Not sure of this has been mentioned above and can't be arsed to check: Adam Curtis: Bitter Lake http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02gyz6b/adam-curtis-bitter-lake If you're wondering why that background noise of beheadings/burnings and radicalism won't go away then you simply need to watch this documentary. Trippy and intriguing.

4 and 6. It will be their first festival and first camping experience so although tempted by a week thought I'd ease them in with four days. Cheers for the pub heads up. James McMurtry - Childish Things

I'm pretty sure he didn't win a European Championship with the Netherlands in 1992. Poor.

Sleepy Sun - Embrace (been too long since I listened to this) Tickets booked for Green Man. Sum total of £15 for my kids - the best education they'll get (as long as I keep them away from Hot Chip - a slightly less worse version of Groove Armada) See you at Hookworms/Calexico/Goat/Viet Cong.

Likewise - a bargain for kids too.

Yeah - that's clearly it. FFS. Maybe we're trying to sign one. Maybe we're not. How many decent strikers are going to move/be allowed to move in January? Can you give us a list of potential targets? I'd be interested to know who you think is decent AND likely to move to us in January.

Typical pant-****ing comments from all the usual suspects on here. Thought you lot would've learnt to keep the kneejerking under control after your summer humiliation. We pretty much dominated the game and got hit with a sucker punch. It happens - get over it. Not sure about all the Tadic hate - he was the best player on the pitch in the 1st half - although I was surprised to see Reed taken off instead of him. 3 big players to come back, a run of winnable fixtures (plus competitors taking points of each other) and 4th in the Premier League in February.....everything's rosy, right?

My favourite part of this thread. Seeing Turkish made to look like a **** (again).

Brings back fond memories of staying in the Corner Post and getting battered instead of going to the match (Branfoot days - it was preferable). Playing pool and eating the infamous cheese and onion rolls while under the influence. Happy days.

Likewise. 20/30 years ago FA Cup meant something. Means **** all these days. If winning a trophy because every other decent team puts out a second string team/has been knocked out makes you happy then fair enough. Personally competing with the best teams in the country week in week out is more important to me than scabbing a last minute undeserved equaliser and hoping we win the replay and then get a **** team in the next round. Pointless competition that was ****ed the moment the FA allowed United to enter World Club competition in 2000 (or whenever)

Both Mum and Dad's family are from Locks Heath. Being border country, one family are skates and one Saints. Never lived there myself but lots of time spent with grandparents and both Nick Holmes and Steve Moran as local heroes didn't leave me with much choice.

Well, you're in a minority of 3 on a thread of nearly 40 posts so maybe you need to reassess your opinion of him (or your understanding of football) 'his passes go stray often' - funny that his pass completion is nearly 87% this season. Better than Fabregas and Silva amongst others.

http://riderhd.org/ is all over the shop. Any other streams around?

Can't go along with that, I'm afraid. Funeral is a very good album though. Just discovered Giant Sand (via Calexico). I like it.

It really is a very fine album.

Where does 70 points finish historically? Top 4?

Yeah draw would be fine. Wouldn't have been too disappointed with a point from both United and Newcastle so 3's good, 4 better and 6 would be nuts.

Are you a ninja?

You wouldn't want him. End of. Anyone who says otherwise is talking shi'ite. Man City, Spurs etc will not be taking a punt on him this window or next. I'd also be surprised if we've offered him a substantial deal based on 8 months out and a couple of dodgy operations. If we have, then he should grab it with both hands (there'll be nothing to stop him moving in the future anyway should his career continue upwards)

Have I missed something? Has Koeman said Elia is starting? Seems like a bold, but welcome, move if so.

Just to qualify that...I do like it...I just feel a bit uncomfortable about it. I see they're playing at the Guildhall - actually a band whose sound might benefit from the murky acoustics. Think I might get along to it.

The War On Drugs - Lost In the Dream Still persevering with this. Can't decide if it's 80s MOR rubbish or not. Just a touch of the Chris Rea about it....

Quality day out that one. Celebrations were carnage when that went in. Probably in my top 5 awaydays.

Of course they do. Poor ratings and they get accused of wasting licence fee money.

Cheers.
