Anth Lormor (not Howey) and Darren Jackson on the right. No...both wrong and to be fair I don't think either played for the first team...

Did anyone ever sort this out? because it's been confirmed on the facebook page where these piccies are coming from....I won't let the cat of the bag if someone wants to hazard a guess as to who's sharing the water with Mira and Davey....

See how many I can get Top Row - Wharton, Gazza, Tinnion, Stephenson, Jeff Wrightson (?), Anderson Middle Row - nee idea, Martyn Thomas, McDonald, Whitehurst, Cunningham, Jeff Clarke, Allon, Kelly, Dekka Wright Front Row - Bailey, Ferris, Peter, McFaul, Roeder, Davey Mac, Iain Stewart, Is the coach on the left Colin Suggett? I think he was caretaker when McFaul got sacked.

China to veto by 22:01 ?? Surprisingly no, China and Russia didnt use their veto, so it looks very much theyre going to go for a no fly zone....to start with.....

Aye good lad. Most poorly supported club to reach the European Cup/Champions League Final? Malmo or possibly PSV, they're certainly two of the smallest cities to have a finalist...Reims is a good shout as well though...

you got a copy didn't you ? I was kidding, I meant the 2nd one. I haven't picked up a copy of with Clough yet although I keep meaning to borrow Midds' one as he managed to get hold of one. it was me who told him about it and gave him the link. There are copies available. I had it in paperback originally but got a hardback copy a few years ago for about 3 quid or something. I've just looked for the Gary Imlach and there are loads on ebay. The "With Clough" book is extensively quoted in "Why England Lose" http://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-England-Lose-p...d/dp/0007301111 when they discuss transfers. Taylor identified the talent mostly and Clough made the call as to when their time is up etc...Kenny Burns was an overweight drunk gambler at Birmingham City. C & T turned him into a European Cup winner and footballer of the year in 78 or 79, about 6 months before they sold him to Leeds for a huge profit and he didnt acheive anything in his career after that. The book compares C & T at Forest very favourably with the regime at Lyon in France, who until recently had been among the best teams in Europe for the best part of a decade.

At the risk of creating a quote-a-thon from Leazes and his band of fellow gibbering nutters, theres an interview with Olivier Bernard in the Journal, according to this article from TOTT, but I couldnt find it on the ic newcastle website. Anyway he has some very interesting (although wholly unsurprisisng) opinions about the what happened at the club in the aftermath of the SBR regime. TOTT won't let me copy and paste it either, petty fuckers http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/main/s70/st167040.htm Just to say, it's 8 years ago today since Olivier played probably the biggest game of his career in the San Siro. Changed days now like....

I missed that what did he say?

Don't know what you're complaining about OBG, we got him for nowt didn't we?

McNamee came from Celtic I think. He started at Celtic and went to Hibs where we got him from in 1966.....Ferguson was playing for St Johnstone and Dunfermline around then so he very likely did play against each other....whether either were scared of each other I think it would be difficult to say.... Alex Ferguson, in his book, says that McNamee was built like a man-mountain and after one scuffle/disagreement they had, he sneaked out of the ground because he thought McNamee was waiting for him. This is when he played for Rangers, or Dunfermline as PaddockLad says, I think McNamee was playing for Hibs at that time. Anyway, this is the book, which is very good, one of the best. he mentions him here http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/foo...icle5026752.ece Good read that Leazes....and I read the fergie book yonks ago, but can't remember much about it, maybe time for a another look at it. The best book I've read about football, actually one of the best books I've ever read is this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Father-Other-Worki...s/dp/0224072676 Gary Imlach used to do the American Football on Ch4. It's like a tribute to his old man, who played for Forest when they won the cup in 59 and for Scotland at the world cup in 58. Think it won the "best sports book award" a few years back.

imagine being put in the seat next to that cunt....I'd rather watch the match perched next to Peter Sutcliffe....

http://www.true-faith.co.uk/tf/editorials....72?OpenDocument He's done time and was bombed out of Southampton because of it. There were issues last season (he basically disappered for most of the second half of the season from the squad) Beginning to think he may be more trouble than he's worth. Sorry, but do you have anything else other then his past crimes and some shit rumour to go on? No I don't m'lud It's an internet forum, it's designed to circulate unsubstantiated rumour and tittle tattle. Also one eyed and completely uninformed opinion, coupled with bigoted sweeping generalistions. Glad to be of service

V Exeter in the cup, which I think was 81. One each. Got beat in the replay. Didn't go to that, had double maths first thing the next day

