Right foot chomped?

According to Martin Jol (ok, make of it what you want) the background might be this...

Tom, nothing wrong with you trying to be (cautiously) optimistic about it. I wouldn't have said anything against it if you were not repeatedly trying to take the piss out of fans of other clubs who don't act too differently. Don't get wound up too easily...

And you are mocking people on RTG for being a bit deluded? Power mad. Im saying it's not impossible. Check my first post for the best indication. Yes, you'd better stopped posting after this. It's more interesting when you post about gardening to be honest. Oooh, touchy. Can't you see the irony of you dragging up quotes from other message boards where people are saying something deluded or unrealistic but then are just going for the same route?

Top 10 Great Growing Fragrant Roses From Marie Iannotti, All roses are beautiful, but add the dimension of fragrance and you have exceptional roses. The ten roses listed here were chosen by the 'All America Rose Selections' (AARS) as having 'Fabulous Fragrance'. The AARS sorts through all the new rose introductions each year and chooses only one to a handful of the top performers to be awarded their Rose(s) of the Year designation. Out of all the winners since the 1960s, these 10 made their list of top ten for fragrance. 1. Double Delight AARS Winner Rosa 'Double Delight' View Full-Size Double Delight, a hybrid tea rose with a long season of bloom, was an AARS winner back in 1977. The double blossoms have a rich, creamy white to pale pink center with deep, ruby edging. They have a bushy habit, growing to about 4-5 feet with a 2-3 foot spread. Double Delight shows good disease resistance, although less so in wet weather, which also does in the blossoms. Expect a sweet, spicy scent. Zones 5-9 2. Elle AARS Winner Rosa 'Sun Sprinkles' View Full-Size Elle, a 2005 winner, is another hybrid tea rose. She displays above average disease resistance, especially to black spot and mildew. The blossoms are a soft, shell pink set off by glossy, dark green foliage. All of that plus a spicy, citrusy scent. Elle promises to make an excellent cut flower, with 4-5 inch wide blooms held on 10-14 inch stems. Zones 7-10 3. 4th of July In 1999, Fourth of July was the first climbing rose to win the AARS award in 23 years. The blossoms are everything you'd expect from a rose named 4th of July, clusters of large 4 inch flowers in vibrant red with white stripes, on 10-14 foot arching canes. As with all the roses listed here, the scent is exceptional. 4th of July has the added bonus of being a repeat bloomer. Zones 5-9 4. Honey Perfume Not many floribunda roses boast any scent, let alone deserve the name of Honey Perfume. A wonderful spicy scent and apricot yellow blooms truly set Honey Perfume apart from the already wonderful category of floribundas. Growing about 3-4 feet high and 2-3 feet wide, Honey Perfume makes a great specimen or low hedge. It exhibits very good rust and mildew resistance. Zones 6-10 5. Memorial Day Memorial Day is arguably the front runner for fragrance. As AARS puts it, "experts say one bloom perfumes almost an entire room." This is another of the popular hybrid teas and was an AARS winner in 2004. Memorial Day has 5 inch, clear pink blossoms with a lavender glow about them. The fragrance is described as similar to the old fashioned damask roses. Cutting stems are nice and long and the bushes are an especially good choice for hot climates. Zones 7-10 6. Midas Touch Midas Touch won its AARS prize back in 1994 and can be found in many gardens today. It shines with golden yellow 4 inch blossoms on an upright 5 foot plant. Midas Touch is yet another hybrid tea beauty with a warm, musky scent. Zones 4-9 7. Mr. Lincoln It's hard to believe Mr. Lincoln won his AARS distinction back in 1965. The velvety, deep red hybrid tea is still one of the most popularly grown garden roses. Beautiful as well as strongly scented, Mr. Lincoln's blossoms are held are stiff, upright stems. The bushes can be expected to grow 4-5 feet tall and about 2 feet across. Zones 5-9 8. Scentimental This spicy scented floribunda was the first striped rose to win the AARS award. With burgundy and creamy white stripes, Scentimental hardly needs its wonderful fragrance to attract attention, but that's what made it an award winner in 1997. Zones 6-10 9. Sheer Bliss Sheer Bliss is a delicate, pale pink hybrid tea. While it needs a bit of winter protection, its delicate beauty, and mild, but sweet fragrance and repeat blooming habit make it a standout favorite. The large flowers bloom on long stems, perfect for cutting. Hardiness info is scant, but most agree it will survive to Zone 6. 10. Sun Sprinkles Sun Sprinkles, a miniature rose, won its award in 2001. Brilliant yellow blooms open early and repeat all summer. With excellent disease resistance, Sun Sprinkles is a great choice even in a garden with limited space. Growing in low and mounded to about 18 - 24 inches, Sun Sprinkles can be used as an edger, in containers or as a specimen. The spicy, musky fragrance and vivid color will make people stop for a closer look. Zones 6-10

