Happy Face

Aye, she's not edumacated in economics like Chez or owt. But her view of Friedman as worse than the devil gets a pretty thorough rationale.

You not read the Shock Doctrine KSA? Naomi Klein would have cast Friedman in the Saddam Hussein role in the South Park Movie.

Whn it comes to terror, it's not quantity it's quality.

Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes are shit. Discuss. Finally got round to the new albums. Wasn't fussed cos I thought the last ones were way overrated. Still can't see what the fuss is about myself. Listineng to the latest PJ Harvey.

Managed to stay out of these circular debates for a few months....if there's even been any, but I can't let a factual error like that go..... Europol Report: All Terrorists are Muslims…Except the 99.6% that Aren’t Whoah there, stop bringing your namby pamby, leftie looney, Guardian reading, do gooder, bacon hating, hippy facts into the debate. What have facts and statistics got to do with anything? Can we please keep this debate sensible and stick to what the voices in our heads are telling us. It must stick in the craw of those other terrorist groups that their far greater effort at terrorising goes relatively unrewarded in terms of people actually feeling terrorised by it.

Managed to stay out of these circular debates for a few months.... it has been noticed Awww, thanks hon'

Simon Donald - "hoo noo broon coo", what was he on about, I'd get looked at daft if I said a lass looked like a coo. One of the Walker Wellies - "Shy bairns get noot" Do Walker folk say "Noot"?

Can you even buy a TV that isn't an LCD or plasma these days though? A black and white portable doesn't exist as a cheap alternative does it? Because even the cheapest models are bloody good nowadays. Don't see why their family couldn't have clubbed in together and got them one second hand for christmas for a couple of hundred on ebay. One of the posh silly cows was making the same point about someone having a blackberry....despite no phone supplier in the countryt currently offering shitty old models like a Nokia 610 or owt. Top of the range models are all free...except the ipod. Interesting episode of thinking allowed a few months back about poverty on Teeside... http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b010t...ical_Gardening/ Seem to recall they said that having a mobile...a tv....internet etc are basic needs, ownership of which doesn't necessarily correspond with a lift out of poverty. Best of all was these bitches complaining about the 'mod cons' the northerners had (so they can't be bad off) but after 1 day they were out spending their dole on Newcastle United merchandise and drink. Way to go without treats you fucking idiots.

What was this then?

Is it Crouch who's generated more in transfer fees than any other English player or summat daft like that. I like the fella, and not just becauise of his striking resemblance to me.

Have the accounts showed any income from Sports Direct for sponsorship? I think that's the worry about it being pasted on the shirts too.

I would predict a poor season for Liverpool, but I can't see anyone outside the top 6 being less poor. Can't stand Dalglish and think his buys have been way overvalued across the board.

That deal was done almost almost a decade ago

I think Man City's might just be a little bit dodgy. You don't say! But still, if the Emirates was worth £100M then surely we should be good for at least £50M? The Man City deal is £400m over 10 years for stadium and shirt. £40m a season innit? Man U got £20m a season for shirt sponsorship alone in 2009, so although a huge amount for a club that just won it's first trophy in donkeys, it looks to be about the going rate for a 'top club'. Didn't realise "Etihad’s literal meaning in Arabic is ‘united’" though

Can you not see the top of the east stand through the gate in the corner? Thought there'd be a photo by now if it was true.

But Enrique is away so we need a new left back too.

I thought Pardoo said we were just about done.

Spot on CT I don't buy that. As with the Carroll deal, neither the club or the player come out with any credit whatsoever. Without googling I thought it was about January. If you recall, he originally said he was going to start discussions when we were safe, then when the summer was here, then never. Not sure how that translates to the club busting a gut to tie him down in your mind. I didnt say that, I said they had been trying to tie him down, which they have. and I said I didn't buy it, cos I've seen nothing to suggest it

Amy Winehouse is dead!?

Whatever justification he has for selling players, reducing wages, investing on the cheap and replacing managers who are doing a great job, it's shit like this (if true) that shows his absolute disregard for what the fans think. No need whatsoever for it. In fact, it would be a particularly good PR move on his behalf to get rid of all the sports direct branding already in the stadium as an act of concilliation, because they are fully aware of the anger it provokes. Every season that they increase the SD presence in more garish ways is another slap in the face for fans. If I was his PR I'd be advising him to subsidise the childrens wing they're closing at the RVI (is it?) or to match donations to the SBR foundation for a year....it comes to something when something like that is out of the question and all you hope for from the twat is to paint over a garish sign.

I was gonna laugh at Brock for reading the book before I realised he was 8 when it first came out. As you were Manson.
