    Newcastle United Saudi Takeover

    Bet their fans are taking the news well. They've always seemed such a reasonable lot 😂

    Newcastle United Saudi Takeover

    Will be funny if its just some weird political move and they don't end up pumping loads of money into them.

    Newcastle United Saudi Takeover

    He's got a point. Under Ashley they've only spent £519m on players and had to endure 2 seasons in the Championship, going up as winners both times. Clearly that's far worse than administration, ending up in L2, playing in Northampton and Birmingham, renting the stadium built for you from a...

    The big thing I've learned from this thread is I'm the only one on the forum who isn't on Tinder.

    Newcastle United Saudi Takeover

    At some point you'd have to think the bubble will burst. There's two options here, its either a hobby for the super rich and people can lose interest in hobbies or the other option which I probably shouldn't post about on a public forum given they can afford much better lawyers than me! If its...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Not sure going from 33% to 35% is much cause for optimism if you're a Labour supporter given that 33% led to what we keep being reminded was the worst night for Labour since 1935.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    To answer my own question couldn't find anything for 2019 with a quick google but did find some data for 2017 which suggests a progressive alliance would have put the Conservatives down to 267 with a progressive alliance of Labour, Lib Dem & Green on 325.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Have those numbers been crunched on a seat by seat basis for the last election? Would be interesting to see the impact it would have had. Obviously not an exact science as you don't know that if, for example, a Labour candidate stood down all those votes would go to the remaining progressive...

    Sarah Everard

    Some of you seem to know a lot about how Tinder works 😂 If its completely random what are the odds of the profile of a 'BLM leftie supporter' showing up for over 50 police officers immediately after her arrest? No idea how the algorithm works, is that likely? If this is just a complete...

    Newcastle United Saudi Takeover

    Its amazing the blindspots people have when it comes to thinks like that. Mate of mine is the biggest leftie going on any cause of protest there is he's there for it. But he's already celebrating money from the Saudi state being used to fund Newcastles rise!

    Sarah Everard

    The details are important here and some of them aren't known. You're talking about someone whose picture at the protest went viral so if, as the article implies, she got 50 likes from police and security guards shortly after her arrest that seems a bit suspect, especially if her claim that they...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We've been down this road but I don't get it. I wouldn't say my Dad is stupid (even if he is a lifelong Conservative voter!) but its like he's got a blindspot. I mentioned something Johnson had said in an interview last week to him and he just wouldn't believe it, so I found the interview on...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Exactly. There's absolutely no substance to it and the few actual details he came out with are already being fact checked as false, the 'new' hospitals which include refurbs, replacements & builds halted when Carillion collapsed; the cash to send teachers to the parts of the country that need...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Say what you want about Johnson but he knows how to play to his audience. His speech was streets ahead of Starmers. While there was little substance in it, same could be said of Starmers, he gives people the soundbites they want. As we all know nobody, especially the media, has any interest in...

    The Penalty

    A lot higher than I was expecting it to be in all honesty. Looking at the PGMOL site its stretching the definition of full time to its limit. Apart from the actual games they have two days training every fortnight, at Warwick University of all places.

    The Penalty

    Its pretty clear this isn't consistently applied as despite it apparently being introduced years ago nobody on here, or on the Fulham board for that matter, knew it existing before we heard about Godden. If you're going to have a rule like this then apply it to everyone, you can't have rules...

    The Penalty

    Week in week out we see a pretty poor standard of officiating and absolutely nothing seems to be done about it. Of course people make mistakes but with the amount of money in the game officiating really should be a higher standard than it is currently.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    On Andrew Marr on Sunday Johnson, after Marr had explained how farming works to him, said we didn't need to worry about a pig cull as it hadn't yet happened and to 'wait and see'. Well less than 48 hours later the cull of healthy animals has begun due to labour shortages...
