Apparently we are signing Shelbourne player Karl Sheppard for 100k. I don't know much about him other than he's a teenager and irish.

I think it's a bit like Pop Idol except for football... http://www.soccerdreams.ca/ - winner gets a contract with our great club. This happened in Ireland with us too about three years ago and I can't remember the winner's name - I hope someone here can post it

I've also heard it referred to as a HUB (Hairy Underneath Bit).. back on track.. I personally think he'd be a good addition for this season, he has a lot of european experience from Liege, reasonably good reputation in USA and could help with marketing.. same principle applies to Beasley who's loan has just expired at city and he returned to PSV.

Newcastle have decided to end the interest in signing Gooch on a permanent basis, Moyes was interested before he signed for newcastle he may go in again, he could be good squad player, similar to Lescott in stature.

From Tribalfootball... but he has been linked a lot in the past. Everton are chasing Fenerbahce striker Sanli Tuncay. Sabah says Everton and Villarreal head a queue of clubs chasing Turkey's big attacking star. Tuncay has declared he's ready to leave Fener this summer for a club that "is competing regularly in Europe".

"If someone comes up to me in the street, I'll always say hello, I'll always sign an autograph, I'll always pay my respects. Because I've come from nothing, and now I've got everything, doesn't mean I have to change … To me, the biggest aspect of being a professional is your attitude." - Tim Cahill

Cant remember the exact post Alex (if it was indeed you), it's somewhere around here... you said you felt people claiming off the state should be given a voucher for just essentials and not cigarettes and alcohol. I see essentials as food and I dont need money for rent at the moment (thanks to my lovely parents). I do agree with the idea though

As most of you know Im the scourge of the earth and a parasite on society and Alex Bluenose wants me to live on foodstamps . I had an interview today at the jobcentre because I've been unable to find work for ages. I'm trying to get a bit more exercise so I decided to walk to the jobcentre through a public footpath.. all is well as it is cemented right the way down until you get to Hoylake.. When I get to Hoylake I find that the lane is wet where it meets a main road, even on the concrete, along comes a tractor in the opposite direction... remember barry from eastenders at his wedding? Yup... happened to me. Lucky I had my berghaus on. So I tredged into the jobcentre and the advisor arranged a job interview today at 11am for today at 3pm in the finance dept at the Royal. As soon as I was aware that I had an interview I went to Birkenhead to aquire some new clobber... left the jobcentre at 11:30 and headed straight to birkenhead, arrived at 12:15. Ok so I was in Burtons for half an hour trying to get decent clothes that fitted me. and bought some new pants, shirt and tie especially for this interview. No jackets fitted me because Im a big guy, not Romey size though! When i bought the shirt home the neck was fine but it was too tight around the belly area (god I need to lose weight) and it was in almost Mister Men comical proportions. So I opted for a baggy plain T-Shirt and just hoped they wouldn't pull me up on appearances. So I'm standing there with funeral shoes, black socks, new pants on and a white t-shirt from george with a blue folder (of course) containing a solitary sheet of A4 - my CV which incidentally has my postcode wrong and my mobile number missing (It was made for me by someone from a recent training course and my printer is out of ink so I can't make an accurate one). I walk around the corner knowing what a disaster the day has been so far and what do I see go past? The bloody 437 bus. I walk home knowing today has not been my day and I don't have £25 for a taxi from West Kirby to the Royal. That's over half my weekly income! Once home, I rang the Royal and told them I was unlikely to make it on time and they said they would speak to my job centre advisor (embarassing). They said that because I had rung up to tell them I couldn't make it on time they would not reschedule the interview, they did say that if I had made the effort to get to the Royal and was late they would have interviewed me. Gutted. Still chin up.. While I've got my saveaway I'm going to hand my CV into the pub up the road who are looking for barmen.

Someones a chasing amy fan

According to some on bluekipper Ferrari could be coming back which would be great for the centre back position. Other sources seem to think Nugent and Barton are a done deal. It could be an interesting summer.

He's been doing a q&a session with callers on the radio. Funny thing is... he missed the last train to get home so radio city have to pay for a cab for him

I am toying with the idea of doing a few courses in college; brickwork and plastering for example. Just need to aquire some 'dad skills' and help save me some cash in the long run.

Is that a statement you agree with? If you can't do something just stick at it and it will become easier with experience and practice? For example would you agree to do something you've never done before to try and save money or would you ask someone else to do it because you fear may you not be able to do it and do not want to look like a novice?

I'll make this thread a sticky for maximum exposure.

I can see him being a forest manager in the near future.

He has to be thin so his pants drop off his arse so he can have his EMO belt hold them up around his thighs.

wrongful.. apparently there are two unnamed clubs also in favour of west ham going down. I hope one of them is us

Bloody hell that's 55 grand a week, I personally don't rate him at all either.

FIFA are trying to find out how much MSI paid for half of Manny from Benfica. Sorry about bad english it's a loose translation from portuguese to english using babelfish..

come on scooch

Could be! It was only recently I found out that Lickers partner george is short for Georgina.

I've always thought you were a bloke for some reason.

I am truly sorry to hear that

When your over here you could tour cains brewery and see how real beer is made
