Renton

Your either joking or you are on drugs. 46588[/snapback] He's right! And that Bryan Adams ditty, best song ever, FACT. 46589[/snapback] Ayethankyou. Renton, I'm not the one on drugs, all that skag is rotting your brain man. Fantastic peformances all round, even from Kevin 'Nahttinghaam' Costner. One of the best sword fights ever - no fancy thrusting/dodging/parrying, simply two men doing all they can to desperately hack the hell out of each other, which is what a sword fight would actually be like - technique goes out of the window when your life is on the line. Morgan Freeman's rallying cry near the end is giving me shivers just thinking about it. Brilliant action sequences, a rousing theme, a Sean Connery cameo out of nowhere and Alan Rickman's wonderfully evil portrayal of the sheriff is the icing on already very tasty cake. I even love the dodgy stuff - that they walk from Dover to Nottingham via Hadrian's Wall in an afternoon, Costner's accent (he tried an English one but it was so bad the director made him stop) and what exactly were they trying to achieve by being catapaulted over that wall? How did they know the would land in the hay on the otherside? Why does Will Scarlett seem so pleased that for all he knows, he has just flung his friends to their deaths? Absolutley fucking perfect. 46680[/snapback] Right, so you weren't joking. Personally I thought it was shit, almost unwatchable. And reading your minireview, it strikes me that you can't decide whether the film was genuinely good or just good because it was shit. And may Brian Adams rot in hell : FACT

True, but its not a shit racist joke thread.

Oooooh. Get her.

Just in case....

I'd imagine the number of posters would diminish significantly over time.

No. Thin end of an extremely thick wedge. Edit: suicide isn't even illegal now, is it?

Raging bull was filmed in black and white was it not?

Carver's not at the club now, is he? If you're going to make an external appointment, I'm sure you can do better than that. 46614[/snapback] No, he's not at the club anymore. 46617[/snapback] Haaaaaactually, what i'm suggesting is, he's cheap, passionate about the club and could be no worse. I suppose it's rhetorical suggestion if such a thing exists I know he's not here but FS is obviously not keen to employ anyone with proven talent. 46631[/snapback] He's tried employing people with proven talent before, and it hasn't worked (e.g. Robson). He's tried employing a person who has proven he has no talent, and it didn't work (Souness). The next logical step is to employ someone who hasn't proven he has any talent or not (probably Shearer).

Maybe the best result would be to have an appalling performance, but still some how fluking a win. This would have the desired effect of getting us 3 points, dropping Souness in the shit, but most importantly, pissing off the mackems.

They're either piss easy or impossbily hard.

I'd still rather have him than Woodgate. What's the point in having a player who's fit about 30% of the time, if you're lucky. 46615[/snapback] I agree but I just think that we shouldn't have spend 2/3 of Woodgates transfer feee on this piece of shite. 46616[/snapback] Hard not to agree with that. What a waste of money.

Can anyone recommend a good clamshell style phone? My Z600 is getting a bit old now, although its been a great phone. Trouble is, I don't like these "candystick" phones much, which seem to account for most the ones available.

Your either joking or you are on drugs.

The A-Team? 46569[/snapback] Don't. Brings back memories of a porn film I saw once.

I think its because of Gullit that Shepherd is now "anti-foreign". On the other ones I don't like that they turned us down - one of the positive things about Souness is how he didn't hesitate - I know that will be twisted to him knowing he was on his way out but I still got the sense of him being eager to come to us - none of this "I haven't finished my work at Bolton" bollock. 46559[/snapback] No, it won't be 'twisted', it's a fact that he was about to be sacked from Blackburn. Being offered the Newcastle job must have been the miracle he had asked for, of course he was going to accept it with open arms. Honestly, I seriously cannot believe that anyone could use this as an arguement to support Souness.

Do accountants share tales of bad arithmetic?

You really should read the it at the bottom carefully you know Renton.... It's not a spoof at all - 100% real site - all snopes is confirming is that it's got nothing to do with the British company Powergen.. 46517[/snapback] Well snopes says it is a battery company, not a power company. It won't let me log on to it now anyway. What I do know is that I first heard of this one about a year ago - and back then at least the site was clearly a spoof. My guess is that since then someone has bought the domain name form the spoofers and are well aware of its connotations, but are using it for publicity.

Why don't you want to love on Sunday? Are you really religious???

Well, as long as he isn't another Souness... Of course there is no guarantee that Hitzfeld wouldl succeed and it's far from certain that he will even come. Though, to compare someone who won the CL with two different teams and has been the most succesful manager in one of Europe's major leagues in the last decade with a Swiss nobody is plainly ridiculous. I also don't know what is presumptuous in saying that Souness will fail. That is an assessment by his work over the last twelve months in charge and a string of poor results and poor performances. But of course, it looks very likely that he will be succesful. Is this a flying pig I see outside my window? 46488[/snapback] Good post Guru, as usual. I cannot understand why some good posters like NJS cling to the belief Souness will actually, and miraculously, some how become a good manager. But they do.

You obviously don't listen to a word anyone says, do you? 46454[/snapback] Oh I listen, but if you really don't fall into the group of people that want us to lose so Souness leaves then the comments aren't aimed at you are they? So what you worrying about? 46455[/snapback] No your comments don't relate to me. But what I don't think you realise is that NO Newcastle fan wants us to lose to the mackems or will be in anyway supporting them. It's just that some people can see it might be better for us in the long run. This is one issue that is full of what ifs and maybes - it certainly isn't black and white like you are suggesting. 46460[/snapback] Oh its not black and white is it not, that must mean its red and white then...you mackem loving bastard, why don't you piss off and support them then! 46464[/snapback]

But then that goes back to what we actually have communities/societies for. The alternative where the "aggrieved" party simply punishes the wrongdoer leads to vigilantism and the breakdown of all law. There has to be a "detached" view when it comes to justice which doesn't mean the severity of the crime is ignored. 46456[/snapback] I agree. Suggestions by papers like the S*n that victims should choose the punishment are ridiculous at best.
