Gejon

He was brilliant for us in the second half of the championship and stepped up amazingly well (shocked most) before he was sold. His hype is based on that first half in the premiership where he was just brilliant and bullied many experienced defenders so they just couldn't handle him. Hard to say whether it was just good form at the time or if that was the real Carroll and he has lost his way moving to Liverpool. Just hasn't looked anything like that player since he left. Whether that's homesickness, poor attitude, no longer being unknown (so teams can plan how to defend against him) or just the fact he isn't that good it's hard to say but if we were offered him back for £15m maybe even £10m I would rather we looked elsewhere. He showed us no loyalty as soon as a bid came in so I have no wish to see him back just because he is a local lad. The whole 'Geordie lad, would die for the shirt, do us proud' stuff went out the door as quickly as he did.

Wasn't he on about £40k a week here after he signed a new contract? Doubt he is on 3-4 times that.

Would rather keep Ba. Carroll fucked off first chance and to be honest I would be very concerned about how he would perform if he came back. He looked completely unplayable at times here but there is a chance that was a purple patch and that we played to his strengths due to the players we had at the time. Not sure Carroll would work well with Ba either, Carroll worked for us because he was the main (only) man and everything went through him. Ba is the better player by some distance so we would be moronic to build our play around Carroll again.

RIP

Why 2?

Rest day today, back in the gym at 7am

Pet hate - animal charities. That one works on a number of levels

Forgot to say, this happened a while back but some lad broke both his arms bench pressing in my gym. Apparently they both just buckled under the weight

Oh dear chap a bath beats a shower every time. (especially a jacuzzi bath, dont you know). What pleasure can be gained from standing up. A bath is one of lifes luxuries allowing you space and time to relax and contemplate. When I was at the other place, the latest craze amongst young men was to shower and then turn the temperature to cold and stand there for a few more minutes! I mean just why? Burns about 100 calories in 2 minutes. Im afraid I need to see a link to proof of this statement. I struggle to believe that standing still for two minutes, however cold burns 100 calories. http://www.menshealt...d-shower-445680 and Taking a cold shower does actually burn calories. Why? The answer is simple. Your body is constantly trying to keep about a 97 degree temperature. Therefore, it has to work extra hard to do this when you are cold. All this work results in the burning of calories. Your body generates heat when it is cold by shivering. This muscle fasiculation produces heat, just like jogging or walking does. It is one of the bodies mechanisms for survival in extreme situations, in addition to dilating the blood vessles in the skin. Another one similar to the first quote - Losing weight with cold showers is possible, according to the 2008 study, "Human Skeletal Muscle Mitochondrial Uncoupling Is Associated With Cold Induced Adaptive Thermogenesis." This means that human brown fat tissue can increase fat burning in response to cold temperatures. One simple way to do this is to take cold showers.

Watched that last week, seemed a bit OTT and weird. Gym did look pretty impressive mind.

Three and a half hours sounds like overtraining to me. Why so long? An hour or 90 mins should be more than enough. Make sure you're eating like a horse too if you train that much or you'll start burning muscle. A fair bit of technical work in there.

Yeah boxing training, did another 3 and a half hours today. Body kills, I am very, very tired!

First step towards achieving that preference would be to make fewer threads whereby you as a female ask where other females are. Good point, women on internet forums who do the whole "you don't need to believe I am a woman, a woman with blonde hair, a woman with huge tits and a tiny waste, a woman who looks like some fit famous girl, oohhh I love this shoes and that footballer is sexy, owww shopping, you wouldn't believe how many handbags I own lol, ohhh I am such a woman with woman bits and stuff, but yeah why do YOU care that I am a woman I don't see why it makes any difference, owwwwwww shopping again! lol". This forum has a number of women who don't need to constantly 'be women', the more you protest that you are (and it becomes so unnatural) the more people think you are a bearded bloke with a disturbed sexual history.

That's what winds me up the most tbh. I don't know how you are supposed to deal with these situations in a reasonable matter. All I can think is these wankers are sitting there thinking "well you can live how I want you too, I will do what I like".

Why? I just don't understand it

Stupid bitch.

Yeah been through shit like this myself, especially the stupidly over the top sex screams. What can the council do about that? Confiscate her minge? I get really, really annoyed about this sort of thing though and start acting irrationally. I do often check the in memory section of the local paper so I can dance on one old neighbours grave when they do pass (I will do it).

Lad at work says 'Goodbye now' when he ends a phone call, what is the point of the 'now'?

Got the worst case of can't be fuckeds at the moment, think it's more to do with the times and time I am in the gym than anything though, for example tomorrow I have to be there at 7AM (on a fucking Saturday) and won't get out before 11am.

£70k for Demba Ba. Or if thats not true and its less then what is it? £60k, £50k? for a guy who failed 2 seperate medicals in the last 3 years for the same problem? Yes silly money. So Demba Ba will be our highest paid player? You seem pretty wound up about not getting him tbh. As stated I am glad we didnt get him as think we dodged a bullet. Already stated I think its a huge risk to sign someone who has failed 2 different medicals recently for big wages. What annoys me is that you lot can't seem to get your head around any possibility other than that the moment he knew the toon were in for him he dropped his kecks and bent over for old rapey to finger him. I have info from a very good and well respected ITK who has stated Ba said he'd join us should we match your wage offer... you dont want to believe that, fine, but please quote me something that states this is incorrect. Its not as Black and White as you lot seem to think... if both clubs bid the exact same for a player its not 100% that they would always pick you... surely you can acknowledge that is correct? If so then maybe, just maybe some people on here need to get off their high horse about it being a no brainer between the mighty Toon and shitty little Everton? Should have matched our wages

Why can you see her opinion? Not being a brown noes but you have always come across as a sensible, decent bloke on here

Dirk Kuyt, oh wait..
