Putting aside that this is another Choudray inspired publicity stunt/wind up (also see his 'plans' for Wooton Basset) how do those who are putting these posters up intend to enforce a 'sharia law zone'?...if they incite violence over this am pretty sure they can be jailed for it like that bell end who wore the suicide bombers vest at some protest a couple of years back.

Blowers nearly had a heart attack on TMS Boycott just saying before Broad's first wicket in that spell : "I saw the lad's fatha this morning and told him the lad should be pitching it oop a bit" He eventually go 4 wickets for no runs in 3 overs. Class stuff...and he's just got them all out for 288. Broad 6-46 in that innings, his best test figures. India lead by 67 and they reckon it will be easier to bat the longer the match goes on.

Had a cracking weekend lined up at camp bestival http://www.campbestival.net/ However, Mrs PL has deigned that now is just the right time to be diagnosed with shingles. Nice. Her coats on a shoogly peg, I don't mind telling you.....

Over 30, no resale value. What you'd do is irrelevent, its what the club's policy is that is the deterimining factor here. Ashley woouldnt want him at his age, and Bellamy wouldnt drop his wages to 30k (max) to come back to a club where he's despised by at least half the supporters. Unless he's gone fuckin mad since May.

90k a week. Have a word with yourself

Who in the mind of fuck is going to pay 8million for a player who can walk away in 12 months for nothing? Liverpool will come in with no more than 48 hrs of the window left and offer no more than 4 mill and we'll take it; Iain Harte will come in on loan from Reading and Pardew will release a statement saying he's happy to have such "an experienced player in the squad"

Their '99 divi 3 average is often as exaggerated as much as the mackems following.....29k is fairly good, but fuck knows where they got the 9k extra fans compared with their 19k in the division above 11 years earlier http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/england.htm Most of them are ok, got to say that really as I should've been one...mothers from West Gorton, where Shameless was filmed. Proud to say no rags among my family

In a half decent spurs side he how many league goals did he get last season?...2?...9 mill?...hes past it iyam...definetly at that price.

I wasn't neither. I can't think of one good looking jewish person though, always big noses and eyes too close together. Good way to check if that post might be termed dodgy by some...substitute 'jewish' with 'black' and see if anyone calls you racist...

If he was world class I think Barca or Real would be in for him. Cant picture the Real left back but for me Jose's not in Abidal's class. And thats why hes still here. At the moment. Now doing at Liverpool as it looks like Dalglish has had other priorities (what happened to 'building from the back' btw?) and now has to sell to buy. So that leaves which clubs willing to pay an half decent left back 50k a week? And none of the promotion side who stayed after relegation were completely motivated by 'righting a wrong'....a lot of them wouldve struggled to get the same contracts elsewhere. But he is the sort of player we should be hanging on to if we want to progress. Sad really. :-(

40-50k, not much difference really. The fact is that at 19 when he signed it was a huge contract for a player of his age and experiance. Theres only 2 clubs in Spain that pay that sort of money. That and his twitter outburst may tell us what truly motivates him. I dont really have a problem with that but its the effect all this has had on the rest of the squad. He plainly thought he wouldnt be with the squad in the US and has let us all know how unhappy he is about the situation. I wonder if he wouldve stopped Liverpool getting twatted 3 nowt at Hull over the weekend? :-D

We'd get him on a free! Mike would like that. 9 years after Solano finished him as a player at the top level the day we beat Leeds 3-4.....its not beyond the realms of possibility

Who was in the championship team of the season at left back? Was it the lad we trled to sign from Swansea?..

Thought I'd clipped on mumsnet by mistake its just words on a screen, ffs this place is getting like lord of the flies Lord of the Flies is just words on a page. precisely, so why take seriously the opinions of a bloke you've never met and probably wouldnt enjoy sharing a pint with?...I don't get it...

Thought I'd clipped on mumsnet by mistake its just words on a screen, ffs this place is getting like lord of the flies

I dont think the club have had as much as an enquiry for him so this appears to me to be a pretty clumsy and desperate attempt by jose and his agent to bring the issue to a head...doesnt reflect well on the player like but can anyone blame him for wanting to leave?.....regardless of the ins and outs of it, the lack of ambition at NUFC is sending all the wrong signals to our better players.

good god, youre such a dick From todays Observer: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/...lling-tim-adams

All over tomorrow's papers...with Barton's commments as well... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...fer-policy.html Is moral actually lower now than it was post Orient a couple of years back?....

Thats my point....punk rock didnt have many virtuoso "players" but the likes of Steve Cook from the Sex Pistols certainly had energy and charisma. It doesnt have to be note perfect and very technical to have musical merit. All you need is 3 chords to write a song....

