    Very good recruit for Newcastle if true.

    Struggling to remember

    Yes and we all knew we were blowing the season right there in that run of defeats.

    BBC Tees Post Match

    Yes I agree, whether it’s just coincidence or not, open criticism by Tees has in the past been the prelude to a big change.

    BBC Tees Post Match

    I think Maddo thinks it’s a real opportunity for the recruitment team to really get in the face of the transfer market and go in where it hurts with big fees and big wage offers. All joking aside I’ve noticed Tees getting more and more critical in the after match recently, hopefully that’s just...

    The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

    He could probably still do a job there… Shoot the wingers if they get past him and all that.

    Season tickets go on Sale Tuesday 18 Feb

    We will renew. Good and bad seasons come and go but the Boro are for life.

    Keir Starmer..

    I don’t disagree but what you are saying is very difficult because the U.K. is simply a part of a global economic system. If a Labour Chancellor tampers too much and spooks the markets then you would get a Liz Truss situation magnified a billion times because it was Labour that did it...

    Press Conference - Watford

    Good press conference with some good and honest answers. I’ve been unhappy with Carrick for a few weeks but a lot of what he says is right about the complexity of players, characters, blend etc. As a club we can’t afford to shop at the best stores, a lot of the issues are probably caused by...

    Keir Starmer..

    I’m not sure it’s impossible, Labour are very effective at getting the message across much to the dismay of the right wing media. As you say Starmer is doing a generally good job and that will come through.

    Keir Starmer..

    I think he is more interested in pulling the agenda to the right than actually being in power.

    Keir Starmer..

    I think it’s important for Labour to remain sensible and deliver economic stability and growth by 2029 that alone would probably see another landslide. Can’t see it with the old racist Farage, despite all the hype, he’s been around a bit too long. The Tories will come back at some point but...

    Cafu Talks About England

    Morgan Rogers played for the Boro and is now the best player in the world, what does that say about the championship?

    End Racism......

    My experience is that younger people are less racist, sexist, discriminatory and are more tolerant than the Brexit generation. That gives me a lot of hope for the future.

    Hi Superstu Sorry if you don’t follow. I think it’s a matter of opinion whether outsourcing is more efficient or lower cost than directly employing staff but it’s very difficult to prove the efficiency of insourcing even allowing for a profit margin. Where is the incentive to be efficient...

    No I do understand that Superstu. The problem any socialist (Labour or other) has in the capitalist world that the UK is part of is that anything anybody does these days is subject as we all know to ‘business case’ or ‘investment model’ - the accountants and bean counters have their dirty hands...

    As much crap as you like thread

    I don’t seem to be able to reply to individual posts so just a couple of points … At risk of repeating myself outsourcing of services is massively different to the proper privatisation of the NHS which would mean the whole healthcare system becomes a privately owned profit making business, the...

    As much crap as you like thread

    There is a big difference between outsourcing the services to make it more cost effective and turning it into a privately (probably USA) owned insurance based system. The NHS is safe in Labour’s hands, it’s under stress as an entity under the Tories and in complete terminal danger if Reform...

    As much crap as you like thread

    Keep telling yourself that. There are loads of things Labour are doing to improve the lot of the normal working person in this country. Anybody expecting overnight change is naive at best, or more likely agenda driven. The state of this country after 14 years of right wing rule is like trying...
