NJS

The best TV show ever - FACT. (Babylon 5)

Heart attack May 2004 aged 44

Genuinely gutted abut this. I'm a huge B5 fan and he was one of the best characters on the show and his petty bickering with Londo was hilarious. R.I.P 94858[/snapback] Seconded - RIP Richatd Biggs (Franklin) and Tim Choate (Zathras) have both died young in the last couple of years - bit of a curse.

He can only do this once. 93220[/snapback] So he can't do what NJS wants him to do then ? 93232[/snapback] I'd assumed he'd get his badge but its been suggested it was a deliberate decision not to go for it after his illness - my comment was only semi-serious but then again I think having someone committed to the club like that isn't a bad idea.

Lee Hendrie Milan Baros Juan Pablo Angel

So Roeder will become a "Tony Parks" type character who comes in and does the caretaker bit every couple of years when yet another failure leaves

Can I just say what an incompetent idiot Mike Riley is. Last year he refused to send Sorenson off for fouling Bellamy on the grounds he wasn't "straight through" on goal and there were defenders getting back. So why was Babayaro sent off in that context then you cheating little bag of shite?

Fuck me if we win this Roeder owes Lady Luck a pint.

I hate Baros - Ha Ha!!!!!

Yes... 92777[/snapback] In what sense? As far as I remember, as soon as everyone figured out their long ball game, they started to lose. O'Neill jumped ship when they were on the down. Or do I remember wrongly? 92784[/snapback] You asked if he achieved more, winning two cups is.. 92785[/snapback] Finishing 9th, 8th, 5th and 12th with Leicester isn't too bad. Even if they were "on the down" at the end, always finishing midtable and above is overachieving IMHO. 92786[/snapback] Fair enough. Would he be the man to take us to the level we all want to be at; or would we be looking to get midtable every season too? 92787[/snapback] Well, would ManUre and the Scousers look for midtable positions if they signed O'Neill? Even if the rumours linking O'Neill with these clubs are the base of his reputation I do think it's not too bad to get linked with a manager those teams as well as England (allegedly) were/are interested. It shows they right ambition. I would also prefer someone other, but think that out of the British names O'Neill would be the best choice. 92797[/snapback] I certainly don't disagree with that. 92801[/snapback] The reason I was so "pro" Souness was that I thought he was the best of the available candidates (that FS considered). In those terms I'd support O'Neill as the best british candidate as you say but I think I'd regret the "missed" candidates.

I'd want him to be very clear on this - as I've said before even if she's fine (which I obviously hope) if it was me I'd want to enjoy life as much as possible with her and not work. If he wants to work then I want him to spell out the details if you like.

I don't think he's "shit" - I just think he's a very similar level of manager as Souness - its a missed opportunity with FS's seemingly more open and flexible attitude to get someone really good imo.

Or right click the link, save target as, stick it on your desktop, and then open it. Means it'll be there whenever you need it for future games. 92765[/snapback] That one works for home games as well whereas radio Newcastle via the Beeb cuts out for contractual reasons - I've bookmarked it.

Shola!!

Top 6? - probably Top 3/4? - Unlikely

I was going to name Bergkamp but thought I'd get called - I think he has a really nasty streak and did probably the worst two-footed tackle I've ever seen on Dabizas I think at Highbury 5 or 6 years ago. Going old school: Kenny Burns Steve Foster (Which leads to Kenny Wharton as a hero) Frank Worthington Sly little shit section Speedie Wise Izzet Always destroyed us section: Poyet Le Tissier Owen (I reserve the right to repent my hatred) Big girls blouse section: Savage Ashley Cole Tim Cahill Minimal talent/made too much money section: Calrton Palmer David Platt Mark Hately Probably more to follow

Apart from SWP, who have they done that with? 90681[/snapback] Just recently their interest in Theo Walcott made me think of it.

I remeber thinking that Rangers under Murray/Souness/Smith a few years ago had a policy of buying all the good players from Hearts/Aberdeen etc just to make sure those teams never developed into challengers - the players themselves always seemed to disappear but better in Rangers reserves than possibly taking points off them. Chelsea now seem to be following that example imo.

I think too many are reading too much into a decent performance against an extremely piss poor team - all this will change if we struggle in the meantime.

Thought I was getting all lasses - Isabella Rossilini and Winona Ryder being the best - for blokes I got Leanardo DiCaprio and Patrick Stewart.

I think theres an undercurrent which refuses to go away - I don't think booing of black players happens anymore but you still get odd remarks. I'm not over-sensitive - I think people can use phrases like "black cunt" in the heat of the moment without being BNP supporters but its easy to tell when its "meant" - I heard a couple like that at West Ham.

The guy is obviously an idiot but at the same time I think there is a touch of truth in what he says in regards to England - I honestly think the change in crowd "makeup" has had more to do with the reduction in blatant racism than any FA ran campaigns. A few years ago a far too large proportion of the away following especially were either blatantly racist or too "silent" in their response whereas in recent years a few idiotic comments are more likely to be condemned by fellow fans - in my experience the "more sensible" kind. Not so much to do with class I just think "nicer" people go to football in recent years.

You can be knocked off balance by a slap but then you should get straight back up - like Bowyer did at Anfield (though in his case he was probably thinking of continuing the "Chat") As I've said elsewhere it makes me think of blokes who get involved in a "fair" fight where nobody gets hurt who then go to the Police - shitbags one and all.

Gerrard versus us - why no red given the comments here? Its about common sense - I don't think it should be an auto red - the ref should be able to see what goes on - it wouldn't take a replay to realise Robben was a cheating shit - someone should have ran over and kicked the fucker's arse.

As I've said on other threads on religion its about time people dropped the excessive "respect" that they think these people warrant. At the start of the Hamza trial the prosecutor said that Islam and the Koran weren't on trial as it was a peaceful religion - my response would be "prove it".
