  1. Was good tonight and is fast becoming a very good centre half.
  2. Excellent display by Ranger. Nolan looks hungry again. Back four looked solid and were well protected by the skipper. Good to see Vuckic, Kadar and Donaldson coming on. It proves that Hughton has faith in then and will give Fat man a nudge that we've got absolutely nothing else...
  3. What we're the kings of leon like. They threw a tantrum on Friday at Reading.
  4. Wouldn't mind Matty Fryatt coming in before Monday!!
  5. I came close to a hiding in a Chinese restaurant in Breda for wearing a supermac t-shirt. Despite this he's still an absolute legend and a bloody nice fella to boot. Yes he was a big mouthed cocky footballer, but he ultimately chose to settle in the north east, which shows he has an affinity for the place.
  6. And what do Moats go round? MP's houses?
  7. That's good for our promotion chances, now if only Everton/Aston Villa would turn their attentions to Wheater and Real Madrid would finally do that deal for Adam Johnson
  8. Fair play to rolly polly Kev, he's managed to turn opinion very quickly on here. Not two months ago there'd have been a queue of people willing to carry his chunky arse back to Bolton...
  9. Very unfair on krul IMO. He did drop a couple of clangers but he also pulled off one excellent save, came and caught crosses, marshalled the edge of his box to help out the defenders and his kicking was superb. So much more an all round keeper than Harper. Those two sentences don't marry. A good goalkeeper for me is one that doesn't drop clangers.
  10. When we signed him all the talk was that Megson was absolutely delighted that he'd got rid him!!
  11. I am now officially sick to the back fucking teeth with this whole buy me don't buy me take me off the market horseshit.
  12. Jimbo - Unless you are about to post some pictures, will you kindly get out of this thread!!
  13. The mans qualifications for running one of the biggest football clubs in the country is having sold footy strips and worked in a club shop.. Excellent.
  14. I can't find an emoticon for 'not in the least bit surprised' http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/athletics/8219937.stm Tests have revealed Caster Semenya's testosterone level to be three times higher than those normally expected in a female sample, BBC Sport understands. Analysis prior to the World Athletics Championships and the 18-year-old's big improvement prompted calls for a gender test from the sport's governing body. It was made public only hours before the South African, who has been backed by her nation, won the 800m in Berlin. A high level of the hormone does not always equate to a failed a drugs test. But the news will only increase speculation surrounding Semenya, who arrived back in South Africa to a rapturous welcome on Tuesday. Semenya was welcomed by hundreds of well-wishers on her return to South Africa Hundreds turned out in Johannesburg to greet the teenager, who has stunned the athletics world with her performances this season. She ran a time of one minute, 56.72 seconds in Bambous in July to smash her previous personal best by more than seven seconds. She also broke Zola Budd's long-standing South African record and arrived at the World Championships as the newly crowned African junior champion. Then in Berlin she left her rivals trailing to win gold in a time of 1:55.45. Defending champion Janeth Jepkosgei was second, a massive 2.45 seconds adrift, with Britain's Jenny Meadows taking the bronze medal. Only hours before the race, it leaked out that the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) had demanded Semenya take a gender test amid fears she should not be allowed to run as a woman. It has since emerged that news of the test only became public knowledge because a fax was sent to the wrong person. Since then, both her family and South African athletics chiefs have leapt to her defence, insisting she is 100% female. "Caster is a girl. I am not worried about that too much," said her uncle on her arrival back in South Africa. "Caster is like my child. I know where she comes from. For myself, I know Caster is a girl." Leonard Chuene, president of Athletics South Africa (ASA), has called for the matter over Semenya's gender to be laid to rest. "We have not once, as ASA, doubted her. It's very simple: She's a girl," he added. "We took this child to Poland to the junior championship under the IAAF. Why was there no story about it? She was accepted there. "No-one said anything there because she did not do anything special. She is the same girl." Semenya has been humiliated - Holmes Testosterone levels can vary widely, which makes it hard to detect possible infractions. When analysis shows an athlete to have a raised level, they are monitored at regular intervals over a set period to establish what their underlying levels would be. That is then used as a marker for the future, so any sharp differences immediately stand out as suspicious. An analysis of Semenya's testosterone levels was carried out in South Africa and it is understood that this information contributed to the IAAF's decision to request the ASA carry out a detailed "gender verification" test on the athlete. Those medical tests are said to be ongoing, with the results not expected for several weeks. On Sunday, IAAF president Lamine Diack said the affair could have been treated with more sensitivity. "It should not even have become an issue if the confidentiality had been respected," he said. "There was a leak of confidentiality at some point and this lead to some insensitive reactions."
  15. Some Africans A youth tournament Or Summink... Helpful!!
  16. What's happened with this non-disclosure agreement...
  17. Was linked with a bid in February as well.
  18. Saw Tropic Thunder... and if i'm honest I was a little dissapointed. It looks like it should have been funnier than it actually was.
  19. They are one and the same, article suggests that the overdraft facility is £40m of which we are currently utilising £20m and Barclays have a limit for Championship clubs of £10m.
  20. I didn't realise they also signed Kasper Schmeical.
  21. Statement of intent and Sven proving his worth...
