Happy Face

So seeing your boss with his head in his hands sitting with the fans in his newcastle strip, on the front page of the news of the world football section will have a positive impact on the team??? dont think so I wouldn't have thought the team would give a shit. In fact when Sam Hamman used to do it, it was seen as an eccentricity and his team loved his passion.

Giggs at left back and Vidic up front? Fergie out tbh

I can't find the proper one....

Glad to see this has all turned around in the last 3 years.

I just think we have "holes" in the team, therefore even short term buys would have been a good thing. You don't have to think long term in everything you do. Football is always such that a player who improves the team is worth buying at the right price and at the right terms. You replace with better as you go. We have had a small squad, low on quality and numbers up front all season and have played a dangerous game. Now its all going tits up. We could be in a serious position here now. Agree with most of that. The flak I took for suggesting we should freshen the squad for the run-in (even one quality player gives the side a lift) was people locked into an imaginary mindset that there are perfect times to buy players and bad times. There is IMO never a bad time to buy a quality player. It won't be any easier in the summer either if we finish 4th bottom etc... You never got flak for saying we need some qulaity, everyone agrees with that. You got flak because you were going on like Keegan didn't think so too...even though he was chasing people at the time.

He mentioned it and didn't seem too bothered. He said this is the way it is and you'd rather be involved in that sort of thing than not. Very happy with 7 subs too. Around the 38 minute mark.

Obviously a foreign spy.

Derby Chairman was on 5 Live this morning saying how one game abroad can bring in 10% of their seasons income, which basically justifies it for the lower teams. I can't see how that's any justification if they draw Man Utd in the extra game and end up relegated because the fellow strugglers got Newcastle and an easy 3 points. Seems a gamble of Drangons Denesque proportions.

Is Football so different here these days. I've never been to a 4 hour game of football.

The audio is up on the BBC... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/t...ted/7227055.stm

Sport is treated like cinema in the US. A way to sell snacks.

"Sometimes you can take advantage of a situation and get what I call lucky." Way to invent a word Kev.

I spent yesterday listening to Blue Cathedral by Comets on Fire and as much as I really enjoyed it, it's not as good as Avatar. Can't wait for a new one. Today it's been In The Future, the new Black Mountain one. I think I like it better than the eponymous album, even though there's nowt as good as Modern Music and the fella sometimes strays into Ozzy mode on it.

Maybe if you were a Gannet.

Any links to listen again?

Aarón Ñíguez Carlos Coto Sergio Asenjo I'm sure Ernie is already on it though.

Have people forgotten that Zoggy refused to sit on the bench? I'm still suprised by his popularity when he's been far more of a twat than Bellamy, and not half as good.

My mam got his autograph too, at Gosforth races. Proper ladies man.

It's a shame SBR wasn't this popular when he got us 5th place and 75% of the fans buggered off for an early pint. He should have resigned then. We didn't deserve him. But then, he's more honorable than that 75% will ever be.

Bonnie? Bondie? They're basically the kind of words used by people who don't toast their bread for soldiers. Makes me sick to my stomach even thinking about it.

I think we should just continue laughing at them.

Is it not a bontfire? Otherwise why's it called a 'bonty'?

Why are we signing diminutive actresses? If answers.com says there are only two definitions, then there must only be two definitions, rather than some crazy modification of the latter. They're giving aspiring actresses sex changes and hoying them in goal? Someone ought to say something.

A scene made for Carry on Doctor, they dropped the ball with that one.