No lets fuck off down the pub to watch the Arsenal game

Like Roy Keane? He was probably meaning the likes of Veron, who for me was a great player,but didnt do much at manu. Probably because Keane was still around. a couple of good seasons out of Caddick, but he looks finsished at the top level now, going by Sundays performance. Fletcher came through the ranks, and is a good but not great player, funny how he can't get a run in the big games this season. Anderson, doubt if he'll "train on" tbh after lots of early promise. Thing is, for one of the biggest games of the season on Sunday, Fergie started with Giggs and Scholes, neither of whom has he adquetly replaced yet. And Fergie likely won't get the chance to now due to the Glazer's debt. Owen Hargreaves fits perfectly Newcastle's transfer policy at the moment, signing injured players on a free. Anyone know whats happened to Gosling? oh and Stephen Ireland, what went on with him last week?

I signed up for a couple of months - I only managed to get back to the comedian on my Dad's side - he was born in 1863 so beyond that you're down to parish records which are a nightmare. My surname is reasonably rare as was my Grandmother's maiden name so it wasn't that hard but my Mam's maiden name and her Mam's maiden name are both too common to allow much detail. Unfortunately the only remaining source for data was my Auntie who died before I started. One thing I noticed for those who preach about "better morality" in days of yore - both my Mam and Dad's parents' wedding dates were less than 9 months before the birth of their first kid (One was my Mam and the other my Dad's elder brother) so both were "shotgun" marriages. Maybe the difference was that they did get married (and both had long marriages as it happens). Doesn't bother me in the slightest of course. Aye, I think we look back at previous generations still with, in a very wierd way, a hangover from Victorian/Edwardian "moral values", which were apparently only on the surface if you look into it as you have done. The other phrase that strikes me about this is "every generation thinks that they invented sex" which has probably been a truism since the year dot, as Kevin seems to be illiustrating on here from time to time "Who do you think you are" for me is often a really interesting programme. Spike Lee was on the other night and he found out he was very likely a distant grandson of a white plantation owner in Georgia! Don't think he was too impressed with that. The best one though was when Alexander Armstrong was informed he was decended from the Hanorvarian kings of the 18th century (mad King George & co) and thus could trace his direct family line back to William the Conquerer...the look on the blokes face was priceless, he had to sit down to take it all in.

So did our lass, bit longer than 5 minutes though with 6 peeps to fill in. I said to her, in 100 years from now your great, great, great etc grand daughter will be researching this. I did a bit on Ancestry.co.uk a while ago - I found that my paternal great-grandfather who was originally from Berwick met his wife who was Cumbrian in Barrow in Furness before they moved to Jarra in about 1895. For the last 2 or 3 censuses his occupation was down as a steam mechanic or boiler worker so I assume he worked in a shipyard but for one of them (1891 I think) I'm sure his occupation was given as "Ethiopian Comedian" - I assumed it was a typo or the "Jedi" answer of the day as I'm sure he wasn't African Am keen on doing my mother's family as we know nothing about them, apart from her own mother's maiden name was Concannon, which if we're like most of the folk on "who do you think you are", is likely to be shorthand for the potato famine and lots of grief. Did you use the 14 day free trial on ancestry? what option did you go for after that and how far back did it get you?

Looks like Torres might be a bit of a Shevchenko.....brought in by Abramovich and quite possibly about as popular in the changing room as a fart in a spacesuit,. with his form suffering accordingly Imagine an owner dictating who came into the club...wouldn't happen here like....

Some Pinot Grigio / Pinot Gris is really nice but I think it's just most British drinkers like bland shite so that's what most of the stuff you get here is (same reason Carling, Fosters etc is so popular). i just recently discovered dry reisling. like a lot of brits, i naively thought all reislings were sweet and nasty but it's actually an absolutley lush grape. really minerally and crisp with some citrus fruits in there. about £10 a bottle for a good one mind so not cheap but well worth trying if you haven't already.

fuckin hell has his carer got the night off?

No shinpads or did Carrgher's studs make them disintergrate?...if you look at his other leg it really looks like he's not wearing any at all, which,when I played, was against the rules. Officials dont check things like that anymore, which may have kept him in the game, silly fucker. They tend to use the ones without straps and just stick tape above and below them. If there was anything there at all I don't think it would've caused that gash in the middle of the shin tbh. Doesn't excuse the tackle, as someone said earlier R Taylor was sent off for something similar.
