  1. Been saying that for ages. Certain people's bans would be pretty much permanent, the amount of bullshit they report, pisses me off more than almost anything else.
  2. Is it like the law there that the commentator has to say: GGGGGOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no matter how good or crap the goal actually is?
  3. Ok, I suppose Shearer's arguable, but name me one other. Tino Asprilla. So, is that the Tino Asprilla I've already mentioned, or a different one?
  4. Bless you. 195804[/snapback] Forgive my innebriated state. 195807[/snapback] No problem, thanks for getting me two posts closer to my next attempt to get a decent score on the gem game. If you so much as go near Jewel Quest i'll just up the high score to over a million. I only stopped the last time because i had to go produce a big curly steamer. I am the Jewel Quest legend. I see you've sabotaged the arcade in a desperate attempt to prevent me from taking your crown.
  5. Stopped reading right there tbh. Too many long words? Too many stupid sentiments Ho-ho, how droll.
  6. Stopped reading right there tbh. I know, plastic tbh It was fucking heart-breaking man. Still is. The bit of fondness comes from the fact that the football we played was excellent and also that we were unlucky to lose against Liverpool, then, as now, one of the best teams in the league. I suppose you prefer losing 2-1 at home to Fulham, eh, alex!?! As for plastic, well you can shove that up your arse.

  8. The question I'm asking is not: Can we be successful again or play decent football again. It's: Could a team like that, play like that, and be successful?

  10. When people think back to the Keegan days, they think of good, flowing, attacking football, of a team that simply overwhelmed the vast majority of its opposition with wave, after wave, of attacks. I think of beating ManU 5-0 and Phillipe Albert scoring that goal, I even look back on those 4-3 defeats at Anfield with bit of fondness now. But could it happen again? At any club, let alone NUFC!?! If you think about it there are some quite unusual things about those sides, for example: Well the first and most obvious one is the playing style, no-one plays like that anymore, no-one played like that then for fuck's sake!! All-out attack, an "if you score one, we'll score two" type of attitude, it was, and still is, unique. The closest you'll get to it is Arsenal when they really click, and even then it's not the same. Also, the team was made up primarily of hardworking, reasonably talented players, but few of them were world-stars and none, with the possible exception of Tino, could be considered trophy signings. Yet together they formed one of the most exciting and effective attacking forces in world football. So could it be done again? Or has modern football changed too much for this type of formula to be successful? Would you want to see it again? And finally, what was the secret ingredient, the catalyst, that made it work in the first place?
  11. Alright then, I'll have a think.
  12. Need to get some toner for mine, then I will have a huge picture of Rab C Nesbit, to... ...erm... ...file away in some box, or something.
  13. Which one's yours then?

  15. And I was watching the legend that was Arthur Lee, performing the whole of Forever Changes at Glastonbury, earlier. RIP Arthur, but at least I got to see you live before you popped your cloggs.
  16. 195703[/snapback] "You pull my intestines out with that stick again and I'm going to kick your arse!!"
  17. How am I supposed to defend my titles?
  18. Alright Parks I just kind of opened my mouth and spewed forth onto my keyboard really - metaphorically speaking of course. I noticed that you'd obviously not thought about what you were saying to your usual extent, it was nowhere near as esoteric as normal. Having fun over here, by the way? I'm going to have to look in here more often, if threads like this are the norm.
