Papa Lazaru

To be fair its a good point, the ref didn't play 3 mins and that doesn't include the extra time on top of that requires for Milan substitutions, not that i care either way about the result mind! Against a tiring Milan defence that was struggling i can't believe he didn't bring on Bellamy against them, instead playing Kewell who looked yards off the pace, i think that cost them dear. Good game from both teams though, much better than the FA cup final! The game was crying out for bellend to start tbh, something Rafa got wrong, which is something you cant say much can you? Yeah, i think i'd just about take a manager at Newcastle who wins one CL and maybe makes a mistake in a second final!

It's genius on there today like. Their arses have well and truly dropped Its amusing, because whenever anything good has happened at the toon, or wheever things have been looking up, the mackems would always cling to the fact that Fat Fred was still in control and nothing would ever really change (and for once they may have been right), so if Fred is forced out the mackems will be devestated!

Like Dan says, it sounds alot better than some of the other people who've checked the club out. Be great to eb a fly on the wall of wherever Fat Fred is at the moment! And the other sign that it could be good is the mackems shitting themsleves over on SMB, they already have a thread approaching 10 pages, not that they're obsessed or anything! And now we can await reading Anal Oliver writing about how the bloke isn't a geordie, won't love the club the way fat fred does and how bad that is for us all!

I think everyone should include it in any reply to me! Fan of both, Buffy is best, you will disagree i suspect you fucker!

Bollocks. As if Fergie would have won it like that? Piss off. Football is dead! Its actually really funny, because i am starting to think you are stupid enough to believe that if you offered Fergie a win and the double but playing boring or a defeat and no double but playing with flair that he would take the latter! Even Keegan woudl take the win, leaving you, and well nobody else in their right mind choosing the defeat! No team has ever or will ever always win with flair and exciting football, you take the wins how they come and sit back and enjoy your trophies not giving a flying fuck how they were won, well at least the rets of the adult world does. Pop quiz Neil you fucker... Which team went out there today to kill all forward play? Which team's manager prepared his team with the words: 'do you want to enjoy the match, or do you want to enjoy after the match?' The difference is obvious "Fucker", your level of wit and intelligence is growing! I'd say the team that won fits the description of what you just wrote, and thats the team that matters.

Personally i think it died the first time there was ever a 0-0 draw, its never recovered since quite frankly!

Glory fan syndrome "who's that? he doesn't play for us...BOOOOOO" wankers I thought that was despicable, typical manUre scum. Wasn't just ex Liverpool players, Spurs players also were booed and I heard a few boos amongst the cheers for Man Utd players from Chelsea fans. Even Everton legend Neville Southall was booed - dunno why or by who though. I think the only player to be applauded by everyone was Mark Hughes, as he played for both clubs! As you say, despicable. It was embarassing, yet sadly predictable and i expected it before they announced the first player. As you say, why the hell would say, Southall be booed, there was no logical reason at all, other then the fans there being twats! That said, the entire ground should have given Wise non stop abuse till he fucked off the pitch!

Jose won, him, his players and fans are happy and don't give a fuck what some bitter Mourinho obsessed Newcastle fan is yet again banging on about. Fergie and all of his people would equally be happy to have won the final as it was won and wouldn't give a shit how boring the match was. Finals are often shit because people don't want to throw it away, they want to win trophies, but then you're above winning trophies aren't you, if it means having a successful manager like Mourinho!

11 but as people have said its down to having seen several of those questions before (and probably having been caught out by a couple of them initially!) and knowing that they're trick questions you are ready for them. I got the baseball one, though ironically i think its shite and a complete waste of tiem to watch!

It could only get worse for the poor bastards if Souness tries a takeover! Imagine Souness owns your club, so instantly installs hismelf as manager and is in fact practically unsackable as he is in control of the club! Wolves had a very lucky escape!

