Toonpack

Heard a few rumours they would both treat the people behind the scenes like dirt which would tie in with the perception they love themselves. If this is true you'd wonder if someone behind the scenes had a few bits of footage lined up as payback should the chance arise. Aye, and while I had some sympathy with what Keys was saying in his interview (about having been there since the 'start' when Sky was the minor player), it was only sympathy in the sentimental sense. Like shite was he the 'pioneer' that he was trying to make out, with people 'drinking at his well'. It was always someone elses format and it was always someone elses money was at risk. You're a presenter you daft hairy bastard, if you weren't doing it someone else would be and rest assured someone else soon will be. You've picked up a decent wedge as presenter and thats your compensation, never mind all this 'pioneering' bullshit, you were there for a salary. All of their ideas came from NFL presentation, the arrows on the screen, the boot room all that bollocks, and for me often they don't work that well. Look at Andy Townsend's tactics truck, it got abused so much ITV jacked it after4 weeks. Monday Night Football as well. Btw, me Dad was telling me that it's illegal to show NFL games live in the area where the game is taking place if the match itself isn't a sell-out. It's not "illegal" but it's in the TV contracts, no sell out, no broadcast in the home market broadcast area. Rarely happens as local businesses tend to buy up any spare tickets in those areas where it looks like happening (Minnesota being notorious)

It's always been Pardew, the delay is just a pretence of "going through the process". Anouncement Thursday/Friday. Nailed on. Gutted !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping this will be the tipping point when the Media finally come round to realising what a crap owner Ashley really is. Well Talkshite are doing it "in depth" tonight supposedly, their chief football correspondent said they'd be discussing "the madness of King Mike"

Agreed, I watch my NFL streamed (and paid for) through NFL.com with their gamepass. It's in full HD and is fantastic quality even blown up. It's on a slight delay as they buffer it up front to avoid jerks/pauses (you can also amend the buffer size if you want to - never had too myself). Picture quality is much better than ESPN or ITV in particular. As a bonus you also get the US adverts which have the regular habit of being really funny. Costs 26.99-ish US$ a week for all games played. Only don't get it if the Packers are on SKY.

His contract was up was it not? New boss tried him for a while but probably want's to bring in his own man after getting used to the set up. The same new boss who parised him in his autobiography, hmmm something a wee bit more fishy in this methinks.

Amy player who injures another in a reckless tackle should be banned for as long as the victim is out injured, that'd stop the bassa's

To counter his demolorisation, I am hugely exuberated !!

Born June 58, so the season just finished we were 19th, Mackems relegated though so not all bad.

Evidently RBS refused to take a repayment of the debt from G&H WTF !!!!!! Fucking scousers always come up smelling of roses !!!

That'd be about a billion of our dosh, legal cloud awa the scouse bassas for years now hopefully.

There is, there's an additional couple on Skunkers, the internet is currently Leazes v The World

Bastards Hope the Yanks appeal

They have half the money Ashley does and will be looking to turn a profit as the main investor is a hedge fund = fucked. As much as you may wish it (as I do) it won't happen, the Dippers have been as spawny as fuck since I was a bairn What are your thoughts on Pacinofan's inability and refusal to discuss why Liverpool fans are hated around the country? What, you mean the bit about how they are the "do no wrong, darlings of the media", despite their interminable wailing and gnashing of teeth and having significant blood on their hands, and stuff like that.

Apart from the bid accepted by the board that Sonatine detailed a few posts above? H&G will fight in court, they haven't accepted it. They'll try, but doubt they'll be able to get it done before RBS pulls the plug and allows the sale to go through so they get their dosh back. Sadly, was hoping the twats would crash and burn. if that happens it's a -9. Lose-Lose for dippers. Doubt it, RBS will assume the club and immediately sell it on, no need for Administration, nice thought though

Strange thing is, I don't remember so many broken legs when they kicked fucking lumps out of each other in the 70's, must be that they're faster and fitter now and the collision impact is greater, the pitches are different an all. That said, as it's REALLY difficult to prove "intent" for the De Jongs of the world, if it was up to me, any player who injures another in a tackle should be suspended for the same length of time that the other player is out. I accept that'd get some genuine "accidents" involved but it'd soon cut ot the cynical/scythes, elbows and patented Gerrard two feet off the deck lunge. Anyone who knocks someone over with their car didn't mean to do it (usually) but that doesn't stop punishment if warranted.

Well, as an example I reckon that the security services will have a very good idea who's behind the increased republican threat from NI BUt unfortunately we (the UK) won't have the balls to take them out, which would be right, before some real innocents get killed.

Be interested to see the other teams (Bolton, Blackburn etc) as whenever I see a TV game there's a marked number of empty seats around. Impressions can be deceiving I guess.

Don't think it's anything to do with our club alone, it's the same almost everywhere, more like apathy directed towards football.

Play Ben Arfa inside (instead of Nolan), he drifts in there anyway which restricts Enrique's ability to get forward, and Jonas wide left. Tiote and Barton "should" be enough to hold the central midfield and we need a proper right back. Edit Can Gosling play RB ???

Well put, Parky, but NUFC being NUFC I just can't see us climbing through that 'window'. We'll get half way through and cut our neck on a pain of glass. Shut up, man, it's my turn! With you being ten years my senior I should take it as a compliment I come across as a decade wiser than I am. Final thing I'll say about Liverpool is they're mist arrogant set of wanks I've ever known in life. They believe they're a better club (which the have been), better supporters (fpmsl), funnier (pmsl), live in a better city (ahahahaha) and look down their nose at anyone who isn't scouse. That's my experience of them and considering what they really are it's hysterical, but you have to say from their point of view self belief is a real positive. You forgot the mass murder

Taylor'll sign his new contract (4 years) does that count

You mean almost an exact repeat of the last years of FFS's reign Looking at the last four years the worst was 14th and the best was 7th so no, basically. And yes, that's quite a range. Does that make toonpack or leaze the auld boiler? They're both ancient but Leazes has mentioned on more than one occasion that he doesn't look his age Wise, is the word you were looking for As in Dennis? Worldy tbh
