Therein lies much of the problem - male pride, ego and a perception that only women talk about their problems. So the answer is what, bottle it up until it gets so bad that someone near the edge reaches for the rope?

Yep. El Ghazi completely bossing him.

It ain't the talk, it's the change of tactics. The players don't adapt, and to be fair to Ralph, he has.

Give him time to settle this half. He'll be OK.

I'm with you in this, although I'm fancying us for 3 goals in a cracking game, and win.

Cheers SOG. Men's suicide rates are through the roof, and the general unwillingness to talk about their MH is a big issue. Groups like mangang are really helping - I have a few ex army mates suffering ptsd who have found them a literal lifesaver. Their strap line is "its not weak to speak" and that's a message that needs to be heard over the archaic "man up" nonsense.

Jordan Ibe, Jefferson Lerma, Solanke and Philip Billing...you get the point.

I think that's right, at least the shift to a back 3.

5-0 now. Both wing backs have scored and all of the back 3 are youngsters Inc Valery, Lancashire on the bench. Encouraging.

The owners don't determine if a club probably in or around the relegation zone when the window opens, gets relegated. They've got to persuade decent players to join them in that position and hope that Howe can get them playing and winning. I just don't see them getting the players, particularly if they understand that if Newcastle stay up, they'll doubtless be upgraded in the summer window. It'll be greedy journeymen for me and I hope they go down.

The point is that your post almost pre-supposed he'd buy quality players and project them up the table. His track record though is to waste money on crap. Also, no decent players will join a relegation fight. I'd guess that he'll end up with what he's got and some greedy journey men.

That's about enough money to buy another Jordan Ibe, Jefferson Lerma, Ake, Solnke and Philip Billing. They're Howe type signings. I like Howe, but his transfer deals have been appalling.

I don't have covid!! Are you seriously saying that we should lockdown because there's a nasty cold going around?!

Ha!!! Fair enough mate. I hope you do the right thing and rebuild that wall!!

I'm sure Dave and JWP will be delighted that you've posted that on a forum.

Yep. They've gotten the masses to the point that they accept the unacceptable as acceptable. In doing that, those complaining about it are made out as the bad guys. That, with an untouchable majority, and piss weak opposition, ain't good.

No, jobs still need doing and deadlines need meeting, but those inclined to put their feet up and still get paid could fill their boots.

Me and my wife were talking about this last night. Everyone I know who's had it bad has been double vaccinated with the Oxford vaccine. My wife has had it since we were at the iow festival, it disappeared for a week or so, but has bounced back with a vengeance. Weird stuff.

There's logic in that theory. Could see that happening, although I wouldn’t be surprised if Howe did well at Everton.

As outrageous is this is, nothing will come of it. Loads of these Tory MP's are new ish to the job and will want to stick around / progress so won't defy the whip. By the time of reckoning at the next GE this'll have been forgotten, but even if it were tomorrow, the Tory masses won't suddenly shift to Labour or the Liberals over this.

Robbie Fowler was a poacher extraordinaire. I remember his performance for Cardiff down here. He didn't score that day, and he was a lazy sod, but his movement was something else and great to watch. On another day he could have had a hat trick. Rush was the same.