It's on Newsnow. It was on newsnow i saw it as well! And more than anything it shows Anal to be the snivelling little weasel we all know, so full of bullshit, arse kissing whoever is at the club and compeltely 100% going back on everything he's said is just a fucking embarassment. The man is so far beyond a joke his bosses should just fire him now! He did exactly the same when Souness was here, covering, arse kissing him and lettign him get away with such utter bulshit that he played a big part in keeping the fucker in a job, then the second Souness is out and Roeder is in he starts ripping Souness to shreds and slagging everything about him. He really is the most gutless two faced journo around and that takes some doing!

I think he's on his way to doing that,can't see him beating about the bush from what he says in the Chron tonight.He'll have the contacts and probably the players he had an eye on whilst being at Bolton aswell,i think he'll move fast on this one like. I am really hoping we'll see some quick moves to bring players in as well. Being the man he is, he will already have people in mind, perhaps almost lined up, and you can see him acting asap on any free agents he has his eye on.

There's no way he can shift everyone people would liek him to as there would be hardly any squad left and we don't have the money to replace everyone. So there's a chance we'll see a few hanging in there longer than we'd like. But he'll either get an improvement from them or be looking to shift more in January i imagine.

I've caught bits of that a few times. Canny funny from what I've seen, I expect it will come to BBC2 eventually. It's actually the second series, i saw all the first on BBC3 and can't remember if it ever made it to BBC2 or not, so i don't know if this series will. I really like it and Brydon is class in it, also writes it with some other bloke. But its not like Partridge, its like Larry Sanders as celebs play themselves (though in Brydon and a few others case its an "extras" style version of themselves). And like Sanders, its part behind the scenes and part bits from the made up show he's hosting. You're spot on about the Sanders reference there. Did you ever see the show Brydon did years ago, filmed as a taxi driver. Bob and Margaret I think. It was really different-very well done. I caught some of it, very well performed by Rob Bryden. I remember he was in a programme called Human Remains, though i didn't see it, then they did Marion and Geoff which like you say was really well perfomed. (Bob and Margaret was an animated comedy, not too bad and had Steve Coogan doing a voice in it i seem to remember) Then he did the Keith Barret spin off from Marion and Geoff where he interviewed celeb couples.

It doesn't say his age, but how old do you need to be to realise its not right to do that!!! I bet he has some interesting nicknames at school now!

That's an excellent post and fair play to the lad for saying it. For the situation we find ourselves in, with the quite obvious problems we have he is one of the best people to sort them out. The mackems reaction to us can often be quite useful. They pissed themselves laughing and celebrated when we got Souness and they were right. As far as i recall they were pretty amused we went for Roeder and didn't think he'd do well. With Big Sam they'll either be like this bloke, or their posts will be sad, bitter and full of hope that he'll do this wrong, and that wrong but ultimately scared he'll do very well. I love the bit about fining Stelios for gettign cramp in a game for Greece

But on the other hand, we don't have Leazes anymore, so really deep down, we needed another person who creates straw men, argues against things nobody said and generally just says the same shite over and over again on ever thread where its mentioned, or even not mentioned!

I'd say Harper would go for Given myself!

