    Newcastle Metro - How Do You Get Tickets etc?

    I did it a few weeks ago using my phone which doesn't have a popcard loaded on it.

    Steve Bruce on Mike Ashley

    This thread title... It's not a terribly romantic vision which springs to mind, is it?

    Interview with Finn Azaz in the Athletic

    Finn Azaz sits upright on the sofa and takes a moment to think about what he is going to say. “His name was Matt Avery,” he says. “He wasn’t old. I met Matt’s family, his wife and kids. I went to his house and got to know the family. He was at St Luke’s and was ill. We became friends.” Azaz is...

    Who cares, you can just flip the police like Robot Wars if they take issue with your new ride.

    Player autographs

    There were usually a few people hanging around for players arriving. My dad took me to get my FA Cup final shirt signed by the team in the 1990s. One of the stupidest things I did as a child was to wear the thing and spill food all over it, necessitating a wash...

    How many of the Left Wingers on Here, have got Tickets for Question Time in the Boro, this coming Thursday?

    Man who looks suspiciously like a local mayor with a comedy moustache asking flattering questions about Teesworks progress. Lady from the mean streets of Yarm asking about the boats washing up there with immigrants. Person who once visited Hartlepool for 20 minutes asking if the the NHS might...

    Flashing lights at games ( ad boards)

    In years to come we will just have green sponsor boards and augmented reality glasses which project adverts aligned to your online preferences, so enjoy it while it lasts. Although for some people, they will still see flashing, but maybe a different type...

    Worst Boro player/manager/chairman inteviews?

    I'm not saying that McClaren was wrong with his sentiments, but as a PR manoeuvre it was not brilliant to say that they were trying to educate the crowd.

    Kate, Princess of Wales - not seen this year.

    Maybe he's got a phone which makes a composite image using AI to ensure that everyone is smiling. No mean feat when children are involved. I bet Holbein never had these problems when he was banging out royal portraits.

    Devastating 1992 BBC documentary about Poverty in Hemlington.

    A bleak but interesting video. I'm probably a similar age to the kids of those ladies interviewed. Uncomfortable to see how some had to scrape by.

    Five things that Irritate me about modern day football....

    Nobody has a player with a bit of a gut, blowing out of his backside before half time and yet you know that every now and then he's going to score a simply sublime goal. Managers who have to remind us that they work for a football club, as though I'd confuse them with Tony who runs the bar at...

    Watford sack Valerian Ismael

    They're like Sugababes FC, aren't they? If you're in the industry and are available to start soon, you have a good chance of joining.

    Are you a sports fan or just a football fan ?

    I'd watch other sports at an elite level, as even when you don't understand every rule it can still be an interesting/exciting spectacle. I've enjoyed going to a Superleague game in the past and one of the NFL games at Wembley, but there's only Boro who I feel emotionally invested in when...

    Just left the Town Hall.

    They have quite modern systems. In my local authority each address who have paid is flagged on the big screen in the cab as they go round and the householder gets a big colourful sticker to put on with the year you've paid for clearly marked.
