Is that like rimming?

John Anderson always talks about when Justin Fashanu played for the toon and got one of those 12 man baths to himself, while the other 20 players crammed into the other bath. seemingly he was doing breast-stroke (ironic) he had that much space

Maybe its like the old mobile phone VAT fiddle. Same football club gets sold between people each time claiming the VAT back

Fuck me you get lazier by the day

Welcome to the world little fella, it's going to be a tough one but whatever daddy says, do the opposite Congrats to mr and mrs CT

Going to be difficult to see how when 650k are to be added to the 2.47m already unemployed just through the Public sector cuts.

Shit lads, hold on if we piss him off he'll hack us again.....

any little rivers around?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...utd/9118602.stm Stretford gets a bad press (rightly) but he knows how to screw a football club.

You're lucky theres still a delivery room. good luck btw

Of course they rely on that selfish attitude - I'm not supposed to care about mates who are civil servants or the schools or council facilities I don't use. Shoot me for being brought up correctly but I do. ??? The point is that for a lot the fear of yesterday didnt materialise and they will start spending, thus boosting growth, thus getting out of this mess as soon as possible and one big final thus, then having the choice to spend money not on deficts but on the real needs of the day be that schools, councils or civil servant mates. NOtg sure where you get this logic from? the fear is still here, yes HMRC was predicted to cut by 25% and its now 19% however every single member of staff is still worrying about their job, Im not now thinking Ive got a 6% better chance of staying in work so lets get out there and spend, spend, spend! The reality is, these departments now know how much they have to cut, where its going to come from is now being worked out and will take a couple of months to finalise.

Radginas not been too well lately although I'd have thought being away from work would increase her posting, just probably hasn't.....got.....the....energy....to....move

I think NUSC (not NUST) has an important role to play overall and could work well if it got back to basics and became a properly ran supporters club, first thing needed though is to remove the ego's and then sit down and listen to what the membership says it wants from the organisation. Isn't the club and the trust one and the same in most people's minds? The club doesnt exist anymore, I believe it needs to be resurrected, ideally by removing Trust status and going back to the original blueprint we had for a Supporters Club or (less preferably) setting it up again from scratch while NUST continues to implode.

Lots of clubs sack managers after short bad runs and we have serial form for panic stricken decision making, doesn't make it right! The timing and the nature of dear old Bobby's departure was a shockingly bad piece of decision making - Doug Hall (his name rhymed with fuck all for a reason) - took the bow for that one I believe. Hughton still has a lot to prove after a great season last time out but I'm totally unconvinced that sacking him is the answer. One of the few real strengths we seem to have at the club is the team bond / spirit that Hughton has built in tandem with the players. Blowing that apart for someone else (and who ?) would seem to be a huge gamble. Newcastle cries out for stability and has huge inglorious form for hitting the panic button - the last thing we need right now is all change. Yes things could get worse lose the next two league games and CH may well not survive - I prefer to raise my half full glass to the do -able prospect of winning them both. I agree, sacking CH at the moment would achieve nowt, if we get to January however and are languishing in the bottom 3 then it has to be a consideration. Getting rid in February when any new bod wont have the luxury of buying (however little that may be) and selling to create their own escape route will see us in the same shameful state as two seasons ago.

How much input do you reckon little Micky Owens having? Aye go on Wayne, tell em to fuck off, theyre not worth it, get yourself somewhere abroad, I'll look after things here...

Gotcha! ITV replay, last night (Tuesday) and 15mins 44 in.

"Fucchhhhun paella? Where's me spaghetti 'oops?" It'll make Gascoigne and Five Bellies Italian tour look like Oxford debating society.

As far as Im aware all venues were free of charge, they were happy to host them and take the extra income from the bar. I also dont think the speakers charged, John Anderson (check his Wikipedia Tom) and Gibson were free other than a drink or two as both are friends of the organisation. The use of hypothetical figures however cant be used as a yardstick. Theres no way that we have 2000 members and whatever the figure was it shouldnt be multiplied by a tenner. Kids, unemployed and retirement age got membership for £5. I'd estimate that it was about a third which fitted that category so we're maybe looking at an average figure of say £8 per member. I think we're looking at about 1400 members at an average of £8 each giving around £11k income. Spread that over a two year period and then remove the cost of the initial packs (membership card, keyring, sticker, postage) and you drop below the £10k income mark. Then we had the purchase of tickets for the worthy causes, charitable topups and whatever costs were incurred in YWC and its easy to see how £10k could be used in two years. On top of all that though, theres an assumption that its all been spent, Ive not seen anything announced to say the coffers are bare. All will be revealed however when the annual accounts are published which has to happen by the AGM.

Nah, the Trust plan came after we were setup and its not a requirement of the rules that any membership is paid. There are Trusts that are free membership. It was an awkward issue at the time, coming up with the amount. It needed to be cheap enough to not put too many off yet at the same time not too cheap that it devalues the democracy (if it was free then anyone could join up and influence votes) and had to cover costs etc.

There you go then, just got to buy one less box of biscuits a week and they'll have saved the 16%

FYP

I didnt take the comment badly however I can agree with how it can be seen as bad taste when someone basically says (as this government is) "you and 499,999 others are going to lose your job today but dont worry we've got 20 appearing in the new cyber crime division" We can pile numerous people into cyber crime but at the end of the day they'll just be current employees of whatever department takes responsibility for it. Probably Home Office Id suspect, if you dont already work in the Home Office therefore then you've got bugger all chance of getting a move there after today. No department will take on any staff in the foreseeable future, merely move people from one role to another and again, this doesnt help the matter. Instead of pulling in experts* in the topic they'll move paper jockeys from a no longer needed section and retrain them on this. *if they did want external experts then Id be knackered anyway

I saw Sammy last week running from the Metro to training (late again). I still reckon thats just Shola in his grannies wig! And if you notice theyve never played in the same team.

I swear Shola was on it, not sure what time but around half way through, theres a point where some blonde bint goes into a workplace and talks to someone else while two people (one of them Shola) are clocking out. Anyone able to check it on ITV player?
