  1. Bloody southerners worse than foreigners tbh.
  2. I think you are confusing real life with escape to victory.
  3. I personally think he will improve and start playing well again.
  4. I assume you mean the new re-make. Yip How did Hugh Laurie become such a hollywood star.
  5. Aye thats very true. We should point at the French instead tbh. Or the Swiss. Where were the Jamaicans when we needed them tbh? Fighting for the allies. All the colonies provided men.
  6. you missed an important word - I've put it in brackets for you. Without mentioning the debts that Chelsea and Liverpools new owners inherited, and manures now have, and Arsenals also now have. Hey - but keep making things up Tell you what mate, you may use Spurs as your yardstick, which is a bit odd anyway, but I wouldn't swap our club for theirs, or their last decade for ours, would you ? As per usual Leazes you're twisting things in your own childish way, you add a word to my post so that you can argue about it even though you put it there. I'll try and explain it to you so you don't get to confused. Arsenal and Spurs have better squads than us, they've built these squads without having to go into debt to do so (ie not borrowing to fund player transfers, understand?) they've done it by using a DOF to spot bargain players and help set up a top class scouting network, I think we should do the same. It isn't hard to get your head around. You speak about Chelsea having debt when Abramovich took over but they did exactly the same as us, borrowed money to fund player transfers, it came out after that if Abramovich hadn't bought the club when he did they would have gone into administration. did you think Ken Bates was a good chairman? As usual, you whinge on about a few clubs that have done better than us. That is all. A few clubs, not dozens, or more, a few. Everybody wants to match these clubs. We have came closer than most. We all want to match them. In your naive desperation to match them, you make things up and overstate the "failure" of your own club, which the vast majority of other fans would like to have matched, and completely fail to grasp that you actually support a good club, one of the best, such is the modern NUFC fan - like you - who whinge on like bairns that qualifying for europe and buying major England players is "shit". You should give yourself a good shake mate - and some of your chums - and understand this. Sadly, it will take a shit board to come in and make you realise just what complete rubbish you have been spouting. As usual, some people on here will understand, but I don't expect the idiots on here to understand, nor the KK bandwagon jumpers. I'm not interested in comparing us to Spurs and their fcuking "planning" BTW, give me Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger as manager instead anyday. I want to bring issue with this comment that you consistently bring up Leazes. Now, I have to say I agree with a fair amount of what you say, that consistent qualifying for European competition is a indictation of the club doing fairly well, and that changing things won't necessarily bring about success, but as for using the purchasing of "major" England internationals as some sort of gauge of success is wide of the mark. Firstly, considering the national teams recent performances in the finals of major competitions that signing these useless feckers wouldn't seem to be the most successful of strategies. Secondly, and most importantly, is that these players usually bear ridiculously high price tags, way way out of proportion with their actual ability. They also usually carry delusions of their own abilities, built up by this nations media. Personally I'd prefer to see the signing of lesser known talented individuals that have been scouted and identified to improve the squads ability, for example N'Zogbia, Krul. Admittedly we can't just sign young players, we do need experience, but it is possible to create an effective side from lesser known players, and some would argue you'd have a better team because of it. The reference to "England players" denotes by implication "quality players", as in the past when we had quality players we sold them, due to having a shit board who created such a shit club that they all saw their futures elsewhere, and the shit board was happy to take the money, look for replacements in the lower leagues and use the rest to either build a stand or keep the club solvent. Instead of showing ambition and trying to attract supporters and fill the ground and play in europe. However, I take your point, which is that more foreigners are playing in the top league now and so there are many more quality players than just the English ones. Scouting younger players is an admirable and worthy concept, I agree with you, of course I do, but spotting and developing these players is the difficult part. We have tried this approach but most of them either fail through not being good enough, not developing enough, or have the wrong attitude and not enough desire to succeed. I don't look on this as a failing of the club though, because this happens at most clubs. The Leeds side under Don Revie was successful