Jo was going to get that for when her nephews are around because it's supposed to grade the questions by your age but I heard that the game wants the kids to answer quite quickly and therefore mostly they run out of time - that true? It might be, it does ask for ages when setting up the game but all the players were of the same age group when I played, I guess you could set all the ages the same if that were the case.

He shouldn't be treated differently from any other soldier, if thats what he signed up for then he should face the same risks, but having him on the frontline makes him a target and that might cause more danger for those around him, and if he were to be killed it would be a huge morale boost for the enemy.

The ref didn't look like he was going to book him until he saw Eduardo was badly injured. Agreed, but surely that confirmed that he'd got the man and not the ball ? I'm not saying he didn't. But he gave the freekick straight away and the red card was an afterthought, or so it appeared anyway. It was the sort of tackle you see in loads of matches though which rarely gets a straight red and often doesn't even warrant a yellow in the eyes of the ref. You're right, I raised an eyebrow too when I saw him reach for the red card, my only thought is that when the ref saw the extent of the injury it confirmed it was dangerous conduct and got the man and not the ball, but otherwise I didn't think it looked a Particularly bad tackle.

I think Bobby not being adequately replaced was more harmful than his actual sacking.

Chris Hughton appointed Newcastle first team coach.
Jimbo replied to Jimbo's topic in Newcastle Forum
From .com: It's now been confirmed that Chris Hughton has joined the SJP coaching staff, with Kevin Keegan making it clear what his immediate role will be: “Defensively, we need some work on shape and I think Steve (Round) and him will be a really good force together on the training pitch. “That’s where we’ve got to work on things to get it right here. “He’s good with players and good around players. He’s got a good way with them. He’s an experienced player himself, so they know when he’s saying it, he’s been there and done it himself.” Hughton was assistant to Martin Jol at White Hart Lane until last October and as a player served Spurs between 1977 & 1990. The 49 year-old Londoner also played and coached at international level for the Republic Of Ireland. He follows a former Eire team mate into the role of defensive coach, with Keegan briefly employing Mark Lawrenson in a similar role the last time he managed here. -
Absolutely.... Shepherds famous "keeping our powder dry" line. I was gonna say Dalglish coming in, replacing Keegans attacking philosophy with a European style game and bringing in "experienced" players, but yours is probably a better call. for "keeping our powder dry" read: "We've got no fucking money left, I need to suck some cocks over at Northern Rock"

Hard to give names when the job is so big and we don't know what league we will be playing in next season, but I would say a whole new midfield, at least 2 new strikers and at least 3 defenders, oh and a new keeper while we are at it.
