Nar, wouldn't reckon so, just nipped in to make sure they were showing it because their advertising consisted of a black and white A4 print out saying it was coming soon and to ask to reserve tickets to the debut showing or something (which must have been earlier)

Definitely on in the Monkseaton Arms, 100 pairs of glasses, first come, first served. Gonna be a lot like Avatar, just going for the spectacle and don't really care if it's the cold-hearted capitalists or disgustingly trendy urchin savages that win in the end.

Is the 3D coverage exactly the same as the normal coverage, or is it directed independently so that they can show gratuitous shots of things like bits of the stand, the crowd, Wenger's nose or Jamie Redknapp's crotch waggling out the screen towards you that would look terminally dull in 2D?

unless your liverpool or man u yes it does and a tut tut from the premier league for not treating their "best league in the world" as your top priority Resting players for Champions League is fine because the Premier League wants English teams to win it. Resting players against one of the big four is not fine, because it upsets the rest of the big four.

All sounds theoretical, would be nice if it happened while I was over on me hols though.

Pass the Monkey all the time and haven't seen any advertisements for it, which is a bit odd. This bit on that site seems a bit contradictory. I'd hope in the monkey they'll show it in the lounge on a big screen, it's not a very good venue to watch a particularly popular match because most of the flat screens are in the bar bit and there's only about three spots you can see a screen from.

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6068339,00.html West Ham are to lodge a complaint against Fulham after Roy Hodgson fielded a weakened side in last weekend's defeat to Hull City.

You know, I was wondering if some teams take big attendences and vocal support as some kind of arrogance. In general the better teams are doing, the betetr the football, the higher the chances of success, the more folk turn up. Are people going "Deluded geordies, look at 45,000 of them turning up and singing about how great Newcastle is when they're only finishing 7th/10th/13th/gonna get relegated/in the second teir, they must think that they're great and gonna win the league in a season or so."

Maybe I'm being overly harsh and don't know what's happening behind the scenes, but has he been doing much 'steering' at all recently? Is it not more that now he's stopped fucking around making the wrong decisions about backing/sacking/appointing managers and selling players, now that an alright manager fell into his lap without having to do anything that we're drifting back up?

Guy next to me has been saying he wants to see him converted to a centre forward for a while now. I think he's only half joking. But yeah, massive man-crush on the guy.

7. If we hadn't gone and lost to Villa on the last day of the season, Forest would be automatically promoted by now

These spots are looking more and more settled as well now, who do you want to come up with us and WBA? I'm going to say Swansea, just because I want a nice violent Welsh derby final and that means I have to pick my least disliked Welsh club to come up.

Three years ago I vommed on their statue of Robin Hood while my mate pissed in Maid Marion's cupped hands. I consider that means the moral victory has already been won, no matter what the result.

That was by far and away the greatest thing I've ever seen at St James. I spent half the match giggling about it. Brilliant. It was superb, yeah. Aye! It was a bloody massacre of unarmed monks and that y'knaa

Having a go at us for "big club" syndrome, from a team that sing "1-0 to the famous team" in spite of most people under 30 probably wondering if they're who Sol Cambell played for before he went back to Arsenal.

Forest's absolute hatred of being called Notts Forest is what they're most famous for at the moment, I assumed the thread title was a deliberate dig.

Sunderland aren't doing either well enough or comically shit enough to be bothered about. If they were challenging for Europe I might be pissed off, if they were scrapping in the bottom 4 I'd be praying for them to fuck up, if they were doing their regular struggle to get into double figures by Christmas I'd have a dig, but kicking around the middle of the bottom half of the prem when we're not even competing with them this season, who gives a fuck.

If I remember, the Nottingham mines were newer and much more pleasant to work in, ie you weren't working hunched on your hands and knees with your head pressed against the roof in the pitch black non-stop, the ventilation was better so they weren't all hacking up black shit all the time and the heat wasn't quite as unbearable. The more modern machinery and the fact the coal had been tapped more recently also meant they were turning a profit, so they believed that their mine was probably safe anyway. When they kept working they became darlings of the press and the government, who loved wheeling them out at any opportunity to (as the other miners saw it) slag off their own. The adjacent Yorkshire mines were the ones tasked with the flying pickets on Nottingham, so both teams there still get fucking dogs abuse off Leeds as well. The Sheffield teams and Tranmere also famously bear a grudge about it.

Did you used to animate Doug on Nickelodeon in the 90s?

http://www.fantastic-telecom.com/ Seem to have appeared out of nowhere, third google result down is a boro fan posting on some shitty forum thinking it's going to be the stadium name. Searching for "fan-tastic telecom" brings up a few more results, think the official name is with a hyphen, which probably won't please them too much if we've got their name worng in our press release.

In Leviticus it also says it is an abomination to eat shellfish, so is everyone who eats a seafood pizza condemned? In John 3:16 it says whosoever believes in God will have life everlasting, making no distinction between sexualities. Note "Whosoever" not whosoever as long as you are straight. Best fiction book ever written. Most stolen book in the world too. Hear that a lot and not really sure how they work it out, but the most printed book in history being the most stolen book in history would seem pretty obvious to me...

To be fair they have won the European Cup twice. Thats my point, if they're such a big club, then they shouldnt celebrate like they've won the European cup again after beating little old newcastle. "You're only here for the big club" sang the biggest crowd Forest have had at the City Ground all season, more than when they played Derby... Along with "Sign on, sign on", a decade after the last Nottingham mines closed... Hope the topic title is a deliberate by the way

Surely there has to be police action over this, once you have to go to hospital for a broken jaw it's no longer a matter of "Oh, I don't want to press charges" is it? Looks like it would be classified as GBH
