Oceans 13 - meh. -
If I was KK i'd be straight on the phone to Southgate. He'd take Smith off us.

Oscar-tastic I've heard. Perhaps released a tad early though. -
Agreed he's not at the level of James, but he's better than Carson, Kirkland and Green etc... I concur.

2 girls 1 cup for me Oh, and I saw a lion eating a man (in a cage) on YouTube recently. Sick. -
Tottenham Hotspur 1- 4 Newcastle Utd
Holden McGroin replied to Happy Face's topic in Newcastle Forum
Just got back from the match. Quality performance. Everyone was quality. I was in the Spuds end so couldnt celebrate. Very annoying. -

You're southern, you have the as much emotion as a fuckin hearse driver. Cried non stop for 40 minutes after I seen it first time, red coat set me off, even if they were Spurs fans. I'm from Wallsend. -

Schindlers List. My first viewing. i was expecting it to be a lot more emotional. The only scene that stood out in terms of emotion was the naked shower/gas scene for me. 8/10 -
Prefer FF myself. Are you on Windows or Mac btw?

Lennon didnt make either squad as well. -
The various permutations of coffee and tea.
Holden McGroin replied to Park Life's topic in General Chat
Well technically caffeine in normal amounts doesn't actually do a great deal physiologically to wake you up (it's mostly placebo), but it does tend to leave you feeling a lot worse afterwards. Plus too much caffeine and/or withdrawal symptoms can give you a stinking headache (which I suppose wakes you up in a round about way ). It'd probably have been banned by this Government long ago if it wasn't so nicely taxable. I very rarely drink coffee or coke but when I do I can never get to sleep at night. Just 1 cup/glass will do it. -
Probably be people on your exchange using this BBC iPlayer

Holden McGroin replied to Dr Kenneth Noisewater's topic in Newcastle Forum
I'm not sure whether Wheater done it over a sustained period of time to get a call up. -
He's the best keeper I've ever seen in b&w too but while he has been a world class shot-stopper I think other aspects of his game are what prevents him from being 'world class' in goal. In particular his distribution and his inability to command his area / being weak at collecting crosses. It's just being realistic imo. Yup he definitely has had his weaknesses, but at his very best he was pretty good with very few really noticeably better than him overall. Although I'd agree with maybe not being world class, but that's mostly because very, very few players actually are "world class". That was sort of my point too. It's an overused phrase. I was using the term world class as in "one of the best keepers in the world at the time" kind of way. You said he was world class now though. Well he is one of the worlds best. Is he fuck. Was up until this season then.

I'd disagree. We criticise our own players too much imo. Then watch Cech for 6 games a season and declare him the best in the world. Whatever class you rate him in, he has been our best keeper in my lifetime and possibly ever.
-
So we'd swap one keeper who has had 1 bad season for another? Do you reckon world class goalies will be queuing round Barrack Road to join us like? Why do we need to sign a world class kepper when we've already got one?? Hopefully this op will sort him out.

Newcastle Reserves and Wesley Ngo Baheng
Holden McGroin replied to OBAFEMI MORGAN's topic in Newcastle Forum
I've always wondered why Edgar hasn't had a sniff despite our woeful defensive displays. I've always wondered why Huntington always seemed to be ahead of him in the pecking order. And Rambo. -
