Irrespective of what they did, I would also expect the "demonstrators", given the inflamatory nature of their protest, to be charged with something like "behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace" or some such. But it'll never happen. Re: the rest of it, did they break any laws that you know of. Irrespective of what you'd like to see, that is. If the demonstrators had not as inflamatory, I would doubt the two arrested would have reacted, they were arrested for an offence (as yet unknown) BUT the catalyst was the nature of the demonstration, so likely there were two offences but only one was acted upon. For all you know you may be advocating it's OK to assault someone for no more than what is effectively name calling. Without the facts of the case, this debate is fairly pointless. Not at all, there was a cause and effect, only the "effect" has been dealt with apparently. As for the name calling, people get arrested for it all the time, notably and recently in football grounds. It's because the 'cause' was not illegal and SHOULD be protected by freedom of speech, while the 'effect' WAS illegal which is why i presume the police stepped in and made arrests. If we (the west) are going to hold up ideals of being the model for which all civil society is based on, we can't laud those ideals on one hand while we contradict them on the other. Take for instance the OTT measures taken after 9/11 by 'W' and his cronies, all in the name of "protecting" the public, if it means having my rights infringed upon then I'd rather take my chances against the terrorist tbh. The right to demonstarte is not illegal, but the method/words was highly provokative, I suppose a group of football supporters holding up such signs near rival area wouldn't be moved on/arrested either With respect to "over the top measures" taken after 9/11, I woudl suggest the yanks were pretty restrained tbh, at the time on many of the US message boards I frequent the sentiment was one of nuke the whole middle east, shame they didn't tbh Really doesn't get much dumber than this post. Getting back on topic, these people are the same as the Westboro Baptist Church. I have had the truly unpleasant experience of dealing with the WBC and believe me when I say that they are the lowest form of life. However, the American Constitution protects their right to do what they do and say what they say. Same with these nuts. If the WBC want to say the soldiers are burning in hell because they fight for a "fag-loving" nation, regrettably they are allowed to say that. If these extremists want to say the soldiers should burn because they're fighting for a "corrupt dictatorship" with no Sharia law, regrettably they are allowed to say that. If some morons want to get together and say the US should nuke the whole middle east, they are allowed to say that, and if some skinheads want to get together and wave St George's flags and chant about how all the <insert slurs here> should be shipped out of the country...you get what I'm saying. I do agree that the enforcement is definitely not equal in many cases.

I think Owen and Shola will start, Owen to look dead tired after 60 minutes but they won't put Martins on until the 80th. Fagan is a horrible pseudo-footballer and the sight of seeing his smirking face is already turning my stomach - and that's before he starts to chop at Jonas and our other "decent" players.

I represent some made-up percentage of expatriate half-Geordie Muslims when I say that these people are total scum and the country (any country really) would be better without them. As an aside, how SHIT is Luton? As shitholes go it rivals Middlesbrough.

In fairness we've been absolute shit but that hasn't diminished from Bassong's performances. He's player of the season from our remaining players. If it's done on the website Given wouldn't be on there, but I'd vote for him.

Rather have him than Smith or Butt. Doubt there's anything in this though, although I doubt just about every transfer rumor that involves us these days.

As the parlance across the pond goes, this is "win or go home." We could easily win this game and still be relegated. But if we lose, we go down. And I desperately hope the Two Stooges and Kinnear calling from hospital will be doing their best to impress this upon the players. The players must know that the fate of NUFC lies in this game (and all those to follow, but most importantly, this one.)

That's the last one, aye. I think it took a fairly serious deflection though? Did you see some of the pearlers Geremi scored in the African Nations? Too bad he couldn't replicate them for us.

Not seen it yet, not read the "book", have heard conflicting reviews on it. I'll see it though.

Is this some sort of N-O reactionary anti-NUSC supporters' group? For the true fans? It'll never work like. It's too snobby, too perpetual. It'll die a death soon.