Doherty plays guitar and co-wrote most of the Libertines stuff and as far as I believe wrote most of the Babyshambles songs. Hes classed as good enough a singer to have colaborated with other singers. As for Winehouse not making her money out of being a junkie, whats the song shes most well known for about again? As far as talent goes I think both have way more than they deserve based on the way they chose to waste it. Listen pal, I know about music. Doherty's guitar playing is absolutely abysmal, the worst I've heard from anyone who makes a living as a musician. As I said, he cannot play any instrument, "to a standard where he could be considered a great talent," by anyone who knows anything about playing musical instruments, that is. I'm well aware Doherty wrote Libertines/Babyshambles songs. That material isn't great. None of his songs captured the imagination of the fans of popular music in the way a song like 'Rehab' did. Qualitatively Winehouse's songwriting is much better than Doherty's, whose fans can only point to the occasional near-wit of, "an englishman in a baseball cap." Whoop de fucking do. Anyone with ears and a functioning brain can tell that Amy Winehouse is so far superior a singer to the likes of Doherty as to not even warrant comparison. Winehouse used her songwriting and vocal talent to create a hit that referenced her struggle with alcoholism. Does that constitute making money out of being a junkie? Now you just sound stupid. And I can only assume your attitude and comments toward this woman stem from a deep jealousy of the wealth she accrued through her talent. She may be dead, but she'll make more money in death than you'll ever have a sniff at, unless you win the lottery. So all that leaves you is snide comments. Type away. What a wonderful culture we live in. Do you?..are you a musician or a "just" a fan? Thing is you don't need to be talented to be successful. I'd much rather listen to anything Doherty has done than anything Winehouse has done. Thats just personal taste. That doesn't mean that Doherty is more talented though does it? For me though Doherty is very much in keeping with what you might call classic English guitarist/ songwriters going back to the likes of those 2 from the Beatles, Ray Davies, the better glam bands like T Rex Slade etc through punk and new wave where you get Weller and Costello up to Noel Gallagher.. Some of these were more talented than others but they could all write good songs in what I'd call an very "English" way. Amy Winehouse was Jewish British and sang like an African American....fair enough in a way and not uncommon for someone from here to imitate the yanks, but for me she was a bit inauthentic considering her background. Maybe she just imititated what she heard growing up, which is again fair enough in a way. But she always struck me as trying a bit too hard to be something she wasnt. Put me off her a bit. But she did write good songs. She''ll be missed musically and obviously by her family a great deal. A sad loss. As for the rest of your post chill the fuck out old son its Sunday lunch time I'm a musician, not a particularly talented one. If you want to quantify my ability, I can play classical pieces (guitar) of a grade 6/7 standard. I mainly play electric guitar atm though, transcribing blues records note-for-note (Freddie King, Albert King, so on). I can read and write music and know some music theory. Basically, if you put me through musical aptitude tests against your average non-musician, I would win comfortably. I'm better qualified to judge musical talent than, say, PeasePud and Ant. You can call that arrogant, but it's true. Doherty's guitar playing is particularly bad. There are some musicians who play in an idiosyncratic style which isn't technically correct, but sounds great. Doherty's is just plain shit. The lyrics I don't care for. He's not worthy of comparison to Mccartney and some of the other songwriters you've listed there; even the likes of Noel Gallagher I would say are substantially more talented than Doherty. The fact is, the Libertines and Doherty built a very devoted fanbase via the internet, arranging gigs at a fan's flat and so on. That is great marketing. The music press picked up on this and hyped them a lot, it set them apart from the average shitty-indie-guitar-band that we currently see no end of. They were not a band of particular merit: the material and musicianship weren't extraordinary by any measure. They played on their hedonistic drug-fuelled image, the fans lapped it up. When Doherty started fucking Kate Moss--an important stage in every musician's career--his fame exploded rapidly. The material I've seen him promote as a solo artist, and the performances of it, have been shit. He is a person whose success has more to do with hype, fame and marketing than talent. Fair enough, but as I say talent doesnt always equal success and vice versa. And as you say, he wasnt really that popular either before getting in the tabloids via Moss. But a couple of years back on a Friday night I went to see the Kaiser Chiefs and then the following Monday went to the same venue to see Babyshambles. That Ricky from the Chiefs is a good frontman if you have a fondness for the "performing gibbon on amphetamine" school of showmanship..he and they were ok, but he seemed to be trying a bit too hard for my liking. Cut to Monday, and whatever it is you need to create an actual riot just by apppearing on stage then there is no doubt Doherty had/has it in spades.He was straight for that tour, the band were tight and he sang like an angel. I think his stage charisma is very underrated, he's just got it iyam, in a way that the likes if Ricky thingy just hasn't, for all his running around the stage like a fuckin loon. Very impressed with your mucsical credentials btw, nowt wrong with blowing your own trumpet

The Sun stated on their front page yesterday that moslem terrorists were responsible. Not an uncommon comment from millions of people on Friday afternoon I'd guess, but for a national newspaper to print it as "fact" is grossly irresponsible iyam.

We should just rely on Best then, as he has proven he can score in the premier league? It may be an underwhelming signing but he has a good reputation amongst the PSG fans I know. Really?....I thought he'd had a poor season, and that was why theyre getting rid. Wonder how much Pardew has seen of him?....couple of youtube clips?

That may be true, and if you look at the bomb yesterday afternoon then you could say the IRA tried to murder the entire conservative cabinet at Brighton in a similar manner. But the IRA didnt follow it up by shooting dead 80 odd innocent kids in cold blood. They were (and some still remain) amoral murdering bastards but this is on a different planet. This appaears to my completely amateur eyes as the work of a madman, psycopath call it what you want, am not sure of the correct term but you get what I mean.
