  1. Like I said "they'd obviously run out of beer."
  2. Obviously pay day. Pair of copa mundials, midlake's last two albums, a yatsura album that is out of print but available 2nd hand through amazon.com (postage cost more than the cd), a couple of books on the toon (a player interview one that looks good), a case of moo brew hefe-weizen (I kid you not Tasmanian made weiss bier!) oh and neil halsteed from slowdive/mojave 3's solo album. Thinking about a build it yourself tube pre-amp kit for the hi-fi!
  3. Go back to bed, sleep for another 30 minutes and start again Ben.
  4. Bump. It is the southern cross flag from the Eureka stockade incident circa 1800s. The closest thing Australia had to a civil war/revolution (they'd obviously run out of beer that day.)
  5. Why is a flemish team's website in dutch? Flemish:Dutch = Scottish:English Pretty much the same language pronounced a bit different and with a few local words Actually it's more pidgin:english than scottish:english.
  6. Why is a flemish team's website in dutch?
  7. Are BRMC supporting the Killers? That just proves the world is wrong and broken. Elbow - leaders of the free world (imho the release probably shades asleep in the back)
  8. morphine - the night (and I hope you're waiting for me, because I can't make it on my own!)
  9. stevie, ease up young man. If you're our cock then sima is our twat and as I said in your defence, don't go dishin' our kind (unless they are acting like a twat or a cock)
  10. If I got to choose a back four that I'd like to see at the toon out of the current premiership players it would be: G Neville - W Gallas - J Terry - P Evra (Another one of taggart's great finds.) It's all well and good to name the best centre halfs but if they don't have a decent outlets beside them then their options are few and far between and they have to resort to the Bramble ball.

    Singing

    reckon he's more looking for the Robert Plant yowl. Oh if that's the case, smack it is then Tom!
  12. 1. at work again and can't be arsed 2. waiting for my coffee to cool down before I drink it 3. thinking about buying a pair of copa mundials for this season (and can get them from the states for half of what they charge here.) 4. currently trying to organise three shoots, two in melbourne and one in possible woomera 5. listening to bob evans and it makes me sad, not that they care

    Singing

    Back to the question at hand. Tom if you want to sound like Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen or Nick Cave, start drinking and smoking (cigars are best) heavily now. Fuck it don't worry about your singing voice just do it now for your mental well being.
  14. Well I did say you were our cock, so you're welcome stevie. I'm just sick of the miserable bastids thinking it's their divine right to be the world's greatest club! By the way even St Pauli supporters sing YNWA, and their chairman is a crossdressing mad man!
  15. No we definitely qualified in '69 because we were holders. The fact we got there in the first place in '68 was because Leeds were the cup holders but also finished as a qualifier because of their league position - hence that year the English FA was alotted 4 spots instead of the three allocated for qualification via the league/fair city requirements. Also Newcastle didn't actually know they we in the competition until after the draw because the decision wasn't made until the draw in Copenhagen to alot the extra spot for an English team. Lastly, for the most part "we have qualifed because we have ourselves achieved better league positions." Prior to 1992 runners up to cup winners weren't eligable for the UEFA cup and obviously we got there via the intertoto this season. So it is 50-50 as to the club getting there for they achieved better league positions.
  16. To neither support nor refute anyone's argument it needs to be pointed out once and for all that since 1992 qualification for Europe has changed significantly, to the point where qualification now is ridiculously easy compared with pre-1992. Champions league/European Cup From UEFA.com: Fairs cup/UEFA cup/Cup Winners cup From UEFA.com: Whereas prior to 1992 there were only approx 40 European places and many of those were "invitation" only or a combination of invitation/qualification, there are now over 140 European places per season not including the intertoto cup. Is that so ? Well, you can tell us when the last team qualified for the UEFA Cup/Fairs Cup that finished 10th then 9th in the table, as we did in 1968 and 1969 ? Please back up your statement with a reply. We would not have qualified in these years if not for the one city one club rule. We also finished 7th in the table in 1970. We finished 12th in 1971, 11th in 1972, 9th in 1973, 15th in 1974, 15th in 1975, 15th in 1976 and qualified again finishing 5th in 1977. Since 1977 we have finished 21st, 8th in div 2, 9th in div 2, 11th in div 2, 9th in div 2, 5th in div 2, 3rd in div 2, 14th in div 1, 11th in div 1, 17th in div 1, 8th in div 1, 20th in div 1, 3rd in div 2, 11th in div 2, 20th in div 2, up to and including 1992. So, however many places were available for European qualification, they were irrelevant to us. Therefore your point is invalid. Just to clarify, are we talking English FA clubs? No-one that I know of but I don't doubt I'm wrong. The closest since would probably be citeh in 03/04 after they finished 9th in 02/03 and got there via the fair play placing but they only did it the one season. By the way Leaze yes I know the only reason the team qualified in 1968 was due to the fact we were the highest club on the league table with only one team in the city who hadn't qualified for a European competition, whereas Everton, Spuds and Arsenal should have all been eligable before Newcastle on league position. Also we only qualified in 1969 because Newcastle were the cup holders. As for the rest of your post, yes we all know where we finished in the years from 1969 to present but it doesn't make the point invalid, the point is that prior to 1992 there were only a maximum of 40 European spots, post 1992 there are considerably more thus making qualification easier - as I said it's neither pro nor against anyone's argument.
  17. steveintoon is a cock but honestly when you post this, how the fuck can you question anyone else's problems? By the way stevie is our cock so don't you go dishing him
  18. Morning precious, sweet dreams?
  19. Gemmill is obviously missing them and readying himself for your next trip away Cath
  20. He's right tbh. Sorry, is my superfan status gone? It was definitely a penalty Ally. Best shot I've seen of it was on Goals on Sunday - they froze the shot at the point of contact, and you can clearly see Riise's leg in front of, and touching Taylor's, and he just tripped over it. Theatrical the way he went down, but a definite penalty. No doubt in the studio on GOS. Plus watch Riise, he doesn't argue the decision. He knows.
  21. Can you believe it Brian Richie has moved to Hobart, Tasmania!!! It BRMC - spread your love, on the party tape! White stripes now - girl!