The Phimai historical park protects one of the most important Khmer temples of Thailand. It is located in the town of Phimai, Nakhon Ratchasima province. The temple marks one end of the Ancient Khmer Highway from Angkor. As the enclosed area of 1020x580m is comparable with that of Angkor Wat, Phimai must have been an important city in the Khmer empire. Most buildings are from the late 11th to the late 12th century, built in the Baphuon, Bayon and Angkor Wat style. However, even though the Khmer at that time were Hindu, the temple was built as a Buddhist temple, as Buddhism in the Khorat area dated back to the 7th century. Inscriptions name the site Vimayapura (which means city of Vimaya), which developed into the Thai name Phimai. The first inventory of the ruins was done in 1901 by the French geographer Etienne Aymonier. They were put under governmental protection by announcement in the Government Gazette, Volume 53, section 34, from September 27, 1936. Most of the restorations were done from 1964 to 1969 as a joint Thai-French project. The historical park, now managed by the Fine Arts Department, was officially opened by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn on April 12, 1989.

How about the reported Schweinsteiger deal as well as Wise and co trying to flog Barton on the last day of the season? More reputed interference.

Another one for the Compendium it looks like, as though we didn't already know Bassong was a KK buy. Get these liars out of our club!

This will be a humping of epic proportions - glad I'll be at work for this one. I'll try to be conservative and say 0-3.

He set the tone to be fair. Not really, the next went in and the third went completely wide, Tom you dont need to have a pop after every post I make. Do yourself (yoursel) a favour and give it a break. It's called 'discussion' you pathetic knob. He's 'debating' your point. This is what 'football fans' do on 'forums.' Once in a while people 'disagree' especially when the first is talking a load of cobblers. Board's been great without you lad. But already I can see the signs of you coming in and derailing every thread with your bullshit, wind-ups and trolling, then turning round and crying 'but I have to defend Spurs from all of you, you're "obsessed."' More like do us all a favour.

tbh you should go on a killing spree first, then go to The Sun. They'd love you all the more. If you could also get your tragic girlfriend pregnant first, that'd be good for another 500k. Jokes aside, sorry to hear that, two fingers up to them lad. You'll get through.

Good lord! The black girl is the business, no doubt. Maybe I'm just completely out of it after many years over here, but I can't detect an Irish accent on any of them? I know it's one of the brunettes (the one called Una, obv) but I just don't hear it. Not that this video was made for listening to their voices

What is there to talk about 'going forward?' Correct me if at any point you see I'm wrong. We pay up front for players but accept installments and deferred payment for our sales. The administration, who have been here since summer 2007, refer to problems created during their own reign as "inherited problems." The administration has lied numerous times about the club's debt (sorry - changed their position, which amounts to lying. Interestingly, the fact that the club is still in debt doesn't jive with the notion of paying up front for players. You pay money you don't have for players despite being in debt, but accept delayed payment? It doesn't make sense. And that's if the club is really supposed to be run on the "Arsenal sustainable spending model" or whatever crap he came up with after he had to backtrack.) We've got 'top class' managers knocking on the door...but JK is still in charge, and so are Ashley's cronies CH and CC. We try to negotiate good deals for our best players, but when the other clubs 'surprisingly' say no, we give in anyway (Given.) We are spending 17 mil on non-player salaries. You think the tea lady is on a hefty wedge? Or do you think it's more likely going to someone else... This looks like the biggest cover up since Roswell (that's a joke btw) and nobody with two brain cells to rub together should be buying it. These people are liars and NUFC will never be competitive or even safe again until they are gone.

Wembley is so quiet, the fans are probably busy munching on prawn sandwiches

I'd have him back in a heartbeat as I have always said. Not going to happen though and we need to move on, much as it pains me to say. Wise getting sacked would be a great start, KK or no KK.

Perfectly symbolises what we've become, a charva club run by a charva owner who sells shitty charva sportswear at bargain bin prices. Any time any fan reads any of the lies and propaganda vomited out by Ashley's PR engine and begins to wonder, all he/she has to do is look up at that sign to know what Ashley's plans for the club really are.

We now need to rely on other teams to be more awful than we are, which is quite a feat. Thanks for everything Mike.

What price the top six?

We're shit and we know we are

Don't think Martins even got close to goal all game? Half the time he seemed to be playing in a midfield position. Absolute shit.

Aye, there's one for you.
