  1. And if you enjoy relegation then under Ashley you're going to be like a dog with two dicks.
  2. How the fuck can anyone enjoy relegation? enjoy the excitement of going down and then (in their own words) boycott with their wallet? Everything people accuse us of comes true in that one post tbh, fair weather fans who enjoy the rollrcoaster of relegation at the games and the fun of promotion in front of their radios.
  3. Sounds like an Adobe problem, but what does the error message say? Are you using PC or Mac? It tells me that theres been an error downloading the App and to goto adobe.com/go/goair Now if I attempt to open the App I get nowt, no sign of anything. Im on PC
  4. Football of the future.....
  5. It screwed my machine up or at least the download of Adobe Air did. App appeared to download but I then get an irritating Adobe Air error message popping up every 30 seconds. Only way to stop it is to close the App.
  6. For me it was the fact I'd have to wait an extra 2 weeks to get Broadband in if I went with someone else, all down I may add to the way in which BT works. I'll be waiting for the first chance to change back to O2.
  7. As per my post in the Bandwidth thread, my home broadband has been throttled by BT because I used 56Gb in the first week of March, of course being BT they dont tell you as normal companies would oh no, they send you an email to an email address they made you setup at the time of registering. An email address which Ive never had any intention or need to log into. It gets better though, their idea of throttling your bandwidth is to allow you to be connected at full speed for 2 minutes and then disconnect you for 30 seconds! Unfuckingbelievable. I found this out when I rang up the helpline on Monday to report the fault on my line, the fault that meant I lost connection every 2 minutes. The helpline then did some digging and agreed to remove the throttle "there you go sir that be working it will now, having you a nice day" they said. The problem continued however so tonight at 7.40 I rang up to give them hell and was put in a queue, cue 20 minutes of phone ringing and every other minute a woman saying "all our operators are busy, thank you for being patient we will answer your call shortly". That was until the clock struck 8, at which point the woman came on and said "Thank you for calling BT, our service centre is operational between 8am and 8pm, please call again tomorrow" Absolute cocks
  8. Yes Good lad. While you're there you can sing Ashleys name and see how the majority join in with you.
  9. Viv Graham, would liven up a Saturday neet in toon.
  10. You havent answered my question.
  11. You still haven't answered my question from last week CT, now that Ashley is doing good in your eyes then are you going to stop your self imposed boycott and hand our struggling club some of your taxi tips?
  12. Dongle, but like I say they're expensive if you're using daily. Cheap enough to get hold of and a piece of piss to use (plug n play). You're not thinking of taking your PC on the train are you?
  13. Add nust.org.uk to the list of sites and I'll give it a go.
  14. Sorry guv but what exactly are you trying to do? Are you meaning out and about with a laptop (which you say you dont like) or connecting your home PC to a mobile phone to connect? If its the latter then I used to use the iPhone as a backup connection for any times there were problems with my home one, that required a wifi connection though so needed there to be a router. Once it was setup though (by creating a VPN (Virtual Private Network)) it was straight forward, merely connected as you would normally and although not as fast as the main connection it was still more than adequate. To connect by Bluetooth you'd need a bluetooth connection on the PC which I think Ive had about 3 dongles for in the past and not found one that works! The Mobile dongles you can buy for connection dont require a seperate phone, they have a SIM card in them which is used merely for data. You either have a contract or use a PAYG version, I use an O2 one when Im away and its about £2 for 24 hours connecting and a £5 for a week, does the job for whiling away the hours in a hotel room somewhere but I wouldnt like to use them for anything more than that.

    Ive been experiencing problems with my home connection, every evening its up and down more times than a makem lass in a bus shelter. Turned out when I rang BT that Ive been throttled under their fair usage policy (admittedly it was for using 56Gb in the first week of March), no warning, no questions just bang you're out. Throttling for BT however doesnt mean stopping your Torrent ports or reducing my speed to 512Kb, no nowt as sensible as that, what they do is allow you to be connected for two minutes then swtich you off for 30 seconds. Wankers