Not unlike yourself in that regard Well it's true isn't it? Why would Gullit still be so pissed off after all these years that that is what he says every time? The bloke cleary thinks he has been unjustly treated, funnily enough like every single manager since KK. And now irony of ironies, all we hear is 'give Sam time, he'll get it right'. Like fuck he will. FFS, we get the message already. Why don't you stop boring us and leave the forum for a year or so, and come back when you no doubt have been proved correct? Ha, it's happened already. Don't dare criticise the Messiah! Ridiculous. Don't be ridiculous. Firstly, to me he is not a messiah, I have reservations about him, but I think he is step forward and I hope he is a significant step forward. Secondly, I am happy to hear arguments to the contrary. Well reasoned ones, that is. But you are repeating the same objections ad nauseum, and they're not even proper objections. It's boring. We know your opinion, you don't have to repeat it in every thread. I wasn't even talking about Sam in here, you;'re the one who leapt to his defence. I haven't repeated a single argument. Each thread is a separate valid point, backed up by the singular fact no-one has any answer to them beyond the juvenile and burn the heretic responses. I still await an answer to: what punishment awaits his outstanding investigations?, Why does Fred think Sam is a top 2 manager? Why do people think Sam will stand up to Fred? What are these mysterious 28 job titles we supposedly don't have? Why will Sam be the first manager at NUFC in a decade not to be criticised whatever happens for the next 2 years? Why is Lee Clark 'jobs for the boys' but Gary Speed is an inspired appointment? How did we repair Dyer and Owen with third rate medical staff? Why does Bramble get another chance when no doubt he was on his way out? On what basis has Fat Sam just jumped into the top 3 paid managers in the league? I'd say virtually guarenteed no punishments as with anyone in that investigation as they proved nothing, and unless you have some major evidence of his wrongdoing then you can show us all and actually finally back up one of your arguments, so offer us this amazing evidence you have. I don't remember him saying he's a top 2 manager, though i'm sure you have clear proof he has or of course you wouldn't be arguing about it, but i imagine he thinks he can be a top 2 manager with a club with our resources, until now he has never had those resources, and we'll see if he can do it. They think he'll stand up to him because unlike Roeder he's a big strong character, who gets his own way and runs the club his way from top to bottom as he's shown at Bolton. Unless you have evidence to the contrary that none of what i've jus said is true, do you? Go and check the entire list of back room employess for NUFC, there was a list on a thread here somewhere, and half of them either said vacant, or were filled by Roeder, Terry Mac and Clark. Some of the job titles as Isegrim has said we know we don't have here, even Fred realises that, so eother prove we don't have them or change the fucking record. If any manager is obviously changing the club for the better and making short and long term progress they will be backed, but not immune to criticism, nobody is or ever will eb in football, especially when you're dealign with 50,000+ different peopels opinions. So why the hell do you think anyone on here has said he won't be criticised? We don't have a clue if Speed is coming here, though apparently as with everythign else you seem to know for a fact. Also go and find a load of people here sayign it is inspired, i bet you can't, because there isn't many people who have said that at all. We repaired the likes of Dyer and Owen by sending them away to out of club experts who know what they're doing and who totoally changed everything about Dyers regime. Also peoples main criticism of NUFC isn't our ability to treat injuries, where we probably have some decent people, its thr ability to train people not to pick them up, to be as fit as possible and to be at the very best they can. Bramble will get another chance (if he does) ecause Allardyce will judge every player when he sees them, not on whether you think he should stay or go. Thats how managers work. I wouldn't have paid him this much, but with MAn City about ready to dump Pearce, Fred acted quickly and whilst that was wise, he did what he always does and went for offering a load of money, but he got his man. Though like you i wasnt at the negotiations, so we don't have any idea what Fat Fred started at, maybe this was after alot of arguing, rather than he isntantly offered him stupid money, who knows.

Then the advert and song were misleading, though: "Its too orangey for crows, it sends you off your tits and makes you saw your bike in half" wouldn't have shifted as many bottles, then again...

Probably means Wembley still isn't going to be ready for the cup final no matter what they've said!

Remember that Hula Hoops advert with Cab Calloway? Anyone? I do, along with the Kia Ora one you mentioned on general chat (from Frost and Pegg's perfect night in). The Kia Ora one i haven't seen for years and years, yet the second it was on i could remember the tune/words perfectly! Yes, but it was refused to Robson before IIRC. Though the image of Robson sitting in front of a computer is a bit strange as well. GBLC will struggle with the new regime anyway with the introduction of many strange words like nutterition etc. I reckon if the club bring in a computer system to assist the coaches, GBLC and Terry Mac will sit in front of it and play computer games the whole day. Though, if it keeps them away from the training ground... It's too orangey for crows. Why was Bobby being refused Kia Ora, we need to know! Gives you cancer tbh. I had some recently. It was reduced to about 25p a bottle in my local mini mart place. It tasted like bad AIDS. So you're saying Kia Ora is maouri for Bad aids! Aye. Have I mentioned a lad at school who got hyperactive on it sawed his bike in half after drinking some Kia-Ora? Is that scientifically proven, or did people forget to include the fact he'd drunk the Kia Ora whilst sniffing glue or something!
