  1. This. English schools and hospitals too on the compounds I've stayed on. You go to work, come back and it's like the UK but in an oven. Although Saudi is culturally very different, I'd find it far easier to settle there than in Spain if I didn't want to make any effort to integrate / learn the language. I've met people who've been in Saudi for 30 years and barely speak a word of the language because there's just no need to.

    Move London brick by brick to Newcastle.
  3. I dunno, he can take quite a few of them for me. Just not the good ones.

    That's a good point. Due to earning disparities between regions, we'll always struggle to price season tickets the same as Arsenal, Spurs etc. Building the same size stadium is only half the battle.
  5. It wasn't for me. It asked me to sign up and I just clicked the X then read the article.
  6. Click the link on the tweet. It's not hard.
  7. Fucking crazy that people are talking about moving Howe on. Give your heads a shake. Still 100% backing from me. 4th last year, and the escape the year before, were miracles. This year, 4th was always going to be much harder than last year just because of the extra games, and other teams strengthening around us. 7th would've always been an "OK" season this year. Throw in Tonali's ban and an injury crisis the likes of which we've never seen before and the season is a write-off. We just need to limp home and try again next year. If 7th was decent coming into this season, 11th isn't sacking level when you consider the above too. It's barely even disappointing. If anything, it's inevitable given what's happened. I'd be gutted if he left, and absolutely devastated if some dinosaur like Mourinho came in to replace him.

    Agree. There's a massive housing shortage in this country and all those already with houses and a 'NIMBY' attitude are preventing the next generation getting on the ladder they've gleefully pulled up behind themselves. But that's probably not for this thread!

    Because aside from the Hoppings, it's of neither use nor interest to almost anyone at all. It's one thing to say "isn't it nice we have it?", but how often do you or indeed anyone actually go there? And to do what? For almost all of us, it just exists. It could be infinitely better used. Could put a football stadium on it for starters.

    It may be unique but that's no reason to keep it. There's good reasons why no other city has "an expanse of agricultural land with grazing cattle in the heart of the city".

    Yeah the Town Moor is shit. It just exists, it's not really used in any way. Its only justification for existing in its current state is the freemen of Newcastle and their "grazing rights", but come on, it's 2024. Nobody cares about this anymore and it has no relevance in modern times, but yet it prevents anything being done with what would otherwise be a wonderful green space.

    Good point. Maybe the planning permission will go more smoothly if a part of the plan we fit Leazes Terrace with surface to air missiles to prevent any airspace incursions?
