I've got a copy of that somewhere. Is it not called Flagpole Sitta? 56524[/snapback] Seconded

Lighning Bold - Hypermagic Mountain Again. Mwwuuhahahahahahahahah. It' good like. I imagine that when god was getting really pissed off and frustrated and he sent a flood to wipe us out for being so shit, that didn't quite scratch him where he itched so he picked up his bass and tore the fuck out of it and they've just found the tape. Absoloutley glorious.

Anyone who says Angels isn't a great song is a cunt tbh. But then again so is Robbie Williams.

Film/moving picture show you most recently watched
Happy Face replied to Jimbo's topic in General Chat
I'm getting seriously worried about the number of classic films left for me to watch. Soon I'll have to rely on what's currently being released and I'll get very depressed. I crossed a few alleged classics off the list this week and there's a couple I'd agree should be labelled as such. Casablanca I Love Ingrid Bergman. She's brilliant in Spellbound and (moreso) Notorious, but in Casablanca she's just glorious. She gets dragged along without a say in anything looking down doefully like a prototype Princess Di and examining every corner of humphrey Bogarts face. I love her. It's strange that I believed that the Nazi's would gladly watch a French freedom fighter go about his business of escaping when they had every opportunity to capture/kill him but willful suspension of disbelief is a pre-requisite in enjoying the film. The Right Stuff Why wasn't I informed that this would be possibly one of the 10 greatest films I'd have ever seen? IMDB haven't even got it in the top 250! Expecting a heavy drama, I was knocked for 6 by the middle hour which was one of the funniest hours of non-comedy film I've seen. The fact that it's at the expense of the astronauts it's about doesn't at all diminish the emotional impact of the last hour though. The other 'classics' I watched that I wouldn't class as such were: The Great Dictator which was occasionally amusing but nowhere near the standards Chaplin set earlier with The Kid, The Circus, The Gold Rush etc. Red Beard which was brilliant but I've not seen a Kurosawa film that wasn't so I expected nothing less. Moby Dick The John Huston one with Gregory Peck. It was hammed up to the ying yang but still quite entertaining. One last film I saw this week which it's never been suggested is a classic was Palindromes. I'm a big fan of Todd Solondz and I really enjoyed this. I can see why other people might not like it but for me using 8 different actors/actresses for the lead role worked. The performances were perfectly pitched for each scene the selected actor was playing. It might have been distasteful to have an 8 year old want to be a mother (but surely most do) or to have a 14 year old act on that desire (which admittedly most don't), and it's definately in poor taste to portray paedophiles in a sympathetic light (as he also does in happiness), but he gives both sides of the abortion debate a good slagging off which I think they deserve and it was interesting to see him come out at the end and defend himself against his critics. -
Shuffle Songs... The Game - Hate It Or Love It Eels - Rags to Rags Goldie Lookin Chain - Thru Space and Time Velvet Revolver - Dirty Little Thing (sounds just like Aerosmith did in the 70's) Weezer - Holiday

But the swing is over £50 Billion, so we're talking more than 10%.

I just thought people might be bored of pictures of plastic sheep and fisherman and might enjoy a bit of interesting TV. Especially on this board where the Tories (well Thatcher at least) get such a bashing and most people on it live in the Labour heartland. I think it's pretty shocking that a chancellor that takes a £20bn budget surplus into a £30bn defecit without an improvement in public services is still generally regarded as prudent.

Whey course they are. Moreso than Tony Cunningham anyhow.

He's an ugly hunch-backed Welsh dwarf though. 53321[/snapback] Scored against the mackems, therefore legendary status is automatic. If I see him, the pints are on me. 53323[/snapback] *cough* Andy O'Brien *cough* 53332[/snapback] and nikos's heed was a GREAT bloke 53661[/snapback] I haven't got a clue what either of you are on about

I don't think he'll get us relegated, but another bottom half finish should be enough for him to get the boot so any time before the start of next season is fine by me. 53179[/snapback] We'll see! BTW I LOVE your avatar! Are the other films available? 53283[/snapback] *struggles to find a geek equivalent of * I've not seen the others like.

Agree the squad is generally better now but 12 months ago we had Souness and we still do so I can't say the club is better off. Robsons management of an average squad was better than Souness' management of a good one is. 53128[/snapback] So...what you mean is - we will not really be better off until Souness is binned ? 53154[/snapback] I know the idea is revolutionary and I hate to be the first to say it, but yes, I think Souness should be sacked

General public = shit taste Where did LCD Soundsystem come?

That's a really positive outlook, and I comend you on it but it's bordering on rose tinted. Rose tinted, not really as it's a statstical fact. And YES we struggled yesterday BUT we won. remember Fulham last season, gubbed em and lost, I remember playing Sheff Utd in the 70/80's (yes I AM old) and we absolutely played them off the park (lovely stuff) and got beat 3-0 (Thank you Tony Currie). I'll take the win 53091[/snapback] So we played shit and won, hurrah! Normally we play shit and lose. How are we better off? Edit: In the long term whole picture sense, rather than 3 points on the board for now.

That's a really positive outlook, and I comend you on it but it's bordering on rose tinted. Most teams in the league have games in hand on us. In the points per game league we're 11th and if you extrapolate everyone out to 12 games using the PPG we're 4 points off third. Pld Pts PPG PP12G Chelsea |11 | 31| 2.81 | 33.82 Wigan |11 | 25 | 2.27 | 27.27 Arsenal |11 | 20 | 1.82 | 21.82 Spurs | 11| |20 | 1.82 | 21.82 Bolton | 11 | 20 | 1.82 |21.82 Man Utd | 10 | 18 |1.8 |21.6 Man City | 12| 20 |1.67 |20 West Ham | 11 | 18 | 1.64 |19.64 Charlton | 12 | 19 | 1.58 |19 Liverpool | 10| 16 | 1.6 |19.2 Newcastle | 12 |18 |1.5 | 18 Blackburn | 12 |17 |1.42 | 17 M'boro | 11 |15 |1.36 | 16.36 Fulham | 12 | 12 |1 |12 Pompey | 12| 10 |0.83 |10 A Villa | 11 | 9 | 0.82 |9.81 Everton | 10| |7 |0.7| 8.4 WBA |12| 8 |0.67 |8 Brum | 12| 6| 0.5 | 6 Sund'land | 12| 5 |0.42 | 5 So things are twice as bad as you think. Edited to say: Or half as good, depending on your POV.

I would suggest that when you consider the fact we're 2 points of third (in an indifferent league) and what that £50 mill brought in we are definitely better off 53057[/snapback] I would suggest that you consider the level of performances we're churning out on the field of play. 53058[/snapback] As Al Davis would say "just win baby" or put another way ""Some of us will do our jobs well and some will not, but we will be judged by only one thing - the result." Vince Lombardi 53063[/snapback] Struggling against Birmingham at home with just about the preferred first team doesn't bode well for when the good teams like the mighty Wigan pay us a visit though.
