I think you've spent too much time in the States Noelie, where a draw (sorry, a 'tie') is considered a statistical anomaly of little consequence. A hard-fought draw (or any draw for that matter) is worth a point in Association Football, and below-average teams such as ourselves can't afford to turn our nose up at any points, no matter how they're earned.

I'm coming round to Ant's way of thinking.

Re: The Echo article; what a miserable little fucker he is. What's he come out with now Craig?

Are they banning balaclava's and other face-covering items of clothing as well?

PM Shints.

If its sprained there is not a lot they can do for you, you'll just have to wait for it to heal. If you think it might be broken they could x-ray it, but might wait until the swelling has gone down a bit.

Got the camping stuff & the camera gear out and going to head up to Beadnell for a few days. Hope the weather holds.

Added bonus?? That's one of the driving forces for me like... We could probably squeeze a Dresden Day in February too.

We have less public holidays than anywhere else in europe and no bank holidays from the end of August until Christmas. We should have a Trafalgar Day in October. The added bonus would be that it might piss off the French & Spanish.

Are you being deliberately dense Noelie, or am I being whooshed?

I think that is a stupid way to work things out. It all boils down to win - lose - or draw, and total points. Isn't the point of W-L-D to determine points, and isn't PPG the only way to compare the number of points a manger gets against another manager with a differing number of matches? Meh, you can prove anything with 'facts'.

They make Lacrosse gear apparently.

I'd go A), and then B ).

What's the easiest way to 'acquire' albums these days?

6-2 it was. I can remember having to sober up quickly to drive back from Scarborough in time after a heavy night there on the Thursday. Was this the same game that Gravesen knacked Bernard?

Yes. And Yes.

Who else used to use that particular phrase?? Dr. Ken, you're not suggesting…… no, you can't mean…… Wynn!! Reckon so. Of course, we'll need detective superintendent Stevie of the yard to do some digging before we can be absolutely certain.

Who else used to use that particular phrase??

Amen to that, brother. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs a fucking good shoeing (imo).

He has also won haircut of the year for 1958.

I think he was struck by some rotten luck, however that was in addition to some shocking decisions. The main piece of bad luck was Shearer's injury, but he still ruined everything. I agree with Holden McGroin, I'd go as far to say this about Dalglish, he did more damage to Newcastle, than Souness, Ashley and Allardyce put together. His reign was a catastrophe, and it took us years to recover from his mis-management and poor decision making. On the plus side, he did sign Given, Speed and Solano. Other than that, his reign was pretty horrible. His negative tone with the media also helped result in us going from one of the most popular sides under KK, to almost universally disliked in the press.

Going to Hartlepool - Tranmere this afternoon. Standing on terraces; old skool!
