The obvious point he's making is that it would make sense to criticise the defenders who aren't performing before crititcising the one defender who looks decent. Focusing on the latter suggests an agenda.

Aye, the press coverage will be excruciating if they beat us.

Definitely spakka'd off the tablets

Hope it all goes well for you, Stevie. A lot of people are thinking about you.

Or speak to this bloke:

There are companies that do it. They'll usually pick stuff up from a business and do it on a regular basis but I would imagine they would provide a one-off service. Not sure about the costs. Maybe get a quote and see if it's worth buying one instead? Tbh, I think it's not so much your account numbers as people using your name and address for identity fraud.

Siems that way, doesn't it?

Aye, the format spoils it a bit. The T20 world cup has more of the feel of the old tournament, which was over in about 3 weeks. I think it's 6 or 7 weeks long now, which is too long. I appreciate the ICC wants to develop the game and so on but you've got 6 'minnows' in there. I know some of them, particularly Ireland in recent times, have pulled off some major shocks so I think they have their place but 6 is too many. I would probably only have 2 but even reducing it to 4 and getting rid of one round of matches in each group could probably knock a week off the tournament. All about telly/money though.

And, as the previous page shows, you really know your cricket

Not really, seeing as Pardew is right up there with Keegan and Bobby Robson.

No counter argument mind. Unsurprisingly.

I think it's plausible. He doesn't seem to be anything like his portrayal in things like JFK and some of the unofficial theories. The police ditched him as an informer because he made up stuff about people with rival night clubs instead of actual crimes. I think it's possible he thought he'd have been lauded as a hero for killing Oswald. There's nothing in Ruby's own comments which suggest otherwise either.

I assume you're taking the piss like. I think there's a debate about Oswald's motives and whether he acted alone (I tend to think he did) because he got killed so soon after the event but the version of events which places him as the killer at the book depository is the only show in town. I didn't use to think that but subsequently discovered all the conspiracy theories I'd heard are the ones playing fast and loose with the facts. They're all outlandish upon closer inspection.

Quite fancy 11-22-63 as the whole JFK thing has fascinated me since seeing loads of stuff about the various conspiracies when it was the 25th anniversary back in 1988. Even if I have come round to the conclusion the official version is pretty much the only theory which holds any water.

Freddie?

He hates the Dutch.

Were those two lines meant to go together?

Gite ladgeful

He never criticised Wilson either.

Yeah, rural areas are the last place you'd expect to find a gîte

Reminded me of "Florida's horrider than Whitley Bay..." for some reason.
