  1. Christ, that England top is awful. I'll stick with my Toffs one.
  2. For a taster course in how poorly we're run, you probably want to check this Just for a general idea of what we have to put up with on a daily basis.
  3. Yeah, why shouldn't businesses make any money?
  4. Best US comedy since Arrested Development IYAM. Just four horrible people doing horrible things to each other and it's class. Charlie is an official legend. When he's on acid, dancing in the Green Man outfit "His mom just died! The least you could do is let him throw your buddy off the roof!" "Hi. I'm a recovering crack addict and this is my mentally retarded sister. Can we have some welfare please?" Quality.
  5. The sound of a well-informed individual right there.
  6. The invasion of Poland was the final straw that drew us into the war. The main cause of Germany basically spoiling for a fight was the rise of Nazism which in turn was borne out of the economic situation which came about because the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were so harsh on Germany and basically bankrupt the country. The Great Depression following the Wall St. Crash exacerbated the situation. It was mainly about asset grabs, the fact that the Germans didn't have an empire. Financial pressure in Europe and the collision of post-empire capitalism. Banks discovered a new industry - war loans. I've squeezed it down as far as is sensible. Pretty much but Hitler's expansion was based in a belief that Germany were destined to rule over Europe as much as anything else. I think early expansion was about gaining industry/lebensraum and when he realised that Chamberlain and the rest of Europe would have probably stepped aside unless he'd pissed on the Cliffs of Dover, he took the opportunity to expand, based on the general uselessness of Europe up to that point. Having said that, the First World War was much more grounded in the protection and gaining of colonies than the Second. WWII, at its core, was based around ideological differences rather than religion.
  7. Triple Heart Bypass ffs. He'd be mental to continue with the job after that. He wants to just rest up properly and not worry about football. Hope him all the best in recovering.
  8. Better start again overnight. Could do with a day off.
  9. When in Gonzalez back btw? I remember reading Mid-February but that usually means the back end of June with our lot.
  10. Had Shola been leaving and he been his replacement, we could do a lot worse but Shola and Anichebe in the same team is not something I'd like to see.
  11. Can't say I was expecting owt less from them tbh. I've never seen people so utterly clueless about the fanbase and how we see straight through their shite.
  12. Cat doesn't appear to have aged at all.
  13. You have 10 Minutes to get him from Newcastle to the West Brom ground. Go go go. Those supersonic planes still exist? Concord or whatever? Will needa get in touch with the French, but we don't exactly have a good record with them at the Toon. Christ, lads. If you're going to take the piss, at least do it well.
  14. Thought Oba was on the bench? Obviously not.
  15. may as well whack Oba on for a bit.
  16. What in the shit was Taylor attempting there?
  17. Shit in the air, done for pace all the time. He's got the symptoms.
  18. We've hardly been "great" going forward like. They're just in the running for most woefully organised defence in the Premiership. Having said that, I now expect a fucking lashing because these are so hopelessly shit.
