  1. At the end of the day it's more the exam boards dictating what is taught in schools. Nothing really the schools themselves can do in terms of dictating the syllabus. There are just various modules available to be taught. 2/3 of my A level subjects have coursework, which is alot preferable as it gives an indication of the student's ability through the course of a term, as opposed to 2 hours in a pressured situation. You can get someone who does well in the subject in class, but has a mare of an exam and fails. With coursework, such a scenario isn't as devestating.
  2. Johnson chipped in with 17 goals, but McBride scores 25 in 24. I now have Shaun Maloney coming on a free transfer (I needed a decent midfielder who could take a free kick and not balloon it over the bar), Nicolas Burdisso arriving for 2.6 million and waiting for a work permit for Jose Sosa. Here's his stats: Going to try and raid Fulham, Bolton and Reading as they've been relegated. Fund-permitting of course, bastards have only given me 1.6 million to spend. Albeit they just gave me a 14kp/w contract to make up for my lack of a soul.
  3. Last year we lost this game 3-0 and Souness was booted out. Even then we were doing 'better' than we are right now.
  4. If we can't beat Man City, then that's my hope for the season gone.
  5. We're bound to do it again then, aren't we? My point being that we thought we'd get utterly spanked by them both times, yet ended up beating them. Hence I'm not willing to discredit our chances quite yet.
  6. but acccording to the chronicle he's been given plenty of chances to play. while do they wheel the players out to give these interviews, make them look like clowns and then not even put them on the bench for that match? He was told he had a chance to make a difference against Palermo and he scores a goal as a lone striker, which is a completely alien position to him. For someone who has shown instances of class (ie against Liverpool reserves), it's baffling he's treated the way he is. It hardly paints NUFC in a favourable light for potential signings to sign for the club.
  7. Despite the fact we've knocked them out of the cup in successive seasons....
  8. Luque not even on the bench. Fucking pitiful that he's overlooked whilst Shola clearly isn't in the right state to play. Do more damge to his hip is a fucking brilliant idea Glenn.
  9. Need him back tbh. Yep, more lightweight fannies is exactly what we need. At least he chipped in with the odd 30-yarder now and again. Like when exactly? Never Good goal against Feyonoooooord like Precisely. One cracking free kick and the belter against the dutch and we were laughing. Weren't exactly 30 yards though were they Brock?

  12. Speaks volumes. I hate the group, vastly overrated pop/ska punk which is AWFUL. The lead singer can't even bloody sing. Like Bowling For Soup tbh. I don't dislike punk, but the only punk band I really listen to is Refused. I'll have you know, Jaret has an amazing voice.
  13. Well, I'm in touch with her still, just not very regularly. it's just annoying because things were starting to get good again and I was regaining faith that things might actually work out. But I'd just been a bit grumpy/lonely this week which made it all worse. I'm sure that situation will work out. A long distance relationship will work out if both parties want it to. I know how you feel about it, I'm in one myself. But I'm all set to fly out to Germany for xmas, and she's coming over here for a Bowling For Soup gig in feb. As for the cancer, that's just rough. Have they caught it early though? If so there's every chance she'll pull through it. Personally I'm of the opinion right now that no matter how shite life may seem, it's nothing I can't handle. Which is true, it helps me concentrate on the positive aspects instead of getting worked up over things that are out of my control. That and I have some great friends who can put up with me going off on one on occasion.
  14. I'm off to uni (acceptance-permitting) next year so it won't affect me. Seems a very silly idea this. Most kids drop out of school here because they're either too thick, stoned or seeking a career in dealing.
  15. Tonight is a quiet night in. With some strongbow of course. Going to get my skates sharpened tomorrow and play hockey. Then Sunday is the Reading v Spuds match.
  16. Whether he's scoring or not, he's a squad player Glenn. The fact he's now a "key member" of the squad shows how far we've disintergrated as a club.
  17. Should've shat in their milk tbh. The worst is when you're on a plane and you have kids sitting behind you. Who don't. stop. fidgeting.
  18. Tobias IS Roeder! Can't be, he mentioned playing Luque.
