Craig

Sounds like you're getting the BSOD without actually seeing it. Stick your XP disk in the machine and choose to go into recovery mode. When you get to the command prompt, type chkdsk /p Once done, reboot and hopefully all will be OK. If still not working, try the same routine but with a /r instead of the /p. If it still doesn't fix it then see if you can find a machine that you can stick the hard-drive in as a slave and run chkdsk /f from within the operating system of that machine.

Maybe that's the ploy....

Actually. I've been saying this for a while Craig, the whole every team needs a DM/AM is total bollocks IMO and far too much emphasis is placed on this in the modern game. What's wrong with having just two box to box midfielders like we had in Speed/Lee, of which Barton and Guthrie both can be. Although I have worries about Guthrie's engine. I also have worries about his discipline. Too hot-headed for his own good (and next to Joey Barton, that's saying something!).

I actually think NOT having Butt in the side will cost us dearly. Only recognisable Defensive Midfielder IMO. Barton and Guthrie are too attacking.

I can't believe the press give his comments any credance tbh, particularly following his outburst at them.... FWIW I reckon he's being primed to 'drop' such comments in order to divert attention away from Ashley and Wise. And it appears to be working.

ditto Me too. Did it whilst getting a mid-morning bottle together for the nipper and feeding it to him. Who says men can't multi-task Nae doubt you'll be flogging them for a fortune.....you bastard!!!! i gave 4 tickets away for free for the oasis gig in belfast on wed #1 because i don't like em and #2 i have tickets for Dylan Moran on the same night =D What were you doing with 4 tickets for a band you had no intention of going to see (when said tickets were like rocking horse shit). Me thinks I smell a tout Me thinks I smell the rocking horse shit.... or perhaps the bovine variety?

Aye you're right, they fucking did say that....

The only one I went to down there was the 0-0 from the first season after we got relegated (89-90). Got the train from Newcastle which stopped at East Boldon because the one in front had broken down. Needless to say, despite the fact that over half our fans were on the trains, the mongs refused to delay the kick off. At SJP I was at the following: 89-90 89-90 Playoff (only time I ever left a match early) 91-92 (Terry, Terry Butcher, Terry Butcher on the dole!) 92-93 96-97

I can't see the link.... Skunkers is listed under the category of "Malicious Web Sites" by our content filter at work...

I still don't see the point in going ape-shit.. I got him to confess and that's all I wanted. No point in being obnoxious with him, is there?

Is he kissing him on the nose I might be imagining things but wasn't there a boxing match where they did go head to head like that and one of them decided to 'kiss' the other who went absolutely ape-shit and tried to kick the fuck out of him?

Why go nuts? He 'fessed up which was all I wanted him to do.

I totally agree. The point being that what Duff did is no worse than what Jenas did and I don't think either deserve punishment. Danny B obviously thinks otherwise then

So the ref was wearing light blue? And had long hair? and had Woodgate written on his back. Do me a favour, there is no comparison with what Duff did. Think you'll find the bloke in black is using his right forearm to hold Jenas away from him. This being after Jenas' left hand appearing to be pushing against the referee. Woodgate pushes Jenas away after all this happens. On second look BTW, Woodgate is innocent - he pushes his own players away, doesn't touch the referee. Jenas however is as guilty, if not more than Duff. HA HA I have watched that back three times and I cant see Jenas make contact with the ref one, certainly not taking a swipe like duff did. You're a blind cunt as well as a stupid one, eh?

Thankfully it was near home and going by the damage on his vehicle, it was hard to work out who was the culprit. A knock on his front door resulted in a confession although he claims he didn't know he'd hit it

Beckham and Ronaldinho in the same midfield?

Yep... see Jenas. The ref even had to push him away.

What??? No where near as bad. Certainly no raising of hands to the ref like Duff did. Watch it again dickhead. Clear raising of the hands by both Jenas and Woodgate EDIT: Clip is available HERE for anyone who hasn't seen it. Choose the Stoke v Spurs game from the right hand side menu.

Acuna was a very good player. Never got a decent crack at the first team as the likes of Lee, Speed, Dyer, Jenas etc all were ahead of him. Hardly made him a shit player though - that was the days we had some depth to the squad. He'd be getting into the current XI easily now IMO.

I've just watched the Dawson incident for the first time. Fucking hell, Duff et al were practicallly tame compared to the way the Spurs lot were hassling Lee Mason. Mighty big rocks your chucking in the greenhouse Danny

I have never met an Aussie that actually uses the word cobber so why do you poms seem to like it so much? I have never met an Englishman that refers to himself as a 'pom'..... you're point being?
