    What are you working for?

    Are you sure they meant a car? Goal setting exercises can be more about personal fulfillment, where you want to get to in your life (and, from their point of view, how you will develop in the job to get your life where you want it to be). You had the interview, not me, so I might be wrong :-0...

    RIP Eddie the Seagull...

    Very sad news. My heart goes out to you and your family xxx

    No disrespect to the Championship but ...

    When will Newcastle realise it's about winning matches, not how 'big' the club is, how passionate the supporters are, or the messiah ranking of the manager???

    Suppose we're lower mid-table at Xmas...

    I think continuity is vital. Going down isn't an option (if we were really struggling then Something Might Have to Be Done) and I think we'll do much better than that. I've no stats to back this up but I think clubs that let a manager stick around and do their job get more success, in the long...

    Hold your horses

    Clearly I don't know who's going to be in the squad. Did I ever say I did? The confidence I'm talking about is the confidence that comes from knowing that money is being put into the club - the stadium, and the squad that will be built to bring (relative) success, when spend wisely. The...

    Hold your horses

    Yes well to be honest I was one of them. I thought we'd build on the strong finish the previous season once we had Mickey Adams back. Oh well, no-one knew the Adams we were getting was a different version:-( We are a totally different club now, which is why I think we'll have added confidence...

    Hold your horses

    We got into this discussion when relegation was a real possibility last season. A few of us were posting along the lines of 'we can still do this, not over yet by a long way'. Mostly the response was (paraphrasing) 'face it, we're down, Slade's not making any difference, why can't you just...

    Ipod touch/itunes question

    There is some software around that allows you to transfer data from your iPod to your new 'puter. Apple don't officially allow data to flow in that direction but the software is free and works well. Sorry, don't have a link - Google will help or have a look in one of the better Apple forums...

    NSC moaners - unbelievable

    What I don't understand is the number of people - in various threads - asking "I hope he's genuine". He's not someone no-one's ever heard of turning up out of the blue with promises and no money. He's been genuine enough to keep the club running for ages now. Why would he state he was funding...

    The Truth!!!!

    This is what some posters seem to be overlooking. I don't claim to have any inside information and it seems clear that TB has kept the club solvent for the past few years, as well as providing the funds to buy a player or two. He clearly has the funds! Maybe him financing Falmer was always the...

    Non-story from Sky: "Apes can plan ahead"!

    Clearly animals can. And humans are animals. Except not always great at planning ahead ... Apart from that, agreed this is important, especially as the behaviour ceases in the winter when there are no visitors around. All animals are more intelligent than we give them credit for.

    Certain relegation after today.

    I know results have to improve but "there really is no way back now"??? WTF? :angry: Clearly my copy of the league table is wrong and we're 10 points adrift at the bottom. Wait ... no ... its all still in our hands isn't it?

    We are going down

    If nothing had changed at the club I'd agree. I'm putting my faith in a new manager and five loan signings. Guess I'm thinking that past performance is not a guarantee of future failure. Of course Slade could make no difference whatsoever and the new players could be useless. I'd rather believe...

    We are going down

    What if ... We needed 4 points to get into a play-off position with 13 games to go. How many would be posting 'that's it, we can't go up now'? Very disappointing to lose today. But Slade only really gets down to work on Monday, and the new loanees could start to gel. Of course losing today...

    any one else suffered from depression?

    Been there with depression myself. In fact it led me to what I do now - NLP and hypnosis, both of which can make a huge difference to depression. Stay off medication if you possibly can, and if not make certain you look carefully at side effects. As a med. student you'll know about that but...

    Funding for these new players

    The Blooms have been involved for years. It seems to me their money is vital to keeping the club running just now. It will be years, if ever, before they see any of that money back. (By the way when they fund a player or manager is that in the form of a loan to the club? In which case it's...

    The new U2 cd

    Remember there's always Spotify if you want to hear it (and much else besides). Quality streaming all for free. I like the U2 album - need to hear it a lot more to decide if it's a great one though. This has been an unsponsored service announcement :-)

    Appointment Delayed

    \ :thumbsup: I was just about to post something similar and you've done the job for me, thank you for taking time to see some reality. What's with the 'just get a manager in now' posts? Just anyone? So then there's further scope for moaning when it's not the right appointment? It's always...
