  1. I've only been here 5 years (coolgen developer), but they sent me a list of all the gifts I'm due on my anniversaries. This year it's a plate.... or a weather station 131029[/snapback] I didnt get anything for my 5 years in Feb. Shame. Get out while you still can Mr Happy
  2. this'll tell you what codec it is... if you have VLC media player http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html Open the file in VLC. Pause the movie if you like. Open the Info window (Cmd-I). There should be listed ‘Stream 0′ and ‘Stream 1′ with little triangles. Press the triangles to get more detailed information.
  3. not a search engine but more filth than ten Jimbos could handle www.puretna.com
  4. not sure if it works with Macs, though theres probably an equivalent, but if you download GSpot it'll tell you exactly what codec you need
  5. I thought Nightwatch was OK. Didnt really live up to the hype. Great concept though Lucky Number Slevin - Excellent Stealth - Meh, though was only expecting meh. So as good as I expected Election - Not the Mathew Broderick/Reese Witherspoon one but a hong kong flick about the election of a a new triad gang leader. Superb
  6. Forget whats best for the club yet again lets do whats best for Alan Shearer. Maybe we shoudd just change our name to Alan Shearer FC too.
  7. fuckin hell, give it a rest man. You've never had an opinion on something that was wrong like Gol?
  8. If theres any truth in that its a disgrace. I thought we could finally start moving on, guess I was wrong
  9. and for the most part the fans of those clubs dont have a good word to say about him. Hugely disappointed if true. He's been lucky with the fixture list and the fact Souness was so inept. A bigger asset to the club long term as head of the academy

  11. I dunno man. I think the ball should only be put out if you feel a player needs treatment. One of them slid into the other, nothing serious at all. You can go too far with it and we've already seen some players taking advantage of it and staying down when theres nothing wrong with them.
  12. at no point in time was it suggested we didnt have the cash. We offered 7 for Anelka and 4.5 for Boa Morte iirc. Those players werent bought because Shepherd deicided he wasnt going to meet the asking price, right or wrong its not the point. If it was case of not having the cash why didnt we go back for Boa Morte when we decided not to go ahead with Anelka or vice versa? The point is he does have a role to play when it comes to signing players.
  13. streamed over my wireless network from pc to my xbox can you hook the laptop up to your TV? you need a cinema room like Gemmill, all the OG's have one
  14. porn Gemmill. Its what the internets for, well ..that and bitching
  15. ha ha You couldnt make this up. Take your own advice Leazes "You STILL miss the point and are making things up, and not reading posts, or both." Shepherd decided 6.5 mill was too much for Boa Morte. Shepherd decided not to match the asking price for Anelka. The decision to not buy these players that the manager wanted were not Souness they were Shepherds! Get it! He made a judgement on what he was prepared to pay for these players illustrating what central role he plays in signing players. Its his judgement that decided Luque for 9 mill was better value than Boa Morte for 6.5, do you think this was a mistake? so again back to my original question.. Why did it make more financial sense to sack Souness in February and not the previous Summer? We didnt have the 5 mill in the Summer? Surely then considering you wanted Souness out from day one the failure to get rid of him in the summer was a mistake!! All Ive ever said is Shepherd made a mistake in not sacking him earlier. Seeing as I have to spell it out, earlier doesnt mean January or December , it means the previous summer. You gave the likes of Gol and alex grief all the time for haveing the view that you've now decided to jump on. That Souness was crap but it was unrealistic to get ris at that time, for whatever reasons. I have an opinion on what a players worth is. So does Shepherd, thats why he wouldnt sign Boa Morte for the asking price. Dyers name is mentioned alongside Man U, Shephred offers him 65K a week. Souness says we need to build the team around him, he gets 80K. Its the chairman who negotiates the contract. If I feel a certain player is worth x , the chairman doesnt offer him that and then the player leaves yes I'll criticise him for it. Its my right, just like what happened with Bernard. If I have a problem with a waste of space like Dyer being 80K a week like you do then I'll criticise him for that. Whats the problem? What I wont do is have a problem with something like you do and try place the blame on someone else so good old freddy remains spotless I appreciate fully what position we are in comapred to 15 years ago, but thats down to SJH not Shepherd. We are in a worse of position in that respect than were we where when Shepherd took over. How come we only ended up with Souness last time? The point thats lost on you is that it wasnt Shepherd who got is into this postion, he's took over it and damn nearly screwed it all up. Its lost on you that regardless of the arguement about ambition this club needs a certain level of success in