I see they have suspended assistant manager Mauricio Taricco and first-team coach Charlie Oatway too.....
Strange if it is about his comments.... more to this than meets the eye methinks..

Morning all, thanks for the coffee AK. Very excited this morning, the Lancaster Bomber has taken off from Lincolnshire and if I'm lucky it might be flying over my area on its way to Biggin Hill. I love seeing the old girl fly!!!
Hmm - a stitch up? I'd say that is more likely to have come out of Hollowhead's mouth than Poyet's arse!
Yay, hospital was a first come first served maintenance workshop, I got there 90 minutes before it opened, so was first in the queue! How very British to be good at queueing
I remember queueing for something in London a few years ago, somebody approached me and said, "is this the back of the queue?" I said, "no, it's the front, we're all facing backwards!"
Thanks for the caramel latte Ak, I thought it was the Welsh who had leeks in their garden!

I think it was Dr Johnson who said "an Englishman alone forms an orderly queue of one..."

I have had great experiences of queuing in India
Mind you the funniest was in Turkey some years back.... where we had bought our numbered tickets and the when the bus was ready to board there was an almighty fracas, pushing and fighting etc... and we all had allocated seats it turned out....

Thank's for the 606 link Yorkie - was good to see so many old posters...
What kills me is on SleazyJet and RyanScare - you pay extra for priority boarding so that you can choose your seats on the plane and end up getting priority boarding on the bus to the plane and join the queue up the gang-plank with everyone else! Classic

Good laugh !Don't start on about Ryanair
It happens so many times eh.... We use it to France a lot... Mme Yorkie thinks it brings out the worst in me as I try to get on the plane and get three seats together....A whole new approach to queuing! On one occasion I got three seats and Mme was about 4 people behind and this guy got on and sat in the seat next to me I was keeping and refused to move.... a sort of principle I guess... and he was on his own.... I think he must be dead now or in serious incapacity as I cursed him throughout the flight 
I have no talent for joining the right queue. In supermarkets I always finish up behind the bloke who's forgotten his wallet, the woman who needs to go off to the far end of the place to look for a box of matches or the person who disputes for half an hour whether or not they should be allowed to use their 20p voucher. Such people should wear a highly visible badge...

If someone's only got 2 or 3 items then I let them go in front of me. I used to assume everyone did the same. Why is it then, when I have 2 or 3 items the people in front of me with 7 trolleys, a holdall full of tupenny pieces and a book of vouchers bigger than the Bible don't reciprocate?

and the same with traffic queues eh......
I had a great experience at the Hull City car park.... in a gridlock queue to get out.... several streams joining the line... and by a quirk of chance.. the only way my stream could get advance one car was if the main flow actually stopped to let one of us go.... I was at the head of this and it took maybe 20 cars and 20 minutes before any one car would let me join the flow ... people were actually closing the gaps that were there to stop others getting in.... admittedly Hull had just lost..... but.... Of course I then let loads of people from the other streams in...
I think some people are just too frightened or desperate that they will lose out.....
Busses are the worst now. You can be standing right by the door and people will push you just to get on first. It beggars belief really - the bus isn't going anywhere and you'll still get on so why do it? If you have kids with you they. Of course, then ask why you bother to queue in the first place.
I blame the huge influx of foreigners - they simply don't know, don't ye know.
Just spotted SSN's Goal of the Week List - decisions, decisions - do I vote for Deeney or do I vote for Vydra?
I remember years ago staying on a small Greek island with no bank. Cash arrived via the ferry in a large van once a week. Cue absolute chaos. Fortunately we couldn't understand the various curses emanating from anyone who thought it was their turn before us. Strangely, the islanders were so laid back as to be almost comatose the rest of the week.

Skill -V
or
Glory - D
mmm......?
How about neither as we don't want the risk of it meaning that they won't score at Wembley. Especially Vydra, as his drought occurred after he was named Championship player of the month.

It comes from an English phrase 'A night on the tiles' Where you go out on the town on the booze & with the Ladies till the early hours of the morning. I think it comes from Cats staying out all night after the Ladies, they were always depicted as being on roof tops covered with tiles.
