  1. as a Muslim, i'm just wary of the creeping rise of Christianity among the civil service
  2. Did you enjoy playing the role of Lucky Pierre at Gordonstoun?
  3. Great player; total legend Appalling pundit; his overuse of "guys" makes me ill As bad a manger as nufc have had since Charlie Mitten; the lo-carb Souness who believed making players wear suits & banning mobile phones rather than tactics was enough to keep us up in 09 - as culpable in our relegation as Ashley or Owen Hope he has the cojones to take on Blackburn job; suspect he won't
  4. As a Muslim, I find his comments deeply upsetting, but I'm glad he has apologised. Let this be an end to the matter
  5. My political compass has shifted to Jeremy Hunt's comments on abortion; that's the trouble with we polymaths; no concentration, no staying power
  6. i agree with you, but i don't want to hear any more stories about the likes of Delroy Smellie or Simon Harwood; same as i don't want to hear any more stories about the likes of Mark Duggan or that bastard in Manchester who shot the two officers
  7. i like the police a lot, but i think they should be regarded as civil servants, not tooled up avengers ready to dispense summary justice, Judge Dredd style, without regard to due process.
  8. Harry Pearson wrote a book about Belgium; "Tall Man in a Low land." In it he pointed out Belgium is the home of chips, beer & pigeon racing; sounds like ideally town twinning material with Tyneside.... It's to my deep shame I've never been to Belgium
  9. i know, but regardless of that; what about a memorial day for the likes of Iain Tomlinson? Innocent victims who lost their lives and left loved ones behind. Agreed?
  10. I notice last Sunday was the memorial day for police killed in the line of duty. When is it memorial day for civilians killed by police while on duty?
  11. is she telepathic? Cisse's goal was scored in the second half
  12. remarkably straightforward win, with everyone doing well. better than anyone expected i'd wager; best performance of the season?
  13. The highlights on MotD2 showed exactly what I maintain; we won the game comfortably 3 or 4-1 would have been a more representative scoreline. If Cabaye's free kick against Villa had gone in, we'd be 5th, which is about right
  14. when the Drumaville takeover was happening, several of them called for the banning of anyone who voiced any questions about this, or suggested it may not be a good idea. stalinism
  15. considering the shocking grammatical errors i've seen on the official site, perhaps he can teach the journalists something....
  16. so what training routine have you in mind for Pardew & the coaches then? i'm sure they're agog to hear what tips you have for them; play Santon in the hole, with Elliot in centre mid, Gosling in goal & Ferguson as a lone striker no doubt
  17. you're guessing wrong; i was in my seat in the Milburn Paddock, Leazes End; perhaps the acoustics are different where you are, but i don't recognise the scenario you claim marked the closing part of the game.
  18. which is different to hanging on. they had 3 serious efforts on goal, requiring 2 admittedly very good stops by Harper. last season we beat them 1-0 & it required a far better series of saves by Krul to ensure the victory. today wasn't comfortable, though it would have been at 2-0, but we were in no appreciable danger. still it's glad to see you understand football and politics to an equal measure
  19. Fairport Convention; "Unhalfbricking," then "Liege & Lief"
