Time and time gain we are exposed for what we are against the top teams - mediocre at best. Even under the so-called glory days under Robson we could never really compete with the best teams, you have to go back 10 years before we could. It's fucking depressing considering the fortunes we have spent, and whilst I don't want to start another tedious Shepherd argument, how can anyone but those at the top be held resposnible for our predicament? We just have to accept we will always be an also-ran club, pretty depressing considering our phenomenal support. As far as the referee went, so what? He was inconsistent, made some bad decisions, but he made no impact on the result of the game. The truth is we were completely outplayed and could have lost by more. I said a few weeks ago we shouldn't get carried away by Roeder's apparent revival until we played the big 3. Well, it looks like we have got our answer and I'm gutted.

Yeah I would rather have him in the team. Don't like the bloke and I think he was very stupid in his behaviour that led to him leaving the club, but he's better than what we've got. 108107[/snapback] So are you admitting Souness was wrong to bin him then? 108117[/snapback] I'm not getting into the Bellamy/Souness, who was to blame thing again because no one agrees on it - I'm sure you wouldn't agree with what I have to say, put it that way. But it's all been said before so it's a waste of time. Shame I answered the question whilst you were predicting I wouldn't though, titheed. 108121[/snapback] Tbh that's fair enough, I don't want to get into this obsessive-Bellamy complex some people on here have . Canny player like.

Not at all. I don't mind Liverpool as a club, but was pretty depressed to see that we really now are a very mediocre team. It will take one hell of a manager and a lot of money for us to catch up with the likes of Liverpool now. Anyway, did you notice the flag at half mast? 108116[/snapback] Aye, I wondered the same thing. It was at half-mast a couple of week ago and it wouldn't surprise me if they've just forgot to raise it again. I hope Liverpool never win the CL again too btw. Will they ever fuck off with that we won it five times song. Knobbers. 108120[/snapback] Seriously though, I heard other people mention this, but would we not be even worse? From a personal point of view, I would, in the incredibly unlikely event we won won it.

I was looking after my nephews on Friday night and they chose "Sky High" from the DVD shop. I was pretty skeptical about it but it was really good as it happens. It's a Disney film primarily aimed at kids but with plenty to give an adult a laugh too. Basically, it's a cross between the Incredibles and Harry Potter, with noticeable elements of other films like Mean girls and Pretty in Pink. So not original then, but it combined all these elements really well and probably surpassed all the films it plagiarised. So if you're baby sitting kids, or just want to watch the first decent non-animated Disney film in years, try this.

I'd be interested to know as well. Don't expect an answer though.

Just wondered if anyone knows why? Something to do with Jinky Johnson? Seems unlikely as there was no real Newcastle connection. In anticipation of the poor result and worse performance? Seems unlikely as the club do not have any foresight. In memory or the great team Souness has utterly destroyed, nearly bankrupting us in the process? Again, seems unlikely given the boards complicity in this event. Or perhaps they just forgot to put it up to full mast after the last match? Seems the most likely explanation given the club's incompetence. Any ideas?

Sevilla are 6th or summat. They must be alreet. Incidentally, if they win this, does that make Gibson better than Shepherd 107752[/snapback] I can hear a whoosh and a rant on its way.

Please, if there's a God, don't let this happen.

Best oxymoron ever: FACT.

Well he told the truth about women at the end iirc.

Souness should have been booted out of football for that incompetence alone. I'd let this Souness hatred die but I heard the twat had the nerve to be a pundit on our match on Sunday which pisses me off. Anyway, what happened to Ali Dia's contract? Was it honoured? He ended up at Gateshead didn't he for a bit?

The jokes on the joke tbh.

How long will it be until we get loads of these calls on our mobiles? I already get some.

Was he in the jungle book?

Is the structure of my chromosomes? 107660[/snapback] You need some Xs or you're dead I'm afraid.

Either that or just hang up straight away. Or leave the phone off the hook and go back to what you were doing, even better. I reckon in this case the bloke on the phone was just being incredibly dense, not properly listening to his replies. Stupidity rather than being malicious, but pretty bad nonetheless.

Everybody in Britain minus a few tories, like Blair?

Or subject, tbh.

Me too. Only have to wear it for about 4 meetings a year and weddings, so I'm not going to fork out for a designer one like wor Gemmill.

I should point out maybe that that thing is actually a fair ground ride. You get up to the top of the mountain on a funicular railway much like the one Toonraider posted, except considerably longer I'd imagine.

I'm 2 hours drive from there and I've never been, must recify that next month! Looks like fun, I was on something similar in Germany when I was very young, think it was over the black forest. 107496[/snapback] Mount Tibidabo or something, iirc. Amazing views from the top, where you can see the whole of Barcelona, Monserrat, the Balearics, and the Pyrenees (maybe see your house ). However, if you want to go on one of the rides beware the fairground's not always open - best to go on weekends or holidays I think.

Looks like the one you get up from Barcelona to that fairground place on the mountain. Piece of piss.
