I was there a couple of weeks ago and it wasn't that good, and they were awful home and away before xmas....apart from when they twatted us obviously TN wasnt at the game on Saturday, he was on here telling everyone how being positive on the end of a broadband connection will transmit good vibes to the team.....man

I asked you yesterday how a more positive attitude helped Shola to his best 45mins for 6 months and you studiously ignored the question...but now I see how it works with yor good self....something about as scientific as the signs of the zodiac..but of it works for you fair play

Yeah but the ref let the player stay on the pitch! One of the best (and worst...who says Italy is the home of the art of defending after that?!) halves of football I've seen in ages, great stuff. That Cavani scored a hatrick, 30 goals this sseason, how much is he worth?..will Ashley be sending Graham Carr on a weekend break to Naples any time soon?

Shola's goal was pushed in by Hennesy http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/...t-half-8937026/ 4-1 Jonas

Jesus, you're such a dick. Where did i say we'd lose today? Never said you did...just highlighting being positive is good. So you being in prozac has made Shola score one and make another then? And you can only appeal a red I think, so Nolan's screwed

Went to a creamtion in January for an old mate I played football with who was only 38 when he shuffled off. Mind, he was doing 2 bottles of vodka a day at the end and had multi organ failure They're a fact of life, but never easy. They do quite often lead to spectacular piss ups though

I'm trying to send an email with an ms office spreadsheet attachment.... .it looks like something is removing the attachment after I press send because if I look at the sent messages the attacment is nowhere to be seen on the sent email...anyone got any idea what could be doing it? I tried to send the actual spreadsheet document via outlook too and it didnt go either

My old man wants "HE SUFFERED FOOLS BADLY" on his and if the old dear goes first it shall be done mines would be another Spike-ism: "UNDER THIS SOD LIES ANOTHER ONE"

Aye, I said "welsh", but the proper term is "Brythonic" as am sure you're aware. And Oppenheimer is a good read, but as with anything else in this filed just well researched opinion. Brian Syke's "Blood of the Isles" is a similar study but reaches slightly different conclusions. I disagree it's well research opinion. The methods are pure and the conclusions robust. That does not make them true but calling it opinion undermines the rigorous scientific method. I've not read Sykes but I just looked at the wiki and it's pretty much exactly what Oppenheimer says, there may be some differences but the main thrust is a rejection of received wisdom on Anglo-Saxon / Norman influences. Thanks for the Sykes reference though, am going to get that and read it. Yeah am not an academic in any way so am sure you're right about the methods of research. Most histories of these islands start around AD43 with the Roman conquest and go from there but as you say, a lot important things which happened genetically were a long time before that.

Apart from Portsmouth who are just generic southern charva's, Southampton across to Bournemouth, Weymouth and Bognor Regis are all just farmer types by the coast. I mean look at the state of Mick Channon's accent. However, I've never lived there, so my grouping isn't set in stone, largely speaking I think I'm right about the rest though. Well if you're goingnto get down to it, there are subtle differences anywhere. Got a few mates from Portsmouth and lived with a lad from university from Southampton. Nowt to differentiate themselves from the restof the south. There's fucking millions of charvas in Kent for example. Bristol and south west are different people though, genetically and culturally. I base the genetic differentiation on that Oppenheimer book I must have mentioned on here about 10 times now. You should have a read of it. Google his name plus origin of the British. We're originally all "Welsh" and genetically mostly still are. They found a skeleton in a cave in Cheddar in the early 1900s and few years back analysed dna from it and compared it to samples from various locals...the closest match was almost identicle and belonged to a history teacher at the local high school. Similar studies in Shetland have shown the native "Pictish" gene is stronger than the "Norse" gene that the Vikings brought in. Very Generally, we are who we were at the end of the last ice age, despite celts, romans,saxons,vikings,normans et al The old border between Hampshire and Dorset is about a mile from where I live, at County Gates in Westbourne, and I can confim that they're all cunts on both sides of it Bournemouth used to be in Hampshire, but it changed in the 70s which made the locals very upset to be included in the "west country" i.e. joined to the Borough of Poole, snobby fuckers Hampshire played cricket in Bournemouth right up till the 90s, bit like Yorkshire playing at Middlesbrough now and then.

Well that happened to me 30 years ago when we moved north of the border so its not a new thing tbh. Thing is, most people who live outside of England but in the UK are pretty indifferent to the English but they know things like booing the national anthem (again, something that goes back decades in football) drives English folk to distraction, so they do it all the more. A lot of it is a wind up, but there are exceptions where idiots hate people theyve never met and know little of, but they're everywhere, in England too... We're powerless to stop people wanting to harm us with terrorism if you ask me. We can't change our history in the present and someone is always going to use it to beat us over the head. The security services do a pretty brilliant job stopping the threats from various nutjobs, but it can't be perfect so some terrible things are always likely to happen on our streets in the name of someone's bullshit "cause". Honestly mate and I've experienced this first hand, people from Perthshire up with the possible exception of Dundee, are vehemently and inherently anti-English, not for a wind up or anything else, they hate the English. I bet if you went in a pub in Aberdeen, Perth, Pitlochry, Braemar, Elgin, Dingwall or Peterhead tonight and analysed the words of every conversation, "English basturts" would be the most frequently used phrase. The thing is as well they're so fuckin insular up there it's unbelievable, and racism I can only imagine what it must be like, being black and English in Aberdeen and places in the North of Scotland. I don't think it's all a wind up. The best jocks are from Glasgow and its surrounds, nearest thing you'll get to geordies the rest are insular haters of the English, well apart from Edinburgh where half the pop. is English. Lots of snobby cunts there. Well yeah but like I say theyre everywhere though, its like you with scousers though. Either you genuinely hate them, or what you put on here about them is a wind up and you have no strong feelings about them but like taking the piss out of them. I've lost jobs because of my "interesting" accent, not part of the "in crowd" of locals etc...but thats life. People are invariably cunts out to blame anyone else for their own problems. Or they're wind up merchants.

