    Football pet hates

    If you're behind the ball you're not offside. Any cut back means you're behind the ball: A player is in an offside position if three conditions are met: first, the player must be on the opposing team's half of the field. Second, the player must be in front of the ball. And third, there must be fewer than two opposing players between him and the opposing goal line, with the goalkeeper counting as an opposing player for these purposes. It is not necessary that the goalkeeper be one of the last two opponents.

    Sunderland...

    Fired ochre. Emphasis on the word 'fired'
  5. The world of football journalism is jam-packed full of thick scum and cunts. This prick is right up there with the worst around. Complete retard who's shit at his job. I know loads of blokes who could do his job and speak with intelligence about the sport.
  6. Retardation. One of the stupidest things I've read on here since 2004. Fucking gravel for brains tbh. But as usual, none of you will have the balls to back up your comments. I say he did a few things okay in defnce but nowt in attack. Come on then big balls, tell me what he did in attack. If you can't figure out what his job was tonight then that's your fucking problem. He did exactly what he was told to do and he was one of the main reasons we won the game. Not even sure you understand your own bullshit tbh.

    Alan Pardew

    Excellent stuff. He's rebuilt this team and deserves a fantastic amount of credit. Got it right yet again tonight and his players are running through walls for him. Can't ask any more of him or his squad. Superb.
  9. Absolutely superb stuff. The organisation from the back 5 is unbelievable to see. S.Taylor and Coloccini have been immense and Simpson and Taylor have stepped up. If you've got the bollocks to go to Stoke and play 2 strikers and 2 wingers then you deserve a bit of luck. The ref gave 2 very soft penalties but if you give Stoke one for a slight push then you've got to give Newcastle one for a slight push at the other end. Both soft as shit imo but at least he was consistent I suppose. Fucking bring on Everton now. 22 points by the end of October is magnificent. Superb stuff.
  10. Still only HT like. We've been canny and defended well but we need to see it out or we'll be hanging on like we were at Wolves. Ba's been immense, the back 4 are so organised it's like watching a different team at times! Let's see it out.
  11. £22m (ish) and £9m of that was Coloccini. Only 4 of the XI cost more than £1m.

    Going to tidy all of the stuff up from last night if it's ok with bimpy and madras. Doesn't really belong in here!

    You do, for a start you get key worker preference on mortgages. Nope. You do mate, i can point you in the right direction if you need it. Fire away. Where you live mate so i can give the right link. [/suspicious]

    For me to get that pension when i worked in the private sector i would have had to pay 5 times what you do for yours, estimate but fairly accurate from what i remember. So i was paying indirectly for yours and couldn't afford my own, see why i think a strike is wrong. I dont think your wrong as its your situation and you judge it from you point of view, but i've seen it from both sides, its too scewed towards the public sector.

I dont think your wrong as its your situation and you judge it from you point of view, but i've seen it from both sides, its too scewed towards the public sector. this will sound awful but in order to compare you'd have to divulge your financial details, how much paid, pension paid etc Pm me with an e-mail address and i can send one of the offers i get, i have one on my external e-mail account, you can see for yourself. Pension wise, i think i was paying £80 a month to get a pension worth, £3000 a year (this was ten years ago so its nowhere near that figure for £80 a month now). Now for my NHS pension i pay £43.52 a month to get a pension of just under £3,500 with a £12,000 lump sum when i retire. See the maths and why i have no sympathy for strikes. so you are saying in the NHS there are lots of deals and therefore there are for all public sector workers ? No not quite but as there are over a million in the NHS alone and gods knows how many in the civil service, you can see its quite nice deal to get. And as i was saying to Midds, if you are a key worker, teacher/NHS/police and more you get preference for mortgages, shared ownership deals too. My mortgage started in 1998. No mention of this 'key worker' business.

    What is your wage for that tax like, i'm only paying £50, mind you i'm only on £10440, 25 hours while i pick the kids up from school, £15666 when i back full time and pay roughly £80 then. Roughly £40k. (bit personal like) The strike has nothing to do with the numbers though. Ignore the wage, it's the fact that I'm being asked to pay more, for longer for less when I retire. That's why I'm striking. The actual numbers don't come into it. It's not right.

I dont think your wrong as its your situation and you judge it from you point of view, but i've seen it from both sides, its too scewed towards the public sector. As I've said - just read that first sentence again and see if it's fair. Work longer, pay more and get less when I retire. My current deductions for NI, tax & pension are about £950 a month.

    there's very little reason for kids to learn algebra, trigonometry or geography, but they do....you know why ? because it teaches them how to learn and different ways to use their brains. it's like asking why a footballer should do some weight training instead of just playing football all the time. i say this as someone who ditched french when 13. i'd like to go on that the powers that be want to see it that languages etc are pointless and just want to turn out whatever the business world wants ie factory fodder for the most part. the point of education is to educate for life not purelty to provide fodder to feed the economy. More and more I'm teaching kids to pass exams rather than teaching the actual subject. It's what we're all judged on since the government introduced league tables and has become the be-all and end-all. I'm sure Erik Peters would agree. Although this Government is getting a lot of stick, i like their approach to Schools so far, getting rid of tables would be the first thing i would do, not sure their doing that but i like what i've seen so far. their approach to schools ? have you seen the f***ing mess they are doing with education......heres something to think of, student fees, earlier leaving age coupled with vocational collages, education more by rote as described by midds,. No no no, dont get me started on student fees, students should pay, when i was talking about education i was refering to higher education, wait and see what happens with education, it cant be any worse than the mess the last lot left us with, speaking about younger education there like. Students need a kick up the arse and have had it to easy for too long, i know that wont be popular but i couldn't careless, you want to learn into your mid twenties then you pay for it, why should i ?, when i say i like this Governments approach, i mean in terms of giving power back to teachers, the rest is wait and see but like i said, it was one big feck up for the last ten years. and we are left with being f***ed by both systems as they play political games. for christ's sake man, here i am a 44 yr old man who can't use capital letters, that's how long the education system has been shafted. Teaching unions dont help like, as they hate change, see this for myself in the hospital i work, unions are a massive pain in the arse, they do good things but striking, jesus wept, the only thing a strike does is lose jobs, yet the blokes at the top who call for strikes wont lose theirs, or their mental wages. We've just been balloted again for more strikes in November btw. All unions out this time though rather than just the 2 last time. 30th isn't it ? the public sector unions are trying to get as many out as possible, can't blame them. Really, do the unions tell you about all the perks us public sector workers get ? Reduced heating/electric bills, reduced car/house/life insurance, money off vouchers for all types of shops, great deals for buying new cars/motorbikes/bikes, vouchers for restuarants. Nothing is as straight forward as you think, you may think the Government is wrong but the lies union come out with, or should i say not the whole truth is mind boggling. Never heard about any of that s**** tbh. And I'd be on that like a shot. Tell what Midds, i could send you every e-mail (internal work e-mails) with offers i get in the next say two weeks so you can see what i mean, these apply to NHS staff, but i know its the same for civil servants, well where my mate works anyway. Don't get any of that stuff. I pay the same as everyone else.

    I'm being asked to pay more, work longer and for a worse pension when I retire. Ignore the numbers involved - that's why we're striking, because it's not fair. The average public sector pension is £8000 a year. Hardly gold-plated is it?
