I get the feeling I'm going a bit (more) insane - I think I posted a couple of weeks ago that I'd noticed more than one SSN presenter pronounces "sixth" as "sickth" and its starting to drive me mental as I get the feeling they all do it and it must be company policy. I'm sure the other night when they showed the table whoever it was said "and Blackburn stay sickteenth". Spotted another one earlier and thought about sending an email to complain - think I need to get out the house.

12% for me - only USA, Singapore and Morocco outside of Europe but a canny few in the latter.

Hall used the same tactic in the early days - "if it hadn't been for us there'd be no Newcastle United" was something he definitely said in relation to Barclays. tbf it was a damned sight closer to the truth back in late 1991 though. It has the same undermining lie though - the club would survive as many like like Boro did however painful the situation would have been - the notion that the ground would be closed and the club shut down with no more football being played is pure fantasy imo.

Not a bad view - I always thought it de-railed us a bit when John Hall took a back seat and left it more up to his idiot son and Shepherd. On your administrator point I'd also say Fletcher should have stayed longer despite his obvious complete cuntishness.

Sick of being sick - had a nasty bout of man flu 2 weeks ago, started to feel almost human by last midweek but have had a bit of a relapse since Friday - either a mutation or a cousin of the original. All this sunshine and I've been as far as the co-op at the top of the street.

Dodgy sleep patterns over the last 24 hours meant I watched Total Recall and Mad Max 2 between about 2 and 5 this morning. Still enjoyable viewing but nearly shit myself when I saw MM2 was made in 1981 - 30 fucking years ago.

Excellent goal.

"Magic" new boots won't change your shitness you idiot.

I hope this jinxes him into doing something but it has to be said that Ameobi is absolutely fucking shit.

It's always struck me that they can't claim JC suffered when he would have known his mission ended in resurrection and ascension. He also wasn't as innocent as implied - in today's world he'd be classed as an insurgent/terrorist - not saying that's right but its another view. (this assumes any truth in the gospels of course). Ratzinger should have been more honest and just said it served the Japanese right for not being Catholic which is the non-PR "correct" answer.

NI already get Paddy's day and the the 12th of July to keep the other lot happy. I'm not against public holidays as such but still don't like Saints days as a concept.

What I never understood about Dalglish was how he could discard Beardsley at both Liverpool and for us when he'd done the business for him so much at Liverpool and then had proved how good he still was for us. Absolutely crass management.

Only when he'd ripped the heart out of a team that had finished second playing fantastic football and sent a team out in an FA cup final to play for penalties in the Thursday replay. I thought he'd turn Keegan's team into winners - unfortunately he wasn't interested in that team.

If he hasn't scored by the time they play us I'm going to stick a couple of hundred quid on it.

Just saying at work yesterday that even before the wedding was announced, anyone with sense could have used 4 days to get 11 because of Easter being late so I think "gratitude" for the timing is overstated.

I alwways did think and still do that he deliberately took it easy when recovering from his broken toe to make sure he was fresh for the world cup thus only playing a couple of games for us - funnily enough I also think his lack of matches at the end of that season probably then contributed to his injury in Germany. So when he says he "tried in every game he played" he's probably telling the truth. Whether he played every game he could is another matter imo.

Ebay is actually more reasonable than I thought - something like this would do you fine: Specialized

Depends what you want it for. If you just want an occasional road/cycle path ride then you could get a decent hardtail off ebay for £300-400. If you want to go offroad I wouldn't spend less than £600. Getting a Halfords £99 job is false economy - won't last 5 minutes.

Both. He got a few "I signed him" comments in as well as dismissing the Lovenkrands appeal.

With 5 games left and the number of inter-shite games it is feasible for 4 or 5 teams to get another 6 or 7 points - unlikely but feasible. The final day could see a 3 from 7 or 8 scenario. I think we'll either beat Blackpool or Brum and be fine.

Completely bored at work so just chucked a holiday request in for tomorrow - already off the 11 days so now 12.

1992 Derby County (a) 1-4 (0-2) Division Two Peacock Williams(pen), Kitson, Ramage 2 21,363 Disaster on Easter Monday as referee Brian Coddington sent off Brock, Scott and O'Brien and banished McDermott from the bench as United were left in a relegation position with only two games left One of my and many other's proudest ever days as a Newcastle supporter.

Cancer aged 63. Usually only comment on people who meant something to me - loved Doctor Who as a kid and really liked Sarah Jane - and that's said completely without any perve angle. RIP

Aye worked hard but the lack of quality was so evident. Alex I would've put everything in my pocket on you scoring that header he just needed to hit the target imo. Latest in a long line of players you can't fault for effort but not quite good enough.