order to fulfill its primary goal to Hall and Shepherd, which is to make them money! thanks for ignoring my view on your meaningless stats by the way I havent seen anyone just label Shepherd as shite or a failure. If you have a problem with specifics. Shepherd signed Luque for instance, argue tht specific rather than some imaginary extreme overall view of Shepherd that no one gave. You've done it in this thread! There you go again assigning the previous successes of this club to Shepherd. This club is in the postion to sign these players, attract 52000 people not because of Shepherd. Should we give him credit for not screwing it up even though he came close? why? because prospective chairmen walk round like politicians telling us all who they are what they stand for, what they're going to do? yet again Leazes in the real world we wont win the League, it wont stop me wanting it. Just like it wont stop me wanting a better, more professional chairman Anyway thats it for me, like others have said its all long winded and pointless. If you want discuss specifics about him then please do. Stop continuously bringing up this imaginary "Shepherd is complete shit" view to argue because as everyone keeps saying no one thinks that
  16. So Shepherd did make a mistake in not getting rid of Souness earlier then. Regardless of when you guess he'd made his mind up we can both be in agreement that it should have been done before, thanks. So Shepherd has nothing to do with transfer fees? Hes the one who negotites them Leazes not the manager. He'll take the managers advice along with other peoples but its his responsibility. He's the one who decided that 6.5 mill for Boa Morte was too much and 9 mill for Luque was a fair price. Souness will have said I want Boa Morte, its then the chairman who'll negotiate what he feels is a fair price , not the manager! Shepherd is also the one who'll negotiate players contracts. He's the one who sat down with Dyers agent and decided 80K a week was a fair contract, not Souness! Souness will have no doubt said he's an important first team player, we need to keep him etc but the actual negotiation of the contract is down to Shepherd. He obviously backs his managers but why are we continuously taken for a ride, because Shepherds a shit negotiator perhaps? Ive never said Luque was a Shepherd signing. Again you're assigning someone elses view onto me just for the sake of arguing. Theres just no logic in the decsion to turn down the chance to sign two players for a combined 15 mill yet a few weeks later sign two comaprable players for a combined 25 mill. Just a bad business decision. Especailly when that money could have been put to better use elsewhere. He has to take criticism for when hes sacked managers. To say otherwise is idiotic. It doesnt matter if the next manager is a Robson or a Gullit, a success or a failure. It would be better to put the new manager in place before the season starts and with the transfer budget at his disposal. No matter how Robson did the timing off his appointment was bad. Not one of the sackings was because of the results at the beginning of the season, not one. To make that mistake once is a mistake, to keep repeating it? The stats you keep posting are combined points in a season, it doesnt makes us fifth most succesful does it. Shepherds league finishes as (full seasons) chairman are ,apart from 3 years under Robson, mediocre to poor. Also when repeating that figure you keep mentioning cups and europe whereas that 5th best figure is purely combined league points. Its also combined since pemiership began so also includes those under Halls reign where on average we have done a lot lot better. The revenue of this club and the ability to pay large transfer fees was in place before Shepherd. Continuing this is not some great achievement. Football and business is about planning. The teams who do not have any plan and are only ever focused on the short term are the ones who continuously fail, sound like anyone? I'll give you a bone, back to my original question of what has Shepherd done that has moved the club from the postion it was in when he took over? The Academy! Shepherd can take credit for that, and you know what its a sign of long term planning too. Congratulations on missing the point about winning the league Leazes, I thought it was simple enough, guess not Like I've said before. No one who you argue against has ever just said Shepherds shit or a failure, but for some reason your keep assigning this extreme viewpoint on people to argue against. What people do is recognise his failings and mistakes. For some reason only known to yourself you feel the need to jump inwith the same old crap. You cant recognise that he's made a mistake EVER. Even when not to do so goes against everything you've ever said you still wont say it. I dont have to name someone better, some mysterious benefactor to be able to point out where he's fucked up. Why should I? I want a better chairman than Shepherd. It might be unrealistic, especailly seeing as he's the major shareholder but doesnt stop me wanting it. Just like winning the league. Like Ive sad many times before maybe its better to have someone in DOF role. Let Shepherd focus completely on the business side where no doubt he has a lot to offer.
