  1. I thought it wouldn't be long until you added your approval
  2. bloody love that album,it's bostin deja entendou is one of the most underated albums ever. its weird because they dont seem to have that big a fan base over here, but lots of people i know own the album, but dont really talk about it cus they think no one else has it. the videos to sic transit and quiet things are amazing also. very underated bands My favourite is definitely 'The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me'.
  3. I'd give it to Barry for all the reasons that others have said. I'm beginning to reconcile myself with the guy. I don't think he's going to go anywhere, now or in the summer.
  4. I agree. But we also need someone to score some goals if (heaven forbid) Gabby gets injured. It would be foolish not get decnt cover in January, and that means two strikers.
  5. Kenwyne Jones would be an excellent signing but we'd have to pay silly money to take him in January.
  6. No doubt, but the tickets are all gone are they not?
  7. I assume the speculation died down because he signed a new contract. Decent player, could do well here. Truth be told I'd be happy with most of the players we've been linked with, but I would like us to sign two strikers ideally, because Harewood just doesn't cut it. That's particularly pertinent if one of the strikers we sign is Heskey. I think Heskey is a decent hold up man, but in the event of injuries, we're **** if we're relying on him for goals.
  8. Harewood out, Owen and Heskey in. Net cost of under £10m I reckon.
  9. I certainly can't disagree with any of that. Perhaps I was just fortunate. My mates are some of the most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet, and we were (without meaning to sound utterly ridiculous) the 'cool' ones. Some of us come from wealthy backgrounds, others of us have parents who have decided to live minimally because they believe that it's worth the sacrifice to get private education for their children. None of us are snobs, and in fairness I didn't see too much of it amongst the boys at all. The girls were a slightly different kettle of fish though, in fairness, so maybe it just varies. Having said that, I have met the detestable types at uni, but all I can say is that their schools must have been different to mine, and I think that's what it comes down to. Would I sent my child to Eton? No, but there are plenty of good fee-paying schools that I would send my child to if I felt it would offer them a better chance in life. Private education does not necessarily equal snobbery.
  10. That may have been the case for that individual school, but certainly from the school I went to I don't think it's entirely fair. In the end, the way you bring up a child as a parent will have far more impact on the person they become than the school they went to. There are dicks at every school, but to say that sending a child to private school will make them a snob is akin saying that you wouldn't send your kid to state school because they will turn into a chav.
  11. Yes. I went to private school, didn't like it early on but got used to it, made a lot of good friends and didn't turn out a dick. I know the type, but I find that the 'rah' people are usually boarding school types. Either that or they were just destined to be a dick because of their parentage. If I could afford and thought it would benefit any child of mine, I'd definitely do it.
