Gemmill

Sounds like Emre last weekend 102172[/snapback] Leave the lad alone, he was under the weather, a bit like yersel 102176[/snapback] She was putting it on man. If she laid off the tabs she'd be fine.

It seems to escape the notice of some that England and Newcastle don't actually compete against each other and that the success of each is not mutually exclusive. 102173[/snapback] Daft, man. First one to say "I'd rather Newcastle won a throw-in than England won the World Cup" wins a prize.

What price a "Would you prefer England to win the World Cup or Newcastle to win the FA Cup?" thread on N-O tomorrow, with a "I consider myself Geordie first and English second" post before the end of the first page. That sort of thread is where the soopafan feels right in his element.

The bloke's an idiot.

I'm not u-turning man. I'm applying everything you say about the failure to sack Souness to Shepherd. He's the man to blame. You keep putting your foot in it and condemning Shepherd every time you blame me for Souness. Do you understand?

shame Gemmil, but I think you are all being narrow minded and very naive to think there is a new chairman out there who will run the club better and more ambitiously than Shepherd, despite all the evidence to the contrary. After all, I have pointed out how many other big city clubs could match us, but don't, and our old directors who didn't...pretty much common sense to me...but then again sacking Souness ages ago rather than giving him time was common sense too .... 101930[/snapback] I don't know how on the one hand you can say how great Shepherd is, and on the other comment on the lack of common sense required not to sack Souness. You've transferred the blame for that onto me apparently, same as the blame for Bellamy goes to Souness, the blame for Luque goes to Souness, the credit for Owen goes to Shepherd etc. etc. etc.. The list goes on...... 102085[/snapback] the same that you showed ..... this was asked last week, show me where I have said anything other than the manager picks the personnel and the chairman handles the finance based on the managers professional expertise.....this is how football clubs are run and why they appoint professional managers, I don't believe I am having to explain this, but here is where I said the same as I've just done as you obviously missed it 102106[/snapback] Who was responsible for the lack of common sense in not sacking Souness though? You make it very clear that it was common sense to sack Souness, but you seem to blame me for lacking the common sense to sack him. You are aware that I'm not on the NUFC Board, right? 102108[/snapback] Just as well 102110[/snapback] Aye, we've already got Shepherd there lacking the common sense you speak of. No point having me there doing the same job eh? 102113[/snapback] Of course not, he admitted he made a mistake, you haven't you've just sloped the blame Why not answer the same questions I've put to Craig and Alex over this thread Gem ? How are we better than all the other big city clubs that I've mentioned that are all capable of matching our turnover, spending and performance in the last decade ? Consider the fact that the current situation has not always been the case .... and then tell us who this man waiting to take over the club to put in millions of his own money and want nothing back is ?? 102115[/snapback] So how does it go now then? "One bad appointment, subsequent failure to recognise the mistake until (by your admission Leazes) serious damage has been done to the club, and a total lack of common sense do not make a bad chairman." We can keep adding to this phrase of yours if you like? Have I missed anything?

One bad analogy doesn't make him a bad chairman.

Was it more of a synonym? I don't really care - I'd rather he just said that he's getting on with trying to appoint a new manager and until he does people can speculate as much as they like. 101844[/snapback] I think Alex meant the bit about his Uncle Billy wasn't an analogy, mongalong! 101845[/snapback] Oh, okay.. 101850[/snapback] Say sorry then!

I think Local Authorities are pretty strict on Loft Conversions though, he's have to get the plans submitted and ok'd whatever happens. Something to do with how much room, support, and light there is up there if it's going to be used as a lived in room. I learnt this on Property Ladder, although I do spend the best part of an hour staring at Beeny's knockers so I may have misheard. 101834[/snapback] Dunno mate, I think you still have to get the plans approved, but you don't need planning permission. I think the difference is in the cost and time it takes for you to get them back. I know when I was doing mine the bloke told me if I got Velux instead of dormer windows in, I wouldn't need planning permission because I wasn't significantly altering the external appearance of the house. He might have been talking cobblers like.

Here's the latest from fatty about the claims that some managers have already turned us down for the job: "When I was a kid and a girl turned you down for a dance at the Oxford Galleries this was OK in my eyes. "But when you haven't asked a girl to dance and she tells everybody you have then this is different." I bet he's some mover on the dancefloor.

Aye, not worth risking. If you get the work done and they refused planning permission then you wouldn't be able to sell it on as an approved loft conversion which would affect the sale value. Also, my understanding is that if you're not altering the outside appearance of the house, you don't need planning permission. You just need to meet building regulations and get the designs approved. Might be wrong like, but that's what the builder that came out to mine told me.

Him and HTL are Freddie and Douglas tbh.

Are you a charver? Seems to be the main requirement to get a job in a sports shop.

MooooooooOOOO!

Ledge. 101757[/snapback] Who? 101760[/snapback] He's a black man from a particularly hard family in Shields (our equivalent of the Tams from your way). Except unlike his siblings, he is a bit of a clown (meant in an unoffensive way), and talks to everyone he meets, like he's known them all his life. OK, I've said enough. 101768[/snapback] Big knob?

Yerrrrrrs.

Aye it was called Rancid Turds and I was the thread starter after a particularly rancid turd. Wasn't meant to be about revenge but some of the stories that appeared were! It was nominated for gold status but it never got there! 101750[/snapback] No room after Craig filled it with threads not worthy of the name. Agree though, that thread had GOLD written all over it.

More like Doctor Who tbh. With Glenister in the Billie Piper role.

FACTOMUNDO, Alexander.

I used to go from Whitley to Byker every day and it wasn't too bad, a couple of nutters on the tea time one back but no trouble that I saw. However, I imagine later on that part of the track is a bit tasty. 101722[/snapback] Death Valley. That's what my mate calls the stretch from Monument to North Shields.

Hard to use a keyboard if you are, I'd imagine. 101735[/snapback] www.newcastle-online.com/nufcforum tbh.
