I wouldn't put it past these cunts not getting a replacement for Ba in. We've seen them do it before.

I'm a closet badminton player like

So the only way he's coming back is if he makes an effort to bury the hatchet? Regrettably I think he might be too proud to return with his tail between his legs. ...this is clearly quite different to the leazesmag case though innit. Most people on here would miss stevie's contributions if he doesn't come back. One of you will have to try to be the bigger man.

I totally agree. Stevie can be as annoying as he is entertaining but he's part of the furniture around here. He knows his football, that's for sure, and the board wouldn't be the same without him. This is totally different to the leazesmag case. I vote open his account back up.

My clubs bigger than yours. So there. Neh neh neh neh neh

Not to mention the bigger than average Johnson

stevie and ant need to settle this like men in the only way possible: a charity boxing bout streamed live over toontastic. think ricky gervais v grant bovey

fancy dress day in Boldon is it?

"the chances of anything coming from mars are a million to one," he said

have you read the book? he come across in quite the same way. clough's family were appalled at it.

cheers for the tip. will give it a go this week

the sooner this deal is done the better; not sure i have the stomach for many more sightings of the shola/ranger partnership

i enjoyed the first season of homeland. still debating whether to start the second as have hward mixed reviews.

fair enough there have been far stranger discussion on general chat mind

i think i missed my true calling

probably about as long as the next man. definitely not as long as a lot of people at my gym. i know the type you're alluding to - they spend hours preening, sculpting their hair and adding layers of moisturiser - and i'm not one of them. but i don't see caring about your appearance as unhealthy. a normal life for most guys my age typically involves a diet that the human was never meant to eat in a million years, too much booze and sitting hunched over a desk in an office for 10 hours a day. that was me too until a few years back. do i feel better now? yes. do i look better now? yes. does that make me obsessed or not normal?

eating well and training 3 times a week is probably better than training 5 times a week and eating more crap. i tend to over-train and eat more crap than i should.

Regular excercise and a healthy diet is enough of course. But it depends on what your goals are. I won't lie; I love all the health and psychological benefits of training but my main motivation is aesthetic. Most people that start lifting weights or training seriously do so with one eye on looking good naked. I don't know about you but I've found that as I've hit my 30s, my metabolism slowed right down. Suddenly I couldn't eat and drink what I wanted and stay slim. So I got a gym membership, spent years wasting my time then decided to read up and start taking it seriously. Like any hobby, once you're on to it, it's hard not to become obsessed with doing it to the best of your ability. There are a lot of bullshit supplements out there of course. The only ones I have tried are whey protein, creatine and BCAA. I've never touched hormones or steroids. And I'm not a fan of creatine but I have found the other two useful when combined with a strict training and nutrition plan. As for healthy self image, what does that even mean? Am i more insecure than someone that's happy walking around with man boobs and a spare tyre, or am I just less lazy? I could achieve that look very easily.

Been getting into modern family. Worth a watch. Bit like the office, the way it's done, Finally finished season 5 of breaking bad. Sets it up nicely for the final episodes next year.

Do you honestly not think they're a big club?

Why train in the first place? It's good for the body and mind, makes you feel good and is good for your heart. Ultimately though, most people get into it because they want to improve their body image. Why wear nice designer clothes? Why get a good hair cut? Why wear expensive after shave? It's the same thing; it's trying to project the best image of yourself that you can. That doesn't necessarily mean looking like one of the spray tan steroid chumps from Geordie shore.

Everyone has a different take on what makes a club "big". We are a big club; so are they.

Fuck off back to the cooking thread then. I'm sure CT will be happy to share his latest pie recipe with you there.

Super sets are when you perform two or more sets of different excercises without resting. Great way to build muscle while burning fat. BCAA is Branch Chain Amino Acids. Those are 3 or 4 of the 12 amino acids that make up a protein. Those specific ones are responsible for muscle generation. Awesome supplement. Helps with recovery and getting lean.

Everton are a big club with a proud history. No doubt about that.
