So would I.... but he did shag my mates daughter in Cardiff the night before the semi v manu in 2005 so he does have form for being tasteless....

Well no, but deciding whether to give someone who may or may not have been an "insurgent " medical treatment is morally, if not legally, a grey area and iyam this will be difficult to prove in a court of law so its going to military court. And the locals in Afghanistan and Iraq are/were overwhelmingly treated with the milk of human kindness by UK troops. It would be for the greater good of all those deployed if this prosecution didnt go ahead. Indisputable evidence of the other stuff you mention is different, and has been dealt with. No thanks to Piers Morgan like, but there you go...lots of different agendas going on..

He says if you call him a soldier again he'll hunt you down a kill you...he's asked me to point out to you that he was a ROYAL MARINE!! How do you think this potential prosecution will affect not only future recruitment but also every single serviceman/woman currently deployed to a warzone? I dont happen to support the "war on terror", these training camps were wildly over emphasised by Bush in 2002, but if our elected politicians deem it acceptable to send people to fight in these places, then I think they should receive our full support. That means not prosecuting things that happen in a war zone. Its a war, bad things happen. Someones looking to make a name for themsleves over this, the marine who owned the laptop is a dead man walking and those being prosecuted are now thought likely to be court martialled rather than tried in civil courts. In other words, a right fuckin mess.

Someones leaving Ant. Fuck knows if a defender is coming in but theres got to be a midfielder leaving.

Someone claimed yesterday that Anita was Tiote's replacement...is this lad Cabyae's?...

Toulouse. And the Daily Mail are reporting it... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2224649/Moussa-Sissoko-agrees-join-Newcastle.html?ito=feeds-newsxml Fits the bill....young, French and according to his Wiki can play about 12 posistions on the pitch.. navigation, search Moussa Sissoko Personal information Full name Moussa Sissoko Date of birth (1989-08-16) 16 August 1989 (age 23) Place of birth Le Blanc-Mesnil, France Height 1.87 m (6 ft 2 in) Playing position Midfielder Club information Current club Toulouse Number 22 Youth career 1995–1999 Espérance Aulnay 1999–2001 Red Star FC 2001–2003 Espérance Aulnay 2003–2007 Toulouse Senior career* Years Team Apps† (Gls)† 2007– Toulouse 168 (19) National team‡ 2005 France U16 2 (0) 2005–2006 France U17 9 (2) 2006–2007 France U18 8 (0) 2007–2008 France U19 7 (0) 2008–2011 France U21 20 (1) 2009– France 5 (0) * Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only and correct as of 22 April 2012. † Appearances (Goals). ‡ National team caps and goals correct as of 16 October 2012 Moussa Sissoko (born 16 August 1989) is a French football player who plays for French club Toulouse in Ligue 1.

I think they expected him to leave in the summer, and Tiote. Thats why we're piddling around not playing the system that suits our midfielders best. Some very good points on here post game, were we in 4th last season at this point because Chelsea and Arsenal were under acheiveing? more than likely. Thing is we hadnt needed to play brilliantly top get 4th, just be competant and beat those who we had a good chance of beating. Like yesterday. I still think we have it in us to go on a run like we did last spring, and theres still the chance we could get someone like Brighton in the cup and get put out in the 3rd round. So I don't think hardly anything has changed. Don't know whats going to happen with Demba in January, but I think whatever it is will shape and define the rest of the season.

Yeah thats the other side of the coin. But that statement does accept that we should be in Afghanistan to prevent them setting up training camps there, which old whats his name seems to think isnt required, despite evidence of the Taliban/ Al Qaeda tie up before 9-11. So if we're in there, this stuff will happen. Its a war. Its tricky to say the least. But from what my mate says theres not a jury in the land consisting predominantly of white English people that wont laugh this out of court, which does rather make it look a bit of a fools errand. You could accuse him of bias, but he's got a first in Criminology too. He's ferociously intelligent and he's made me think again about a lot of things. We'll see if he's right.

You shouldnt be so colloquial in your thinking old son....look at Afghanistan on the map, then look at Iraq, then look at the country which seperates them. I can be pretty right on myself, but sharing a desk with an ex sergeant in 40 Commando often disarms me of such trendy notions. Its the old " a few good men" argument....the human rights we and others in the errr "free world" enjoy are upheld by drone attacks. War is an abnormal situation, and whatever happened and whoever it happeend to, its hardly going to be a very good recruiting tool if marines are prosecuted for what they did or didnt do, and that could be very bad for us all if the shit was truly to hit the fan.

err...what about the rest of what I said?...does none of that come into it and you just feel the players "really need to sort themselves out" ?......best to judge the season as a whole and not just on a bad trot of games. We've not performed to the standards we set last spring, thats for sure. Did we play better or worse today than we did when Brighton put us out of the cup last season?...fuckin Brighton man! Today wasnt great but this season still holds a lot of promise, theres no need for kneejerking iyam. West Brom are decent, but they couldnt finish us off despite us being shite.

So you saw us get relegated only 3 years ago then? was today as bad as a two dozen games that season?....we've got Europe this season, an owner who signed nobody and as youve said one or two who arent playing as they were after January last season. . We were iffy till early spring if you remember then we went on a good run. We'll see what the window brings and how we go in the cup. We were shite today and West Brom were unlucky, but some perspective is needed.

Fuckin stitch that frank skinner!

You lot haven't been watching NUFC for very long We've been poor like but steady on.....

My stream froze....who came off with shola?

Can't say that wasn't coming..on this showing they're a good side west brom but wtf was shola doing?

Lukaku will score one of these....clean through again, krul bats it away again...think Clarke has read us well...hit us on the break etc...

And Wimbledon 88 score!

That's the shola we know and love....

Brilliant save by krul... West brom lad clean through one on one...

We're the better side just need a goal...demba unlucky twice after santons shot....cheers to lovethebobby for "services rendered"

anyone want to send a pm to me detailing their current favourite babbling brook?....cheers!

Best half of football I've seen this season...not top quality football as such, but this sort of game is why the world wants to watch the premier league.

Well if Moyes wants to wind him up in the build up what the fuck do people expect? It may be a bit tasteless but it is the very essence of football.....shoving peoples words right back down their throat with a goal or a good result. Of course if Everton go on to win this he's going to look a bit daft... Edit: looks like Suarez may have the last laugh...
