Can we add a "4-5-1 my lord!" verse to the song??

Some very good performances. If we can get a couple of defenders in we will be a force this season. 4-5-1 is the way to go...

Green top all the way. I used to drink full fat when I was a kid but grew out of it i think. It tastes too rich now...

His lawyers can still appeal to clear his name after he is dead...

Millwall are the lions...

But we now have access oil and gas reserves without having to be reliant on Russia. There was an article in the Economist just last week about what Britain is going to do about its power supply. The north sea reserves peaked 10 years ago and are rapidly diminishing. At some point in the next 10 years we will have to negotiate with Russia for a bigger share of their new gas and oil reserves they have claimed in the arctic but it wouldn't come cheap and Russia would have us over a barrel so to speak, much like they do with the Ukraine. This deal comes at quite a convenient time I should think.

There are lots of places where people don't speak a word of english.

I think I need a beer....

Personality tests are stupid. Much like IQ tests...

I think they may well spend a long time in the wilderness al la Forest, Wednesday and Leeds myself.

I do like kababs but I always get the shish kabab option. Doner kababs are just pure filth.

If they don't sell the club before the new season starts they will not find an owner this season. The continued limbo can not be good for the squad motivation trying to play a campaign in the very physical championship.

Kinnars record was better than Shearers and has a lot more experience, especially in the style of football required in the championship. I think it's a good move. And anyway, any move which pisses off the Newcastle supporters is most likely actually good for the club.

Well I have never actually heard the rhyme but only one of those answers actually rhymes. Maybe if you stretch out the vowels in a northern accent you can make lemonade rhyme with cake? One thing I find funny is how the Villa fans with brummie accents have made Agbonglahor rhyme with "he's fast as ****" due to the accent. Even funnier when there is a perfectly acceptable "he's bound to score" which would have actually rhymed...

One of Dennis Wise's wonder buys...

Why is there no London Villa fan club? I would have thought that would be an obvious one? Any other people in the East London area know good pubs they go to when the Villa are on?

I recon some of those things are made up rumours or at very least the standard bizare things that go on in football at all clubs like the loyalty bonuses for Owen/Viduka. It is very easy for papers to spin things and write all sorts of stuff about Newcastle right now becuase people are ready to lap it all up.

It will be Kompany and Lescott as the CB pair mate. Not bad IMO...

Ireland, Barry plus one of Kompany/De Jong will be the midfield 3 I reckon. Yep, it will be Ireland as creative mid, Barry as the linking passer and De Jong as defensive mid. Similar to Liverpool with Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano. Kompany will be move back to centre of defence again and will be the Rio Ferdinand type ball playing CB. I also think Barry will be made captian.

Michael Phelps is pretty handy too. Probably will be up there in another olympics or two.

I wouldn't be surprised if the posters fundamentally opposed to positive discrimination are white, middle class males aged 18 to 45 i.e. the people least likely to need it in British society. Some people are statistically disadvantaged based on their race or sex or disability etc. Helping them out to give the same opportunities that the group of people above take for granted is no bad thing. It is also only a temporary situation until the disadvantaged party is brought up to speed. You can call it racist if you want but it doesn't change the fact that some people in our society need more help than others.

Which shows that business has more faith in a Labout gvmt - how ironic. But then again as most are so insular why are they worried about Johnny Foreigner currency Funny how the people "in the know" see the prospect of a Tory Gvmt as being very weak for the economy - how ironic BBc Are you actually that delusional that you think a government in crisis and the pound falling shows that the markets are worried about the prospect of a Tory government?? They are worried about the prospect of no government at all. It’s unbelievable that you could spin it as a positive Labour story. Are you on the payroll??

Except we don't, we vote for a person - the representative for our constituency. That is, in FPTP elections. Now he/she most likely campaigns under a party banner and, therefore, they are in that case following a particular manifesto but they are free to make whatever alliances they so wish. They are not required to vote with the party of which they are a member, the party of which they are a member is not obliged to keep them in that party through thick and thin and they can always cross the floor. I know it's a bit pedantic and I understand that 'voting for a party' is the practical outcome of any electoral system which is done on a party basis but that doesn't alter the intricacies of it. That is undoubtedly true but I would have to suggest it is not the mindset of the majority of the electorate. In practical terms the majority of voters are voting on election day for who they would like to lead the country and tick the box accordingly. I would go so far as to say a significant number of your average voters only find out the name of their local candidates when they read through them on the ballot sheet. For this reason the change of prime minister outside of an election is a significant event for the voting public and a second change will not be well recieved.

The free kick about 2 mins in that the keeper spilled?

Well if Maradona is the greatest player ever,of the numerous players labelled the "next" Maradona, none have achieved what Messi has so far. I suppose a World cup is the ultimate stage for him to step up to so we'll wait and see what happens. I think Maradona gets those kind of tags because he was a one man team at Napoli and even made a good Argentina side look like a 1 man team in the World Cup. If Messi can inspire Argentina and be their star player in back to back world cups people will be compairing him to Maradona but not yet.
