You're not wrong. Don't mind that song in small doses, but when it's on tv and radio every twenty minutes it gets a bit repetitive.

It's times like this desk calenders come into their own.

First album really decent, and I wouldn't say owt like Madness. Specials if anything, second album, not so good. Also canny live. He's dropped a clanger going on big brother though, hard to take anyone seriously after signing up to that.

Humble chap. Butlins is shut for the winter and he's at a loose end more likely.

Plumpton

No conicidence players like him end up playing for about a dozen clubs in their careers. However if he felt like picking a fight with Jenas when he's back at Spurs and knocking the little bastard's head off his shoulders, I'd happily buy him a non alcoholic beverage.

The man can do no wrong in my eyes. Anyone that manages to wind Alan Hansen up as much as he does deserves a medal. To say I'm not a Hansen fan is a bit of an understatement, so he'd be up the top of my list. Preening coward who gives it the big one but bottled the chance to go into management himself.

Hard to top some of the names already mentioned. Don't agree with all of them, but for the most part. . . Bit unfair not having Sunderland players being eligible though, Gordon Armstrong would be a certainty otherwise. I'll add someone who was on our 'coaching' staff though, Dean Saunders. He was always a nasty, horrible bastard.

You can't go wrng with a bit of 80's cheese like aha, and that latest song of theirs doing the rounds is pretty catchy.

Not much of a motorsport fan myself, but I was interested reading that too. No mean feat to do it on both sides of the atlantic in different types of racing.

Johann Cryuff - amazing player Peter Beardsley - complete legend Michael O'Neill - my favourite when I was a bairn and starting to watch Newcastle.

I think they're absolutely superb, real breath of fresh air and in this case all the hype is justified.

I reckon Prince Charles could be a lively dark horse bet. Not exactly a spring chicken, and now he can get his end away with his bird whenever he likes, got to be a decent chance of heart failure while he's nuts deep.

What's so 'exciting' about them like? I like them but they're just your standard 4-piece rock band playing pop aren't they? some clever Lyrics. It seems to me people are believing the hype. I'd say to be exciting you need to do something new, like Lightning Bolt or Antony and the Johnsons. 73356[/snapback] Well all about opinions obviously. But, they're fresh, they've got brilliant lyrics and tunes, and there's a real (justified) buzz about them. They are starting to get the hype by the bandwagon merchants I agree, but I've known about them for a while now and they've always been this good.

If I was getting a vid like this, i'd want it to be from someone who knew what they were doing, like a professional fitness coach for example. Not something by a stupid reality tv 'star' or footballers bint.

I think they're absolutely brilliant, most exciting band I've heard for a long time.

Not at all. Just won't have clowns like you spouting shit without pulling them up on it. Have a nice christmas and new year though.

110 years though, didn't realise it had been going as long as that.

Lots of memories about my Dad sending down the newsagents on a saturday teatime to go and get the Pink for him, and some sweets for myself for going. Favourite ever Pink memory, after Quinny's four goal debut against Leeds in 1989, nearly being home but seeing the Chronny van pull in with the Pinks, and buying one. Magic day that

Prefab Sprout were signed to Kitchenware records in Newcastle (same as Editors at the moment). But Renton, howay lad, there's no band better than Prefab Sprout! I've heard of Mr Stephenson as well.

Of course it's not, but you're happy to see other English teams get bigger are you? Amazing 68919[/snapback] They deserved it, I'm more concerned about Newcastle getting it right than using spurious arguments like that. As far as I'm concerned you're talking shite. 68928[/snapback] Oh, well I must be then I'd love it for Newcastle to be the biggest team in the world, and win everything; but because that's not happening, I'd rather it not get harder and harder to succeed because the teams around us are getting bigger. Don't you mind when rivals succeed then? As far as I'm concerned you've got your head stuck up your arse. 68930[/snapback] More shite from you, just fuck off and die you cunt.

It's my place's one on Wednesday. I'm so keen not to go, I've booked a trip abroad specially.

Good luck to liverpool winning it last year. And it's daft to trot out this they got more revenue than us, so it's a bad thing bollocks. It's not their fault Newcastle underachieved and mismanaged on and off the pitch last season.

Nice to see the old loafing standards are being maintained with such aplomb. Alex - good work fella.
