I've remained silent because its boring. I argued against a ban for a long time as an admin and I'd let him back now...but only so we could ban him again after a couple of posts. Wasted my time defending him tbh. His tweets sum up everything he brought to the board. Not one bit of it worth reading after the first 17 times.

74 league appearances between them.

"jonas is Shit" "Simpson is Shit" "Willo is Shit" "shola is Shit" "sammy is Shit" "marveaux is Shit" "Anita is Shit" "ober is Shit" ...... "pardew should be sacked for not coming up with a formation that has us in the top 6" Some people are taking the piss.

Thought you were taking the piss Just iTunes. Created a playlist with at least one track from each then switched to album view. Print screen and save as .jpg

Newcastle United v Man City Saturday 15th
Happy Face replied to Christmas Tree 's topic in Newcastle Forum
If it was a 5pm game with a vocal/drunk support I would say it could be one of them games where we lift ourselves and get something. As its an early one atmosphere will be Shit and we'll get nowt. -
Pretty much entirely spot on.... Are Newcastle Coming Back to Earth? | 12-13 Predicted Points Position http://www.eplindex.com/23371/newcastle-coming-down-to-earth-predicted-position.html

Thanks for the heads up that the Caribou fella is doing stuff under another name. Downloaded that one on your advice. Only gig I ever saw in Sunderland was Caribou. Never expected him to do the arena or owt but that mackem pub was beneath him.

What a coincidence. Just downloaded that. We'll see.

