I think I'm destined for that this year (July) - the option is to wait a year so that the promotion does = pay rise but I think I'll get the word "manager" on my CV ASAP and see what happens. Well done Fish BTW.

Can't watch it but the last one of these I saw examined which said "takeover" in 50 years got the maths wrong by a factor of 10 - ie 500 years if nowt changed.

My bathroom was out of commission for about 6 weeks in January/February - I had the anarchic idea of using the gym/swimming pool shower.

I was happy with the Keegan we got last year - I thought he was older, wiser and more realistic but the passion still burned. I think just 3 years with Shearer coming on board later with a view to replacement would have worked. I caught some eps of ST Voyager (Soz) yesterday which were all time travel based - they all involved setting the timeline back to an improved version - I'm not sure they got all the paradoexes right but I'd love to wake up next Monday with KK still here and looking at Europe next year rather than fucking Barnsley.

The bit about Keith Barratt is spot on as well - another thing I hate that cunt LLO on NO for is his backing of the banning order - clueless piece of shit that he is.

What really pissed me off about the Llambias interview was when he said that Keegan's "sack the numpties" demand had no chance of happening yet 9 months on it was a nothing decision (either pre-planned or asked for by Shearer) to get rid of the dwarf.

I got pissed off with the notion that just beacuse we are going down, its somehow a crime against humanity to say "We told you so". I have no such qualms.

The West Wing is indeed fantastic. My favourite current serious show is House. I also watched the first episode of Curb your Enthusiasm yesterday and will certainly be watching more.

Some good away trips which as I said before I'll be making more of - depending on the timing I'd agree with Plymouth as a 0 if its in the depths of Winter but it was an excellent day out when we went ther in late April/May in 1990. Of course I realise its a pisser of an actual trip for those in the NE but surely a chance for a weekend. New grounds for me: Leicester, Doncaster, Blackool, Cardiff, Swansea, Millwall, Coventry.

Don't know whether its been mentioned but Shearer was spot on in his interview - the goal was disallowed because the refs will have had Nolan's actions for Taylor's goal highlighted in their weekly briefing. Funny how that briefing never includes what Liverpool do at corners or how much Man Cunt/Chelsea players dive and whinge. Gutless cowardly shitbags the lot of them. (Winding up the bitterness for next week).

I actually think Hull won't win - Man U have enough fringe players trying to make a name for themselves to care - I also think we will lose at Villa.

He was there - you must have missed him.

And your daughter picks her nose and eats the snot when she doesn't know theres a camera on her.

Webb is a another star wannabe imo - like Fucking Poll - if what Nolan did was a foul then EVERY corner ever should result in a free kick or a pen and no goal can ever be scored from one. That doesn't excuse how shit the rest of them were like - as I said the opponents for the two wins this year are no coincidence. Special mention for Guttierez - surely there a huge case for fucking him back off to Mallorca and keeping the money?

Nightmare - all the streams are showing the man cunt presentation.

I keep thinking if we win on Saturday and Hull lose we are safe (barring GD disaster) but we've had too many weekends with the results going our way already - I'm still worried.

One of out traders got back from a holiday in Mexico last Monday and despite him being fine, the boss sent him home. He was back yesterday so I guess armageddon is postponed.

At a push Beye, Bassong and Vidkuka on a pay per game basis. I couldn't give a shit about any of the rest.

I started a training course today (in London) and the lad next to me is a Boro fan - the trainer even commiserated with him (Stoke fan) when he introduced himself - this was before the poor twat found out I was a toon fan. We later agreed it would be best for the universe if the Mackems go down.

I know its a cliche but I think the confidence will do them absolute wonders - I now thnk we may beat Fulham. Of course its no coincidence our only wins this year have been against the teams below us but there were plenty good signs tonight - Viduka being the standout. I'd be tempted to play the same team on Saturday maybe with Lovenkrands instead of Guttierez. This hope thing feels wrong.

It's got no problem with very strong langiuage - I know that much - going as far as the C word.

I've seen a few clips which I liked but have never seen a full episode - its in my list of "shows I must get around to" which I'm ashamed to say also includes The Sopranos.

I think I mentioned after the West Ham game in September that I was very worried about what Cole did to him - I think that fear has been realised against other "strong" strikers.

That's my view which means there may be hope - I honestly think he looked decent early on but has lost form and now looks less suited to the English game than he did at the start of the season. Maybe the "decent but not suited" does apply - I think the same of Boumsong.

Yep- his wife had an affair with a student and the funny thing was she'd just ended the affair and the BJ was a "last fling". One of his kids also died. John Irving is probably the only "high brow" author I like.
