That is countered by the arrival into the UK of many overseas professionals particularly in medicine and engineering from places like India Swings and roundabouts

Huckabee won't be his running mate The rumours in America are that Condy Rice will be Mc Cain's VP, a highly intelligent woman and would also help gain the black vote at the expense of Obama

Because being a Conservative in UK terms I have a natural allegiance towards the GOP in America although I despise Bush

It should be based on the contribution made to society, proven evidence of strong competence in English, full allegiance to the laws of the crown, length of time in this country and so on

I think it is far better to focus on those that are actually committing criminal acts under the influence of alcohol as opposed to target a few bored young lads killing time that are doing no harm I would rather for police focused their attention on real crimes

The damage of letting Northern Rock go under would have cost the UK economy many many times more than it did to bail it out

Obama would be a disaster He is a very charismatic guy and I give him full credit as a speechmaker and orator but he is far too inexperienced for the oval office, he has spent most of his career as a junior senator and assistant to the district attorney yet with his limited experience he is meant to be put in charge of the most powerful nation on earth ? big mistake He needs at least 1 term as a vice president

So do I It will be easier for Mc Cain to win than it will be for Mc Cain to beat Obama As someone who wants Mc Cain in the White House I fully endorse Hillary ;)

f***ing hell !!!! Has Jol put on a latex mask of Ramos and tied Juande up in a cellar ??????????? Wtf is the sense in taking Keane off and bringing on Kaboul ?? we should be pressing for a 3rd and wtf if it goes to penalties ??? Keane is our 2nd big penalty taker !! Dumb dumb dumb move

When Uncle Buck was in charge we would have rolled over and died against the likes of Chelsea but we have shown under Ramos that we are a different team now and can give all of the top teams really tough games Spurs are back :cheer:

Woody :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Berbs :cheer: :cheer:

They are big in terms of fanbase I would say overseas only Man Utd, Liverpool and Arsenal are better known, in Malaysia I saw more Newcastle stuff on sale than I did Chelsea or Spurs even in the Petaling Sq markets and so on, Newcastle are a massive club even if they are not prolific trophy winners I regularly saw them sell out the Park Lane end at Spurs v Newcastle games and given the distance to Spurs that is massive support so they are a team that I respect

WTF was Robbo playing at :manson: I know the profits of pie vendors around White Hart Lane will fall massively if Robbo left but please please in the name of god sell this f***ing fat clown in the summer Ramos

Support, fan base, top players playing for them in recent years like Shearer, Owen, Asprilla and so on, they are globally known Losing a club with the giant fanbase of Newcastle and having them replaced by say Bristol City or Plymouth for example will not be good for the Premiership

If I was the parent of a teenage child in that area I would be out of my f***ing mind with worry right now given what is happening My views on suicide are well documented on other threads so no need to repeat them here

To those taking the p*** out of Newcastle it really would not be good for the premiership if they went down Love them or hate them they are a MASSIVE club and it would devalue the premiership to lose such a giant when there is mickey mouse dross like Wigan, Reading, Fulham, Derby and other such clubs cluttering up the premiership I hope Newcastle stay up

Yeah Wenger is a Grade A c**k he really is Gets all high and mighty about this sort of thing but conveniently doesn't see Eboue on Terry, Eboue on Nani, other players on Nani and so on The guy is trailer trash with a suit

I would be surprised if he is playing in the next 9 months tbh The likes of Alan Smith and Cisse and Larsson made full recoveries from similar injuries so I do not believe it will end his career but certainly we won't be seeing him again in 2008

Having seen a video of the tackle it was late and his studs were showing so under the rules of the game a red card was no real choice but to send him off but I do not think there was any malice or bad intent there, the standard 3 match ban for a straight red is sufficient penalty :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: @ Gallas :manson:

yes :o An even worse one here :( OUCH

DO NOT CLICK IF EASILY SHOCKED its a bad one alright :o :o Reminds me of Cisse's injury, hope like Cisse he gets to play again

I think that is a bit premature :unsure: I can remember Djibril Cisse's injuries where his leg was contorted at terrible angles and bone sticking out etc but he made a full recovery and went on to play professional football again Much as I despise the Scum and everyone associated with them I hope he makes a full recovery
