    Explain? hmmmm its pretty self-explanatory but ill have a go. Im of the belief that a person cannot choose his skin colour but has the choice of his or her sexuality. then you're wrong

    EXACTLY, WELL SAID! Would you class being racist as equally acceptable? Racism is different altogether, the point you seem to be missing is Le Saux isn't even gay. Every week up and down the country football players are trying to wind each other up to get an advantage, Shearer done it to Keane, Materazzi done it to Zidane, by all accounts Bellamy done it to everyone, they want you to bite and I bet Fowler couldn't believe how easy it was to wind Le Saux up. What was your opinion when thousands of people were singing "taxi for rockshots" at Jenas a few years back? Or the "Mido is a Peado" chants? Real homophobia is wrong, however I wouldn't call what the likes of Fowler and Savage are saying to Le Saux as be anything of the sort, they know he touchy about the subject and are just winding him up about it to put him off his game. Load of crap again. The only person missing the point here is you, as whether Le Saux is gay or not is immaterial to the argument. Your stance that its OK for Fowler to throw around homophobic statements "because Le saux isn't gay" just shows you up to be as ignorant as Fowler himself I'm afraid. Its like saying its OK to tell racist jokes so long as you don't tell them to black people. No your missing the point actually. The piss-taking started when he made the step up in 91, he was young and a bit different so he got some stick. If he'd had any sense about hime he would have laughed and taken the piss back. He didnt, he obviously acted like a cock and hence the problem started. It went on for years and the game with Fowler was in 99, a full eight years later of him being wound up about it. Not sure you had the time period over which this occurred clear in your head. The Fowler incident was the culmination of his twattishness. pat nevin used to take the piss out of le saux because le saux was a fake (acting the bookish,broadsheet arty type and not being able to back it up)
  6. come off it! if NUFC took this site to court would it cause a ripple in the majority of toon fans,then even if it did would it create enough to stop anyone going ? We're a Premiership club with huge finances and worldwide support. Sheffield Wednesday aren't. Besides they play in a divided city. Alot of fans won't appreciate being sued by their own club, and I am sure as word gets round pressure would increase on the board. Those who have been sued may boycott games and the likes, I know it's quite extreme but it could backfire on the board completely. like you say,pretty extreme but could..

  10. Why should we say sorry the only reason he is still at newcastle is due to his injury, And the top four not willing to risk buying him with his 9 million clause, As soon as he is fit and scoring goals we will not see his arse for dust, Also I read today that his buy out clause will kick in again next june. can't see anyone offering £9mill next summer even if he gets 30 goals this season. My impression was that the clause becomes inactive next summer if we qualify for Europe. If not, it will be reduced by 25% or so of the orginal fee again, so we could be looking at 7mill. Wonder if it is possible to activate it in January, since he will be the best striker in Europe that isn't Cup Tied for the CL 3 years prior to that and without being out for nearly 2 years he went for £8mill

  12. The current housing market bubble was caused by easy credit, with this now drying up a crash is now a possibility. Lax lending criteria and loans on extremely high income multiples have stocked house prices. With the markets spooked such lending practices are going to be reined in. Already other lenders such as Paragon (who specialise in Buy to Let) have decreased in share price.http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=PAG.L&m=L&d= The sector in general is down see Aliance and Liecster http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AL.L and Bradford & Bingley http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=BB.L We've already had one small mortgage lender go bust just this week. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6987620.stm Maybe this could be the begining? it's a good time to be cash rich as there is a good chance of a quick slump in share prices,not a recession or depression but some people who werent careful (overstretched themselves never thinking cheap credit could end and those poor sods who had to overstretch to get a roof over their heads) could get shafted.
  13. is it true that any personal savings under £13,000 are guaranteed by the government agencies. ie if the rock does go under the small individual saver doesn't get his arse kicked ?
  14. i'd check if that was atlanta or atalanta before making the bet.

  18. unless i had mates already going i'd stick to the local non league team.
  19. with 2 more difficult games within 6 days' time, i would think he starts on the bench at best - another 60 or 90 minutes is asking for trouble at this point, IMO easier to sit out arsenal

    How would it be funny? I reckon Scotland have done better in this group than what England would have done. not disagreeing, that would make it even funnier
