  1. inevitable nod; http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/incoming/4...the-season.html By MARTIN HARDY, 12/09/2009 CHRIS HUGHTON has been told by his Newcastle bosses that he will be left in charge for the rest of the season. Sport of the World has learned that Hughton met managing director Derek Llambias on Tuesday and was given the green light to remain as the main man at St James' Park. Toon chiefs held talks with both David O'Leary and Joe Kinnear in August as the protracted takeover dragged on during the summer. Convinced O'Leary's wage demands and Kinnear's ill-health ruled them out and now Hughton's good start - five wins and a draw from six games - have convinced Mike Ashley to keep faith with the 50-year-old. Hughton picked up August's manager of the month award yesterday as reward for a start that has raised belief that the Toon can make an immediate return to the Premier League. And crucially Llambias has been made aware of support inside the dressing room for the job Hughton and coaches Colin Calderwood and Paul Barron have done. "Chris was called in by the MD at the start of the week and was told the job was his for the season," said a source. "He has impressed Mike Ashley and the board and has been told to continue for the campaign." Spirit Hughton was powerless as 12 players were off-loaded following relegation. But he has forged a good team spirit and turned to the experienced professionals at the club to restore credibility. However he has been told he will not be given substantial funds to strengthen a first-team squad that has only 18 experienced professionals. He will instead have to rely on loan deals and has been told he can sign at least three during the loan window, which ends next month.
  2. Whereas previously he got others to calculate, he did the averages for the live draw, making me believe he probably rigged the lottery. Would be interesting to see who won it? Edit: no-one won, but you'd have to be pretty ballsy to go for all 6.
  3. But Redheugh says that a plane landed from North America yesterday, and Gregg's are now stocking bagels!
  4. I won't make any serious posts at all.
  5. Moving then from House to Rap. Easy E was my favourite member of NWA. I think his laid back slightly drawling style added a stylish edge. RIP. However, NWA were the beginning of the end for me with hip hop. They significantly contributed to the movement from an intelligent, political, powerful voice for the disaffected toward a genre that's largely exploited and exploitative, reinforcing stereotypes, aiding and abetting aspirations for narcissism, greed, money and ‘bitches’, not social or political change. Shame on you Dr Dre. I appreciate, however, it was undoubtedly white record executives that shaped this too. Who is more culpable though?
  6. If we are going to debate this, and why the hell not, can we please have ALL the squad sizes in league table format?
  7. Second toughest in the infants. A disappointing album imo.
  8. Erm, that's the whole point of them isn't it? All men are insecure dogs and women have no say in who shags them. Disgraceful aspect of that culture imo.
  9. Ah, but what if you knew what they are going to say an hour or two before everyone else?
  10. I would get involved lads but I am training for GNR. Will be running home after work, probably shitting me kex around Archway.
  11. CT you're a bit obsessed with this Redheugh lad. Just relax, whatever happens will be revealed when the time is right. I bet you rummaged through your parent's wardrobe on the 23rd and always knew what was under the Christmas Tree.
  12. Suppose even if he does just work at the chronnie then at least we know whats getting printed today! Derren's missed a trick there then.
  13. Black Landlord, Addicted to Distraction. Refreshing wit and groove. http://www.last.fm/music/Black+Landlord/_/Dear+God
