R.I.C.O.

Yeah, was gonna include him - just for the amount of times he says "****"... ....but the stupid poll only allows SIX. Which is poor. Al Capone in The Untouchables was gonna be included too! :roll:

I love a good gangster flick - mainly due to the really psychotic, sociopathic monsters that are portrayed. For every manic, psychopathic Tommy De Vito there is a cunning, calculating Michael Corleone, and a wannabe like Travis Bickle showing all the traits. My favourite would have to be Michael Corleone - who in one swift movement killed all of the Corleone family's rivals. He is turned more and more into a loner and by the third (abeit worst) Godfather film, he is insane. Tommy De Vito, Jimmy Conway, Al Capone and of course Tony Montana are also good portrayals, as well as Carlito Brigante.

Yes! Always! I've got some right maniac mates.

Championship sides can bring in players from outside the Premiership after 1st September. Nethertheless, the quality he could bring in won't be any better....

The lack of quality will show him up to be a rubbish manager. At a Premiership side with bagloads of cash, good young players and big egos, he would succeed. But Sunderland have none of this - he'll fall out with the players, cause dressing room unrest, and not be able to sign any of the players he supposedly has in his ideas (due to the division Sunderland find themselves in). I don't even want him to succeed either - the man got away with murder just because he played for Man Utd and was sheilded by Ferguson for much of his career.

The Running Man deserves an honourable mention - Arnie at his one-liner best: "Hey, what happened to Buzzsaw?" Arnie: "He had to split" :roll:

"Hey Matrix - your gonna do as we say, right?".... Arnie with Gun: "....Wrong" "Matrix, I'm not gonna shoot you in the head, I'm gonna shoot you in the balls..." Highlander not included because the sequels were so laughably poor and left a huge stain on the original.

Okay, after the last poll, and forgetting numerous films, here is an updated list, bar the ones included in Part I. For me - Back to the Future: Part I and II - - purely for Doc Brown.... (3 was shite though - Wild West? Now that's just silly) "Marty, when this car hits 88 miles per hour, your gonna see some serious shit" "Where we're going, we don't need roads....." "Ronald Reagan's the President? But he's just an actor" The Running Man is close behind though as far as one-liners are concerned.....

I included Die Hard but for some reason it did'nt show.....? Maybe there's a maximum of 8?

My head says loss (3 years of O'Leary to thank for that), because we always seem to be humbled by a team like Newcastle even when we are on the ascendancy.... ....but I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Shit, forgot Total Recall....

We all love a bit of mindless violence now and again - after seeing Robocop for the first time in about 5 years last night, it got me thinking. The 1980's was king for mindless machine-gunnery and explosion fests. What other decade could you get the tiny Sly Stallone carrying and firing a helicopter-mounted minigun - or a robot cop, a killing machine travelling through time.... For the record, my favourite is Robocop - Paul Verhoeven's masterpiece, unfortunately being remade :roll: for absolutely no reason. I love the futuristic way it was filmed, the adverts with lines like "I'LL BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR", the ED-209s and the part where the guy falls in the toxic waste. What about yourselves? I hope I've produced a good list. I've mixed a bit of science fiction in too....

I wonder where we will finish - 20th no doubt. Liverpool for the league with 114 points.....

Yep just posted same on "Countdown to Lerner thread" No other bids notified on LSE today so that's it!!! Wonder as Celtic have come up with dosh to sign Lee Naylor today whether we might just sign Petrov next couple of days as well Celtic have also signed Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink for £ 5 million - that money must have been earmarked from somewhere.

So has anyone ACTUALLY made a bid yet? Because looking at the fact that there has been no cessation of trading must mean he hasn't....

They are probably all made in the same sweat shop anyway.

Father Ted - absolute feckin' genius.... So many quality episodes - The Christmas special - with the Golden Cleric awards - and the priests getting lost in Dunnes Stores! The Passion of Saint Tibulus - "Down with that sort of thing" Father Dougal as a milkman with a bomb on the milkfloat The over 75's football match The episode where they give up Cigs, Drink and Rollerblading for lent The episode where they get stuck with the drum and bass listening priest The episode where they get lost in the "Really Dark Caves" The episode where they do the "Three Ages of Elvis" So much there....

The jury is still out - the final nail is yet to be knocked in. Depends where we finish at the end of the season. Anything less than 12th and he should go.

Probably being "deloused" in the "non existent" gas chambers with the others...

Your a moderator - your not allowed to have an opinion!

We should get rid at the nearest practical moment.

Chelsea, because they will go on to become 1000 times more of the typical gloryhunting bastards' club than Manure.

...only because it means we might be shot of the senile old fool in the not-too distant future....

I have a feeling that now the two main stumbling boxes in any other takeover were ticked (asset appreciation met, future interests met) the takeover would happen smoothly. However, this is Doug Ellis we are talking about, "Mr Aston Villa" (barf). He wants something for himself despite the money, to fuel his ego and to maintain his reputation. I feel that what is truly holding this deal back is that Ellis wants to retain his position at Villa, to continue to negatively meddle in affairs long after his exit as an "honourary" (I use the word subjectively) chairman. I feel that Neville and the Comers don't want this - and why should they? If they have a vision for Villa, why should it include the old order? Why should it have to include an incompetant (and probably incontinent :winkold: ) 82 year old has-been meddling in affairs when in any other takeover he would gracefully accept his departure.

I was well in favour of getting rid of the dour Irishman, but he seems to have turned things around, so well done to him, and I'm glad I've been proved wrong, as the team has started to gel and not tail off into the bottom three like I was worried out. Whether or not he is kept after the takeover (if it happens of course) is another matter, but I think at present he should be given until the end of the season to try and rescue any form of pride and dignity that was destroyed by the Doncaster result and various humiliations at the hands of Man City, West Ham, Wigan etc. I think we've turned the corner now and a good run to the end of the season could see us in the top eight. A good cup run would also be nice; yet this all depends on whether the players can put the lower division hoodoo behind them against Dull City.
