I also used the snail mail method. As yet, nowt.

Less beer, less maccy D's. Though I dont practice what I preach here (fat bastard tbh), muscle burns fat by just being muscle, more you have more you burn. After weights, the muscles burn energy for another few hours. Cardio is there and then. Cardio is still good mind, but both should be done. The type of cardio, these days its said shorter bursts are said to be more beneficial. For example, 30min jog, Jog 3, Run 1, sprint 1, Jog 3, Run 1 and so on. (Interval training). Also, while crunches are good and should be included, you cant spot reduce fat. So while you may be building your abs, crunches wont get rid of the fat thats hiding them. Again, just keep on with what you do. Blokes are hit hardest in their gut fat stores and women in thighs. You will burn fat providing you keep a calorie deficit. Bit more complicated than that like (what and when you eat) but thats the basic of it. Now, if only I could get up off my arse and listen to myself

Would I be happy with MON? Yeah. I dont for one second think we could pull the likes of Fergy, Wenger from their post. We aint gonna attract the top manager, though many would relish the challange. Its difficult to say who would be best, I mean - who actually is available? Its all well and good us saying, FS should have went for XYZ, but it aint that simple. For me, Id just like someone who can manage people (not just push them out of the door if they are a problem), someone who had experience in Europe. Ideally someone who can get us playing decent football and not HOOFIT stylee.

The 'PC Brigade' have caused another storm by rewriting a favourite nursery rhyme. They have changed Baa Baa Black Sheep to - Baa Baa Rainbow Sheep. Several nurseries have changed the traditional rhyme so as not offend ethnic minorities, it has been reported. They say the words "black sheep" alienate and offend young black children. And that's not the only rhyme to get a 2006 makeover. Humpty Dumpty has a miraculous escape from impending disaster when he falls from his wall - and stays in one piece. Teachers say they do not want children to be upset by the human egg's scrapes. The controversial changes, which have been seized on as political correctness gone mad, have been introduced by some nursery schools in Oxfordshire. Stuart Chamberlain, manager of the Family Centre in Abingdon and the Sure Start centre in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire, defended the move. He told the Courier Journal newspaper: "We have taken the equal opportunities approach to everything we do. This is fairly standard across nurseries." But parents are reported to be unhappy with the move. "Baa Baa Black Sheep is one of the most well-known nursery rhymes for generations," one parent told The Times. "For people to come and fiddle with it is ridiculous." --------------- Riiight, but there's just one problem, we dont have fecking Rainbow coloured sheep! If you drop and egg off a wall it does bloody break! Pathetic. source :- http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-13512455,00.html

On the new manager links. There are the common names that are brought up again and again. For sure Martin O'neils name is banded around is it is when most jobs come up. Would he prefer to stay out of management still, would he rather take a national role? or maybe a different club. Either way, there are three other names that many assume are the real alternatives. Sam Allardyce Alan Curbs Steve Fecking Bruce Why any single one of those would be considered is beyond me. Fair enough that Allardyce has took Bolton to a canny position and got them into europe. But his style of play is awful. Many would argue that the style doesnt matter so long as we are up there, but I disagree. Its not a case of having good football or a decent leage position. You can actually have both. Many go on about how his awareness and preparation are first class. Then all he does is HOOF IT! I can just imaging. "Right, after weeks of analysing we can see that Scott Parker will break up our play, so *laughs at his own superior football brain* why not cut him out and go right on over his head" I know I dont watch them every week. Also after our recent game he said they didnt play near to their potential. No, they could have got that ball much higher. As for curbs, one minute Charlton fans love him, nexy they want him out. Generally depending on how far up/down the table they are. They say you need to give a manager time, and that is sure whathe has had there. Kept them up, turned them into a half decent mid table side. Always have a few good spells each year. Always drop back to being, well, average. Then good old "geordie boy" himself. Yeah right. Steve Bruce. Just ..... no. If FS considered even thinking of him I'd poke his eyes out with a leaky pen. Also, I have to assume the good "candidate" has experience in Europe? If thats where we want to be, then we need someone who has been there and done it. Doesnt have to have won shed loads, but at least learned from the experience of playing European teams. Anyway, it will be Glen so whats the fuss eh ....

He has a point about the "my time" though, good idea

If you use them "look up the symptoms" things you'll end up diagnosing yourself with a cross between bird flu and crabs. 6 hours to live tbh. Oh and er

Darras Hall, where the shops are. Not my usual haunt but I was there with a few others.

Roeder eats rice! FACT!

Yup, no its not a cheesy joke, I went for a chinees last night and after 10mins who should come and sit on the table next to me? Roeder, McDermott and a bloke I didnt recognise with their wives. Then me, being the fan I am, did I go up and chat away about the match today? or about the new manager? Did I shite. Never said a word to him Figured he'd not really want me spitting fried rice in his eye as I mumbled about football. I did however, note that he appeared to get louder as the night went on. I wasnt "really" earwigging But I heard the gist of two conversations, one about the much improved spirit in the camp, and the other pretty much suggesting he knew nothing about the next manager and heard them mention Curbs & Bruce's names along with the statement it could be anyone. Cracking chinees though! On another note, and not from this meal, but I was told that "alledgedly" Luque wont play again under Roeder after his game the other day. Something to do with Luque ignoring all the intructions GR had given him. Never make a reporter me like

There was a downside to his second goals though.... I had a quid on him being first scorer and us winning 1-0 at 50.1

Taken from the ronny gill. Im not really a fan, of big sam, even if eating, green eggs and ham... Though I understand he is said to be thorough? Its more the style his side adopts that bothers me. Sure Bolton are doing ok, but Im just not sure he is the sort of guy we want. Curbs dont fill me with much confidence and as for Bruce, no ... Just . no. Even FS wouldnt do that, would he?

Happy Birthday !!

Jeees, I've never read posts from so many uptight tarts in my life! What gives with all the us v them shite anyway? What this thread need is something to wipe all the crap away.

How coulds form eh ... Goes right over my head tbh ...

Thats gonna be one bad ass headache like.

Or perhaps an ornithologist (sp? come on its early!) who studies birds of the farn islands that could get into mensa? ...... Ok, I know only I know what I babbling about there so Ill back away slowly.....

She wants to watch where that wheels gannin. Might me an embarrassing hospital visit. Unless she's been on the currys like. Then it could be extra oil in the wheels and she'd have to watch her balance. Maybe thats how she fell over like...