WTF you going on about "That thick scouser". I made me above point because a lot geordies support Scotland and follow the Scottish league hence snakeships comment. Also geordies and the Scottish can understand each other when they speak. I know famous geordies when they go on the telly they need English lessons hence Ant and Dec and Cheyrl Cole. Thats the reason byker grove crashed mate. No one could understand the fuckers.

Stainrod appears to be making a cast for more French business, seeing of anyone or any other club bites....maybe he fancies himself as some sort of Willie Mckay type? Fuck me that would be a strange ambition in life

Book recommndation....this has been out for a while and I think is quite well known but it's a brilliant read if you feel that Andy McNab is a bit of a sap http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertai...ey-1719368.html

Made even more ridiculous by the fact that we'll have had 1 game in 4 weeks. Made even more ridiculous by the fact that the Villa game is on Sunday 10th. So it is....I'l just get me coat

Man Utd at home is now on Tuesday 19th April at 7 45pm.....we play Villa at 4pm on the Sunday 17th...just over 50 hrs between the games for us...Man Utd play Citeh in the cup on Sat 16th....why the fuck cant it be played on the Wednesday? Manu's next game is Everton the following Saturday as is ours v Blackpool....Is this a Sky take it or leave it thing?...or Fergie manipulating it for his own ends? http://nufc.com/2010-11html/fixtures.html http://www.manutd.com/en/Fixtures-And-Resu...s.aspx?pageNo=4

didnt she get custody of Bubbles when Jacko croaked it?....poor little fucker

Google Newcastle 5 Leicester 4 and stick it in youtube. Listen to the roar when McGhee makes it 5-4. Thing of the past that noo, only 21,000 or so there too. Best noise I can remember was first home game of the season against Spurs who Gazza had just joined, we'd lost 4-0 at the blue dippers the week before, and were supposed to get stuffed off Spurs too, but we were winning 2-0 after 4 minutes, both goals at a dangerously full Gallowgate End. There was 45,000 in that day imo. Given as about 35,000. Was that the day the new Milburn Stand was openened as well as Gazza being there??? I agree with the attendance stuff anarl, I am positive 'they' used to doctor them - probably for tax purposes. Milburn first opened it's doors against Spurs, but it was 6 months previous - when Gazza was playing for us and scored both goals in a 2-0 win. Aye but it wasn't fully open at all 87/88. The whole stand was open that first home game day, was the sunniest day ever at the start of the game. Half time came 2-0 up and the weather changed, and Waddle the cunt scored after 5 seconds of the second half. Here's one for you Craig who did he play all of the 1 2's with? It ended 2-2, but that 2-0 game pissed it doon, best game Gazza had for toon imo, that or the year before when ye took the piss out of Paul McGrath. I've still got the program for that and you're half right as far as I can remember...we beat Spurs at home 2 nowt in a fuckin blizzard!

Thats how much he paid the Hall's and Shepherd for their shares in 2007, which made the club hugely overpriced. Now how much has he put in since then? Never played any online management game but it doesn't appear to be very accurate from what you've said there. Don't believe the spin, Ashley got the club for a fair price, which took all the debt into consideration. The ground alone is worth 300m. Ashley messed up by not knowing the mortgage (around £50m) was repayable straight away when the club was sold. So how much did he pay then Phil?....we were a PLC then, the price would have to have been disclosed to the stock market. Anyone else want to take a guess at how much he'll want for the club so he can make his money back? For me, that figure is high and is going to be the biggest obstacle to the club moving forward in the short,medium and long term.

So you're saying that Newcastle United are worth 200 mill+ to someone or some collection of individuals with nothing but profit on their minds?....the thing is theres no comparable club thats been sold recently. Villa went for 62.6 million in 2006, before the credit crunch etc. We would naturally claim we are a bigger club than them, higher profile, bigger turnover,matchday revenue etc etc...but we probably don't completely dwarf Villa in those regards.Are we worth 140million more than they were before the worldwide financial crisis because we can flog more pies and shirts?...I personally don't think so. Am willing to be proved wrong though. Thaksin Shinawtra paid 21.2mill for Man City, and Shiekh Mansour paid 170mill to Thaksin to clear their debt, along with about 50 million for his shares. The chances of a another Sheikh Mansour appearing are,if you ask me, remote to the point of virtual non existance . Does anyone want to become a club like Man City and all the hatred and jealousy that comes with that?...look at the money thyve shelled out and theyre rubbish without Tevez. Better to grow a club organically if you ask me, but am sure some will disagree with that. Dr Gloom said that we're stuck with him until the financial situation is better and that is certainly true. The rest is just conjecture and wishful thinking. But I can't see anyone paying 200mill plus for us, sad to say.
