  1. Isnt there some sort of "gentlemans agreement" amongst premiership chairman that you dont approach each others managers during the season? I also wonder, assuming we dont have anybody lined up, whether sacking him before the end of the season would make the job less tempting in some ways, as from the outside at least it might reinforce FS as being a bit trigger happy.
  2. He was quoted on SSN as saying "I am still more scared of the wife than the chairman." I realise you all despise him but I thought it was quite a good line
  3. Ive always thought FS does a decent job but I read something a while back which has stuck in my mind ever since. I havent got a link Im afraid but it was an interview with Ken Bates who said Gullit was always going to be a disastrous appointment because unlike Chelsea where he was basically just a coach at Newcastle he was given the job and expected to run the whole thing from top to bottom, and had no idea what to do, and had no experience of such a position.
  4. Which is why I'm not a lawyer. Emotions however are very real, and there have been several times in my professional career where I have had to treat and care for patients that I wouldn't piss on if they were on fire should I encounter them in the street. However, I have a professional duty of care and have to get on with it. Doesn't mean I do so with a happy heart - I just have no grounds for professional conscientious objection in these cases. 76191[/snapback] Well, knowing one or two people working in law, I know that most judges have emotions too. It's just about to deal with them - especially in the way they are entitled to it by law. Nobody is going to make easy decisions, especially in cases like the one this topic is about. But to be fair, how much of background information do people on here have. What was the original sentence in detail? What's the tariff? What about the concrete decision of the parole board? There is no mistake about the original crime being horrific. And I can understand people demanding draconic punishment. But on the other hand, over 30 years in prison is already a very long time. And the life afterwards will most likely not be an easy one. The murderer will most likely remain an outcast until the end of his life (just because of that it would already be madness to return to his former home). Other things judges have to make their mind up are about the danger to public. Again this depends on the original crime. It was horrific and shocking, yes. But was it sexually motivated? If not then the danger of reoffending is pretty low as it is "normal" murderers. He killed his own children, if it wasn't for some kind of sadistic affection he won't do it again. I could go on and on about the process of decision making that is (legally) required. I don't want to be patronising (especially not to catmag, whose post I chose to respond to), but I often wonder how quick people are able to make their conclusions on the base of very little facts. That's why I normally chose to keep away from these discussions. They are most often misleading and have nothing to do with how things really are and work. 76231[/snapback] So you think we should cut his knackers off then?
  5. Stop being so hysterical man. Sunderland are the official laughing stock
  6. I'll say one thing for Pete Burns - at least he has put his money where his mouth is
  7. Come on people, kids asnd pensioners
  8. Im not embaressed about watching anything at all, in fact quite the opposite. I am horribly smug about enjoying tv that enrages pseudo intellectual snobs
  9. I'm admitting I am pretentious though. Most of the exhibits were simply shit 74998[/snapback] Good for you, I wonder if anyone else will admit to it? Tbh I struggle to class anything other than a painting as art! So a sheep sliced in half or whatever the fuck that Damien Hurst produced is just a joke to me. 75003[/snapback] I will happily admit to it. I am a big fan of moderrn art, the more it winds people up the more I like it. Damien Hurst sheep is just a modern take on "still life" btw 75017[/snapback] OK so what's your take on that wifey who filled a gallery full of white boxes then? 75022[/snapback] An interesting take on the importance placed on packaging and appearance in this increasingly consumerist society, and at the same time an ironic comment on waste ans space 75032[/snapback] An interesting evaluation, pure bollocks in my mind though! 75043[/snapback] You got me. I didnt know what you were referring to so I just made something up

  12. There is only one thing sadder than watching reality tv, and that is bleating on about other people watching it. People watch it because they enjoy it. Get over it 74970[/snapback] Actually bleating about it on an internet message board is even sadder

  14. Tell us more... 74939[/snapback] Nothng exciting unfortunately.We both used to hang out at Probe Records in Liverpool in the late 70s. No internet or playstations in my day. We both shared an obsession with T.Rex
  15. Nearly matches the old one from Skol : "I want Coventry to beat us" 74666[/snapback] shameful tbh 74668[/snapback] Agreed, and he got plenty of stick for it back then. 74675[/snapback] Take your empty hook back lads - I'm not biting.... And you all knew what I meant you pedantic tossports! 74733[/snapback] not biting - but wriggling

  17. I was never actually backing the bloke, I just maintained that I think he needed time to prove himself - and the Wigan result was the final straw. I couldn't give a shit if we won the FA Cup, I'd still want him replaced. 74647[/snapback] An chance you could make your New Year resolution to avoid posting drivel like this
  18. What odds though? 74190[/snapback] Evens 74191[/snapback] Current odds from Billy Hill.... 20. Sunderland 1.00 19. Portsmouth 1.61 18. West Brom 1.66 17. Birmingham 2.20 16. Everton 5.50 15. Fulham 7.50 14. West Ham 8.50 13. Charlton 11.00 12. Nappy Rippers 17.00 11. Newcastle 41.00 So, Hills have us at 40/1 to go down, having us finishing in 11th place. Best odds for a bottom 6 finish from Hills is 13/2. Looking at that list from the experts, what odds are you offering on us finishing in the bottom 6, Alex? Anybody think this 40/1 from BH is huge given the circumstances? 74254[/snapback] Evens 74425[/snapback]
  19. Don't agree, Spongebob 74248[/snapback] I would take Parker over Butt, Owen over Bellamy, Luque over the version of Robert that we were left with and Emre over Jenas every time. I would also take Boumsong for all his faults over OBrian or Hughes
