  1. Is the question 'what would you get from shagging Soccermom?'
  2. My favourite scene in the whole show is Stringer and Avon, just after Avon's been shot at. Come to think of it, that season is probably my favourite because of the Barksdale conclusion.
  3. QFT. I don't think you can accurately work out owt to do with the finances because we haven't got access to the books. For all we know, Jonas could be on 25k and free school dinners.
  4. People that use the word 'epic' to describe things that aren't so.
  5. It's the correct pronouciation of AC/DC isn't it? I find it hard to pronounce the lightning bolt though.
  6. They could just throw Garth Crooks on; he fills up two seats by himself.
  7. La Roux? Oh well, whatever. My favourite (that I've heard) from that list are The Horrors so I'm pulling for them since it's got to be better than Florence and the Machine.
  8. The fans and the club want to be in/near to Gateshead town centre, a bit like St. James' is to Newcastle city centre. Luckily the council appear to want this too, as they're looking to invest/revitalise the town centre (even attempting to get city status in the future). This is why it's taken a couple of years for the club to acquire the land for the ground. Redheugh Park (The Pitz 5-a-side place) is as far from the town centre as the International Stadium, and has worse transport links. Apparently it was investigated as a possibility, and ruled out. I heard the site of the old cricket ground in Bensham because of the closeness to the Bus/Metro Interchange. Heard anything about that? That's what I've been told. By a few people as well, just opposite the Civic centre, decent amount of space and good links! Good news for me since I used to get in that place all the time as a kid. There is literally no sneaky way in through fences that I didn't find. I'd like to see them keep me out.

  10. Rather Barton than Butt. I expect him to be one of the first out the door if and when, any takeover happens though.
  11. Like an old 78 vinyl? Thick, Black and Fragile. He and Carroll might be able to become decent target men, I suppose. I can't say I'm too optmisitic about relying on them as main sources of goals though.
  12. http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfare-...99-140062.phtml Well, looks like I'm upgrading my LoveFilm account to include games.
  13. Some canny goals there and while friendlies aren't too important, it's got to be a decent confidence boost knocking 7 past someone, even if it is Darlington.
  14. Never thought I'd see us put 7 past anyone for a while.
  15. Sad excuse for a post, especially from a moderator You're going to find it near impossible to take the piss back, its now July 17th and you still have no new owner, no manager in place, and a group of demoralized players on inflated wages who are eager to jump ship, and an alleged rumor (from nufc-forum.com) that you're going to go into administration in 9 days (not saying I 100% believe that). Your club is well and truly fucked in total if you think about it. You can sit and "laugh" at us for likely failing to sign Peter Crouch, but what you fail to realise is that at least we have the funds to aim for a player like him now and at least we can get him up to talk to you. Crouch is not a world class player, but he's about 10 times above your level now (not just by his height either). The type of player which about is your level now, is the type of player which we are eager to ship out of our team and move on from. By the time you return to the premiership (that's if you ever do), you will be on the wrong side of a large gulf in quality in comparison to us. That gulf acting on your behalf previously which has been the principal cause of you beating us several times such as the games in 1996, 2006, 2008, etc. Secondly city of sunderland isn't "nothing" as you seem to describe it as, of course its nothing compared to the bright lights of London and the south and isn't exactly amongst the "elite" of cities in the UK, and isn't quite as good as Newcastle (though that isn't the argument). For "nothing in its own right" it will have a world heritage site by 2010, a 7th century building where education and the rebirth of learning in england began. There is also a £180 million agreement in place to build the tallest building in the region which will also be bigger than anything Scotland. A new quality shopping centre will be joining this tower, then there's the Hilton Hotel to be built this year (something newcastle doesn't have for those who claim Gatesheads assets as their own). There's also money from the government into building the tallest bridge in the United Kingdom in Sunderland. Then HM Court services are funding a new court and law complex in the city centre (which was announced today). A nothing city also isn't tied with Washington D.C, Essen, nanjing and Harbin, is it? As for what it currently has, it also has the largest theatre venue in the Northeast, and the only one which can stage west end shows. It has a rapidly improving and expanding modern university, which yet another £75 million campus is almost completed along with new funds to recruit some of the finest software lecturers and professors in the country. Mowbray park was also voted "the best city park in Britain" last year, beating even Hyde park (much to my suprise though). You should also look at the regeneration they done in Sunniside, a new conference centre, an expensive new art and music facility, new apartments and the rejuvanted modern gardens. Plus there's the most important thing of all, a rapidly improving premier league football team Sunderland's economy has increased by 83% from 1995, which is far above the national average growth and is very impressive for a city which only gained status in 1992. Hardly "nothing" is it? Sunderland may be inferior to Newcastle but it isn't nothing in total. Due to a recent city status its never developed as much as the others, but it will eventually overtake them as it's heading in the right direction. Though its no suprise why a player would choose London over Sunderland, I think a player would choose London over any city though in the long run, and if sunderland is so close to this almighty city of "Newcastle" (which bare it in mind claims half of Gatesheads attractions as it's own), why can't the players just all enjoy the mights of this nearby newcastle instead and have no problem moving to Sunderland? FTM
  16. Indeed. Fast Show blows hot and cold for me but I love the news bits. "Nimbo cumulus!" When they shut the whole station down because of one cloud in the sky