  17. How convenient. It was only yesterday Leazes, and I only repeated them a few times, only to see you fail to answer a single one but yet somehow argue against a view I never gave. Strange that I dont owe you an answer on anything. The only thing I said about Shepherd for as long as I can remember is he made a mistake in not getting rid of Souness earlier. You , after everything you've said for the past year and all the shit you've continously thrown back in peoples faces, take offense to that and say I dont understand the financial implications and try and lay some pathetic Champ man insult on me. So yet again I'll ask the question... Why did it make more financial sense to get rid of Souness in February and not in the previous Summer? If it didnt make financial sense will you admit that Shepherd made a mistake in not sacking Souness before February? You've stated many times how you see it, but its far from factual. You keep assigning achievements of his predecessor to him for a start. If I dont like it stop going to games, what sort of shite is that? Did you stop going to games pre SJH because you werent happy? The club is mismanaged Leazes. We spend millions because we have millions. Are you going to tell me we dont waste millions though Leazes? Is Shepherd in part not responsible? Could you spend it better? You cant just simply say everythings great compared to our rivals because we spend a fortune. How does our turnover compare to those clubs (again in place before FS took over)? How does the value on that expenditure compare to those clubs? The shareholders do very well out of NUFC should we clebrate the fact that they dont keep more money back, and dont take out more millions than they do? Dont do FS a disservice, he knows exactly what he's doing, he's a businessman afterall. Lets be thankfull they're just greedy twats rather than really greedy twats. Another easy question for you.. Did Shepherd make a mistake in refusing to pay the stated combined price of 15.5 million for Anelka and Boa Morte but yet spend the combined fee of 26 million for Owen and Luque? In your opinion was this money spent wisely? Theres no point in celebrating the fact we can spend millions, we've been doing that longer than Shepherd was chairman. Just spending millions wont get us anywhere. I dont think we've got a realistic chance of ever winning the league, doesnt stop me wanting it? How about you Leazes? Do you want us to win the League? Cant I want a better chairman too? One that isnt a public embarassement, one that has a longterm plan, one that doesnt make snap reactionary decisions, one that doesnt keep repeating the same mistakes, one that isnt interested, first and foremost, in using the club as a pension fund for him, his mates and his family. Surely I can want that cant I?
  18. *shakes head* You stupid stupid stupid.... Congratulations dude
  19. Leazes, can I have some answers to my questions please? You've lost all credibility tbh. The fact you gave the likes of Gemmill so much grief for supporting Souness for so long yet you still wont criticise Shepherd for not getting rid of him sooner. . You keep repeating the words 'financial implications' but wont expand or give any substance to your point, why did it make more sense financially to get rid in February and not in the Summer?. You dismissed anything printed about Bellamy as a club smear campaign but still refuse to acknowledge that Shepherd was the one behind it. . You criticise some of the contracts and players we've signed for huge transfer fees but point blank refuse to accept Shepherds prominent role in them. I've yet to see anyone one with the extreme viewpoint you keep assigning to them. I suppose it makes it easier to argue against. What people have done is point out where he's gone wrong and what mistakes he's made. YOU refuse to even see that he's made them. If you were to say that for all his faults and all his mistakes you still think the positives outweigh the negatives pretty much everyone would acknowledge that view and debate it. You dont do that though , you refuse to acknowledge that the man makes any mistakes.
  20. answer MY questions Leazes!
