  1. heard some rumors from a reliable source today that Shola could be on his way to Ipswich. Just seen .com are reporting it too.
  2. Found this on the same page Sir Les auditioning for James Bond.
  3. a legendary video, well done Jonny.
  4. No great surprise that scum like that makes those kind of comments.
  5. When Jennifer Lowery was picked up on suspicion of drinking & driving--her second offense-she did what any normal citizen would do: She hid the keys to avoid prosecution. Only problem, she didn't hide them deep enough: Prosecutor Debra Jones said: "Officers approached her and asked whether she had driven the vehicle. She disputed that, but was intoxicated. "When asked to provide a road side test she became verbally abusive, using foul language." The court heard Lowery was warned that she would be arrested if she continued to swear in front of two young children. At the police station, she provided a sample which revealed that she had 188 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood – the legal limit is 80. "She was asked to produce the keys and disputes she had driven the vehicle and was searched," added Mrs Jones. ...she hid her car keys in an intimate place in a bid to convince police she had not been driving. The police were unable to find the 40 oz of whiskey that she was drinking from, but they have their suspicions where it might be.
  6. Typical, Barton finally finds some form just in time for him to do a stretch at her majesty's pleasure.
  7. Yup, barring the odd "wonder goal" it's his footballing brain and then finishing that's been behind his success not his pace (although that has clearly helped). I wouldn't have said he's lost that much pace between signing for Newcastle and now, or at least he probably lost a lot more between 18 and then. Defenders are probably quicker now than they were back then too.
  8. ASHLEY'S A LOSER EXCLUSIVE By JAMES WEATHERUP BILLIONAIRE Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has lost an astonishing £129million gambling on financial markets in the City. And that could spark fears Ashley, who bought the club last May, is on the brink of selling out at St James' Park. The tycoon (right) suffered the amazing losses after a series of poor bets on the value of crisis-hit Halifax Bank of Scotland stock. The mind-boggling losses were revealed after HBOS was at the centre of false rumours it was about to collapse and millions of pounds were wiped off its share price on Wednesday. Ashley, 44, has always pledged his long-term commitment to Newcastle but now Toon insiders believe he is weighing up a deal to sell. Newcastle fans will be stunned to hear about Ashley's giant loss. While it hardly leaves him on skid row, it won't help Newcastle's morale as they battle to haul themselves clear of the relegation zone. Despite Saturday's 2-0 win over Fulham in which Mark Viduka was on target, the club are still at the wrong end of the table. Gambled A City insider explained: "Mike should have got out a long time ago when the extent of mortgage debt in America was made clear last year. "It has effected all the markets and HBOS is just one of them. "When the stock was priced at £8.80, he gambled £300,000 a point for each penny rise or fall. If the price rose a penny he would get £300,000 but if it fell he would lose that amount." Ashley gambled on IG Index, a spread betting firm in the financial sector. The firm do not buy or sell shares, just take bets on whether the market is going to go up or down. And in Ashley's case his wagers have been nothing short of catastrophic. His win and loss accounts make nightmare reading. After the dramatic crash this week HBOS was at one point trading at £3.98 before making a recovery. But the shares had still lost nearly 50 per cent of their value since Ashley started gambling on their value going up in October. Despite a couple of £10m-plus wins in November last year he ended with a net loss of over £10m after the first month's trading. Blowing Between November and December 1 he lost about £14m and between December and January £20m. Ashley nearly steadied the ship between January and February, cutting his losses to £39m, but then he lost another £29m. After Wednesday's freefall of HBOS shares — 17 per cent (or £3billion) was wiped off their value in just 15 minutes — Ashley's total losses, including this month's trading so far, add up to a mind-blowing £129m.
