Canny free kick by Gardner for the mackems, eat your heart out Robbie Carlos.

Nearly right.

It says Virgin Money update, not a replacement shirt. They're only going to put a sticker on it. It's the current home strip anyway regardless of sponsor.

I think you have to go a bit further for sun at this time of year.

Expensive but very very effective imo. Imagine all the press coverage, actually globally that they would receive. Now we are getting near 50,000 fans at the stadium each week, who all want to see SJP return. But how many are there out there that don't go to games? There must be hundreds of thousands of fans that would be over the moon with virgin money. If they did it, Id be more likely to use Virgin for things, more because of what they would have done for us. All football fans up and down the country (except the mackems) would feel a positive 'emotional relationshop' because of the selfless thing they would have done. Virgin Money would be the savours of tradition and heritage in football, and more in the North East. I don't know..I'm guessing that the only place that virgin sales would possibly be damaged would be Newcastle itself, which would be balanced against the increased revenue nationally/internationally from branding the stadium.

Look, I've come here for an argument!

The club are incredibly fortunate if they escape this without a reprimand. Maybe they've been threatened with one so that's why they're not appealing, although I think their continued stance on this should not be a reprieve. "We as a club are accepting this appeal because we fully back the FA's stance on stamping out racism. But our player who by his own admission repeatedly called a black man 'negro' did nothing wrong and is completely innocent." It just doesn't make sense.

Liverpool aren't going to appeal the 8 game ban, but are still maintaining Suarez is innocent, as is the player himself. Trying to do the whole 'bigger issues are at stake, we'll be the bigger man' moral high ground stuff whilst still whining like bairns. Suarez still adamant he's done nothing wrong. FFS, how many times does he have to be told you simply can't call black people 'negro' in this country. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16402384.stm

Kluivert's a bit different from Perez/Dumas/Fumaca - he wasn't some no mark we'd never heard of, he was a big name - just one that utterly failed to make an impression here.

Paul. 2nd best of the Pegg/Frost trilogy IMO (behind Hot Fuzz, I think Shaun of the Dead is okay but struggle to see why it is SO critically acclaimed.

On here the other day somebody mentioned Kluivert. It took me a while to understand the reference as I'd completely forgotten he played for us. Similarly, I lost a bet with my brother because I couldn't believe that Bellamy played for West Ham before he went to City. It's funny how famous and memorable players can have so little impact on the memories of fans. I'm sure I'll forget that Owen played for us in 6-7 years or so.

By liberating it?

Happy new year!

Probably already has tbh.

At least he's being objective I suppose.

Blu ray version looked great. My mate had the normal DVD and it looked fine to me.

The BBC are just as bad if not worse with Murray, Lawro and Hansen.

Happy New Year everyone

Nothing we didn't already know really.

Hugo in 3d - 9/10 MI4 on IMAX - 9/10 (8 for film, 1 for IMAX, especially wide shots of Dubai and of that woman's bangers) Robin Hood Prince of Thieves on Blu Ray - 20/10. Remains my favourite ever film. Can see why the deleted scenes were deleted though. But still superb. The film that has everything.

Runs in the family then?

I'm on my phone at my friend's in York waiting for her to put her slap on, and quite frankly have better things to be doing on Christmas Eve than compile a compendium of your greatest hits. Off the top of my head though there's you calling Asians having the temerity to converse in another language "ignorant bastards" and you moronically abusing me because you thought I was Italian the other week.

I wasn't having a go or owt, merely pointing out that you've often made xenophobic/borderline racist comments before so your current stance of dishing out the righteous condemnation of all things Liverpool (itself a crass generalisation, and based on your own prejudice of the place almost as much as recent events) is a bit rich. I'm no mug Stevie and I can see through all your shit.

Bit ironic to demonise an entire population for being racist isn't it. You're not exactly whiter than white (ho ho ho) in this regard either. Besides, I work with a scouser who's as fit as fuck.
