I've no doubt he had respect for Sir Bobby but when he's getting paid millions a year and his name is in the headlines it is a classic case of egomania that afflicts a lot of young footballers in the modern game, not just English players.

I feel it is the latter that is the truth, hence why he is on that monotonous TV show trying to save face. At the time he was the rising star and held quite a bit of respect in the dressing room and a lot of players listened to him. Him spitting the dummy out was a catalyst for unrest in the dressing room. I remember that Boro game well. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ex-newcastle-united-man-kieron-dyer-7971459

RAWK is a Liverpool forum and when they have meltdowns on there, they are infamously spectacular. I haven't looked at your posts by the way, just explaining what he meant.

Certainly looks that way. For two seasons he was brilliant for us, I will never forgive him though for his part in Bobby Robson's departure from the club. He was the catalyst and in the end destroyed a young team that could have seriously challenged for silverware for a good few years. The little cunt.

This bloke is a fucking idiot! Typical Tory, never addressing the real issue at hand. There's only so much spin you can muster before the bullshit starts to stink. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/jeremy-hunt-an-absolute-disgrace-for-refusing-to-face-mps-questions-on-junior-doctors-strike-a6741931.html

This is a good read but a very sad story. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/nov/19/alan-nicholls-maverick-goalkeeper-plymouth?CMP=fb_a-football_b-gdnfootball?CMP=fb_a-football_b-gdnfootball

Toast Of London. Absolutely superb.

Who fucking cares, honestly? Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I was sitting in "The Corner", a few in our row had done one when Heskey scored. My dad used to refuse to leave even at the worst times, we went mental when that 4th went in. I miss the atmosphere of that period, the passion, the will to win. Even the quality on the pitch. Going to the match these days pales in comparison to those days. I thought a club was supposed to evolve?

I'd be happy with a repeat of this.

We need to score more than them.

I stopped reading the thread because of the shit that is being posted. Much better discussions on other forums.

The ultimate sacrifice, what a man.

Very tough game, they are bang in form. We need a major improvement in performance from the last game and really need to take any opportunities we get as I can see them scoring. 2-1

The French Connection I and II. Very well written crime films, a blueprint for future films that has never really been matched. The Experimenter, superb stuff and the research feels even more relevant in modern day society.

Hollande was at the match last night, maybe he was a target.

Sat in the seat maybe but I can't relate to a deranged extremist so I really can't say.

Apparently the bomber at the Stade De France had a ticket but was refused entry. That could have been absolutely horrific.

Excellent read. http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/11/13/hell-comes-to-paris/

People have totally missed this aswell. http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21678490-jihadist-group-attacks-hizbullah-stronghold-islamic-state-claims-twin-bombs?fsrc=scn/fb/te/bl/ed/islamicstateclaimstwinbombsinbeirut

In no way am I excusing these sick, deranged extremist cunts. They truly are fucked up. But if the West really wanted to end IS they could easily IMO but for monetary reasons. The Islamic shit has been going on for centuries and will do for ever more, it can be controlled though. My take on history might be a little skewed, any historians feel free to correct me. But the full timeline is: Mohammed rises to prominence in Mecca/Medina. His followers realise that the true seat of religious power in the Middle East is Jerusalem. So, on the pretext that Mohammed visited the city on a winged horse, they capture it, rip down Jewish and Christian holy sites and proclaim it for Islam. The Crusades were launched to take Jerusalem back. Meanwhile, Islam spread across North Africa and then expanded into Spain. After centuries, the reconquest took back Spain and it became Christian again (many Muslims are still crying foul over that. Once Muslim land, always Muslim land.) The Ottoman Empire expanded in all directions, even reaching Austria. The Arab/Islam golden age faded, and Western powers became dominant. Oil was discovered by Western companies in Arabia. The Saudis, especially, saw their new wealth as God-given, and assumed their divine mission was to export Islamism around the world to make the religion dominant again. The Sunni Saudis and the similarly oil-rich Shia Iranians began to clash over who were the true inheritors of Islam. Against this backdrop, the West got involved in two Gulf Wars. The first was just: Saddam had invaded Kuwait, and there was a large coalition, including many Arab nations, to liberate it. US troops on the holy soil of Saudi was a red rag to some Islamists. Two attempts were made to bomb the World Trade Centre in retribution. 9/11 succeeded. Many mistakes have been made since then, but to put all the blame for the current situation on 'us' is absurd and flies in the face of history.

Another thing I will add, the UK has just this year held the biggest arms fair in the world. How can this happen when they know for a fact that a lot of these arms will land in extremists hands? This is the height of capitalism and goes to show just how much the world leaders value the safety of "Their" people.
