Cat dad and northern lad. Hillwalker. Probably “woke”. Sometime korfballer. Music, food and travel. And history and architecture. #NUFC North-eastern England.

Sending an angry but fair email last thing on a Friday is so cathartic. Not stroppy. Totally justified.

How strange that the Shadow Justice Secretary doesn’t seem to understand the law.

Thank you to the Norwegian Nobel Committee for brightening everyone’s Friday.

I preferred it when they just did racism.

I don’t know if they’re fringe views rather than mainstream green manifesto policies, but it strikes me that eliminating motorways and landlords entirely may not work.

“You’re always playing the race card”

Anyone who says this has no idea how power dynamics work.

Race is not a card I can play. It is a hand I’m dealt.

Black people have never had the power to keep white people from voting, reading, or writing. If anyone’s had a race card, it’s white people.

In the same way that I, a 41yr old man, am embracing the challenge of realising my dream of playing premier league football.

I’m not sure of his qualifications for the job, apart from his brief loan spell at Stoke under KK. Feels like a “job for the boys” type appointment made under Ashley that PIF haven’t had the heart to rescind. What value for money is he actually delivering apart from being a good lad?

Definitely, it’s what the club do next to develop that talent that matters. Not loan moves to Gateshead (no disrespect) or moves to European clubs where they’re getting 0 game time. Have Cordero or Sanusi actually featured at all for their respective clubs? Pivas looked ok last night I thought.

Park looks a really good prospect. Neave took his goals well. Unlucky not to get another one with a flicked finish with the keeper off his line that landed on the roof of the net. Both obviously too raw for the first team but there’s potential there.

It would make more sense to recall Matt Targett. At least we’re already paying his wages.

Spot on observation. There’s something so servile about him isn’t there?

Remember when Nick Clegg was keen to introduce us to a “new type of politics”?

I’m really sorry. I’ve only had one break up (thankfully) but I didn’t feel like I was in any place at the time to make sense of it. Give yourself time and space.

Cue an article by someone in the online footballing journalistic fraternity explaining why this means NUFC are falling apart at the seams.
