I have no idea. It just pleases me immensely for some reason.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2009/...de-algecirasr-d Includes some interesting references back to "that" Portugal-Netherlands game. At the time I remember wishing the referee had sent the whole lot of them off, just for the (long overdue) discussion it would have provoked.

It's overreactiontastic!

So did my aunt. If you knew a woman from Cramlington whose sole purpose for working was to earn the money to do up the living room and the kitchen every year, it was probably her.

The man is clearly bufoon. Then we can safely sell Given after all. Hurrah!

I swear his quotes sound like a GCSE oral exam response to the "What do you want to do in the future?" question.

A little NSFW perhaps? One for the mods to debate I suppose.

Excellent. We beat Hull, Millwall beat Crewe, then a draw at St. James' gives me a replay within walking distance. What do you mean, priorities?

What the fuck are you doing bothering us when we're on holiday? Even we're not that devoted to the cause. Love, The Tumbleweed

What's interesting is that every time the "Shay to leave" rumours have surfaced over the last five years, we've (mostly) thrown our hands up and said "OK, we'd rather he stayed, but we wouldn't blame him...", knowing full well that he'd feel the pull of loyalty and stick around for more punishment. I just wonder what the reaction will be when our bluff is finally called.

No need to repeat yourself...

They're artificial as anything, both flavour and texture, but then they're Pringles - it's like expecting real chocolate from Cadbury's. They're canny enough.

Got a friend coming over for chili con carne, pink champagne and some dodgy old Eurovision national finals on DVD. Rock the fuck on.

Who the fuck does he think he is? Attempting to bask in the reflected glory of the "sheet metal worker's son from Gosforth" and everything. The man's pure class.

Excellent, will be there for a winter warmer beforehand. Might even wear my black-and-white santa hat if you're lucky. (I shan't say where.)

Would Bassong have been sent off if Heskey had fallen outside the area? I assume he would, but I'd love to know the referee's take.

Ah, Trent definitely not open beforehand? Devastated! Anyone want to suggest an alternative, or is that just heresy? Definitely in afterwards anyway.

Erm, a defender FFS had just been sent off. What did you expect?

We're both saving ourselves for glorious cup runs.

I'm going with that stance, sounds ideal. I'm willing to take the hit to rid the world of Catholics. My martyrdom will be rewarded in heav... oh, wait.

That was spectacularly idiotic of Bassong. And after he'd been looking decent of late.

Why can't this tool on Radio Newcastle pronounce anyone's name? In our line-up today we have Guturez, Collocconi and, most perplexingly of all, N'Gobbia...

Am gonna look really thick now - whats a podcast ? Well in the case of what I listen to it's basically just a posh word for an mp3 of a radio show or two funny blokes talking crap at each other for an hour.
