Ouch. If you back the favourites in each of the first 8 games in an accumulator, the odds are 2/5. Waste of time tournament, just move to NZ v Australia in the final to save time. England are wank. Rugby Union isn't a patch on Rugby League, watched a RL game on Sky last night the lead changed hands twice and the favourite lost, much better unpredictable sport. South africa have won the world cup more than New Zealand and England are six nations champions so i wouldnt be guarenteeing a NZ v aussie final. As for which is best, people will never agree but league is just boring to me, it takes out everything that makes rugby what it is. No scrums, no rolling mauls, no rucks, all the physical battles between packs and last ditch defence on the line, no tactical kicking, hardly any point in bulding up to and taking drop goals as its worth a point. It removes all the intricacies of the game and the incredibly technical side of it, because even if you watch it all your life you'll still struggle to understan every aspect of it, its way to complex at the breakdown. Instead in league a guy rams into a line of defenders, gets grounded they back off and somebody else rams into them, they back off and repeat for 5 goes then swap. Obviously you get the odd passing move or great run, but the majority of the game is butting into a defenders who hold you down, ball through the legs and the next guy does the same. They have produced some cracking players though like Offiah, Hanley and Robinson and if the first two had done what Robinson had and switched to union at some point it'd have been great to see them play union, they'd have went down as legends in both forms. But, it would be boring if everybody agreed on everything, there wouldn't be much point in these forums! See that's what I find makes union boring. Scrums take fucking ages, in Union it's just a few dafties and they play, there's more of a non stop feel to it. Batley v Halifax on Sky last night was a more interesting game than I've seen in union for money years.

You're spot on there, Stevie. We really should feel lucky in a way, I suppose. Luckily Raleigh have been donating second hand bikes for years to the developing World to try to eradicate this very thing. If that was Shola raleigh or nee raleigh he'd be fucked.

When Freddie Fletcher came in, in 1991 our turnover was £4.6m. So your company is bigger than NUFC were then.

Well you're radge.

I think 99% of people on here lead a priveledged life compared to most people in the world. There'll be an Indian in a field somewhere getting chased of tigers in a field trying to farm some land for 2p a day, and there's more of them than there are us, who moan about base rates going up etc.. That's how I look at it. Even having the internet is a luxury we naturally seem to expect.

a wrongun if Ive ever seen one I did, I was of sound mind and I chose Sunderland. You know why? Mainly because it was fucking cheap But also much of the competition is North Tyneside and some Team Valley so I pick up a fair bit of trade counter sales this side saving engineers the journey through the tunnel etc. It's not all bad, every time we beat them I get to come here looking smug as owt What's ya annual turnover/profit margins [/noseytwat] Last year our t/o was £5.5M. GP% is around 16% and Net% around 2.7 on basic trading before adjustment (bad debts, depreciation, stock write off blah blah). ...and it's your company? This time next year...... Aye it is. Why don't you buy a BMW then like most rich people do? Hang on, what makes you think Im rich? I take a wage / dividend but nowt daft. No point in bleeding the company. £5.5m t/o 16% GP. That's £850k GP. You have to be paying yourself £100,000 p/a surely!?!? Do you need a BDM?

Is there anyone on here with a good knowledge of cancer?

I'd love to knaa where it is.

you will be disagreeing with me for the next 4 year again, until someone else says exactly the same thing and you pretend you have always thought this. You're an utter idiot. I agree with all of the stuff you put in that big post. All of it. I have to say though a lot of the time mancmag isn't disagreeing with you, and shares similar views it just gets lost in translation somewhere.

That derby is sensational If I ever win the lottery I'm gonna build a statue of him at Cowgate roundabout with that very pic in statue form. Nice touch adding toontastic on his pc

I've got a hangowa ffs. My spelling is better than J69's, who's got more degrees than proctractor.

Well in any betting event there's always a shock outsider result occurs sometimes. Anyway Craig, take care wor kid, I know what this type of thing feels like and there's a sense of injustice flowing through your veins that this has happened to you. You should sew them for emotional damages too.

I'm going for a bit like Renton (trainspotting) but in the usual chav get up of baseball cap, shitty lacoste garb and some trackbottoms I'm going for one kid that looks like Sanchez Watt, and another who looks like a chubbier Danny Simpson. What a surprise. Wait and see what he says

I wish you could get a bet on at the bookies as to what they look like.

When Setanta won the rights to the Premiership they had a show on a Friday on for about 90 minutes previewing the next days game, and the star man was Sir Les Ferdinand. There was no massive indication things weren't generally ok at that point other than the Milner rumours, and he said things are about to get cataclysmic at NUFC, without saying he'd spoken to anyone directly, and at the time I thought pipe down a bit Les, he was sadly right. LM is a much better bloke than people give him credit for, and this isn't a dig as he was right all along about Ashley, but I don't want to cause a row, I think his opinion was based on the fact he was fucking devastated FFS was no longer there, Ashley wasn't FFS, and a hunch, nothing else. I don't see how anyone could've known what a cunt Ashley would be in those very early days.

replace them with muslims, asylum seekers, and terrorists. Or all three. Asylum seekers who are genuine can stay till it's safe to pack them off home, same with muslims who have British values, but the rest I agree, put scousers and charvers from the London riots all together on the same island. Fuck me we'd have to buy Greenland for them at this rate.

Little mugs. They'll be dead soon don't worry, I think you've dealt with this courageously Craig, it's only natural you'd think you could've done more, but well done I say you put up a fight and not knowing what weapons they had is showing courage in itself. They're shit human beings don't deserve to live as far as I'm concerned. Were they black or scrawny little North London Vinny Jones type mugs?

If you took the word the out of the quoted bit, you might be a bit nearer the truth.

I'll leave them to Jedward Anyone that would wear them is making a statement to people who don't know them that they are a mug.

Would be a better one if the Halls and the Shepherds still had control though eh?
