BlueStar

makes a change from friday Thursday's when they'll announce the Friday 3pm press conference.

I think that's a case of one too many drops of Sunny Delight... The lack of black managers is probably self fulfilling, black players don't see many black managers, they're not expected to go into coaching etc so they don't.

It's a bit like the end of Inglorious Basterds. Get Diouff and Dennis Wise in there as well, tick, tick, tick...

I guess he is mixed race. I'd guess that. It's always interested me that someone with one black parent and one white parent so frequently gets called black. Why not call them white? If anything their skin's usually a light brown. Maybe I should head over to the stupid questions thread. It's a complex issue. I don't think of a mixed race person as black, I just think of them as mixed race. But then there are a million different shades of 'black' and 'white' anyway. Best just to think of them as the people they are I reckon, identity is a complicated thing. [/philosophy] To take it to extremes... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-drop_rule

There's a similar situation in american football, especially at college level. Loads of black players, practically zero black people in coaching positions. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3686028&campaign=rss&source=NCFHeadlines

Showed amazing initiative by fashioning a make-shift flag out of a flag.

5 tickets on my doormat today

He did resign - you can't sue for constructive dismissal unless you resign. Guess it all depends on if the ruling that the clubs actions had already "amounted to a repudiation of his contract" retroactively means that he didn't actually have a position from which to resign from at the time. EDIT: For example, if you get divorced and a few months later when you go through the paperwork you realise a legal error meant you were never really married in the first place, did you still get divorced?

If this woman is suicidal surely the right thing to do would be to help the authorities find out who she is so she can get help. I think maybe they should call Mr Brown for an interview and make him give a detailed description.

"Won't be shown in pubs" apparently. Aye, can't imagine anyone being able to hook their laptop to a big screen like.

Just booked my train tickets, coming back I had a choice of paying £125 to travel standard class or £39 to travel First Class

Reckon when Darren Bent dies they'll bury him in a barren dent?

I thought it was a cast iron pen like, but a mate of mine who's both a bristol and Newcastle fan thought it wasn't which makes me wonder if it's just me being biased.

Makes me fucking sick to see so many empty seats opposite me in the middle of the milburn after they moved all those fans that had been there forever to give the seats to a bunch of suits who clearly can't be fucking bothered now we're not playing man u.

Should we?

Standard pre-match press conference apparently.

Also, why does Smith have to make every tackle, no matter how simple, with both feet off the ground?

Exactly, I came out saying "At least no-one was crying" and was told the next day they'd managed to find someone for the cameras.

That's the problem I have - we stick with Hughton now and we either have him out of his depth in the premier league (again) or we have a totally inexperienced Shearer out of his depth in the premier league (again) - And whatever reservations anyone may have, he's still odds-on to be our next manager after Hughton.

Viduka was good at that and it was something we lacked so much that it was worth playing him in spite of him having the acceleration of an oil rig. Nice to see someone capable of having the ball stick to him and hold it up who also has some other qualities to bring to the game as well.
