I wont be dragged into this again.

My Dad used to call Indian restaurant waiters Eric as a 'joke'. Think this must be where he got it from.

Aye, wanted to come here but Llambias fucked it up. 2J was telling me some kid on N-O managed to speak to Moses or got a voicemail from him. Personally I think that's all bollocks, I think he just wanted PL footie straight away. He's already going on about a full england call up in the papers. Came direct from the agent. Probably to do with wage demands at the end of the day.

Indeed. We dont need to invest that much money, we obviously need significant investment in midfield in the event we do get promoted (no chickens being counted here though) but the one thing he could do relatively easily is bring in a top class manager. Doubt it will happen though for the obvious reasons.

I heard the reason we didnt get Moses was because of Dekka.

I had a 8GB Touch and got a bit frustrated at its size. I now have the 16GB phone and tis perfect. Lots of music, apps and a few GB spare.

Did the person compiling the foreign language films have difficulty telling the difference between the name of a country and the name of a film?

A Klansman talking shit?

Terry has always been a dodgy hasnt he? Since the days of bottling doormen on camera when he was about 19.

Wrong thread like...

He's uptight about what happenned to his Nigerian mate and seems fairly clueless about the workings of security services in England. It was precisely the open house and tolerance that kept violence off our mainland from Nazi Islam for two decades. I didnt want the thread to go cold.

There are many different ways to be passionate about something, some can be negative some can be positive. Passion is just a way of describing how people express themselves, in the past people were not more or less passionate and the source of the passion was about the same (for Newcastle in particular there is a regional element that incorporates being a geordie). Something has changed though across the game. When i look at the face of modern football i see a lot of 'disgruntled' fans, 'protesting' against their owners and 'lamenting' the lack of success on the pitch. Why should that be so prevalent at all levels of the game since there is only one winner at the top of the tree? People just like a whinge? Or modern life teaches us that with minimal effort our wants and desires can be met? In which case, football is a beautiful yet unfortunate metaphor for the injustices, corruptions and disappointments of 'real life' (ie the life we have tried to insulate ourselves from materially and psychologically). This creates a tension between our expectations and what we recieve, which in turn leads to unhappiness and dissatisfaction. If you talk about expectations you get shot down though 'how dare you not share my expectations and therefore anger at us not winning, you clearly dont care about the club'. Its the simplest badge of honour to wear these days, 'if you are not as angry as me that we arent winning then you dont care'. So people are still passionate, its just now its the passion of disappointment, of anger and of throwing used season ticket books onto the pitch in a symbolic gesture. I know having such a massive cunt as a chairman complicates this issue but this malaise in football is everywhere and not everyone has a Mike Ashley

rather see carroll trot off tbh I hope that's the reason we signed Best.

I'd employ you in a Jeff Vetere type of role. No decent manager in their right mind would take the job with Ashley there something "Lawro" mentioned last night and its' true. Jeff Vetere?? I think you'd have a light touch with the foreign lads.

Used to love that as a kid too. Made a note of that

Stevie.

Yeah, was going to reply 'the airport' but it was too facetious.

One of the most productive transfer windows for a long time. For me that is, its been that uninspiring, i've actually done a decent amount of work today.

So true.

As in the German sausage?

In this day and age, thats substantive evidence for putting a bid in.

Watched the 7 ages of Britain, then switched over for that, was an excellent performance from Walters and quite sad too.

I know, great isn't it, Coventry, fucking COVENTRY CITY, a fuckin place that should've been just abandoned after Hitler finished with it, booing him. This is incredulous, Leon Best Newcastle number 9. He probably will be number 9 too as no one has that shirt. Was a beautiful city before Hitler fucked it, they deserve sympathy not scorn.
