11-year old shot dead in Liverpool
Holden McGroin replied to Hatful Of Hollow's topic in General Chat
You never really saw any gun crime in Liverpool 10 years ago (a bit of drug dealer v drug dealer stuff, but it was specific to serious organised criminal gangs, nothing like these recent incidents). Something has gone seriously wrong with the country in the last 10 years, and broadly it's much like when they raise orphaned chimpanzees without adults to guide them. The end up with seriously messed up violent adult chimps, without adults to slap them down and teach them how to behave as they grew up. The UK has pretty much created a human lab where adolescents believe they are untouchable by the law (and largely they are) and adults are too scared to discipling them (as they law would crucify them) which just further adds to their feeling of untouchablility. Wishy washys alway go on about how fear isn't a good thing to rule by, but frankly a group of 15 year old should be afraid of the act and consequences vandalizing an adults car..... never mind of beating said adult to death, but they aren't. It's no wonder we have a record 390,000 a year leaving this country. Good post. I've just started the process of emigrating . Last week i was walking to the gym at 7am and saw 5 (guess about 17-19 year old) kids scrapping with Hammers and sticks in the high street! And i live in a pretty decent area. -
I'm absolutely skint...and my boiler has just packed up. Great timing! Friday: Stay in and watch "Them". It'd better be good whoever recommended this in other thread! Sat: Penultimate pre-season friendly match. Cash in my copper jar Sun: Bike ride. Watch the Toon. Paint some skirting boards. Mon: Gym. Might have a spring clean. No getting pissed for me. Might have a couple of beers watching the Boro match. Thats it

Steven Taylor still Pearce's captain in waiting
Holden McGroin replied to Dr Kenneth Noisewater's topic in Newcastle Forum
True, although I rated Elliott more highly as a youngster. Aye, Elliott I used to rate a lot, but he got that really bad injury at the start of his Bolton career and never looked anywhere near the same player. He had 2 bad knee injuries at the Toon IIRC before Bolton. I heard thats why Dogleash sold him. He had a blinder and scored a good goal against Leeds iirc in the match where he (re-) done his knee. He was never quick anyway but I think he lost a bit of pace with that. He still looked a good player though and I think I'm right in saying that Dalglish played him in every league game after he arrived often on the left of a midfield 3. He looked good there but he was sold and Pistone arrived I think got the double leg break on his Bolton debut (home debut mebbies). I seem to remember it was the Monday night after Princess Diana died, i.e. the day after our game against Liverpool was cancelled. The fucking bitch. Can remember coming downstairs and my mother telling me the game had been cancelled cos Priincess Di had died. I was gutted.......that the game was off. -

I think Albert was a tad over rated as a defender. People just remember his rampaging runs (and that chip) but all in all...was an average defender imo. Defensively better than Howey and a better footballer too (especially pre-injury). They were both sweepers essentially, preferring to drop-off, I just felt Albert was better at reading the game (and in just about every other aspect) and he transformed Peacock as a player too. Peasy was on the verge of boo-boy-dom at one point. I can remember Wee John Spencer out jumping him then going on to score v Chelsea at home one year. Got his act together in the end though. -

True, although I rated Elliott more highly as a youngster. I thought Super Robbie would become an England international before his first bad injury. Lost 2 yards of pace after he did his knee in. Horrible luck. -

I rated him. Injuries nobbled him and Elliott to shells of their former selves in the latter days. -
Is that a FACT ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz you ever read Cockney Wanker in The Viz? Nah, stopped reading it when I reached puberty.

*puts tenner on ManU to get relegated*
Holden McGroin replied to Asprilla's topic in Newcastle Forum
I'm not sure I'd go that far yet. They've had a good start, but a long way to go yet (not even Sven's luck can hold out for that long ). Love the way some people blinker their opinions of Sven on their disatisfaction of his role as England coach. His club record is awesome and it's no suprise to me that Citeh have started the season as they have. Big spending and luck, just like this season (so far). What did Sven do to beat Man U? Nicked 1 goal with almost the only chance in the game and just held on. He's not a terrible manager, but he is a very lucky one. I'd love to have a lucky manager. -
Owen lost to a life of luxury
Holden McGroin replied to Dr Kenneth Noisewater's topic in Newcastle Forum
Im not convinced at all with the 4-3-3 especially with the current personnel. Too many players wasted out of position. -
