 mill is huge. It's the type of gamble that used to put clubs into receivership. These deals stopped in the early/mid 2000s. Boro, Forest, Sheff Weds all basket cases because of them.

Cummings found in contempt of Parliament when he failed to appear in front of a select committee. Even Mike fuckin Ashley eventually turned up for his arse kicking. Beggars belief.

This has got disaster written all over it. A six year deal for an untried South American. It’s not a signing to develop the squad it’s a fuckin bribe to get people into the stadium. It’ll probably work on that score.

Agreed but are we failing to take into account the brown envelope factor?....

Think you’re right. I remember when Gazza still played for us we knew some lads who knew him and they said he hardly ever went to SJP as he was always playing for some team or other on Saturday afternoons. * think it’s a fairly well known fact that all Liverpool’s best players from the mid-late 90s were boyhood Everton fans...McManaman, Fowler, Gerrard, Owen...Carragher’s old man kidnapped him from school to take him to the away leg of the cup winners cup semi in 85 v Bayern. The old man is now a season ticket owning kopite, the glory hunting prick

The current Mrs PL had just been catching up with the days events via the 6 o’clock news. She then turned to me and said “I’m going to txt my mother and tell her to if she votes Tory again we’re going to emigrate to New Zealand”

Normally I'd agree but where do they go in October when they're 8th and bottom of their Europa League group? There was a clamour for him when OGS was appointed...

Wonder what would happen if "top geordie bloke" Steve Bruce got a call from Old Trafford?

My in-laws bought the hardback for me for Christmas....might have to get the kindle version to read it though

Jo Swinson new leader of the Lib Dem’s. Would.

Looking forward to next week’s coronation of “Bozzymandias, king of kings” (stolen from this week’s Marina Hyde column 👍)

This summer's most predictable deal. Kill me now

Jarrod Bowen would appear to be the championship winger we’re in for. Plays for Hull City. Wonder how he came to the club’s attention?

We’ve done it before for a one off game to great affect but this was a league cup game... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/7626827.stm

Think this is a parody....might not be though https://richardajkeys.com/index.php/blog/212-why-steve-bruce-was-right-to-take-newcastle

What in the name of holy fuck were they doing out on the piss in Morpeth?

He’s not giving Bruce 90million. Bruce will be given some players that Rafa wouldn’t have accepted in a month of fuckin Sundays

I was at both games. Still scarred. Sam set us up for a draw home & away. Wasn't as bad as Wigan away on Boxing day that season though. Wasn't going back after that. Then He got the sack

Newcastle United, summer 2019:
