We'll have less of this common sense type posting thank you very much Surprised any player expecting to go to the World Cup will happily move this January (unless it's like Cabaye and a move to the sort of loaded club he'd hope to attract after the WC, so no need to wait).

I know who my parents are, I lost my dad last Sunday (he was anything but a bastard btw). Some random goes and posts pictures of Jackie Milburn and I am supposed to get emotional over someone I never knew or even saw play, and to post what exactly to make you happy ????

Film/moving picture show you most recently watched
Toonpack replied to Jimbo's topic in General Chat
Juan of the Dead some Spanish language Zombie Apocalypse story set in Cuba. Was highly amusing although was difficult to keep up at times as they speak so damned fast and the subtitles seemed to whip along at similar speed. The "I want to see a last dawn", rooftop scene was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages. -
I always cook the Turkey on low overnight, quick blast at higher temp first thing and it's done and out of the way before everyone's even outa bed. Never failed yet. Oh and as was said above always stuff under the skin, I also cover the whole thing with a layer of streaky bacon. Toonpack's stuffing: Portion good pork sausage meat Skinned Richmond Irish sausages (8) Cheap, but they work. Tin chopped ham and pork (blitzed) All mixed together then add: Breadcrumbs decent glug of Lemon Juice Milled Black Pepper - lots of it Mixed herbs, when you think you've added enough, add some more. Beaten egg to bind the fucker Finely chopped onion optional (I don't, as some of the family don't like it, weirdo's !!!) Mix the whole lot up and stuff away. I tend to do a double lot, half covers the bird the other half I cook like a meatloaf in a tin lined with streaky bacon, ideal for slicing and turkey/stuffing butties. Of aye, I cheat on some of the veg, sprouts especially, get the prepared bags from M&S, pierce bag microwave in 4 mins or so, drop into serving dish whallop on a bit of butter and they are bloody tasty

name and contact gubbins at the top, qualifications etc with a single paragraph statement - I am an experienced xyz with xyz experience in xyz industry(ies) working for xyz type companies (blue chip, multi national that type of thing). Mine has a single sentence with a skills summary table underneath. Then sections for each job/role you've done to be structured: From - to, Employer, Role/title, with SHORT bulleted statements below that stating achievements, tailor that part each time for any role you are going for to match things they're looking for in the job description. i.e. a different or new CV for each job you're going for. In IT stick in as many appropriate key words as you can, e.g. Oracle, .Net, Linux that sort of stuff, if your going for project environment stuff things like methodologies - Waterfall, Agile, etc etc etc you get the picture I hope. Oh and don't lie, everything should have a basis of truth, which even if it's a tenuous link/experience you can beef it up via good ole Google. Sensibly spaced, no-one wants to plough through war and peace, punchy stuff, if someone wants to drill down detail they'll get that at interview.

If Carlsberg made rollercoasters....................

Must be shite, they're below us and we are beyond shite evidently
-
Nailed it IMO
-
Well (stolen from elsewhere) Since all the January French lads came in we've got 43 points from 29 league games. Equates to 56pts if you take that points rate out over a 38 game season. We finished 5th with 56pts in 2003/04. In recent seasons, typically you can expect to finish 7th-9th if you get 56pts (HF's historical points table would confirm that/or not if I could find it). So our shite manager (copyright N-O) is doing OK with what he has tbh
-
Thought Sissoko and Cabaye were pretty poor but we still carried the greater threat up to half-time and into second half. Krull mare for their first (and should have done better for the third)less said about Webb the better. We were poor, but not 3 goals worse by any stretch IMO N-O is in meltdown :-) Wish I owned a cyber pitchfork and torches store.
-
Thought we looked the more dangerous myself like, still reckon we'll score
-
Aye but he's obviously got some dodgy photo's of the editor
-
Yet the Sunderland Echo published him
-
Alreet Jerome, no need to show off !!
-
Meenzer is !!!! the corrupt bastard !!!!!
-
In a similar vein, Steve Bruce, we wouldn't pay the £300K (or whatever it was) for him
-
Lot more tense that it needed to be but if Cisse's goal had stood (as it should have) we'd have been very comfortable despite the fall off in performance second half and no last 10 minute nerves to get through.
-
But our "profitability" has risen and you said profit not commercial income
-
What profitability have we ever had to half, with or without TV money ???? Other organisations have always made money through our shirts, it all comes down to the margin the club makes on a shirt irrespective of who sells it. I understand the distrust bit but £500K to SD is peanuts. You never know he could be saving the club a load of money, SD may be doing all the stuff for NUFC at cost, then again they may not. We'll likely never know but just because there's money going that way doesn't mean it's a "new" or bad cost tbh.
-
Doesn't matter so long as the club are not worse off: As an illustrative made up example, maybe all the merchandise storage/distribution/logistics etc used to cost NUFC around £700K a year, if they outsourced that to SD (who will have a huge distribution network) for £500K, the club would pay SD £500K (or 498K) but actually be £200K better off.
-
I appreciate that, but I'd simply get someone else to play RB, I wouldn't shuffle the whole back line to use one of those players as temporary RB.
-
No no no !!! The back four have kept two clean sheets against good sides, one piece of that four will be missing, replace only that player, don't change 3 pieces of the 4 for the sake of the one, IMO of course.

They're nowt without Silva tbh
