It worked once for me. I am now on ashwaganda and echinacea as well slow release broad spectrum vitamins. Have avoided all office illnesses since I began this routine (after months and months of illness).

Thought you'd like a final update... I now fully understand the phrase 'aal awar bar the shouting' and can quite confidently reveal that we have fully cleared that stage. Cancelled flight, shifting stuff out, ironing sexy pants.

You're a procrastinator, you'd rather draw a house than doing anything significant with your life. You like to spend a lot of time staring at text on a screen rather than having a conversation with a real human. You quite often slag these people off unnecessarily if they don't agree with your view. You have a massive intellect and even larger cock, obviously. James is a cunt.

Aye, that or somewhere like that. He's arguably the best candidate for the England job, but the England job is nothing like the best candidate for him. Only way I could see him coming is for utterly obscene wages, and even then. It's a part time job, high enough profile for him and he knows he is already loved here. I think he'd go for it.

You forgot blazers. ... no, I NEVER forget blazers... it's just that these troglodytes don't appreciate the sartorial elegance that a blazer can bring to an evening.. How big's this blazer like? Where do you procure evening sized ones?

Only 40? Bloody lazy arabs. -
I think if you have an awareness of 'your' issues, and the root of them, then it is your responsibility to manage them. My mother comes from a long line of psychos and I feel it building up inside me occasionally. If they are not very bright then their unlikley to be able to control what is hard wired in formative years. But born scum, no. Born into scum, yes.

FWIW from Bolton Banter.... trophyshy Member Joined: Mon Nov 26th, 2007 Location: Posts: 1 Posted: Mon Nov 26th, 2007 04:07 pm Hello Bolton from this confused Newcastle fan, Congratulations on beating Man U, something we seem a million miles from being able to do. I wanted to ask you if you were ever or constantly baffled by BSA's tactics, substitutions, team selection etc when he either first started or at any stage of his tenure there. All managers occasionally make odd decisions but Sam has clearly been dropping many clangers lately leaving the fans baffled. For instance Smith has been awful all year and is no midfielder and yet there he is, week in week out picking up yellow cards and little else. What midfield there is out there is creating just about nothing for the forwards, or themselves. We really look clueless. The fans are somewhat bemused by the choices Sam is making, particularly as we beleived we were getting a smart manager with a bit of a pedigree and able to deliver a TEAM performance. Obviously it's very early days, but so far, with the exception of a couple of wins, our team has looked poor. Any thoughts appreciated on your Allardyce era as compared to ours so far.

I don't think Newcastle will give him time to do that myself. At the moment, your team isn't exactly a top six side at all. So don't expect top six football yet. I don't see the point in sacking him yet myself, but you probably will. If you give him a year and you're in the bottom half of the table, then I'd get rid. But why get rid of a manager who's proven he can get an average team like ours and yours into the top eight for five consecutive years, just to bring in someone else? ____________________ le god Member Joined: Mon Jan 10th, 2005 Location: Leamington Spa, United Kingdom Posts: 3483 Posted: Mon Nov 26th, 2007 05:04 pm i've got a mate who is a toon fan and i said to him "there will be ups followed by massive downs, and you'll have no idea why." ____________________ How Happy is Megson Today? Billy Bradshaw Administrator Joined: Mon Oct 4th, 2004 Location: United Kingdom Posts: 12433 Posted: Mon Nov 26th, 2007 05:20 pm Whilst you can't argue with the overall results of Allardyce's time at Bolton, there were many times that the fans were left baffled. Making much needed changes when losing, but doing it with two minutes left to play, when the oncoming player had no chance of making an impact. Sending a team to Sunderland at Christmas for a draw, when they only had five points and we were in the top 6 ish. Then compounding it by actually admitting it. Refusing to drop his favourites (perhaps it's the same for all managers) when they clearly weren't performing. Going a goal ahead inside ten minutes and then trying to defend for eighty minutes. Constantly seeming happy to get a draw at grounds where we should have been trying to win. When I list these things, it strikes me that he may have been more concerned with protecting his reputation towards the end of his time at the Reebok? But he was instrumental in keeping us in the top 8 for so many seasons and given time, he could do the same for Newcastle. But then you could also argue that most managers would turn things around if given as much time as they need? Newcastle (fans and board) will demand pretty much instant success....and I don't see it happening any time soon. They are some way off being a top six side at the moment, and as we have found, it's another massive step to become a top four side. ____________________ Benny_Bear 606 Veteran Joined: Mon Oct 4th, 2004 Location: Still on the way back from Scarborough! Posts: 1042 Posted: Mon Nov 26th, 2007 07:29 pm Allardyce was always more than just a ninety minutes on the pitch manager. His major impact was on the structure of the club. Setting up systems that ran well. He admitted that he was not the fountain of all knowledge - but his skill was getting people in and around him who did know what thye were doing and then getting them to work. He was at rue manager in that he managed people. Don't forget we diced with relegation a couple of times before he started getting it right. On the pitch he could make some strange decisions but usually thye worked out foir the best. A lot of the players he signed turned out to be no up to it - Jardel and numerous other foreign never heard of again types. But the good ones were exceptional - Djorkaeff, Okocha, Campo, Hierro tec. Newcastle need to give him full control and plenty of time. Put up with the downs because in the long run he will succeed - you just have to wait for it. I fear that Newcastle will not do this and Sam will be wishing for a chairman like Gartside, who backed him all the way. Eighteen months and the money men who bought Newcastle will want him out. I and concerned by the the high and mighty talk I have heard form Newcastle fans about how Sam was okay at a small club like Bolton but is not suitable for a big club like Newcastle. The same principles apply to any organisation over a ceratin size. What is different is the expectations of the support. Newcastle think they have some God given (not Shay) right to success. Whereas Bolton were happy with what emerged. They've won nothing for a long time just the same as us. ____________________ Benny Bear's Music: Joined: Wed Oct 6th, 2004 Location: Bromley Cross Posts: 183 Posted: Mon Nov 26th, 2007 07:38 pm I would like to think that given time Big Sam would come ggod at Newcastle. As pointed out above, he will want to restructure the club and it will take a while for that to bear fruit. Time that probably wont be afforded to him at Newcastle. I would also point out that whatever great things he did for Bolton (and there were many), as a manager he has pretty much failed to perform / get results for almost 12 months now. Perhaps some of the ego's at Newcastle just cant accept his brash management style.

Posts: 1187 Posted: Mon Nov 26th, 2007 08:47 pm Watching them on Saturday they were absolutely woeful and I couldnt believe one of Sams teams could play with so little spirit, then I remembered.. early on in Sams time with us we went to Tranmere for a league cup semi final 2nd leg and got stuffed 0-3. The team were all over the place and were out fought and out thought all over the pitch. It was one of my lowest times as a fan and I was there during the division 4 days! The thing was, we never really looked back from that time. Year after year from then on we just got stronger and stronger. Perhaps our Tranmere was your Liverpool :whoknows: Keep the faith. He will turn it around for you if you are patient. ____________________ "Eammon Holmes, Angus Deayton, Mick Hucknall, Bobby Charlton. Can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating!"

From there Yazz had it right the only way is up and how things went that way. I agree though BSA is a manager who, with time, will turn Newcastle into a winning team. They won't play the sort of fantastic but Kamikaze football they did under Keegan but they will be successful. That is if he is given the time to turn it around
