Today must be Aussie Rock-fest day. Airbourne's album - Runnin' Wild. Lyrical genius is isn't, in fact it's not even original - think ACDC on Speed. Still good though

- yeah, they mentioned that on Rock Radio. Described as the lowest point in his career Never being a Neighbours (or any soaps) fan, that little historic gem passed me by. I can't quite bring myself to google it neither.

A band I've just discovered through listening to Rock Radio. It was Australia Day last week and so RR played a more Oz influenced playlist. They played a track by this band for the first time I think and it was on about 5/6 times over the course of the day. Rock n Roll Outlaw - Rose Tattoo. I liked it so I'm currently listening to their Greatest Hits. Lead singer has a class name - Angry Anderson - I hadn't realised this, but GnR covered their tracks a few times: once on Lies and again on The Spaghetti Incident.

I had that one, worst shave of my life. Aye, but you dont cut your tongue on it when singing in the shower.

I've never had an electric shaver that hasn't cut me up to bits whilst leaving the area around my adam's apple looking like a badger's arse. When you spend £100 or whatever on a shaver, you'd think they'd do the job. I went back to wet shaving with a Mach3 / Wilkenson sword protector and it was ok. When those new ones came out with batteries I thought - wtf? Marketing stunt/gimmick etc. I accidentally bought the wrong blades for my Wilkenson Sword a few months ago and after spending £10 on them I decided to go back and buy the razor to go with them - one of these (luckily it was on special too): Best razor I've ever owned. The little trimmer its great for neatening up sideburns etc and the single blade bit it good for edging and under your nose. Dont bother with an electric one now.

We've been poor since Christmas, but jesus - we cant even organise ourselves to beat 10 men? I'm no manager, but ffs - can we at least play the players we have in position? I really wish we'd stop playing Butt. As I've typed this, the match has ended. We.Are.Shite.

Listening on 5live xtra. Not the same as BBC Radio Newcastle. I wish they'd SFU talking shite between them and comment on the game.

Aye, keep up man

If Jonas isn't fit enough to start, then I'd have put Guthrie with SMith in the middle and put Lovenkrands on the left as he's played there before. Other than that, the rest of the team pretty much picks itself.

I've had a couple of beers whilst I'm working so I'm feeling more optimistic for a win. My usual optimism has only been soured by the injuries. Without them I'd have said a win. With them, I'm a little concerned that some of our replacements might not be up to the task - Kadar for example. Throwing a new boy who's just got off the bus (Van Arnholt) is risky - although it worked ok on Wed for Willy & Routledge. Fuck it, I'm rambling - a win. We have some pace and they aren't great. Fate will have it that Nobby will score/set up a goal via some sublime crossing; but we will win 1:2. Carroll to get a brace as we learn how to use the wings properly. Evidence to support latter statement = nil. Do I care? = Na EDIT: Just seen Butt is incentre midfield rather than Guthrie & Jonas isnt on from the start. My optimism has dropped (more than) slightly.

I recklon we've only paid a million for him. Isn't it 3mil including wages over the length of his contract? He's valued at 600k on FM. Actually, if we've paid a million, then that's supposedly £2mil in wages over 3 yrs. That's approx £34k/week. I cant see us paying that so maybe the £3mil is bollox. Either way, if we've bought him for £1mil then I think we've done well by all accounts. EDIT: I cant use a calculator. That's approx £14k/wk which makes sense I'm off home for some sleep

I recklon we've only paid a million for him. Isn't it 3mil including wages over the length of his contract?

Aside from how good/bad/indifferent he might be (I'm thinking/hoping the former); it's really nice to see NUFC doing a deal out of the spotlight without the usual procrastination. We need pace on the right wing and he will bring it. If he's cost us sod all and 3mil over 3years is hardly astronimical; then great. Even if he struggles in the Prem, if he helps us secure our return then he'll have paid for himself. We might be able to sell him on to another CCC club if he cant cut it. Feeling more positive now

How many times have we all said that

Aren't they the Iraqi version of 30 secs to Mars? Wasn't their last single a reworking of The Rolling Stones - Satisfaction: (I can't get no) WMD? IIRC it garnered some interest a few years ago but ultimately proved lacking in any substance

My concerns come from talking to a collegue whis is a Leeds season ticket holder and watches them home and away. Whilst he is their top scorer, he needs loads of chances per game to convert 1 / 2. Leeds create loads at the minute as the have the attacking players to do so. My concern is that we dont. Whilst I agree we need pace, I think we are more desparate for pace on the wings rather than a pacy forward who's conversion rate is around 1 in 8, 1 in 10. My collegue also feels he isn't good enough for the top level. I've never seen him play, so I can only go off whay I've been told by someone who has - lots. My other concern is that if we spunk 2mil on a forward, we wont spunk 2+mil on anyone else and we really need some pace & creativity in midfield. If I thought for a second we'd spend enough to buy both then I'd be a lot more positive about the Beckford option.

I'm struggling to think of who else we can play at RB other than Guthrie. Kadar needs to replace Saylor so he's out. What about Tozer? Can he play at RB? EDIT: didnt read .COCK's reply

Sorry, haven't been online since Wed. Anyway - its been changed. There was a 26 char limit, so I could do 'Geordie Lad@sd.cock' or my preferred 'GeordiePissflaps@sd.cock' (power mad yer knaa). As it happens, @sportsdirect.COCK works better as more of the name can be seen The more I think about it though, @sportsdirect.COCK is ironically funny and less of a punishment. So, what are the terms of .COCK's punishment? End of the season? If we say until Sale time we may have to put in a proviso of "until we are sold/start of next season. Whichever comes first". Part of me knows that if MA can find a way to cock up a summer sale he will.

If his crime had been more henious, we'd have had a winner I think a poll might be in order

As someone in this thread mentioned homeplugs, I used the 200mbps versions of these Netgear Home Plugs as I find that the wireless connection can be a bit slow sometimes when you're on XBL. It's probably partly down to the fact my Xbox spent most of it's life (until recently) in the conservatory at the other side of the house. Still - this is a canny price for the 85mbps versions. Incidentally, the 85mbps versions would be more than fine for XBL and streaming.

You soft shite. You were trying to be funny and the response is not unexpected. Armchair Pundit pulled a similar trick a while ago and in fun we changed his name to Armchair Penis until the sale saga was resolved. The difference is, he took it in the good humour it was done in. Gemmil might be onto something with his Geordie Ladyboy suggestion. Alternatively - Geordie Tart is a contender for me.

I put it to you all. Choose Geordie Knobhead's new name and it will be done. I'm flexible on the terms of his punishment too
