Happy Face

Wonder if the players and Hughton are all round Nolan's house now, deciding what to do....just like The Damned United?

Chelsea have won one in five. Everton haven't won a game in the last 6. It's nowt to do with form. Like Stevie says, Hughton would have been gone in October if he hadn't pulled out some amazing results.

There's very few managers that get sacked when they're more popular than the day they arrived. Hughton's one of the few ex-managers that will always find a pint waiting at any pub in Newcastle. I wish him all the best in what he does next, cos I know he reads the board. We were picking the team.

That's alright then. Ashley clearly deserves unswerving support.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh Bell ends man.

Why would they, Shay Given hardly gets plaudits for refusing to work with the fat prick does he?

Anagram of Teve Bruces?

Going back to the start of last season.... http://www.toontastic.net/board/index.php?...st&p=738717

They've made a song and dance about promotion from within. Which backroom staff are left at the club? Steve Stone Peter Beardsley Joe Joyce Willie Donachie

Better that than in the first week of February, if we believed there was going to be any cash to splash in the first place. I expect a full time appointment on Febuary 1st. Unfortunately they'll be unable to spend the tens of millions they wanted to during the window as the club is in a state of flux. They're a joke.

Just fuck off. Gerry Francis?

Just in time for the January window by the way. Surprise surprise.

And Paul Baron?

Cotton Eye Joe Pulled wor lass with my 6'5" moves on that one, whatever Gemmill would have you believe about lanky dancers

Do you realize Always reminds me of my nanna dying. "Do you realise, that everyone you know, someday, will die. and instead of saying all of your goodbye's let them know you realise that life goes fast, It's hard to make the good things last."

I was impressed by him when he was on x-factor. Miming shite, but he'd push me strong in a dance-off.

a list that anyone with acces to Google could put together in about 10 minutes..................... wow - th emain pumping station on Gazproms W Siberian pipeline is a risk!!! Bears, woods, s*** That's the kind of response I've argued against from Kunt, so I don't accept it in this instance either. Just because information is available in some form if you hunt for it, it doesn't mean there's no value (or risk) in compiling it all together and showing that the government recognise it.

maybe he is here, and posting as Happy Face Thanks for the compliment. Going back to the original quote, which high value terrorist targets have we killed in the UK in the last decade like? I only know of one extrajudicial killing related to terrorism in the UK in the last decade, and that hardly worked out well did it. It'd hardly be treating Assange "the same" to kill him without charge. which means someone is quietly getting on with their job ie the whole idea. I expect if someone DID get killed, the namby pambys would be up in arms about not giving him the "chance to surrender" etc - do you understand the very fact you have heard nothing, is indicative of at least a degree of effectiveness of the "need to know" system. You aren't supposed to know. Shame someone doesn't just shoot someone like Abu Hamza mind, but that's another story, as I said, some people would be up in arms about him and proclaiming his innocence, or unproven guilt to put it another way. FWIW I hope someone does shoot Assange, he has asked for it for what he is doing. I for one would applaud whoever did it. Advocating killing on the internets. Exactly the sort of thing you want Awlaki killed for.

My lass got more than that. Though she did just put "knobhead" for Robbie Savage.

This deserved more of a response than I had time for last night. On the over egging. I'd ask where that has occurred? I've not seen Sky Sports style adverts from Wikileaks hyping anything as the golden bullet or owt. They generally say what they're going to leak then leak it, making no promises on the quality of the content. That said, much of it is of value. I've repeatedly referred to the wide range of matters we weren't aware of or which hadn't previously been confirmed. I'd agree, there are many examples where all the cables do is provide evidence of what had already been widely reported. But evidence is important....it makes denials implausible . Whether or not the government crush legal action against torturers or refuse victims their day in court, it informs an electorate who can see the the facts for themselves rather than balancing an argument of claim and counter-claim. I see where you'r coming from on being more selective on what they release, however I can also see the argument being made that if they themselves make decisions on what the public see and what they don't then they're no better than the ineffective new media who are entirely subservient to the ruling class, more interested in towing the line in order to get access for the next story, rather than being an antagonistic check that doesn't mind breaking a few eggs in order to make an omelette. Too much of the media (just about all TV news and newspapers) is about balance nowadays, there is no truth according to them, just what the right say and what the left say, that's why a lot of the coverage concentrates on Wikileaks the organisation and Assange the man rather than the leaked info...they can invite on a guest to show support and a guest to rage against them and have it out on air, providing the illusion of any debate whatsoever about the real issue. The truth of the leaks themselves gets almost entirely relegated from the agenda. Can you imagine a newsman just doing a piece to camera where he lists the facts revealed in the leaks? I've not seen it. I don't think the leaks pin any blame for deaths in Iraq where they don't belong, as you suggest. Show me where the leaks blame the US for any insurgent violence or that of Iraqi forces. I think what the leaks do show on that score is that the US were keeping count (and denied it). They show that their count was a lot higher than they'd admit publicly too, and they'd mis-classify a lot of victims (whoever did the killing) as combatants when they're actually civilians.

It's telling how the Wikileaks opposition flip from "nothing new here, go about your business" to "this is the gravest threat to national security and all involved should be murdered". Desparate.

I can't imagine I can recommend much you haven't heard....I must be getting old because I've not listened to half the new music I have in years gone by, it's all radio 4 podcasts nowadays. That said, heard a lush track by Tobacco called Stretch Your Face last week on the all songs considered. Not listened to the whole album (Maniac Meat) yet. But that track was right up my pop alley.

Always thought he was largely shite. Did like the line "there is no sight more pathetic than that, of an Englishman in a baseball hat" or something like that. Don't think he's received a particularly great deal of praise outside of NME though really.

So I know what well received stuff I haven't heard yet and need to have a listen to.
