None that are good enough by the look of it because we're playing Huntington at left back, who looks out of position and out of his depth. You have to cut the lad a lot of slack though because a) he shouldn't be anywhere near the first team, and b ) he certainly shouldn't be at left back. Bloke two seats along from me last night was ranting about Huntington - at one point he lost the ball, recovered but gave away a corner because of it. There was a ripple of applause for him recovering to get the challenge in. This tit was going "If that was Peter Ramage you'd be fucking going mental at him, but here people are clapping cos he lost his man then gave away a corner. He should be getting bollocked." Yeah, that's the way to treat a kid out of his depth and in the wrong position. :good: He makes a good point but it's probably not the one he meant to make. Rammage deserves slack for exactly the same reasons and both (all our players actually - except Carr ) should get encouragement when they do something right!

I would imagine that thoses LBs that were good enough either: 1. we could not afford or 2. simply would not come here Those are two things I think NUFC and its fans are going to have to get used to. But the sort of strikers and CBs and LBs we're after you're probably talking £6,000,000+ at least for, and it seems we don't have the cash, at least not in January, for 2 or 3 of those at the moment.

Very true both of them were short term panic buys brought about through lack of the P word!

Aye I saw that on the imdb yesterday, I think I'll add it onto my list. He's making the third part too I think. John Hurt's narration is excellent although it pissed off wor lass who was trying to go to sleep while I was watching it!

I am truely staggered that we have managed to fuck up another transfer window so badly that we didn't manage to get a leftback in (even on loan). I agree with Roeder's policy of only wanting to bring in players who are good enough to be here in the long term but with but we are absolutely desperate for a proper left back that I cannot believe we could not get someone in who would improve us. Our only two so called leftbacks are a complete waste of time. Babayarou only plays when he feels like it (I predict no more than five more games for him between now and the end of the season) and Bernard is obviously not going to play for us again. Playing right footed centreback there limits us so much that it's like playing with ten men going forward as whoever plays there offers no link up at all with our left winger which I have no doubt has greatly contributed to Duff and N'Zogbia struggling so badly for form this season. This is in turn causing us to be put under more pressure at the back which is why we haven't kept a clean sheet for so long. I know there's basically fuck all we can do now that the transfer window is shut but I am just so pissed off that our so called management are so stupid that they either can't see how big a problem it is or can't work our that there must be shit loads of players we could have brought in to massive effect.

Very true although while it may stop him from becoming a top class international he could still be a very important player for us.

What's worrying after last nights game is that the new lad will probably come in ahead of Taylor on Saturday despite Bramble being a fucking liability. He causes panic in the rest of the players, he can't mark (one occassion Taylor was screaming at him to pick up Young and he just wandered away from him allowing Young to get clean through and shoot, fortunately straight at Harper) and lost virtually everything in the air against Carew (somewhat understandable) and Young (ridiculous given the size difference). If he get's a new contract Roeder should be sacked on the spot!

I would agree with that. Milner has been coming on really well recently. His crossing while still hit and miss is at least Hit a lot more now and is shooting has be excellent in recent weeks.

Agreed, this is just the sort of take over bid I fear.

Dogville. Very good. I can't say that I stopped noticing the fact that is was basically filmed on a blank stage (in fact I think it's something you are supposed to notice) but it definitely didn't stop me from enjoying the film immensely. Despite it's near three hour length it never seemed long or drawn out.

Cheers

When you send the dvd's back do you need to put anything else in the envelopes to let them know who they're from?

The sounds like something that could happen. Baring in mind he's a midfielder and we are desperate for a striker and a leftback!

What are you doing at Jimbos house? hhmmm I'm watching Murder she wrote, how did that happen ? Perhaps you're bored and can't find any porn? Do you honestly think I have trouble finding porn in my house ? Fair point but I couldn't think of any other reason you would be watch Murder She Wrote!

The films aren't related and the Blue Dahlia came out a few months before the actual real murder case. Which possibly accounts, in part, for the nickname given to the actress who was killed.

Have a guess The Black Dahlia murder is an actual event. Ellroy's book is a fictionalised version of the events surrounding the Black Dahlia murder. So it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they're telling a different version of the story, knerbheed. The answer's yes btw. 'The Black Dahlia' is an old b&w film too though isn't it come to think of it? Or am I thinking of something else/a similar named film? I bet David Kelly/Happy Face would know. The Blue Dahlia is an old Alan Ladd film noir. I don't know if it's at all related but it's supposed to be a better film.

I thought this was excellent and I'm not sure the question of who was sending the tapes needed to be resolved (I think it's safe to assume it was the son as I can't think of any other logical explanation). I think the film was more about guilt and what it does to people than the mystery of the tapes. Oh and the final scene in Majid's appartment is one of the most memorable scenes I have ever seen. Truely brilliant. Yeah, this has definitely become one of my favourite films. I became completely immersed from beginning to... well, until the penultimate scene. The movie felt so claustrophobic to me that, when the last shot/scene came, all the tension i had felt throughout the whole thing, completely dissipated and i felt so relieved... and at the same time, quite disturbed with what i had just experienced. I thought "ok, this should be the end" and started waiting for the credits to roll, and yes, it was 'the ending' but the last shot will keep people talking about what it might reveal... if it reveals anything at all. But this is not the type of film where everything is orchestrated just to deliver a surprise 'twist' ending. The structure of the film is remarkable and it touches themes that revolve around trust (or distrust) and the way we might communicate (or not communicate) it; be it between husband & wife, parents & sons, french & algerians, legitimate child & adopted child, filmmaker & audience etc. In all honesty, there are numerous themes that I need to get my head round. And the fact that music wasn't used once to manipulate the viewer's emotions, while remaining devastating at times, should really be applauded. I hadn't even noticed the lack of music I was so into the film. It certainly didn't go for any of the easy shocks or twists for that type of film all of which make all the more memorable. I suspect it will stay in my mind for a long time to come which is always a good sign for a film.

Probably because of the length of the songs, non-standard lyrical preoccupations, occasional nails-down-chalkboard voice. I quite like it, but I far prefer The Milk-Eyed Mender. The more standard song structures on The Milk Eyed Mender made it far easier to get into for me. I like Ys but I find myself getting a bit bored of some of the songs as they go on and on.

I cannot get into Deerhoof at all. The new Andrew Bird one which so far I'm enjoying immensly.

That's sure an outfit the cat is wearing!

Haven't had the chance to listen to it yet, what's it like, what's poor about it? The songs. Seriously though, I just didn't find anything interesting in the songs at all. They all just seemed like far poorer versions of what was on Silent Alarm (which I enjoyed). I was utterly bored by it and couldn't wait for it to be finished. I've only listened to it once but I have no desire to give it another go (I will give it another chance or two like, just to be fair!).

They've even got his squad number on!

Well, there's some clout shots in it. Some tits and arse too. Its a bit too long tbf. The tits or the arse?
