They're going to show it when you polish that sideboard.

Curtis Mayfield - Freddie's Dead I only wish that HAD been the story of the day.

Any pics from St James'? I'm not working up there any more but word from those that do is that there's been a steady throng all day.

Eh? Who's our lot? there were 30,000 went. The players, only two turned up didn't they? ah, right. Goes to show what I think of the current crop when you say 'our lot' and it doesn't occur to me what you could possibly mean.

All the best

Eh? Who's our lot? there were 30,000 went.

hear hear.

good one WBA Fulham Ipswich and us. That is a cracking idea tbh. Barcelona might pull bigger crowds like. Sir Bobby's Wiki page has crashed. Never happened to Michael Jackson.

Get the feeling whoever arranged that game gave him something to strive towards and once it passed the fight was over.

Just heard off a lad in the office. Thought I was gonna cry for a second. That would have been embarrassing. Thanks for everything Sir Berb. You'll live forever.

Why's that? Take a look at the nominations this year, and any other year for that matter. Atonement Babel Capote The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Frost/Nixon Milk The Reader Sideways The Pianist Gosford Park Its all pretentious shite. Give me Iron Man or The Hangover over any of them Have you seen all those films? Seems a bit daft slagging them off otherwise. And 'pretentious' must be one of the most overused (and misused) words in the English language. I really don't see how they're all pretentious. Seems people just apply it to anything of a non-lighthearted nature. IIRC Sideways completely rips the piss out pretentious dicks. And Gosford Park is a nuts and bolt murder mystery without any pretension whatsoever afaic.

ban who me? Aye. "shockingly bad"? You know Kubrick was dead when Speilberg made AI don't you?

Someone ban him.

But did they win "Best Music Website" for the entry "Fixagig.co.uk" in the 2007/08 North East Digital Awards?

My mate does them for a living... http://deanzod.co.uk/ Dunno if you're looking for someone to do you a site or just free advice like.

They will in future now that theres going to be 10 nominees for best film. Comedies usually get screenplay or actor nods if they're any good. Though Spinal tap, Lebowski and Life of Brian didn't and they're 3 of the greatest comedies ever.

even a stopped clock gives the right time twice a day. Exactly. A stopped clock is right 0.002% of the time. About the same as a tabloid journalist.

0 - 16mm That's quite a range.

Serious Mahjoob? Come on man.

Looks like we're moving At least they'll ban women from the stadium.

Contra-versial

Carlos Alberto Parreira.

The 0-0 at Man U shows he still has it. The man is a genius and has a good football heart. The 1-1 draw was canny too.... One match, a draw at that, is enough to convince you? Typical Parky. What about the following drab 1-0 win scraping win at home to Bolton and his last game, a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal? I wasn't convinced. Imo Keegan's love of football is not what it was, I'd prefer a fresh change be that Shearer or someone else. Can anyone name an example of a manager exceeding himself on returning to a club, especially after a gap of 12 years (I'm not going to count his last stint because it was impossible to judge imo)? I doubt it. You say that like it was a bad result. Keegan got 4 points from 3 games. (1.33 points per game - 66% versus top half) (Man U, Arsenal, Bolton) Kinnear got 20 points from 18 games. (0.9 points per game - 50% versus top half) (Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Fulham, West Ham, Man Cityx2, Mackemsx2, West Brom, Wiganx2, Boro, Stoke, Portsmouth, Blackburn) Shearer got 5 points from 8 games. (0.625 points per game - 62% versus top half) (Chelsea, Liverpool, Villa, Spurs, Fulham, Portsmouth, Stoke, Boro) Hughton & Calderwood got 5 points from 9 games. (0.55 points per game - 44% versus top half) (Man U, Arsenal, Everton, West Ham , Hullx2, , Blackburn, West Brom, Bolton)

My instinct was to say Shearer, but then I realised, that was just because i'm sick of people taking the piss. It would be complete and utter lunacy for Keegan to come back a third time, whoever was in charge. It would all end in tears again, whether he walked or got sacked and we'd be a laughing stock again. But I voted for Keegan, because he's better than Shearer and who gives a fuck what a Mackem thinks.