and was built on a platform of young players who all came through together. The ManU side that won the European Cup in 1999 was the same. The Everton team who won the League, Cup Winners Cup and may have had a shout in the European Cup if not for the ban was also composed of a lot of youth players who come through together. I think that this is not the normal thing though, it is quite rare, and however good a scouting network you have, is probably almost lucky that all of this falls into place. We won the FA Youth Cup in 1985, and only Gazza came through and played at the top level. Joe Allon had the next half decent career but spent most of his career in the lower leagues. Brian Tinnion too. To be fair, Taylor is coming through, you mention Zoggy having been spotted and brought in, add [hopefully] Edgar to that list who most of us think has promise, Given who was brought in as a young keeper, and that is 4 players who could be first team regulars, and good quality ones, in a years time if Edgar steps up. Lastly, England performance in competitions lately has been better than in the past. After losing in Mexico in 1970 they didn't qualify for either the 1974 or the 1978 Finals. If anything, I would say the best England team in the last 20 years was the 1990 team with the 3 ex NUFC players all playing a major part in it. It was certainly the best run on paper ie reaching the Semi Final and with a bit of luck could have made the Final. Why don't you see it as a failure of the club. I don't know the stats but our inability in the recent past to develop young talent has been woeful. Oh and Shay was an established well nown keeper when we bought him
  7. I think he was blinded a bit by his hatred of all things British and Mr Churchill in particular. But hey it's not like I haven't been blinded by that kind of stuff in the past.
  8. I think you'll find I have dual citizenship and an Irish passport cuntface. That will be the legendary Irish charm then. Well I'm already well aware of your views of my country and the "tim cunts" in it so excuse me if I think you're a prick. Anyways I wasn't aware of any Nazi collusion with the Irish, any chance you could elaborate on what you've said? My politics Tutor Dr Jim Smith said there was stuff being released soon which threw questions on Ireland's behaviour towards the Nazi's. However it is a matter of record that Winston Churchill offered to give Northern Ireland up for re union with the south in return for access to Ireland's naval basis. Eamon Devilera (sp) the man in charge at the time refused the offer saying "why pay CHurchuill when Hitler will give it to me for free" Well forgive me for being sceptical until I see some supporting evidence. Yes I'll admit that Ireland could have done more to help the Jewish refugees but the same could be said for many western countries and is hardly an endorsement of Hitler's policies. And you can forgive the Irish for being unwilling to fight with the British given that they received no thanks for their help during WW1. They weren't asked to fight. Just provide naval basis. And nobody get's thanks from the british govt for fighting. They treat all of their soldiers like crap. I have always said if the IRA and affiliates had just targeted the politicians Ireland would have united years ago. And would have had the support of the mainland.
  9. Excuse me for being thick but is that the Scorcese film you are talking about? I never knew there was an original.

  12. Aside from winding up Ewerk I love Ireland. My Great grandma was from Cove in Cork. Never been to that side but we go to Dublin a lot. Hate the temple bar area but love the Brazen Head especially on a Sunday night.

  14. Funnily enough very quiet about their collusion with the Nazi's and the aid they gave fleeing SS and NSDAP party members. Also Ewerk you aren't Irish Tyrone is in the UK.
  15. Fair's fair they seem to be storming it at the moment. Hope a big club comes in for Keane before we have to play them next season.
  16. We did worse than that. We found out that one the lasses keys opened his bedroom door so while he was out we went in and mixed up his lovingly alphabetised/colour co-ordinated CD, video, book, socks, shirts and tie collections. He went fucking mental That is way better. I love that imaginitive way of f*cking with people.
  17. Celtic are exactly the same as Rangers. Completely ruining Scottish football.
  18. You're also one of the biggest tossers I've ever met. (A bloke I lived with as a student nurse. The most anally retentive, patronising fuckwit I've ever had the misfortune to meet.) Was he a bit chubby too? No because he used to meticulously weigh out every portion of food he ever ate on a set of scales and lecture the girls in the house about how overeating and drinking too much would make us put on weight and therefore become unattractive to men. He saw this as his duty. He was also a screaming bender As much as I abhor violence of all kinds and would never advocate it's use in any form . Sounds like he needed a kicking.
  19. The Bourne identity was made as a film way before True Lies. Richard Chamberlain and the real story too.
