    My brothers in that :(

     

    He was at the same college as John Davidson in the mid 80's and can be seen in the background a couple of times.

     

    Another lad from our old school features heavily.....Beebs (as in "fuck off Beebs ya fat cunt!!" ;) ) was in the year below me.

  2. I'll tell you when you can judge whether Gerrard is the best player in his posistion.....if and when this summer he is the outstanding player in a successful (semis?) England team. He has to be far more disciplined when playing for Cappello than when he tries to carry a piss poor Liverpool side on his own, with only Torres to give the ball to. For me england a bit Spain lite at the moment...thats how Cappello wants them to play, bit has he got a Xavi, Iniesta and Fabregas to do the job in the centre of the park?

     

    The same could be said of Lampard and Rooney, but they are surrounded by better players at their clubs. Stevie's right in a way, Gerrard sticks out like a sore thumb becuase of the (relative) mediocrity surrounding him.

  3. Can someone explain to me how and why a club which was unsellable 2 months ago at 80 million will somehow (promotion permitting) may well be worth worth a reported 150 million in 5 months time with the same players and a major rebuilding job required? It just doesnt make any sense.

     

    In saying that now is the time for any buyer who is tempted to come in...promotion looking more than likely and they apparently wouldnt have to pay nearly twice as much as the club as they wouldve done a couple of months back....but I'm not holding my breath ;)

  4. You've got to love people who take comedy far too seriously like.

     

    To be fair Jonny, he's made a living by stealing other peoples material. Wouldn't you hold a musician or a novelist accountable for plagiarism? Why not a comedian?

     

    End of the day comedy is a business like most others and stealing a joke is the same as stealing a song.

     

    So where is all the evidence for Peter Kay being the worlds biggest gag thief? ;)

     

    First I've heard of it. I'd say Max and Paddy wasnt as funny as Phoenix nights, but as mentioned Spikey and the other bloke weren't involved in the writing. And Spikey was the only reason to watch 8 out of 10 cats so it could be said that Kay isnt as funny without him, but it sounds as if you'd hang the bloke for the heinous crime of paying someone to write gags for him :(

  5. I'm in....Rage were/are great....best ever UK live music appaerance on "The Word"

     

     

    although in the spirit of Cid_MCP's post I'd quite like to see "pictures of starving children sell records" by Chumbabwumba ;)

     

     

     

     

    ps....for good measure, here's Nirvana on The Word.......the live music and the trippy visuals was the only reason to watch that bag of shit...oh and Dani Behr...whatever happened to her?

    Furious: Darren Bent

    England striker Darren Bent was furious after his mother, Shirley, said she had been racially abused before Sunderland’s 1-0 defeat at Wigan yesterday.

    A Sunderland fan is alleged to be the offender, giving rise to fears that Bent may even demand a transfer.

     

    Bent said on Twitter that the incident was an ‘absolute disgrace’ and warned: ‘I won’t stand for that.’

     

    A Sunderland spokesman said: ‘Behaviour of this kind is totally unacceptable to our football club.’

     

    Shirley Bent is understood to have stayed at the match and spoke with her son afterwards.

     

    Police in Greater Manchester and Northumbria last night launched an investigation. Inspector Michael Eddlestone said: ‘Greater Manchester Police are investigating reports that a woman was racially abused at the match.’

     

    Meanwhile, Sunderland will work with their local police to try to find the culprit.

    A Northumbria police spokesman confirmed: ‘The victim will be interviewed by us with a view to finding the offender.’

     

    Greater Manchester Police added: ‘We will use CCTV footage or whatever is necessary to find out what happened and identify the alleged offender and we will be in close contact with Northumbria Police.

     

    ‘If there is sufficient evidence against an individual, he will have to be brought down to Wigan Magistrates Court to face charges because the offence took place here.’

     

    Bent, 25, moved north from Spurs in summer for a fee that could rise to £16.5million and played for England against Brazil in Doha

  7. For all the Marlene and Guthrie doom sayers....have a look at this:

    Harewood is crucially involved twice in the build up to the goal,and Guthrie puts a great cross in. Without those two bits of good play theres no goal and it's nowts each at FT. Also Nolan was guilty of giving the ball directly to a Preston player at least 3 times in the centre of the park last night...good job Preston are ultimately wank and couldnt captilise on it.

     

    Maybe we're being hard on Harewood in particular?...is there just a bit of the Shola about him?