I'd have deffo had Killer Mike, Alt-J & Django Django in a top 10, probably Swans and maybe Kendrick Lamar too, but in the spirit of new discoveries which others have provided me with their top tens, I'm gonna restrict myself by not including owt in anyone elses top 10 here or anything in the Metacritic top 10 either.... BBNG2 by BADBADNOTGOOD The LP is as chilled-out and smooth as one would expect from the genre, but the hip-hop influence gives the music such swagger that it could as easily soundtrack a joyride in a convertible as a study session. But most importantly (in my opinion), BBNG2 is proof that young musicians are capable of much more than angst and electropop. Badbadnotgood, along with peers like Blake and Odd Future, are bringing jazz back to the younger generations the way early hip-hop did, and I, for one, am immensely grateful. http://indiecurrent....g2-album-review Attack on Memory by Cloud Nothings Some albums move you. Others push you to buy a guitar. Cloud Nothings‘ third LP, Attack on Memory, does both, acting as an aural assault on the heart and the fingers. Singer-songwriter Dylan Baldi vocally gnaws at the microphone, though only when he’s butchering his strings over his now trademark garage punk. Pegged as a lo-fi venture by critics everywhere, Cloud Nothings’ last two albums hinted at genius, though they never fully resolved the balance between grit and wit. In a way, the band’s name felt poetically accurate: They were there, but with what? Well, now they’re with a band, and producer Steve Albini doesn’t hurt, either. http://consequenceof...tack-on-memory/ The Money Store by Death Grips Anger is an energy, some old punk once said; but it’s never quite been articulated like this, with negativity turned on its head and thrown at an audience as something to embrace. From the sci-fi dub sounds of ‘The Cage’ to the beating-M.I.A.-at-her-own-sort-of-eastern-sounds game that is ‘Punk Weight’, via the dälek-at-double-speed screams of ‘System Blower’, The Money Store thrills like no other set heard this year. http://drownedinsoun...reviews/4144782 Here by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes it's hard to find many flaws in this new disc from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Without Ray Lamontagne's writerly maudlin streak or Arcade Fire's song-hawker zealousness, Here nonetheless manages to exhibit just a little of both. These nine songs combine folk and indie-rock in a loosely produced midnight hootenanny that, while sepia-toned, is much more than sentimental fare. This is no Boy Scout jamboree: the Magnetic Zeros have both a sing-along community spirit and a lyrical bent that suggests a friendly sectarian church. http://thephoenix.co...tic-zeros-here/ Cancer 4 Cure by El-P El-P is an auteur in peak form here, weaving dense, cerebral verses packed with internal rhymes through a machine-tooled version of classic New York boom-bap with a gnarly, post-industrial edge—part KRS-One, part Cabaret Voltaire. Cancer For Cure is a triumph of imagination and intelligence in service of a pervasive sense of personal and political unease. http://www.avclub.co...for-cure,75288/ Some Nights by Fun. While fun.’s debut album Aim & Ignite definitely flowed in the vein of previous Format releases, the tempo, vibe, and attitude on Some Nights is decidedly more ambitious. The boys of fun. drew a lot of influence from notable hip-hop albums like Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Drake’s Take Care, two albums that perfectly fused emotion with extravagance. The result of these influences in combination with their previous indie-pop sound is what takes Some Nights to electrifying heights. http://absolutepunk....d.php?t=2639702 Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! by Godspeed You! Black Emperor The allure of the opening Mladic hinges on thudding rhythmic threats, all eight musicians lost in a storm of feral energy. After the menacing ambience of We Drift Like Worried Fire, the euphoric Their Helicopters Sing provides a celebratory release: an improvisational squall rises and falls before the band soar off on a Neu!-like rhythmic pulse. It's beautiful, thrilling and exhausting. The Godspeed ethos of wordlessly eliciting universal truths is remains as devastatingly effective as ever. http://www.guardian....ont-bend-review Beware & Be Grateful by Maps & Atlases The most interesting thing about Beware and Be Grateful is how it transposes traditional instrumentation onto more free-form structures. "Old and Gray" is in many ways a rock song, utilizing standard instruments, a verse-chorus structure, and a narrative vocal arc. But the way it mixes up and repeats elements, many of them products of singer Dave Davison's voice, is disorienting and thrilling. It recalls recent work by TV on the Radio, another group that reconstitutes nonverbal contributions from its singers within an intricate mélange of organic and electronic sources. http://www.slantmaga...e-grateful/2760 On The impossible Past by The Menzingers The Menzingers have moved past whatever they used to be. Once a punk rock group amongst a community of punk rock groups, On the Impossible Past has transformed them into a band of great American storytellers that not only deserve to be mentioned along with the best in the scene, but deserve your actual, undivided attention. This isn’t an album that should be listened to while you’re on Facebook in the background; this is an album that should have come out decades ago, before music would leak a month before its release date, so we could all sit at the foot of our beds and read along with the lyrics in the insert while we watched the record spin on our turntables. This is something that has no expiration date. http://www.absolutep...d.php?t=2623232 The Something Rain by Tindersticks It is a record that younger artists simply couldn’t comprehend, let alone create. And the reason for that is perfectly simple: it doesn’t fret or fuss in an attempt to answer its own questions. It does not attempt to shoehorn in choruses, solos or unnecessary middle-eights; nor does it rush to conclusions. It trusts itself: trusts its own skin, its own means and it does what it does in its own time. Never early, never late: it keeps its own measure and metre. And when intertwined through songs like these - urgent, beautiful and crafted out of fine woods and metals - the result is sumptuous and richly rewarding. To be able to create something this beautiful at such an advanced stage in a bands lifespan is a true testament to the skill and sorcery found in every limb, larynx and lovelorn heart of this band. The rain may continue to fall, but Tindersticks still provide an umbrella of exquisite solace. A record built on restraint, tinged by poignancy and wrapped up in poetic human emotion. Quite wonderful. http://drownedinsoun...reviews/4144500

Copy into notepad, replace all on words like "view" "conversation" "expand" then paste into here.... http://www.wordle.net/create Doesn't work very well on normal people who direct tweets at a range of people on a range of subjects, but is great for showing how disturbed LM is

There are hundreds of thousands more claiming benefits now. Think of Cameron as Pardew CT, just cos he managed a win against Wigan, it doesn't mean his season is looking to be a success, as pleasing as the 3 points are.

I used todays figure of 2.51m unemployed

Twitter is mint for wordle cos it's easy to copy all a persons tweets. Here's Leazes.. If I left "@Ant" or "@LeazesLad" or "@DarrellBirkett" in then everything else was so miniscule they couldn't be read so I took those and a couple of other high hitters out.

Unemployment was 2.49 million when Dave took office (May 2010) He took it to 2.68 million (Nov 2011) It's now 2.51 million. Up for his time in office. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10604117 Don't take a quarterly drop as a sign of good governance when it's just a correction to the big increases in previous quarters alongside an increase in seasonal workers brought in for the christmas build up.

LBT - if pardew doesnt get sacked - we will go down.

Getting rave reviews.... Current aggregate score at Metacritic is 99/100... A score that matches the likes of Seven Samurai and Shoah, and leaves classics like Metropilis (98) in it's wake. However..... Which is a lie. Propaganda...supporting war crime. Leading to... I thought Hurt Locker was shite too
