Troubling news but France has to stand strong against this. It'd send a very worrying message if this magazine isn't up and running again in a few days, and could potentially encourage further attacks.

I reckon we might get someone we don't need on the cheap for both appearances and possible resale.
-
I read the other day that it's proving to be surprisingly resilient as well, actually. I think the format suits a lot of people. Vines are apparently the big threat to it, rather than Sky.

I think the reality is that independence would have been economically difficult for Scotland. That said, the oil price issue is potentially only temporary (assuming that it is a gambit by the US to destabilise Russia). I don't think most Yes voters were ever all that convinced by the SNP's rhetoric in that respect, much of it was very unknowable. I'm not sure though, that this would mean independence would suddenly become undesirable. On the other hand, the romantic notion of 'independence irregardless' would be short lived once standards of living took a dive.

What exactly do you mean by 'inspected'? I'm picturing the use of a pair of tweasers and a stern, frowning expression.

I suppose part of the thinking is that Carver wants to avoid being on the receiving end of the heaviest league defeat in our history. He's an abject enough manager to be capable of that...

The look of disdain is what makes it so good

Pardew is apparently going in for Ricky Lambert. Actually think he'd be a good signing for Palace.
-
Have you considered unfriending him...?
-
I don't begrudge him that at all it's nice to have at least one pundit rooting for us, even if he's utterly rubbish. If it wasn't him it'd be some washed up ex-Liverpool star...

Moussa Sissoko signs for Spurs for like £30m or WatEVA
Rayvin replied to Park Life's topic in Newcastle Forum
I suppose they'll put De Jong in there and change the way we play again. Cue another 10 months of watching the team play like headless chickens until they master the system, before the vital component is sold and the process can repeat. -

Rayvin replied to Park Life's topic in Newcastle Forum
I reckon £15m - £12m would be letting him for for not much more than his actual value... I've seen £20m floated but that seems highly doubtful. -
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/jan/06/newcastle-united-remi-garde-foreign-manager It's Louise Taylor so, y'know, treat it with suspicion, but she has at least been reasonably clear on the fact that we're not going to give Carver the job, or even the chance to coach until the end of the season. Not sure who her sources are though.

Thanks - just getting ready to switch the 'preparing for the inevitable' to another player. -

Once Sissoko goes, who is our most valuable senior player? -

I'm not sure why PSG want him to be honest, it doesn't look like they really wanted Cabaye in the end.. just strength in depth I suppose. Can't imagine him being a regular first teamer there. -
That is awesome Also enjoyed the job ad link I always enjoy this thread.

That reaction is precisely why men, as a gender, always lose arguments with women.

I love how this list has been presented entirely without context

Advise your wife that it is never, under any circumstances, a good idea to go into business with people you know well. If you think she's pushy now, having only just started, surely it's only going to get worse as the difficult decisions come about. Who has final say? Do you have a right to veto? Is her colleague senior to her, junior or the same level? Finally, do you need this woman to be involved? If not, why not just go it alone; more profit that way.
-
Ah come on, it's not like Carver was ever going to win this. Until we have a new manager in, it's pointless to hope for anything. With any luck though, this is ensuring that Carver is replaced sooner rather than later.
-
In depends how you define stronger I guess. As a business entity I'd say yes. As a competitive entity, I'd say no. As a focal point for a fanbase and wider community, hell no. In terms of overall reputation? Probably also no.

I dunno, the league seems to be opening up... remember that Liverpool almost won the league last year. Arsenal certainly could do it. I think the influence of the financial clout of teams like City and Chelsea will diminish actually. Sure they can keep buying all the best players but look at Southampton. They had all their best players bought over the summer save for Schneiderlin, and it's not held them back at all. The elite clubs can't keep buying all of these players, they don't have space in their squads. Well built teams will eventually trump them, I think.
-
I love the Arsenal TV channel - they have old guys on occasionally who totally lose their shit. Saying that, Wenger has been there for bloody ages now, and I'm not hugely convinced he's ever going to win them the league again (and if Liverpool can do nearly do it, Arsenal certainly have it in them).

Gerrard apparently throwing the towel in after the season. Shame, could have done with seeing him continue to compromise LIverpool for a while longer.
