Once saw a Greek peasant in Greece with a donkey, and a wife. He had a much macho curly moustache and somewhat kinky knee high leather boots. He sat down outside a cafe and had a beer whilst the donkey and his woman stood and waited drinkless by his side. Class.

Society is one big pecking order. Those at the top kick those just below them and those people kick those just underneath them. Until we get down to the working poor who kick those on benefits. People look for reasons as to why they are not participating in a rich country's goodies. They criticise what they see as injustices right in front of their eyes. But they never see the decisions which are made in parliament or in boardrooms which cause such tremendous inequality in Britain. And that's the way Parliament and the super rich who control politicians like it. Smoke and mirrors. Le

I know 3 people of my age who have had to pay for replacement hips or knees. Waiting in severe pain for years was not an option they were prepared to take. 16 grand for a hip (×2) for one friend and 11 grand for a new knee for two other friends. They are not wealthy people and are raiding their life savings.Most of my generation are reluctant to spend their savings on cruises etc because they know the state won't look after them when shit hits the fan.

We must have a system where you can leave your house at least to your family. I cannot believe parliament is so cynical, incompetent and dysfunctional that they cannot implement a decent social care system. The old and sick are clogging up NHS beds and when they are discharged often boomerang back into hospital because they cannot care for themselves at home. A national disgrace to add to the long list of the UK's list of shame.

Hope you are right, both Ferdinand and Scholes are saying DeLigt is very injury prone and cannot get into the Bayern Munich team. However, I guess the new recruitment team at Man U know what they are doing. Scholes has become an embittered old man moaning that ' fings ain't what they used to be'. Here's hoping he's a success. .

Once upon a time the workhouses were full of the old and the poor Progress was achieved when OAPs were given a few bob to stop them clogging up the workhouses or dropping dead in the street and making a nuisance of themselves. Things gradually improved until the lovely Mrs Thatcher decided the link between earnings and pensions should be broken and the state pension should be uprated every year by a measure of inflation: RPI ( the retail price index). This meant the state pension has declined in value markedly over the years. Roll on a few years and the generous tories declar

There are mutterings about prisoners being charged for their bed and board whilst they are locked up. But you yanks have plenty of money don't worry bud.

That's right when he's got the ball in space he looks bewildered and his distribution can then be dodgy. But when he's concentrating on the ball at an opposing player's feet he's super quick and his timing is generally impeccable. I'm sorry to see him go. He's a great squad player.
-
Yes agreed, but that's not my point. When Man U buy players the price super inflates because it's moneybags Utd with the cheque book. Similarly, we sell players at huge losses and FFP has exaggerated this trend. The new management team was brought in to to bring an end to this self destructive tendency. Ratcliffe has stated several times that basically Man U is not Santa anymore. So I am very disappointed to see Wan Bissaka to leave at that price. Ten Haag has now assembled Ajax old boys: Onana, Martinez, De Ligt,Mazroui and Anthony. Can you recreate a successful Eridivise team and expe

100% agree. Man City have undoubtedly bought the league repeatedly. But, speaking as a football fan and not as a Man U supporter, City has provided some top, top entertainment and upped the bar for every team in the Premier league.The premier league has been sensational for football fans worldwide. FFP rules will undoubtedly dumb down the entertainment on view. That will lose the Premier league big boys money. So, clubs will look at ways to to skirt FFP restrictions. God forbid it would lead to a "European Super League". That would be the death knell of the whole English footb

Man U have completed yet another bizarre money losing transfer. Wan Bissaka cost us 50 million 5 years back and we've sold him for 15 million. He's still young and probably the best one on one defender in the Premier league. ( Many have described him as that. It's nigh on impossible to get past him.) Apparently he struggles to combine defensive duties with also being an offensive threat. Which is fair comment. But we knew that 5 years back. How has he lost 35 million in value?. FFP has dictated we get rid of players to balance the books. Trust me, the Hammers have got the bargain of th

Another illusion shattered. Nothing left to believe in now.

Keith, you have become a soft southerner. Cow heels and tripe are what we eat. Stop getting above yourself. You'll be wanting sliced Hovis at the corner shop next, instead of trudging up that cobble _stoned hill with tha one clog on and buying a proper uncut loaf. And it didnt matter if it was yesterday's loaf either. Think on lad, I knew yer when you had nowt.

I remember TM. Marine,firefighter, champion chess player, undefeated pro. A nightmare for opponents. Some people are born with just muscle, sinew, balance and coordination. He was one.

You definitely won't thank me for this memory. But Sunderland beating the mighty, dirty Leeds in the FA cup was a real fairytale. A division between them and Sunderand played them off the park. I could envisage a cup win with Howe at the helm.
-
You probably won't thank me cos it sounds patronising. But I'd like Newcastle to win something. Be good crack watching the celebrations of supporters starved for so long of a trophy. The way the Premier league is set up only probably 3 teams can win it. And the rest are also rans. Hold in I'm talking crap again..there's always a once in a lifetime Leicester City.

There's a fine line between being a loyal supporter and delusional. What would happen if the geordies actually won something? Newci brown workers on overtime and casualty department full of shocked supporters.

I don't like porridge and I'm a natural coward, so I shall keep my highly intellectual musings to myself.

Well that stopped the discussion in its tracks.

The Labour Councillor has been charged with 'encouraging violent disorder.' Up to a jury now. The judges has stressed there should be no discussion or sharing of info online.

We have a unique ability to buy above market price, offer long contracts with overblown wages and sell at rock bottom prices. The new hotshot management team have been hired to fix that issue amongst others. It will take a while and I'm suspicious that it may be a case of too many cooks.
-
Yep. I saw him play in a friendly before he was injured. He'd only been in the country a few days but he controlled the whole game. Rotten luck.

You will be smashing your head against walls and calling for the return of your saviour ...Mr David Moyes within ten games. Man U have signed a young french defender, Yoro. I predict he is going to be a class act. Poise, time on the ball and a skilled reader of the game. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ten Haag get sacked . We desperately need strikers and we are not even linked to one in the transfer gossip pages. Going to be interesting to see how Man City fare when their fair play hearing gets under way.

Words don't have context anymore. It's as though we are all robots and only understand words literally. A good proportion of the old comics who told openly and funnily racist jokes would be in jail according to today's standards. Bernard Manning for one and the black Yorkshire comic Charlie???? Brown? It's mad. We should all take turns locking each other up. And don't get me started on police involvement in every petty incident under the sun. I agree, years ago we policed ourselves very effectively.
