Drop Shola but tell Carroll that he has to score or he drops him.

Few sides in the draw we'd be delighted to draw at home. Fair play to the lass in the club shop, they got free bets and she said she hoyed it all on an away win. Was in getting mine and our little un's ben arfa tops. Our lass got a sexy pink t-shirt thing. Canny day

CT clearly mortal at the bar, shouting to no-one in particular about Shola.

I have a beard when am on holiday, cant be arsed to shave when i have to every day at work. And not that its anyone's business but as me and our lass work full time, when she goes back in November we need to do something with the baby. Applied to the local creches but they are all full. The only other option for a working couple is sharing a day-care assistant with another couple. We found one 4 doors away who will look after ours with another boy. Nothing unusual about that, thats what all working couples with kids do.

Dont worry Rents, when i was younger i got my dad to put one of these in my bedroom at home. He reckoned it was a canny odd 35th birthday present tbf.

Well we played like shit last weekend but if we play like we did against Villa and Wolves we might catch Everton in the mood we were in against Blackpool, if you follow me. In which case a draw would be nice.

Beckford Mind, if DJ Campbell can score against us, any fucker can.

As relevant today as it was then. Biting social commentary tbh.

It is amazing like and it's only for a relatively short period of time too I think (in Cosmic terms) because the Moon's gradually moving away from the Earth. It's also worth mentioning that the Moon has been important to the development of life on Earth because, due to its size and proximity to Earth, (I think anyway) it's allowed the Earth maintain a very steady orbit around the Sun thus not subjecting the planet to extremes in temperature. Also, I think I read / heard a theory that the Earth and Moon were formed after the collision of two other planetary bodies. Isn't it possible that we're finding these coincidences and attributing more value to them, simply because we like for there to be reason and order to the nature of things? It's like the people who try to "decode" the Bible and find that if you take every 173rd letter, the sentence reads "People who stand to wipe are basically inviting carnage"? That theory has been poo-pooed.

There's a funny 'movie pitch' in the prologue to Iain Banks latest book about Alien tourists coming to witness it. "You want to know how to find an Alien? Look for inappropriately-dressed people at the back of the crowd watching an eclipse"

Does anyone know the probability that the moon would be the exact size and distance from the earth and the sun to create a perfect eclipse and give us the solar corona? The chances of that must be very small and the chances of there being conscious being to experience, appreciate, and develop awe and wonder at the universe (when seen centuries ago), must be quite small. The most fascinating phenomena in this corner of the universe along with the development of beings to witness it.

I never use auto-sync. Surely your music collection is bigger than 30gb? Anyway, it might take a fair few minutes but surely to restore the previous set-up takes just one click of the mouse? Thats the point in the function.

Gemmill, manc-mag, JawD and DKN all replying in a Kevin thread. He must feel like Spider out of Goodfellas.

I wouldnt wipe my arse on that rag tbh. You wouldnt tear the pages out, you'd just shove the big leather bound version once down the back and you'd be off without washing your hands.

A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that standers were 3 times more likely to develop piles and twice as likely to get fissures.

Pretty much agree with that. Yes, SJH done wonders for this club. As LM points out, we were sinking fast before SJH took over. But, its also correct that we were again sinking at the end of Shepherds reign. Each year it felt we were slowly dropping to hit relegation. I doubt Ashley will ever hit the heights that the previous bunch did, but then the league is a very different place now. when we were promoted with KK at the helm, the league was nowhere near the quality it is now. I dont think Ashley is a patch on SJH, but lets not think SJH done it for the love either. He could see what Ashley cannot. that by making a successful club he could get back his investment several fold. It is a gamble though as you are not the only club trying that. I think our gamble failed when we were put out of the Champions League by Partizan. I don't think it's a case of that mind, it's more of a case that it'd have took a hell of a lot more to get us back to europe when Ashley took over than what it cost Hall to do it. Remember there wasn't competition for the top 4 spots back then because the whole top 4 champions league incentive was introduced whilst we were already up there. complete myth. Clubs have ALWAYS wanted to finish as high as possible, play in europe, etc etc....and players gave it 100% just like any other time in the history of the game. Nah I disagree to an extent. Players dont always give 100%. You need the right manager, club atmosphere and so on for that. Plus, lets say we were just promoted like back then with SJH. We couldnt compete. SJH has even said so himself that he could see where the game was going. Spending £15M on Shearer was big time back then, now its buttons to most clubs. SJH was a bit like a Jack Walker, but these are not a patch on what Chelsea and City have. Plus as has been pointed out, the Premiership wasnt the attraction then as it is now. At the same time though the money to be reaped from that investment was nowt compared to now. Not sure. If MA done well could he re-float the club? Not sure how that works. If he could, then surely that would be the way forward for him? Equity doesnt have to be sold publicly, one way to raise funds is sell a % of the club but the price would be better with no debt.

Put us down for a teenth.

Whats all this about?

I feel sorry for people like this.

You got his email? And for the grand a month does the day nurse breast feed you as well? 9 hours a day, 20 days a month is only a 5-a an hour. Minimum wages and all that. The cleaner does 10 hours a month for 120!! If someone wants my mate's contact details, pm me and i will send you his profile page on his company's website. "Y'areet mate, chez off toontastic says you might be wanting a gardener" will get your foot in the door (well in the garden shed to be excact) I'm not after the gardening job you cheeky cunt, I just wondered if I knew (of) him via a friend and it was the same person. Chez getting very elitest since engaging the services of a nanny tbh. He's based in London, was at uni with him but he's not a north-easterner. Canny lad though, gans mental on the persians in the wrong way, always had an eye for a good deal, whether legit or not. I was replying to Sammy anyway

You're old though, so it would. Being old is an advantage when it comes to Ibiza, got to experience it before it was ruined. You'll never know what it was like.

I've got a Portuguese cleaner and a Belgian day nurse for the baby (who starts in November). The only thing i do before the cleaner comes is put the weed away. Its going to be just under a grand a month for the two of them but i claim 20ish% tax back against it. Am bourgeosie though, not middle class. Nothing compared to mate in England who just bought a house that was on the market for 25m for 9m. He's just advertised for a gardener, 50k a year!!!
