    For about 100 bucks you can upgrade the box yourself to a 250Gb machine - Clicky I did that with my system, only takes about 10 mins to do, took my system from having 20hrs recording time to 125hrs Got my bits from here: http://www.xtendedplay.co.uk/skyskyhd-driv...es-ct-3_20.html

  7. Sense prevails ! Peter Jackson, Oscar-winning director of the Lord of the Rings movies, has signed a deal to produce two films based on JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit. The filmmaker had been in dispute with New Line Cinema over income generated by the first film in the Rings trilogy. "I'm very pleased that we've been able to put our differences behind us," said Jackson. "We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth." A director for the films - prequels to the Rings movies - has yet to be named. The two Hobbit films will be filmed simultaneously, with their release planned for 2010 and 2011. 'New chapter' Sir Ian McKellen has already expressed an interest in reprising his role as the wizard Gandalf. In a statement, Jackson said the agreement enabled his Wingnut Films company to "begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line". The three films in the Rings trilogy generated $3bn (£1.48bn) at the worldwide box office and won 17 Oscars. New Line co-chairman Bob Shaye had previously said Jackson would never make The Hobbit "during my watch".

  10. To come: Chelsea x2 Man U x2 Liverpool away Arsenal away Pompey away Villa away Everton away Spurs (false position) away. Blackburn and Man City only teams above us played away. I'd say that was skewed list of fixtures compared with whats gone. Those are our future fixtures, we can only judge the past ones which haven't really been "easy". And in which we've performed better than last year. Judging by the performances so far I expect about 6 points from those games if we're lucky. We'd better not start losing against garbage at home. The same as we took from them last year then. You're hardly winning us over ! He expects us to do as well as we did last year against teams that are better than us, I expect us to get more than 6 points from those games. Either way we wouldn't have gone backwards. I think with the improvements in players, so called improvement in manager, and the undoubted improvement in back room staff, I would expect some signs of improvement, at least in performance if not result, but all I see is a worsening in performance, which I'm sure will be soon evident in our attendance figures.

  13. To add to the list of moody French players we've had at the club.......
  14. Meelan are going to retire the number 3 shirt until his son Christian makes the team.
  15. I think Defoe is underated too, just don't honestly think he'd be that prolific, but at least he'd play 10 games in a row which is more than can be said for Owen.
  16. I don't think Gullit was the only manager who fell foul of Shearer's influence over the club, I'm no fan of Gullit but I don't totally disagree with him when it comes to Shearer.
  17. Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce has given up hope of landing Manchester United ace Wes Brown on loan next month. The Magpies tactician had targeted the England international after the long-serving Red Devils ace rejected the chance to sign a new contract. However, Allardyce believes with worries over Gary Neville's long-term fitness, Ferguson will not be prepared to let Brown depart in the New Year. The former Bolton manager is desperate to plug The Magpies' leaky defence, although they did keep a clean sheet in their last-gasp 1-0 win over Fulham. "Wes Brown is not going to be available in January," he told The People. "He may leave at the end of the season. "The speculation comes round because he supposedly turned a contract down, but I can't see Sir Alex letting him leave with Gary Neville being injured."
  18. I'll be honest, if you'd have offered me the position we are in before the start of the season, I'd have taken it ! But given the manner of our "performances", and the utter avoidablility of our poor results this season coupled with the sad fact that I don't actually enjoy watching us play at the moment, I don't believe Allardyce is the man for us, I don't believe that becoming Bolton is the way forward for Newcastle United.
  19. How's he being a twat? Just by playing Zoggy at left back? Playing 4-3-3 when the players at his disposal don't suit it. Geremi (no further explanation required) Alan Smith, more bookings than attempts on goal. Playing Butt when not fit. Playing Faye when not fit. Substituting creative players when chasing a result. Playing Martins out of position. Playing Milner out of position. Thats without the fact we are looking absolute shite and not learning and responding to the causes of it.
  20. Clearly your tolerance for mediocrity is a lot higher than mine
  21. That's from the Allardyce "give me 5 years" sch0ol of bullshit. We have players who cannot pass to a team mate 10 yards away. Players who cannot control the odd ball that does reach them. Players who look like they will never score. Its hardly surprising the football is absolutely diabolical. Fulham were abysmal. But for one moment of quality from Viduka we would have drawn with them to go with our points off Sunderland and Boro and our defeats to Derby and Reading. Can you explain how a team that was "average" last year, bordering on poor but occasionally played a bit of football can actually have gone backwards? I can - selection, tactics and coaching. Can you explain how a team who were as shit as Man City can now be an attractive team (admittedly only at home) - I can - selection, tactics and coaching. I remember a few ugly wins under Keegan, Dalglish and even Bobby - I loved them - none were anywhere near as depressing and worrying as that debacle last night. I'm nailing my colours the Jimbo et als' mast - wrong man for us. Also on being fickle I'm going to sound like LM here but I don't care - I've watched NUFC when we've been properly shit - there was an excuse then - there isn't now - thats the fucking difference. Spot on, and yes Fulham were abysmal, and so were we, I'm delighted we won, winning away, especially in London is not something to take lightly for us and I'll take the result with both hands, but the main frustration for me is that we could have won far more convincingly and with a bit of flair, and the reason we didn't is purely down to team selection, square pegs in round holes, players playing in a formation to which they are not suited. The last two matches we have been extremely fortunate to have won but those wins have masked the fact that we have looked terrible, we have become a team that when we lose we capitulate and when we win we look awful and that’s not what I want Newcastle United to become, of course I'll take winning ugly over not winning at all, but the potential of the team is far better than that. As for not questioning Allardyce because he's a manager and we aren't, did you offer Souness and Roeder the same grace ? of course not, for me this is like the fable of the Emperor’s new clothes, too many folk are ignoring the stark facts whilst a few brave souls are willing to say what they see. If seeing Newcastle United turn into Bolton is what you want, then fine but that’s not what I want. I still firmly believe that Allardyce is the wrong man for this club and both players and fans alike are the ones that will suffer during his tenure at the club, witnessing dross like Geremi and Smith continue to command places in the team ahead of others that are clearly better, playing negative tactics that will only consolidate our position as lower table pap rather than pushing us forward. Time is crucial for the right manager to get things right, but time is also the conduit for a shite manager to take as backwards as it has been shown by his predecessors. Feel free to bump my posts when Allardyce has driven us into the upper echelons of the Premier league and established us a part of the "big 4 or 5" but I fear that it will either be a very long wait or not happen at all.
  22. You couldn't argue too much if there was a better player playing in the middle, but Alan Smith ? give me strength, he offers about as much threat infront of goal as a dead sheep.

    fair comment, try here instead. http://www.boobpedia.com
  24. He was meant to play on the right but kept creeping across to the middle.
  25. I hope the same sorry end becomes to the twat that keeps playing him on the right and Smith in the middle.
