It does acknowledge that by saying it's the current management team. But yes, it's not altogether relevent. His point still stands though. I did see the current comment. The author is just trying to be clever by making that comment about us having former CB's in our management team. In fact, the whole article is just a journo trying to be clever - he probably got most of the information off NUFC message boards. If he had just mentioned the fact that it was only Rodders (indeed a former CB) who was in charge when Boumsong was sold then the comment would have had some relevance, but mentioning Pearson in the same sentence proves he was out to show all who would read it that he was such a clever, well-informed chap, tut-tuttting at NUFC's transfer dealings, when, in fact he is just a tit.

That's caus you're not invited, though! Didn't know anyone here, I think - they're far too ignorant/unintelligent/pungent to mix in my circles.

Come to think of it you could probably do with some as well, get in there grandad That makes me feel even less inclined to open it!! And less of the grandad, you young whippersnapper

Cyber men. Fucking terrifying.

Sorry Wacky, but I can't bring myself to open it to see what you're giving them

Fair point, they had a good partnership in the 4th test against the Aussies but it was the first in a while. I seem to recall an interview with Jones and Flintoff and they were describing canny fantastic scores whilst at the wicket together. But, if England are having to rely on a wicket keeper in order for the team to score enough runs, it is a bit of an indictment on the confidence in their batting line-up imo.

Heeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, baby, you're talking my language Yum yum

Maughans in Whitley. I do quite a lot of DIY and decorating, and if I need summat in a hurry they are closer than having to tootle up to B&Q.

Shepherd's going fuckin' loopy, apparently. He wanted to sack Rodders then pay Charlton mega-compo for another struggling manager a la Blackbum/Souness.

"And yet, even when Boumsong was offloaded to Juventus, no defender was signed, despite a current management team where featuring two former centre-backs in Glenn Roeder and Nigel Pearson." Erm, Pearson wasn't at the club when Boumwrong was sold and the transfer window was open Other than that, it just seems like a lazy article that says nothing new.

"Fat bastard Mavis"

You're forgiven. Obviously been reading too many of Gemmill's posts.

Yet another one on here who needs to 'come out'!

I was wondering about that too. Portly Freddie proudly announced (as he likes to do) on last season's review on DVD that something was wrong when NUFC players ran into each other - oddly enough at citeh again. BUT, on that occasion, it was three players, I believe, which makes everything okay this time as it was only two!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shambles.

There's a place for this type of thread. It's called N-O. tweet tweet

Quite simply, BRILLIANT!

Fcuk off and stop spoiling my argument

I now have shit in my eyes from reading that rumour.

BBC *spits* news, before MOTD, on a saturday night , persist with this 'If you don't want to know the scores, look away now' Does anyone, ANYONE, know anyone, ANYONE, who does not find out their favourite team's score before MOTD????????????? I cannot believe any true football supporter can wait until their team gets their slot on MOTD to find out the score. Why do they persist with this???? Rant over. Well, not completely.....

Just a follow up to the insurance thread the other day. We found out that insuring hips jnr for his car is astronomical. Mrs hips was told by some colleagues that it is cheaper if you do it on-line with her on the insurance as well (she has 6 years no-claims bonus). She is the main person on our car insurance. Sooo, she went to Tesco on-line, put all the details in and her quote was accepted which was £400-odd cheaper than using Quinn direct. She came and told me the news but had not gone ahead with completing the insurance until I had okayed it. I told her to phone Tesco and see what they say. She, in return, said 'Well, what if you don't say anything? They wont know, and he will have insurance.' I told her that insurance is dependent on full and utmost disclosure. She spoke to Tesco who told her that what she had been quoted on-line was not allowable, even though it had been accepted. The person who spoke to mrs hips said that if others had done this then their insurance was invalid. If you, or anyone you know, has done this, ask them just to check as the last thing we want is invalid insurances.

One thing that Flintoff and Fletcher will have considered regarding who to keep wicket is the partnerships record that Flintoff/Jones have. If I'm not mistaken, their scores together are pretty impressive (or were, anyway).

is this just a method you're using to slip in the fact you're going to Holland again? It is really good mind, although I'm not a massive fan of the Nikki character who features quite heavily. I'm thinking if he's gonna get bullied by any more 10-year olds when travelling?

As you say, neanderthal. Drink usually make these 'tough guys' even tougher. The question is, are charges going to be brought? It should be relatively easy to find this brain-dead chicken shit (I'll say it for you) CUNT.

Might be the same bloke I know. He's been 'touched' and walks round Whitley Bay / N.Shields. He once saw me and shouted across the road, "How did the court case go?" Still don't know how he knew about that That'll be him. They are his usual haunts... How did the court case go, btw? Got off on a technicality

At this point, I can only assume he intends to travel back in time to change history. Good to hear he's "mystified" by the situation, as he hasn't changed anything, and by the sounds of it will continue to change nothing. Jesus Wept! He has asked Freddy for a DeLorean which he intends to drive down Barrack Road at exactly 88 mph (once he works out how to use that pesky flux capacitor). Maybe if I get a DeLorean, fly back in time - around 56 years - and give his dad a bloody big hoof between the legs?
