  1. Grass not undermining LM's answer because I will be interested to read it but I've been thinking about posting this quote for quite a while and just haven't gotten around to starting a thread on it, here or on NO:

    From A man of two halves by Jack Milburn:

    By that time, Bobby Moncur had left the club to grace the turf at Roker Park in a red and white striped shirt, Terry Hibbit was at Birmingham, Terry McDermott at Liverpool and both 'Jinky' Jim Smith and John Tudor were crippled with knee injuries and not only that Joe Harvey had retired. No longer was dad (wor Jackie) the accepted 'insider' as he had been with Joe at the helm and his nose now felt a tad out of joint.

    New faces controlled St James' in the form of Blackburn Rovers' former young manager Gordon Lee and his assistant, Richard Dinnis, and dad certainly found headline-grabbing newspaper stories a lot harder to come by as the pair kept the club affairs much closer to their chest.

    However, this time at Wembley the Newcastle United players most certainly did not bring shame on themselves and were very unfortunate to lose 2-1 to Manchester City in the final. They had also finished a respectable fifth in the league, but what was to follow at St James' Park was a heady time of player power and managerial chaos, resulting in the sale of every fan's favourite, Malcolm Macdonald, to Arsenal for a whopping 333,333.333 pounds.

    Gordon Lee had announced on his arrival that there would be no individual 'stars' at Newcastle and so set about his task, something the Geordie public would never forgive him for. "It brought back stark memories of Dougald Livingstone for me," remarked dad. (wor Jackie.)

  2. Coming from a country that needs its national team to get together at every opportunity it is both good and bad.

    Australia with the change of coaches has got it right this "International" week.

    Guus cancelled the friendly against Colombia and instead has got the players together in Eindhoven to have a week of training/discussion/tactics and look at a few fringe players.

    Hopefully after he has assessed the players he can let their clubs know his second opinion on what they need in the way of extra work/treatment.

  3. This is a joke this!

    Grass where has the NO forum gone?

    When I open the page there is nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Where to start:

    Radiohead

    Sigur Ros

    Tortise

    Godspeed you! Black Emperor

    Explosions in the sky

    At the drive-in (great to listen to when travelling away to play football.)

    Queens of the stone age but I'm a bit over ginger Josh (sorry toonraider.)

    Mogwai

    Anima (friends/string section of Sigur Ros.)

    Mum (although not prog rock a bit like Sigur Ros but more electro.)

     

    Papa, you mention Crimson - Fripp is such an enigma. The stuff he did with Eno and then solo with David Byrne (talking heads), Daryl Hall and Peter Gabriel is so awesome and then you get the Fripptonic stuff that just drones.

    I know it's not prog rock but anything Eno in the 70s is worth a listen.

    Plus as War of the Worlds the movie was so average it has me reaching for the audio version - prog rock at its most commercial.

  5. But i'd not say no to a face and brow lift in a few years  :D and lipo suction all over while we're at it  :D That looks so vicious though.

  6. Penile enlargement or hair replacement is tempting for me.

    What was it that Chodo boy said in Orgazmo (the movie by South Park's Trey Parker):

    "Hey Orgazmo, if you shave it it looks bigger!"

     

    Maybe that can fix both your plastic surgery concerns Jimbo! :D

  7. What is it with famous women and little boys?

    Someone more user friendly :lol:

    Nowt spesh, I'd chuck her back in!

     

    She has a faint look of Gemmill in fact. Smaller chebs like, obviously!

    You're telling me Gemmill looks like her????????????

    Well I can see Gemmill's popularity just went through the roof.

    No more arguing about the merits of Souness!

  8. I never learned how to swim. :lol:

    Once you're finished, wait until thay are asleep, sneak out quietly so they don't follow you home.

    When you see them next time in the street, act like you don't know them, cross the road and get away without missing a stroke.

    Yeah I can see how that's like swimming B)

  9. Once a long time ago when first moved into the world as a sexual being was so over joyed to have lost his virginity that he spritely made his way to his father's local and upon arriving declared to his papa that he was no longer a virgin.

    Shocked but well pleased young khay had became a man, papa invited him for a drink. "Sit down my son and drink with me now you are a man" said papa. To which a proud as punch khay replied, "I'd love to my father but my bum is to sore!"

     

    (Besides getting over this very average day, as director of men's football for my club I have to go watch various teams who made their grand final plus the kids I coach are having a training run as they have a week off until their grand final. Also in there I might go out for dinner tonight and tomorrow night, get drunk and try and get over the flu which is falling upon me. That answer your question?)