  16. Princess Di just to see the reaction of the Daily Express.
  17. Or you could just syndicate RSS feeds to ensure you get only sites that are relevant and useful... No app, no hassles, control over what sites get included etc etc
  18. Just a fucking bit None of us support our football club because they make a profit, none of us should ever be contemplating putting profit before success. I think people get the word profit and turnover mixed up. Turnover is what we should be looking for in the way of financial success not profit. Profit is what goes to the shareholders at the end of the year, turnover is what drives your club and what is needed to ensure on field success. Profit simply means that someone isnt spending enough somewhere, theyre raking in cash but not investing it. You should be taking that profit and turning it into players, investing in the first team squad to ensure on field success, on field success means higher turnover, higher turnover means more to spend on the team, more to spend on the team means better players, better players means more interest from fans, more shirts sold, more names put on those shirts, more turnover, more turnover means better players, better players means a higher league position, higher league position means more turnover, more turnover means better players......repeat to fade. We are NOT in some financial nirvana, far from it, we're sitting with debts piling up, turnover down and a quality of playing staff that resembles the likes of Wigan, Hull etc. Is that going to make kids go out and buy shirts? is it fuck. People slate the previous chairman for purchasing Owen, trophy signing etc, maybe he was but nobody could have predicted the flop he was going to be, what did happen though was that a couple of those millions we spent came straight back in with the rush to get a new shirt emblazoned with Owen 10. How many teenagers do you think rushed out to get Best 20 done? How many grown men will that signing convince to order a Season Ticket...."look pet ah knaa we're skint but its Leon Best maaaan pet man" I just wish people would see the financial side for what it is, we are NOT in a good financial position, gate receipts down, shirt sales down, corporate sales slashed, advertising down, sponsorship deal is 40% the amount it was last time. The only thing that keeps the wolves at bay is the fact that we've slashed our wage bill, reduced staffing in areas other than the team, cut the quality of our product and are merely living on the hope that all will be well. It wont, not under this model, maybe I'll be proven wrong and we'll survive in the Prem next season but thats all we will do, survival is not what I support my club for, I dont dream of telling my son that he'll love the last game of the season when we're all sitting there crapping bricks, watching the game while listening to radios to hear how Hull are doing. "The thrill of the race for 16th place, nowt compares to it son, Ive been to Camp Nou for the Champions League and its shite compared to a relegation dogfight at the JJB.This is where its at kidda, count youself lucky, when I was your age we didnt get to experience this day week in week out, oh no we were too busy trying to compete." Im fairly sure in return he wont be pinning copies of the clubs balance sheet on the wall and dreaming one day of becoming an accountant so he too can make something so beautiful as a profit loaded return.
  19. As a team were playing well, Jonas is having an off day. Defence are bored but for me it's Guthrie that's stood out, he's bossed the midfield. I'm going to be bored if the 2nd half is anything like the 1st as Im in the Leazes
  20. 5 -1 Lovenkrands to get a hat-trick.
  21. He did, and yes we were all suckered, my argument would be that Hall did nothing to confirm how good or bad Ashleys intentions were. He took no time to look into him, he merely grabbed the cash and ran. Plus as "Life President" he should now be kicking off but he doesnt. Im not sure how you can level that at SJH, Perhaps Ashley came in with good intentions. Perhaps he just bullshitted him. Nobody really knows (bar SJH and Ashley) though, so I guess its a moot point. The speed at which the deal was done proves he didnt spend any time looking after the best interests of our club imho. Anyone can walk into a football club and spout anything they like to the current custodians but its down to them to check that out. I agree that he didnt have any legal requirement to do so however morally and as a "fan" he should have put the clubs long term future ahead of any quick buck, he owed us that much considering it was the fans who ensured he received his hefty millions over the years. I well believe that had he done the necessary checks then he'd have still sold to Ashley, there was nothing there to say that the fat man was going to end up the way he did. At least then though, he could hold his head up and say "I checked". Its time we used the word custodians rather than owners when referring to whoever is in charge, thats all they are the holders of the keys, this football club will always be the property of the fans, the people who rightfully own it. Seymour, McKeag, Hall, Shepherd, Ashley they're all just passing through as far as Im concerned. EDIT: Something Ive not made clear from the posts above is that I credit Hall with the rejuvenation of this club, he, Shepherd and co pulled us up from the brink and turned us into a club that competed with the best of them. Its going to take another Hall to do exactly the same again only this time, as Hall himself alludes to it wont be good enough to pull a million quid or so together and add in a ton of ambition and business sense. It will take hundreds of millions to even get us close to it again.
  22. He did, and yes we were all suckered, my argument would be that Hall did nothing to confirm how good or bad Ashleys intentions were. He took no time to look into him, he merely grabbed the cash and ran. Plus as "Life President" he should now be kicking off but he doesnt.
  23. I can see why people were worried about the way we were heading but giving them stick for giving us the best football they have and probably will see for a long time is more than a little stupid. Anyone licking Ashley's arse is a moron, I don't think that is the current mood though. You still have me down as this Halls and Shepherd hater despite never providing any evidence. there are plenty of people licking his arse really? name and shame them. as far as i can see on here, most people think that ashley's time in charge has been a disaster. I think its fair to say LM is referring to members of a N Other board.....
