  1. Willo has done a good job for us this year. He'll need to be replaced in the first XI if we want to progress though. I'd rather play Saylor over him as well.
  2. That brings back memories. I played Whitburn on a windy day when I was about 14. I'll never go back again. It just wasnt fun. I prefer Woodland courses.
  3. Source Code. Good movie by Zowie Bowie. 7.5/10 Sketetons - Quirky & English. 7/10
  4. I always take x amount on a night out then have to get my debit card out. Suppose it could work both ways if we couldnt pay for drinks via debit in bars. Not get too hammered or be annoyed you have to go home early.
  5. Im just getting back into the madness really. I played a lot when I was younger (up until about 19-20) then I moved down south and left my clubs in the Toon. Only got them down about 3 years ago. My favourite course was Arcot Hall back in the day. Lovely course. Having a bit of a golfing/football tour next month. 7-a-side tourny in Newquay with a bit of Golf around the Dartmoor/Plymouth area on the way.
  6. I have a feeling it could be fake....
  7. Jose is back on twitter!!!! Confirmation required by Danny Simpson... Josenufc3
  8. Wise words like IMO. And I'm not coming at it purely from the angle of protecting this place, I just reckon you might want to be careful what you're typing in public view. Aye. Just lock the thread then? I'll pm trusted people the crack when it comes through. You know I'm trustworthy Stevie!!
  9. Are you saying that CT needs to bathe a bit more?
  10. Keep talking all you want old man, but you're not going to get me to argue with you. Try your wife now that ASM has gone. you're showing your immaturity again.

  12. There is an app for the iphone that does the same job. Costs about £18. But an iPhone costs more Does it not cut out with the shit phone signal on a course too? Probably. There is normally 150 yard marker to the green anyway - which normally does the job. Is it that useful on the course?
  13. A bit like himself. Edit: Whoops. I see about 5 people got there before me. Note to self. Read full thread before posting.
  14. I'm sorry mate but you know nothing. Leazes is the fifth best poster on here. In the last 4 years good posters like Leazes have gone and been replaced by inferior posters. This board has been dropping down the posting list for years now, who is to blame for this? Who is repsonsible for the loss of profile and the decline in interest? The lack of ambition of the current posters is there for all to see, in fact I pointed this out 4 years ago and the likes of you refused to admit that I was right and you were wrong. I'm not claiming to know anything, if you re-read what I wrote I said I wasn't having a go at leazes. All I am saying is I would like some variety in the posts I read, not the same argument in 5 different threads, is that too much to ask? Wooshed. Leazes just has to be the bigger man and not bite when provoked. Saying that he lays his own bait. He has mentioned burkas and so forth in other threads in hope of an argument. Its either muslims or shepherd. Nothing else. He'll come on here in a sec suggesting he does contribute to other threads but that might be about 1% of his posts compared to his normal inane circular arguments. I post a lot more than just about muslims and Shepherd, unfortunately, you notice these because they attract your attention because you think you know best. I don't lay any "bait", I state facts, if I left personalities out of it when I respond to similar, you would agree with the facts, depending how intelligent you are that is. Give me the facts instead of personalities, and there is no debate to be had. Told you. Anyway, I was offering you some advice that would benefit Toontastic. I hope you take it on board.
  15. 8 is pretty good. Not play anymore Parky? I've just found a decent iphone app (free version of an app i just mentioned in another thread). Basically downloads just about any course scorecard that you know of. After each hole you pop in: [A) The club you drove with + whether it went right/left/centre etc Your score and how many putts you had [C] Plus and penalties and sand shots. When the round is complete it emails you the scorecard. It then puts it all in pretty graphs and you can monitor you performance over the past 5,10,20 etc rounds via your iphone or the website. Cool shit. The GPS version lets you know how far away you are from the green etc. Its called Golfshot

  17. That was more a high offside line that failed rather than being too attacking I thought. Yep. He tried to compress the game but they just knocked the ball in behind the defenders and won comfortably. The amount of attacking talent Jose has in the team you'd think they'd be able to cause Barca more problems. Who am I to talk though. He has won the Champs League twice with 2 different teams and loads of league titles.

  19. Danny Simpson confirmed it yesterday.
  20. What reason do you have that makes you believe that? And why didnt Liverpool do that with the Torres money? Out of interest, if we hadn't of sold Carroll how much transfer kitty do you think FMA would should have budgeted for this Summer? That should really be added to the £35m. Of course it wont be.
  21. I't would only be a good deal if every penny was to be re-invested. It wont, so its not a good deal.
  22. We bought Woodgate in the January, ahead of the summer and the summer budget to attempt to seal a top 4 finish and Champions League qualification,ie forward planning, good management. Which worked. This might not fit your "opinion" or any motive you have to beat anybody with a stick if you can find one, but nevertheless it is fact. Some people don't like the truth. Sorry but that is true. I'm not arguing with the Woodgate signing, more the point that there was heat from the stands and he sacked Robson to deflect the heat from him. Sacking Robson a few games into a new season was hardly "forward planning" and "good management" though was it? Anyway, I was just making a point about the selfishness of sacking of Robson rather than how good or bad shepherd performed. As I've mentioned before, I think overall he did a good. There is no denying he made a lot of mistakes though. hindsight is easy. If you are arguing about a matter of principle, then if you think they should have stuck with Robson then you should also think they should have stuck with Gullit and Dalglish. I'm arguing/suggesting that he prevented the fans directing any anger at himself by sacking Robson. The Gullit & Dalglish comments are just playing devils advocate I assume. Both were terrible managers and the damage they did to the team (mainly personnel) was irrecoverable. To be fair though, a number of fans thought Bobby should "move upstairs" at the time. Easy to brush that under the carpet but its true. Then again we do have some moronic supporters (like all other clubs). I can remember seeing an associate of my Dads with a petition to get Keegan sacked (in his first stint). Unbelievable.
