What's this guy like? He was interviewed on talksport. His loan to Pompey is coming to an end and he's looking for somewhere else. He says he just wants to play football, 'appy 'arry the cheeky chappie has told him to go somewhere to get games. When the guy on the radio asked 'what about big clubs potentially coming into the Prem (the other dude then said Newcastle)' O'Hara described us as a 'massive, massive club' and didn't rule us out. Thoughts?

A colleague of mine carries his netbook in his hand luggage all the time when flying without problem.

no he handed in his transfer request ages ago. Leeds United can confirm that Jermaine Beckford has handed in a transfer request. The transfer request was handed in on December 30. "By handing in a transfer request it clearly indicates that the player wants to leave Leeds United. "However, that will only be allowed to happen in the event that it is decided to be in the best interests of Leeds United. "The best interests of Leeds United involve receiving both an acceptable transfer fee and securing a suitable replacement to ensure his departure does not have an adverse effect on the club's overall aim of securing promotion back to the Coca-Cola Championship." Ah, ok. Cheers for that.

Handing in a transfer request waives the right to 10% of the transfer fee = £150k. This act could well have been 'asked' by Leeds in a way for them to accept NUFC's offer and to get as much dosh as possible, not to mention letting them accept a bid and blame it all on the player 'He wanted to go. Don't want unhappy players at the club. Only want players who want to play for the football club ( )etc etc'. This could indicate a deal being done this week. Not necessarily to NUFC, btw.

No. Noelie and Rob W will remember the winter of 1947. Rob will no doubt remember a worse one about 1880, though

You let Mrs Hips read what you post here? Hope you've been doing some editting Snakey Narr, just posts about babies (she loves them, and they love her) - especially when there are pics as well.

Is that an NUFC badge he's wearing?

Aye, stay in bed on the lee side of bum island

iirc (it's been quite a while since I did my met), the five air flows that affect UK are: Arctic (straight down from north pole) Polar Maritime (basically NW'ly wind) Polar Continental (basically ENE'ly winds) Tropical Maritime (WSW'ly winds) Tropical Continental (largely SE'ly winds) Looking at the weather last night, we have what's called a 'Blocking High' over UK at the moment, which the wind rotates clockwise around (apart from a slight deflection called the Angle of Indraft iirc). This 'blocking High' is bringing in Polar Continental wind from Russia/Siberia way. I think I'm right in all that. As I say, it's been a fairly long time since I studied it. Yours, Snakehips Kettley

Pud, mrs hips (who just LOVES babies) is loving this thread, and had tears in her eyes reading the last post. Fingers crossed all the babies there will be healthy, wealthy and wise.

Beckford Shmeckford. Yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn.

Someone on N-O put up... "Geremi has NOT signed for Ankaragucu!" :icon_lol: Great minds!

......wig wam ???? Each to their own

Wouldn't this just be typical Newcastle United Football Club! Their player goes off, to what they believe, to link up with his national side - only for him to tootle off elsewhere to sign for another club. You couldn't make this shit up :rolleyes: :lol: What we need is for that Dekka moc up of him in that Badhdad pic with 'Geremi is in Africa right now' underneath.

That 'Shard' building in London looks shite. imo.

They're toying with my emotions. Let him go. Please.

Great news, Pud. Many congratulations to you and your lass.

Rather than the winning header being 'Hartson-esque', as ITV called it, surely it was just a good header (he did well to get to it) combined with some help from the defender's nut as well ?? Or have my eyes failed me again? ps. good to see Hartson back, looking mighty fit

I cannit read textspeak. I take it he's gone for good ????

Where 'dad' got the job? These American/Spanish adverts are really badly dubbed.

Sending off and they're at it again. I'm happy to report the chant is "you Hearts bastard". Great game, great atmosphere.

Yeah, that one too.

She does nowt for me, tbh. I've seen you. Can't blame her for doing nowt for you really.

Great finish by the young lad Smith to put Hearts up in the Edinburgh derby. I'm a bit concerned by the reaction to a few thousand Hibs fans following Hearts' Nade 'going in' on the Hibs 'keeper. If it wasn't "You black b*****d", it certainly sounded like it. I hope I'm wrong. Anyone else see/hear it?

She does nowt for me, tbh.
