Tell us why we're borrowing more to keep the country going again CT?...must have missed your explanation earlier...no copy/paste jobs neither, I want it straight from the horses mouth as it were....

Never seen him play, whats his best position?...

The differences on what should decide the election are fuckin huge at the moment, possibly bigger than at any time since Thatcher shuffled off. Labour knew that the best way out of the recession was a Keynesian route where huge amounts of public money should be spent in order to support the economy, which before they lost power was producing a hugely more significant recovery than anything the Tories have achieved since, For me Brown and Darling had it going in the right direction. All the Tories had to offer was their own ideologically driven mantra; "cut the debt and go fuck yourself if you don't like it or cant survive it". This has the economy flatlining at best and Gideon is having to borrow even more money to prop things up, the diametric opposite of what he set out to achieve. Thing is, elections are decided on the personality on the person wanting to be PM. At this rate no one will bother to vote for either party such are the complete fuckin non entities leading both of them.

Don't think anyone is saying that, its more a bullshit PR stunt with a tame local media. Put Lambchop in a room with HF and all his graphs and pie charts and he'd have a fuckin coronary.

What I stated remains the case, this is exactly what I mean. If the right offer comes in we'll sell. That's how we finance the likes of January's spending. Nowt wrong with it, and if a couple of players do leave for big money and are replaced with players of the calibre we've seen in the last couple of years there won't be too many complaints. The only thing about this is wages. If the money coming in for players is also used to be able to increase the wages on offer, if we're canny we can attract an even better quality of player. No real way of knowing what the wage ceiling is atm, but its probably fair to say that we punched above our weight last season on wages paid to performance ratio. 5th was phenomenal, helped by some very sharp scouting and transfer fees paid....also knowing what is in a player's contract helps.

Am quite hopeful for the Europa, as long as those at the top of the club take it seriously......thing is, with 60 million on the table for maintaining Premier League status, it could be largely the kids again...

not heard it yet tbh.....played the arse off Loveless back in the day, trying to get something out of it, but thought that was dull as fuck too. MBV=Overrated iyam.

Give them the benefit of the doubt for basically wasting this season and almost ruining the good work of last season?....Ant gets it right, NUFC is run on a series of short term gambles; some pay off, some don't. Not exactly long term planning is it? We're still in the Europa, a run to at least the semis would salvage something but its all a bit of fuckin pisser after last seasons efforts.

Milliband doesn't impress me much, but we've got the same "open goal" thing this time round.....Cameron couldn't get a working majority against Gordon fuckin Brown, who was widely derided as PM. All Miliband has to do is keep pounding away at the lack of growth in the economy v austerity cuts and he should be home and dry. But he won't be because he's a weird looking nasal school-swot type of character. Not enough people wil vote for him either. Blair, for all his many faults, would piss this.

That Emre fellah who played here a few years back is getting a name for himself, and its not a good one...

Top one reminds me of the late 80s Arsenal away strip,the yellow and blue "checkered" one....both of them make the played appear to have been run over by a tractor...

Would Gazza have turned completely to the bottle regardless of how he was treated by his ex wife and advisers during his career?...if that's a yes, then is it fair to say he's been ill all his adult life? If that's true, are all his problems down to him being ill?...and has that illness affected the way hes treated the likes of Cheryl?....is alcoholism a real illness or is that just a cop out for those who really and truly couldn't give a fuck?...I know its treated as an illness, but when a drunk beats a woman up as HF says its hard to have any real sympathy.

Striker seems favourite....wouldn't want to rely on a travel weary Adebayor for fuckin anything, genius though he is on his day...thankfully not seen for some time...

Isnt that the difference between squad numbers and squad depth though? Weve got numbers, its just the lack of experience among them that's the problem . None of the managers post KK had us in the bottom 5 in late January because when first teamers were out there was usually and experienced Premier League player to replace them,not the likes of Sammy,Fergie,Biggery etc etc; all novices. Not saying some of the squad players of yesteryear were all top quality by any means, but a lot of them weren't still learning the game.

So was I but if we are going to compete long term on wages with the likes of Liverpool,Spurs,Everton etc then selling key players for vast sums is the name of the game. To me that's where we fucked up this summer...." It doesn't grow on trees"

looks like a toss up between Debuchy and Mbiwa....Simmo, Stevie T can cover at right back etc...pity thems the rules, if the players are motivated for this we could do well....44 years an counting as many have said in this very thread. Kharkiv play Whitley Bay on Sunday night! They sit fourth in the Ukraine Premier League, but are currently on a mid-season break that sees them without a league fixture between December 2 and March 1. Their last competitive game ended in a 1-0 defeat at home to Rapid Vienna on December 6, but they have played a few friendly games, beating Russian side CSKA Moscow 4-2 at a Spanish training camp. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/10213257._/

Various injury situations under nearly every manager since KK left in 97 have been infinetly worse than this season iyam. Its the comparatively piss weak replacements in the squad that have caused this seasons shambles. Who's responsible for that again?....

Can somebody make sure Stevie's seen that? just the chap theyre looking for

This lot have only won 2 out of the last 5 at home....we take our A game and theres a point in it for us...at least....

So the protest is against the Royal British Legion then? Theyre responsible for the poppy campaign, not the queen the British armed forces or the UK government. Good. Glad we've sorted that out. Your argument is with a bunch of retired men who enjoy a cheap pint?

There want any nazism in the 1914-18 war, after which the poppy was introduced as a token of rememberance. Try again bhoy, this time get your history right. Youve listened to too many bigots.

What about the ones who spelt out "no bloody poppy on our shirts" in the crowd. was that outside or were the pictures of that little stunt faked? I've not differentiated between the dead of previous centuries and the dead of this century. Makes no difference to me.

Then they should have the decency to show respect for the sacrifice of others and not indulge in attention seeking protests around Rememberance Sunday. Say nowt, or dont enter the stadium till the rememberance is over if they need to disagree with it. It would mark them out as decent human beings, not childish disrespectful scumbags.
