How could anyone possibly not find this funny?

Or you're just not funny. -

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

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. -

As footballers or people? -
I dont particulary hate any clubs on the whole and especially not for years on end. Managers and players change. Dont really care about supporters to be honest...although Arsenal fans do think they are gods gift at the min (well, maybe a month ago!)

Given and Harper can hold the fort for me until Forster, Krul or the new Scandy steps up,

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ted/7304490.stm Tosser. Whats wrong with that???? Every day he's got something to say. Times yesterday, Radio Newcastle today. He should concentrate on his own game rather than worrying about Keegan or the fans publicly. Footballers do get interviewed. Its probably part of their contract to be honest. Way OTT reaction imo. -

Because he's constantly spouting shite about contracts what he's going to do blah, blah, blah when he should be concentrating on his game Wasnt it is father/agent doing most of it though? -
Spot on team for me as well.

I agree with Sima....for possibly the 1st time ever.

I dont get all this Taylor bashing. Guess it fashionable these days though. -
He has been terrible for Liverpool this season by all accounts.
