  1. Everyone here would probably say their dream job as a bairn was to be a footballer, but you need so much luck, focus and dedication. It isn't all about talent, I bet there are people in this forum with more natural ability than some professional footballers, you just need everything to click in to place, not just in football but in any job where there are infinitely fewer opportunities than people willing to do it. My ambition was to be a journalist of sorts, I don't think that could ever happen now, I'd need to go and get a degree for one, and fuck that, but good luck in whatever dream you chase. You don't need a degree. Apart from footie what would you like to write about or have some degree of knowledge about? You needed a media qualification I know that for an absolute nailed on fact, certainly to get a job at Thomson House. Football would be what I would like to write about, or be a travel reporter, I'm not as well travelled as the likes of that cunt on here who's old forget his name, you know who I mean, but who is, I've been about a bit though. I'd be a good news reporter for a trashy paper as well, who need sensationalist stories for non-events. NCTJ qualifications are more important than a degree nowadays but the courses cost upwards of £1000 if I remember correctly. Trouble is even if you have the time and money to do the course the chances of you getting a job in journalism at the minute are slim. All you need is an aptitude for discursive writing and some will power, the rest is cobblers. How I wish that was true I'm living proof. It was possible in the past. I know Jez Robinson, the bloke behind ALS, he basically started off the fanzine with no prior writing experience and ended up working for the local and national press. Nowadays though because jobs are so thin on the ground you need to be well qualified or related to someone with their foot already in the door. I've now done 3 corporate books and working on my 4th, I have no kind of writing qualification whatsoever. Aye, but that's a completely different kettle of fish to working for a newspaper or magazine. I have written for at least a half dozen mags. Was it paid work?

  6. An emergency boss to replace the caretakers who are keeping the seat warm for the interim We'll have effectively had five managers this season if we do get El Tel. That aside we need someone, anyone to come in with fresh ideas and start directing traffic. Hughton and Calderwood simply aren't up to the task.
  7. The FAQ is mind blowing. In tears in WH Smiths I do like the wummery that has went into this'un though...
  8. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/cherished-Jade-Goody...%3A1|240%3A1318 It's almost enough to make you want to join Al Qaeda
  9. You don't think this one was any good then? never liked the collar to be fair Get out
  10. Super Mac isn't on the Legends tonight
  11. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/20...galloway-canada
  12. I agree 100%. I can think of at least five who would be more entertaining and a better all round journalist than him. A key thing I would bring to a roll like that would be direct questions, not worrying about offending people, which are absolutely vital in any free journalistic publication. Your application just went in the bin Haha, I make schoolboy errors quite often when I'm typing fast, what used to amaze me though with Alan Oliver, was the amount of times his glaring gramatical and spelling errors managed to beat the copy checkers, so you can imagine what his draft pieces looked like. Same with this Lee Ryder. Oliver used to telephone his match reports in, so you can blame (at least some) of his gramatical mistakes on the work experience child on the other end of the phone. He was the only journalist who turned up to the match without a laptop. Aye...but they have a professional copy checking team, who's only role is to check for grammar and spelling. The Journal have a team of about seven who just check for mistakes, and the main part of their job starts about 9pm and ends at 1am. Being ex-chief sub on the uni newspaper I can pretty much guarantee that would be four hours of sheer hell
  13. Scott Parker - I thought he embodied everything that was wrong with Newcastle under Souness. I used to get dizzy just watching him on the ball. Kevin Phillips - Obvious reasons. Roy Keane - Always thought he was a major wanker on the pitch to go out and injure a player on purpose....then he went to the Mackems. Wayne Rooney - Gobby fucker who always scores against us. I just can't abide him.
  14. I missed that, are you sure cos I'll ring him and ask him if he knows? Just what my uncle told me.
  15. I don't understand how left wing politics and Labour's layabout subculture are in any way related since in my experience said layabouts are obnoxious, right wing Jezza Kyle fodder.
  16. Ben Arentoft was there, wasn't he? Can't really imagine our current players having a clue who he was but yer never kna
  17. See a bit of yourself in there? Only the left wing bit. Everything else is miles off the mark.
  18. I'd imagine it would be a fairly recent former manager but SBR is the only match going one. I really can't imagine them kicking him out.
  19. Danny B's post = massive LOLs
  20. More of a plaque wasn't it?
  21. more of a trophy than you lot have received since 1969 if we win the play offs I'm sure we got a trophy for winning the First Division
  22. So do I. he that bad these days? Christopher Reeve would be more effective.
  23. Israel has a history when it comes to stuff like this so it wouldn't surprise me if every last word was true.