  8.  

    What terrifies me are the noises coming for the sportsdirect.com@St James’ Park (God how I hate that). Houghton repeats he’s only planning for promotion and nothing after that. Well the thing with that is this: The team that gets you up can’t keep you up.

     

    Certainly  given our owner’s allergic reaction to actually buying a player and there’s no way Taylor, Enrique et al will endure the second (inevitable) relegation.

     

    I dunno, but off the back of that win and more importantly that “performance” I’m pretty certain we’ll be promoted as champions and I’m convinced we’ll sink straight back down like a concrete shoed Mafia snitch unless huge changes affect our club.

     

    :D

     

    Promotion is pointless unless Ashley sells the club, and that begs the question why, seeing as there are no takers at a reported 80mill with good odds on promotion being acheived this season,would anyone pay well over the 100mill the fat bastard will undoubtedly ask for next summer should we have something to celebrate in May? The correct time to buy NUFC is NOW, before the window opens in January and before we are if/when etc promoted.

     

    I'm not holding my breath on that one though :D

  9. Went to see this lot on Thursday night....Mark E Smith looks like hes 70 odd and recovering from stroke or something...but as usual the band he's put together sounds fuckin brilliant..

     

     

     

    ps.....how do you embed the youtube videos on to here?...cheers, from an IT moron :good:

  10. I've thought about that game a few times and I wonder if, in retrospect, it would've been better to draw and drop into the Uefa Cup because we would've had a hell of a chance of winning it imo. Hard to believe it was 7 years ago as well.

    Good point I think we would have been in the final at least. Fucking Celtic got there! That toon side would've ripped them a new arsehole, Larsson or not. I think in hindsight we were very unlucky, the only game we were shit in the second group phase was Barcelona at home. Fucking Bramble.

     

    Of those games mentioned the only two I wasn't at was the 2-1 win at Roker, and Hillsborough as I wasn't born, personally I would put other games in there too. Leeds 4-3 being a definite contender.

    People always remember O'Briens goal in the 2-1 win, which was great of course, (I personally had a hand in it by putting Tim Carter off as he was lining up his wall, Liam owes me a pint!), but I'd love to see O'Briens equaliser down there the season before that, again. He lobbed Tony Norman from just outside the box and it was a fucking peach. Saw it once on Tyne-Tees on the monday after the game and it looked as mental in the Roker end on the box as it was on the day. The Roker end seemed more 'packed' that day as I think they'd given us fewer tickets than normal. when it went in the Toon fans just surged forward rather than jumped up and down. (From memory, anyway!). After the match a brick threw by some mackems down one of the side streets missed my mate by inches but hit some other oldish bloke instead.

     

    ;)

     

    That may well have been due to virtually the only decent mackem I've ever met....some lad called Barry, who sauntered up to a group of us,quite plainly ticketless, Mags and told us to go to turnstile 11 and tell the bloke that "Barry had sent you", hand over a tenner, and we'd get in.And we were far from the only ones. Cheers Barry :D

     

    As someone mentioned, Leeds 4-3 was great too, as was a week later when we won in London for the first time in 4 years or so and in beating Arsenal we were top of the league at Christmas.

     

    I'd also add beating Leeds 5-2 with Quinny getting 4 on his debut...went out that night and pulled a bird with the biggest set I'd ever seen....and I'm yet to see bigger 20 years later ;)

  11. Surely once the initial investment is used up to buy the club and clear the debts there would be enough income through ticket sales, merchandising, corporate sales and tv licensing to keep things ticking over? How do the other clubs mentioned who do it manage things?

     

    there aren't any.

     

    Ebbsfleet are non league and have a "comittee" of thousands of voters who decide everything

     

    AFC Wimbledon were sset up by a few very rich fans of Wimbledon FC who own and run the club themselves.

     

    Barecelona are a worldwide institution and the symbol of the old independant state of Catalunya who elect a president every few years who can count on massive financial backing from world renowned bodies eg UNICEF.

     

    What NUST are proposing hasnt been done before with a club our size in this country.

  12. I think it may be, for want of a better word, a "trap".

     

    Does he, for some unknowable reason, want a massive crowd reaction on Saturday to this crock of shite? I can't think of a better way to virtually guarantee one.

     

    It's the thin end of the wedge we're dealing with. Passive acceptance isn't an option. What message would that send to Ashley?
