Ah kingdom don't be so sensitive im only messin with ye with all the fuss over Mccarthy and what not a bit of escapism is good - even at your expense :-))

[Crosby87]

Speaking of Kingdom did anyone see the movie "Animal Kingdom?" Check it out if not. Its like an Aussie 'Goodfellas.' Highly recommend it.

[paul_oshea]

Its about that guy in Melbourne isn't it?* I havent googled but i could be completely wrong. He was seriouslly sly, and he was sharing with 3 mates away from everyone else, one of the "3" mates, killed him in the end. They were a well known family. Ive read about that guy loads of time strangely enough and i dont know why, must have been on breakingnews

*if not ignore the rest of the paragraph, if you got here though there is a good chance you already read the whole lot.

And wont need to watch the film now.

[paul_oshea]

Exactly, dont mind crosby its crap

[geysir]

Eh?
I think my mate Junior was referring to the spoiler in the first sentence.

I doubt if film reviews/appreciation are your forte Paul but wtf goes on in your head?
BTW, I am not asking you to tell me.

[paul_oshea]

Yes he was and i was saying there is no need to watch it now that i told him the story as its crap.

I didn't know ye were mates though

[geysir]

Seeing as it's a highly regarded film, forgive me if I don't take your word for it just yet.
Do something useful, like put the spoiler black shade over the spoiler text or remove the spoiler text from that reply.
Can't think which is worse, a spoiler or a snitch?

[shakermaker1982]

I've added this film to my blockbuster list now to see what all the fuss is about! I've also tried my best to blank out Paul's plot summary.....quick google research = it has got a lot of good reviews.

[paul_oshea]

See it all worked Crosby was involved in producing the movie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pettingill_family

its a different family its based on. I didnt give away anything, but they do get involved with the guy I mentioned above, at least in real life. Anyway its an Italian style mafia film, surely its not that difficult to figure out whats going on and what happens in the end

[Crosby87]

Its just about this crime family where the woman (The family mother) who plays the lead is the worst of all. She is really good in it.
The first scene is hilarious/ Disturbing having to do with a Drug overdose... Check it out if ya haven't.

I'm waiting to get an update from Barry Norman on this thread!

[theworm2345]

Apparently has returned to training

Somebody in the thread said he's targeting Saturday's game against West Brom for a return. Hope he's not taking it too fast this time. Sunderland have more midfield options than they did before Christmas so hopefully Bruce is't forced to play him.

Not sure how accurate that is, there is nothing else about him training online. I even looked at his Twitter and theres nothing there about anything of the sort (maybe there wouldn't be anyway).

Likewise, I've been monitoring any updates on his return like a hawk. He was injured on 5th Jan and was told it was to be "at least 10 wks." It is now 13 weeks later. He seems to be more concerned with his online gaming at the moment rather than returning to premiership football. There has been no sign of him in the reserves yet, including the 4-2 loss yesterday against Arsenal. So it is highly unlikely he will appear against West Brom

[paul_oshea]

i just hope he is back in time to get into the squad for the away games in the US, as i doubt he will be called in for northern ireland or scotland game.

[rebelmusic]

He's officially expected back in April. I'd say he'll make the next reserves game unless Bruce bumps him up the queue like last time.

[Crosby87]

He needs to get healthy and be involved so his page count can shoot up 50 or so like James McCarthy's.
They are close in age but Mac is dominating.
I'm sure there will be some issue between he and Trap at some point however.

If he has become a naturalised British citizen he would be eligible for any of the Home Nations. A well placed comment from Steve Bruce and he'll surely reach McCarthy's level.