Probably even has a mini Scotland corner at home with posters of Rob Roy and William Wallace.

Power mad, I tell thee. Keeps him away from his "Newcastle mini-corner" though, so it might be a good thing.

Hmm, I rarely tend to hype players, but I actually do rate N'Zogbia as one very exciting talent, not only considering Newcastle, but also other young players of the same age in general. I am a bit frustrated about the lack of develoment though. The state of the club and him getting shifted around haven't helped, but he should start to outgrow the status of a prospect soon or otherwise you'll be right about him getting overrated.

Trying to take over the world, of course. By boring people to sleep first? Good idea, Pinky. Narf.

Cool, they are even not too shabby to spice up a dodgy NOTW article by 3m quid...

Annoying as f**k tbh. well he would be with prolonged exposure but I've not heard enough of him for that yet More than a split of a second was long enough tbh.

Annoying as f**k tbh.

I love the notion that the English aren't. There are arses in both countries.... Calm down Sprockett Who suggested the English weren't like? I quite agree btw. Scottish football fans go on like the Mackems do with us though when it comes to the English, which is what I had in mind. Actively cheer on England's opponents, sad bastards. Yeah, the amount of English people roaring for Germany this summer will be staggering...

Martin Jol from N-O?

Total non-story. Anal probably tries to get into the knickers of the Oba wank boys. Didn't he tell us the whole last summer as well that Wenger wants to sign Martins...

I agree. ANOTHER transition season when there's no reason for it other than Mike Ashley wants to get spending down. Well, season tickets are the same price aren't they? Yet there's no hope of competing if we don't get some very decent players in. Selling teenagers on for profit isn't the most fun thing I've ever looked forward to either.... It could all be a smokescreen, if we've got a few world class signings and got Owen to sign another contract I'll be happy...much less and I think we can all kiss goodbye to dreams of revisiting the glory days of the mid 90s. I honestly can't see Ashers pissing around, we'll get players KK wants (within reason). It's driving me schizophrenic. Some days I think we're in for a great summer and new season, other times I think it's all a big ruse and we're going to get shafted!! *repeatedly washes hands* It takes time to learn the way of the Parky. Nah, an overdose of drugs also does the trick...

I doubt even those clubs would be prepared to pay him that much. That's why I can't understand the whole hysteria about him leaving the club.

My brother is off to Belgrade next week for a month of work experience. He doesn't seem interested in the Eurovision though. Anyway, he's off to Montenegro for a bit then hopping on a ferry over to Italy, where I'm gonna meet him, then we'll travel up to France, meet my parents at my uncle's campsite near Nice, and then on up through France. In Italy we're doing Naples, Rome, Tuscany (maybe inc Florence) and perhaps Genoa. If anyone has any experiences/suggestions I'm all ears, especially about Tuscany. Pisa is definitely worth a day trip. Siena as well. I will do two weeks of sailing (channel islands) in early August.

Unusual would have been if they had used the champagne and not the usual tankards of beer...

Owen. 1-1
