  1. Can't remember too much about this as a newly married 24 year old with a bairn and a mortgage. Wasn't the idea that a house with 5 working adults in should pay more than an identical household with 2 working adults, and if so, what was wrong with that principal. Was it not that Labour councils used the new tax to try and get much more money in than they'd being getting by setting daft bills?
  2. Just watched the second half again and didnt realise just how well routledge played. At one point I thought the TV had jumped onto fast forward....They should rename him Billy Whizz. Its a shame he doesnt have an enrique on his side. A few times he played some lovely thru balls to Simpson but he just didnt have the confidence to run down the wing with it.
  3. I believe MattM4 posted what you are after on page 7 of this thread any ideas how to make this work anyone? When you come to extract this file, do the following 1. Right click the 1st RAR file. 2. Click Extract Files... 3. Tick Keep Broken Files. 4. Click OK. For me it wont play on vlc but will on windows media player. Curry eaten, cans at the ready, wife at the bingo.......bliss
  4. I winnit bother meself I might give it a go......Not going to be deturd Top punnery there CT This thread has just hit the skids. Best nip it now. Punnery!!!! Misses an open goal with Poo'nnery :angry:
  5. Have said it before elsewhere, but has anyone at the club actually said we definitely will not pay more than x and not sign anyone under y if so can they linky Personally I dont think that will be a hard and fast rule and if the right player is available outside of those barriers then they will be considered. What seems pretty certain is that we are not going to spend silly amounts for the journeymen.

  7. Seems that one of the files 1, part 4 is corrupt !!!!!! Had about 20 goes at downloading it . If anyone knows of any other sources, please linky.
  8. You think we'll sign no one I really think this is a very hard one to call. Gut instinct tells me that most of them are not good enough, but there has to be something said for a group of players who are used to playing well and winning together along with the team spirit. If pushed I would prefer a new RB (Or as someone said elsewhere, S Taylor there. Im sure he played well at some point there last season with some decent runs down the flank?) Barton will hopefully come good, a replacement for Jonas and a really good No 9
  9. haven't you said we bought well in January ? January was about securing promotion.
  10. None at all but heres a site you may be interested in http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/ I do think its canny daft that people expect you to put money on the table because they cant accept your opinion. "You are wrong and you should either admit it or put money on your opinion". I dont always agree with you but thats a bit stupid. You can even hope ashley will invest enough money over the summer to give us a chance of staying up. It might be a forlorn hope but you're allowed to hope for it. Imo of course. And i am prepared to bet a tenner that this will be proved to be stupid in 5 years time.... when people grow up. I quite often look back at some of my posts and dont agree with myself :angry: But to me I put that down to the Keegan heart on your sleeve mentality. I write the way I feel at that time without worrying about whether Im going to contradict something I said previously. I am also very forgiving and optimistic by nature so these traits no doubt have an effect. I was devestated over Keegan, detest Llambias and see Ashley as being a very silly boy who shouldnt have left the the lunatics in charge of the Asylum. Like most I also had little faith in Hughton but I am genuinely delighted for him (and us) and just wish we could have a nice Disney ending where Mike stays for the long haul and builds us over time into world beaters, led by a new generation of Hughton's entertainers. I appreciate some will never forgive Ashley and others have traits that lead them to assume the worst will happen (understandable after recent years). But I also agree that on an internet forum you should be able to argue the hell out of each others position without resorting to bets or falling out.
  11. Agreed, it's all easy when things are going well but when tough decisions have to be made will he be able to do it e.g. telling Butt to fuck off this summer. I also agree with Asprilla's point that he's earned a crack at it and I really hope he proves myself and others wrong. Wondering if he's made any this season? I can think of him leaving Barton out after a spat and obviously the decision to play Carrol after "incident". I suppose you could also say he is making a decision by putting Barton in ahead of the fit again Smith. Maybe having the guts to leave Best out as well when Im sure others might have just persevered with him regardless so as not to look a tit. Cant really think of any other Biggies.....
  12. We will though. And thats why he'll probably be getting booed by Christmas. I dont think we will. Surely relegation has to have tempered expectations. I'll be happy with some clever signings from Mr Carr and Hughton, some battling performances and Europe.
  13. I cant understand why the media companies dont make this sort of thing available to download for a fee just like you can with music. Surely it wouldnt effect live viewing figures and many people might want to save games these days.

  15. Aye, we can all do that after the event when he has either succeeded or failed, but its interesting to spot the moment they go from being a nobody to a somebody. Surely the Moyes etc all had to go through that journey.
  16. Its an interesting point that. He's played at a decent level, he's coached for a long time, he's gained the respect of the players, he's created a good club spirit and according to Journos he's handled and deflected the press well by his style. That leaves tactics and an eye for a player which will have to be proved over time and in the Prem. However he still ticks a lot of the boxes. What was the track record for the Oneils, Moyes etc and other decent British managers and when did they come to light. Wasnt Oneil raved about in the lower leagues with Leicester?

  18. Personally I think it would be really nice if Hughton can make the grade. I know they say nice blokes come last, but it would be so refreshing to have a man of his ilk in charge.
  19. Just watched 1 & 2 and must admit to feeling pretty gutted. So far it doesn't seem a patch on bob and is more like watching a shoot em up video game. Far too much prolonged action without first building any relationships between viewer and actors. Hope episode 3 brings it to life.
  20. Giving carlitos way anything less than a 9.5 is a travesty tbf.
