  1. NFL: It's a Dog Eat Dog World for Vick...

    The NFL season starts next week, and no player will be more thankful to be a part of the big Kick Off than Philadelphia's Michael Vick. Vick, fresh from serving 18 months of a 23 month sentence for running an illegal dog-fighting ring, saw his indefinite suspension from the League repealed in...

    Just how bad are things really?

    This isn't intended as a rose tinted post and I am certainly not seeing all things as sunshine and flowers as someone suggested on another thread. But at times like this it is very easy to be swept along on a bandwagon of fear and despair, with an awful lot of statements being made that are...

    Do we want this woman back?

    Foreign Office Minister Chris Bryant said: "We do not condone any crimes involving illegal drugs. We work around the world to combat the use of illegal drugs."However he added the transfer was "excellent news" Excellent news for who? Certainly not the British Tax payer

    Free Speech? Not Here Mate

    As a Jewish person, I found the internet postings of Simon Sheppard and Stephen Whittle regarding holocaust denial extremely offensive, but do such things really warrant a five year jail sentence? And why have harsh punishments such as these not been meted out to Islamist hatemongers? Here's the...

    Police dogs die in car

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/8129826.stm I hope the people who left the dogs in the car get the 6 months in prison and the £20,000 fine along with it. Now most likely, the people involved will get a telling off and told to be more careful about what they do. No prison...

    Gerrard Is The Write Stuff

    Steven Gerrard is the Football Writer's Player of the Year. That's better. You see, if you want something done properly, ask a journalist. Admittedly, that saying only holds water if what you want is to have someone drink all the beer in your fridge, or spell something incorrectly, but for once...

    Tyne Is Running Out

    Newcastle United are going down. Whatever you read in the press, whatever club sources say on the website, they are circling the drain ready to be sucked down into the Championship. There is no hope on Tyneside anymore. Their supporters, more than anyone else at the club, realise that this is...
  8. Drop The Champions League and Step Away from the Football, ITV...

    Right, i've just about had my fill of ITV attempting to fumble their way through a live sports coverage now. Everything, right down to the very core, is just downright awful on ITV, but let's start with a few of the major errors that have struck me. 1) The presenting team and pundits. Steve...

    Does The Big C Make You A Big C?

    I'm just in from my daily walk. Despite the cold my face is burning up. Although the wander was a modest one, to Southchurch Park, the seafront and then back home, my body aches all over and I'm far too tired for a bloke of my age to be. You see, people, I have cancer - and I'm fare more...

    Solving this recession/economic slowdown malarky

    Now, I reckon I'd make a great Prime Minister, I'd model myself on Hugh Grant in Love Actually, mainly cos I'd belt Martine McCutchen, but anyway. So, solving this gloomy problem. Build prisons. 5 or 6 massive ones. Would take loads of people to build the things, then would create a load of...
  11. U.K. Justice - absolutely pathetic.

    Partners 31 year old son broke into his 82 year old grandmothers home in sept looking for money to feed his drug habit, causing £250 of damage to her front door and inner beading. This was less than 2 years since his last prison term for robbery, which he served 20 months of a 3 1/2 year...
  12. the prison system!!

    are the jails too cushy? with the prison population at record levels which is costing big money there must be an alternative. my idea, take one of the scottish islands where its in complete sticksville ie no public within 30 miles or any island in england with the same criteria. at the...

    Film/TV Website

    This may have been posted before but this is a great website for TV and films: http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/internet/movies/ Some are poor quality but some are great, watched the new Rambo film this morning and now watching a cracking film called Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon.

  15. Which justice do you prefer?

    Two case scenarios for you to consider. 1.A man convicted of raping and murdering a 16 year old girl has been put to death in Texas despite the international court of justice urging the authorities there not to carry out the sentence. The American state has said its courts are not bound by the...

    Joey Barton

    There is little in this world as infuriating as the sight of a young man, guilty of vicious assault, walking away from a courtroom with just a suspended sentence. There is anger at the clemency, fury at the perception that justice has failed. In the case of Joey Barton, however, there is just an...

    Look

    This seems to be the new buzzword for politicians replacing "in real terms" so prevalent in the 90s. It was bad enough when Blair started using it but now it seems to be widespread. Not only do I find the term condesending in the extreme but used at the start of every sentence it appears to be...
  18. "Everyone has a book in them."

    After reading a couple of very poor novels in quick succession my wife and i were having a discussion about this, when she came out with the old line that supposedly "everyone has a book in them." Personally i think it is a load of rubbish as i don't believe that the billions of people out in...

  20. Play-off memories...

    Hi everyone, I'm returning to work on Blues News for the next issue, and wanted to get a few snippets from fans on their memories of the last play-off campaign. Just a sentence or so on something that sticks in the memory would be much appreciated, together with your name, where you live and...
