  1. Sky News *shock * horror 15% of 14-15 year olds admit to being drunk twice in week they were surveyed.

     

    When will people learn that interviewing teenagers is about as reliable as a Llambias interview

     

    "aye man ah was lyk geet last neet maan when a shagged them Playboy models"

  2. Anyone have any experience of these or know anybody who is part of them?

     

    While checking out organised displays I found the local one is organised by them and ended up nebbing at their website. Its interesting as Im quite keen to do something useful for a change.

  3. every year we used to build a massive bonfire on the stretch of land going between Broadwood Rd and the West Road (what is now the A1). Ours was always at the bottom end while another group of kids would build one at the top. Every year both would be bigger than the last, there'd also be numerous ones in lemington, Dumpling Hall and West Denton which we'd often neb at or nick bits from.

     

    It became a community thing and you'd lean new skills equipping you for adulthood. Many a structural engineer started out building bonnas.

  4. Ive got a garage full of cardboard here and was hoping we'd have kids round collecting for their bonna's but nowt. Thinking back I cant remember the last one I saw being built.

  5. If you base it on the positions teams finished last season (therefore removing the circulatory factor of our result having a bearing on their position) then you get an average of 11.33 for the Toon or basically on average weve played teams that are as good as we were last season.

     

    Mackems meanwhile are along the same lines 11.22 average so have played teams slightly worse than they were last season.

  6. That said, player trading is part of the whole "pot" BUT you have to be able to trade on your terms, i.e. You replace players when you want to, or improve/upgrade a position and hopefully make a profit on the deal.

    This is the crux of it for me and how I believe Mike n Derek think they will run things.

     

    Buy Player A for £2m

    Play him for a season or two and sell for £5m

     

    Buy Player B who is better than Player A for £2m

     

    Possible? yes.

    Likely? no

     

    Yes it happens at times but frankly if you're selling Colo to Liverpool for £15m and think that Pierre DePoofPoof currently playing in the reserves at Lyon is a better prospect then its a gamble. For every Tiote, Cabaye and Santon theres a dozen Perch's, Goslings and Elliotts.

     

    To an extent Id even agree its worth a gamble selling 1 big name player per season and replacing them with 3 or 4 exciting prospects. The big worry comes when you sell 2 or 3 big names and suddenly drop 3 random foreign youngsters into the first XI and expect them to keep you afloat.

  7. What's the general consensus on him from the bin dippers at this point? Money well spent? :)

    Theres a rumour circulating that hes fallen out with Dalglish and is going to be offloaded back to us for £15m in January.

     

    All believable until you hit the "us paying £15m" bit :lol:

  8.  

    Tranmere v Toon, October 1991 6-6

     

    this game had it all, a hat trick each for Micky Quinn and John Aldridge, two absolutely terrible back passes (check out the one at 1:02 :lol:) and the first one at 0:17 from Robbie Elliott

     

     

    after extra time, we lost on penalties (surprise surprise) with Clarkie and Quinn both missing theirs. Not that anyone really cared, this was the Zenith Data Systems cup after all!
