Bloody hell, you would not have liked being at a game before the Taylor report!

Not to get in a heated argument or to baost one academy is indeed bigger than the other but allow me this question: how many Feyenoord academy graduates are currently playing in arguably one of the best leagues in the world? Barry, Cahill, Sturridge, Agbonlahor, Clark, Albrighton, Weimann, Bannan, Herd, Craig and Gary Gardner to name just a few. Here is a small list from players in the top leagues in the world (I may have forgotten a few). If you would ask me to make a new list in 5 years...it would be so much longer. Robin van Persie (Arsenal) Salomon Kalou (Just joined Lille from Chelsea) Royston Drenthe (On loan at Everton last season from Real Madrid) Luc Castaignos (Inter Milan) Jeffrey Bruma (On loan to HSV from Chelsea) Glenn Loovens (Real Zaragoza) Jonathan de Guzman (Just moved on loan to Swansea from Villarreal) Gerson Magrao (Santos) Karim Rekik (Manchester City) Nathan Ake (Chelsea) Dominic Adiyiah (AC Milan) Kyle Ebecilio (Arsenal) Moestafa el Kabir (Cagliari) Ronnie Stam (Wigan) Michel Bastos (Olympique Lyon) Gianni Zuiverloon (Real Mallorca) Touche!

I love the way articles like that always tag a mega club on the end of the list ....as if any of the other clubs mentioned would be able to compete if Milan came in!

I suppose whether you like the NS depends on what you go to the game for.

What about the view mate got some concerns over that Its the same as the Holte in that it depends on how high up you sit. If you sit too low you will struggle to see much detail at the far end of the pitch. The atmosphere does make up for it though, especially against teams like Everton who bring a good away following.

Well he's in the lead in the race above

**** hell...he's a beast! :shock: That depends on how big those other players are!

They don’t really need a manager, a drill sergeant and a psychologist would probably serve them better!

It’s funny to hear how many other fans have a soft spot for Forest. I lived in Nott’s for a good few years and they became my second team too! There was a good interview with Brian Roy on Talksport a few weeks back, reminiscing of his days there. Funny to think that was 15 years ago!

Or how about Eto'o plus €50m for Zlatan? In the 'Stewart Downing daylight robbery scale' that does take some beating!

Is there a link to this? I think Dem has his own very special link on this one. :!: Ah I see!

Is there a link to this?

No goal for you Villaninireland!

Wee Steven Davis goes to Southampton! Good, being linked with him brings back memories of the dark days! (Shudders)

Pabloc have any of the noses managed to get past the opening link yet?

Im the same with petrol!

Caught Four Lions on TV a couple of weeks back. Thought the premise sounded crap thus avoided it for ages, but I really enjoyed it, even found it hilarious in parts. "He'll be in heaven before his head hits the ceiling." ...brilliant!

How very disappointing! (I thought this was a certainty to be a stealth totty thread.)

Have you read 'a brief history of time'?

not sure I can subscribe to that view tbh Roger Bacon also published drawings of submarines and flying machines two hundred years before Da Vinci was born ..and he appears to have been heavily influenced by Arabic theories I don't doubt Da Vinci was a genius , but he wasn't alone Ah but Dan Brown has never heard of Roger Bacon!

Bacon and egg in a frying pan. Egg - 'Its hot in here isnt it!' Bacon - ' F*ckin hell, a talking egg!'

Rubbish, utter utter rubbish. No, not really. Why do players choose to play in league 2 when they could just have some extra training and play in the premiership?

Harry Redknapp has just recieved a severance payment of 3 million quid from Tottenham Hotspurs. After tax that works out at 3 million quid!

Never fails to crack me up!

That depends on how long you have had it for and/or how serious it is. At the level when you are still cognitively aware (ie the drawing clock phase) its usually in the early stages and the placebo would work as well as with any other illness. My dad has had it for the best part of 15 years, and is now complely reliant on carers to live. We tried everything with him in the early to mid stages but found nothing worked. TBH this is a complicated alteration of the brain, a cancer of the mind, and its cure (if it ever arrives) will most probably be just as complicated. However, I know that if i knew somebody in the same situation i would give this a go, as someone said, why not! Horrible disease!
