  1. Aye keep him away, all those tropy thingies would look totally out of place at NUFC. Makes no difference to me. We could win the treble under him and I would still revoke my support if he was the representative of the club. Bollocks... And you know me from where? A mental institution would be my guess.

  3. Funnily enough my German mate said he read something in one of the German rags about Mourinho coming to us.. From what I hear, Jose is still reading the dosier......
  4. The Commitments Mildly amusing, instantly forgetable oirish tat.
  5. You think Souness and Roeder use it ? Got any evidence they don't? Roeder gave Dyer the armband for motivational reasons. And thank fuck he did, otherwise we might have lost.........

  7. Those white gloves and the silver tray are going to make him stick out like a sore thumb to insurgent snipers.
  8. I'd like to ram those comments up his fat arse.
  9. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/6619983.stm Sudan's famous goat 'wife' dies The best-known goat in Sudan has died months after being "married" to a man in the South Sudan capital, Juba, the BBC has learned. Local elders ordered a man found having sex with the goat, later called Rose, to "marry" her last February. "The idea was to publicly embarrass the man," says Tom Rhodes, editor of the Juba Post, which first ran the story. The BBC's story of the "wedding" caught the public imagination and became one of the best read internet stories. Rose, black and white, is believed to have died after choking on a plastic bag she swallowed as she was eating scraps on the streets of Juba. 'Sense of humour' After the marriage, Rose had a male kid - but "not a human one" - Mr Rhodes said, hastily. The "husband", Charles Tombe, said he was drunk at the time but has since refused to comment on the issue. The kid is owned by Mr Tombe. Wow - what have we done? We have triggered a monster Tom Rhodes Juba Post More than a year after the BBC story was first published, it is still picked up by various web forums and being emailed across the world. Recently it got more than 100,000 page views for five successive days. Over time, it has received several million hits - making it historically one of the biggest-hitting stories the BBC News website has published. A Google search uncovers more than 1m different web pages, based on the same story. Mr Rhodes, a Briton who helped found the Juba Post in 2004, was shocked when he learned how many people around the world had read the story his newspaper had originally published as a short, light-hearted account and not even bothered to publish on its website. He said that he had seen that it occasionally returned in the BBC's "Most read stories" and was worried that he would have trouble with South Sudanese, accusing his paper of tarnishing the image of the region - now trying to rebuild after 21 years of war. But he says he has not come across any such anger. "It doesn't portray Sudan in a bad light - it shows the Sudanese have a sense of humour," he says, referring to the elders' original punishment. He has, however, had people come up and say to him: "Oh, you're the goat man." Mr Rhodes explains that South Sudan remains a conservative society. If a man is caught sleeping with a girl, he is ordered to marry her immediately in order to save her honour and that of her family, he says. This was the basis for Mr Tombe's punishment, after the goat's owner found him with his animal and complained to local elders. They ordered him to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50, at the time) and also named the goat Rose. Afterwards, he left with the goat, not quite hand-in-hand, more hand-in-hoof, to his home in the Hai Malakal suburb of Juba - and not in Upper Nile State as we originally reported.
  10. Have you been playing Football Manager 2007 again ?
  11. I don't blame you for waiting, but it looks far better with a name and number.
  12. Did you go for a name and number Craig ?
  13. There's a Beadle quality to him.
  14. If West Ham are eventually relegated a points deduction would be a facile punishment, I think it needed to be a financial punishment, and compared with most other finacial punishments, it was massive.
  15. I don't agree with abortion, but this case is tragic for all concerned
  16. In its defense, the quality of it is FAR better than the last one, the previous one feels like a fake shirt in comparison.

    Kind of a Matalan version of Neo tbh.
  19. Good point, hell knows we could do with some value for money from the chump.
  20. With Given rated 50-50 at best for Saturday, is it time to play Krul instead of Harper ? Harper's loyalty to the club is commendable, but is he as good as some think ? Is Krul ready for blooding in the Premiership or would it harm the lad ?
