Happy Face

Hugo Weaving has been in more high grossing films. http://www.the-numbers.com/people/HWEAV.php Samuel Jackson has pulled in most filthy lucre for the studios though I think... http://www.the-numbers.com/people/SLJAC.php Smith is small potatoes in comparison.

i'd definitely have Taylor in the team given our options by the way

and hes rubbish! That's the response I was waiting for, it matches the Micah Richards response from this debate last time around.

No way is kick off going to be on time.

Archos have announced new models... http://www.archos.com/products/imt/archos_...bal〈=en

Happy Birthday Glen Johnson.

How old is Glen Johnson?

why? Crowd congestion Well i dont think so mate, plenty of people will be in the ground before 2 to get free pint, and i can only see a minority paying on the day...i forsee no problems tbh The vast majority aren't daft enough to be swayed into the stadium an hour early for one free pint when the next three will cost them £11.

I know a lot of fans lap it up. I can't stand it personally. If he's had a shit game and someone else has been immense, he's still there lapping up the other man's applause until the fat lady sings. I was amazed he didn't join Shearer for his lap after the testimonial.

Nicky Butt didn't acknowledge magnificent support for a woeful performance. Steven Taylor walks around a half empty stadium giving it the full Maximus Decimus Meridius even when the team have been booed off. Both equally pathetic.

Forgot to take your medication today? Evidently he hasn't. The way people go on about Steven fucking Taylor is a joke man.. He's about as good as Kevin Scott (*) was back in the mid-late 80s. Largely suspect the pro-Taylor clan will have to google that one Well i rate him, yes he was poor last season but you can see he has the ability and potential to be a rock solid centre half, him and colo will be a trememdous pairing in defence. I just dont get all the stick he comes in for when he is heads and shoulders better than most we've had at this club in recent years. He's better than Boumsong, Rozenhal and perhaps Cacapa on a bad day... but he's no better than the rest. He had visions of being the next Woodgate here - doesn't hold a candle to him IMO. And his worst characteristic of all is he believes in all the hype about him. Like any human being he has his flaws, but he has the makings of a top quality CB...i think had he not signed a new contract all of the top 4 would of been monitoring the situation. Yes he sometimes loses his man, yes he can be a bit mellowdramatic in the box and do daft things at times, but at 21/21 thats to be expected. The boy has massive pressure on his shoulders, our only true geordie lad in the team, and probably the most important position on the pitch. Personally i think he has coped astoundingly well and have 100% faith he will develope into our captain and rock at the back. People seem to forget his age and the fact he has been paired with numpties at the back for a few years...he hasnt had a high quality partner at the back until now. Hold judgement until january when then we will see how well he has done with colo alongside him... He's closer to 23 than 21 like. People had a similar perspective on Ameobi at that age too.

why? Crowd congestion

My prediction is kick off will be delayed by one hour.

...and the clock seems to be 15 hours fast.

Almost Beardsley's first birthday as a Toon hero. Time for another perhaps?

And it's to your credit.

Did you do this drawing yourself Stevie? I can just imagine your tongue poking out the side of your mouth with concentration as you try to keep the lines straight. It's lovely, has your mam put it on the fridge for you?

Not unreasonable that the British media concentrate on British deaths when they occur like. Sky Sports News tends to focus most of it's time on British sport too.

I'm not so sure. When it's leading to the majority of people refusing to do manual labour which leaves all those jobs to immigrants while there's an ever growing cost to social services (as those jobs are seen as below both dropouts AND those with a worthless degree), you could sell a plan to undo Labours notion of EVERYONE going to University.

Twat. Put him in my dream team when they said he'd be fit for Man U, and took him out when they said he'd miss Bolton.

I just looked through a mock GCSE higher paper for my degree subject and though I'd probably pass, I know I'd drop a load of points without going back and reading up on some stuff. http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebit...mockh2_calc.pdf Mostly because it's been ten years or so since I finished, but still, it's not exactly a piece of piss. I think the difference is, a pass was only 3 grades previously (A-C), now it's 4 and people are advocating 5. I genuinely think kids are able to grasp more than they could previously, and it's just shifting everyone up the grades based on similarly difficult exams. Rather than add new top tier grades, they really need to re-address the scale of the existing A-E to ensure that the best people get A-C.

130,000 years of evolution and we're supposed to stop getting more intelligent all of a sudden?

I particularly liked this bit... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7571483.stm I don't know why leprechauns are more ridiculous to me than Nessy or Sasquatch, they just are.
