  1. Think the latest economic figures more or less confirm it'll be a hung parliament. Tories needed a boost and however they try to spin it, it's anything but. Hope a Labour led coalition leads to the much needed electoral reform to reengage the public
  2. Ashley is definitely not not successful
  3. That's not what you need to worry about sounding like, marra
  4. Doubt anyone in his shoes would walk We should hire a plane if he does
  5. I feel a bit sorry for Carver like. I think he's a fucking hopeless manager and far too thin-skinned and hot-headed, as well as patently lacking in the skills or experience required for the role. But it's difficult to imagine anyone in his position turning the opportunity down. He's had pretty shitty luck with suspensions and injuries and the players nit really looking like they give a fuck is only partly down to him. The club's position is clearly one of limited ambition which is bound to impact how the players perform sooner or later. Also I doubt Carver will have made much money out of football. I would bet he's the lowest paid manager in the league and he'll not have enough to walk away and retire. Especially when he'd be lucky to get a job at a level above the Northern League after this. It's the owner's fault more than anything else. He hasn't even got anyone to fall back on. Steve Stone was coaching the under 11s or something until quite recently ffs. I can understand the comments and ill feeling though. And his fucking patter man
  6. Watch the club try to blame this on the boycott.
  7. Doubt he got a pay increase for becoming manager. That's probably why he got the gig, in the short term at least. Great story btw

    Should pick your own wild garlic. Loads knocking about soon if you know where to look. Jesmond Dene down by the Ouseburn at the Pet's Corner end is a good spot. Makes a good pesto if you replace the basil with half and half wild garlic and parsley. Give it a good wash and pat it dry and repeat. Leave it to dry overnight if you can be arsed. The leaves are a bit like small green leaves you get on a leek. If you pick one you'll instantly know it's the right thing by its smell.
  11. http://www.toontastic.net/board/topic/34100-mike-ashley-football-cunt/?p=1184570&forceDownload=1&_k=880ea6a14ea49e853634fbdc5015a024
  12. Can't remember that, although I did see Flash Gordon at the Jesmond Picture House.
  13. Desperately trying to convince yourself this is the case
  14. Remember the ABC cinema on Westgate Road. Got in underage to see Leathal Weapon 2 (featuring Patsy Kensit's chebs). Think it was the Cannon cinema by then. Must've closed down about 25 years ago now ffs
  15. Think the Tories are struggling to convince the electorate re: the recent NHS and Miliband claims when it's obvious when they're questioned on both issues it's something they've come up with as a panic measure in the last few days.
