My kitchen is small and not very light and I think that colour would look wrong in mine. Ours is a very light yellow. Almost in between yellow and cream.

Bring it back for the ones who act up, definitely. I couldn't believe that lad getting in such a state over holding a snake. I held a snake when I was about 7.

I've just spoken to my mate who's spent the last month in Kenya, and he says it's hotter here than in Nairobi.

Reading History and working out alternative scenarios

But he wants to continue playing for England. Nah, time to go altogether, I think.

I think Ronaldo's been very clever. He wants a move to Real Madrid. Man U say no. Ronaldo winds up Rooney. As Shearer said afterwards Rooney might want to "stick one on him" when they both return to Man U. Ronaldo may have created a situation wher Rooney can't play with him. Man U won't sell Rooney, so they'll sell Ronaldo instead. Real Madrid buy Ronaldo.

sven's fault = shite tactics/decisions

We had good enough players, but I'm afraid the problem laid with the manager. I'm sorry, but the bloke was on £4m a year and with the players we had, we should have done better. The first mistake was the one everyone's been going on about since the squad was announced, 4 strikers, when one striker was coming back from injury, another, we didn't know if he'd be back in time and if he was what state he'd be in, and anothet was a 17 year old who hadn't played in the Premiership and had only been seen on video by the manager. I don't know of anyone who was happy with that, and it's been proven to be correct, and then he doesn't even get a sniff at being played. I'm sorry but you don't do that. Had it been a Michael Owen in 98 type scenario, with him playing in the Premiership and showing his talent and scoring goals at that level, fair enough, you can make the case. But to pick a player who hasn't played at that level, who you haven't actually seen play, it is NOT what you do in a the f*cking World Cup Finals. I'm not getting at Walcott, it's not his fault at all, and he may well be very talented, I've no reason to doubt it, but he is unproven and the world cup is not the place for 17 year old unproven players. Jermain Defoe must be f*ckin sick, and rightfully so, he should have gone. And another fifth striker should have gone instead of an extra midfielder (Jenas). Darren Bent, someone like that, hell, I'd have taken Shola over Jenas or Walcott. It was PROVEN to be the wrong decision. Owen gets injured. Does Eriksson use this to give Wlacott even a sniff? Of course not. He doesn't even use Peter Crouch for Gods sake. He sticks Rooney up by himself. As Alan Shearer and Ian Wright both said before the game today, strikers HATE playing as a lone striker, they simply don't get the chances. I don't blame Wayne Rooney for getting sent off, he did not cost us. Eriksson cost us. Having f*cked up on the four strikers and then Owen getting injured, he should have stuck to 4-4-2 and played Rooney and Crouch up front. We played a sh*t system. We played sh*t, and its unfair on the team because THE ABILITY OF THE PLAYER WAS/IS GOOD ENOUGH. Eriksson must take responsibility for this. So today, you had a loan striker, a 20 year, who we all know hasn't the coolest of heads up front on his own. Like Shearer and Wright said, lone strikers get frustrated, that combined with niggling from the Portuguese (and I'm not neccesarily getting at Portugal there as winding up/niggling happens, use it to your advantage if you can, and they did), and Rooney's temprement, led to him getting angry and something silly (although a Red Card seemed harsh. Yellow - maybe). Had Eriksson gone with Rooney and Crouch up front, it could have been different, Rooney wouldn't have got so wound up and frustrated because he would have had someone with him up front. People are going on about Portugal cheating and diving etc. Unfortunately that's part of the game these days and Portugal are no worse than anyone else. It's naive not to expect that I'm afraid. Sad but true. What I would query though is Carragher's penalty. The referee blows his whistle when he feels that both sides are ready. Carragher scored. Ricardo had plenty of time to get himself ready. The ref thought he was ready. To say you weren't ready when you know what's coming and you're given that amount of time to prepare yourself, and the ref believes both parties to be ready is wrong. For the penalty taker to have to retake it is purgatory. I'm angry, not because I think we've been cheated ( I don't think we have particularly), but because we had the players and the tactics, but the decisions and tactics of a greedy man on £4m a year has let us down. Postitives: England fans have more or less behaved themselves and changed a lot of opinons, we've gone out at the same stage as the likes of Brazil and Argentina and after Spain, Holland, Czech Republic etc, and also at least we get to a position where we can be disappointed that we haven't won it. I'd rather have that than a team that never even gives you a sniff of hope like Scotland or Wales. I suppose with them, there's the taking pleasure in the defeat aspect and the if you're sh!te you can't be disappointed factor, but give me the chance to hope and dream that we might, just might do something over that any day. Losing's shit, and too many people when we lose go, oh well we did OK I suppose blah blah blah. It wasn't good enough as far as I'm concerned, but saying that, losing in the quarter finals is better than not qualifying at all.

My Dad used to take us when we were bairns. Ghost Trains weren't scary at all. round the corner and a skeleton's head lights up and goes WAAAAAAAAAAW! and then the car stops briefly and some bloke in a gorilla suit (wtf have Gorillas got to do with ghosts?) would ruffle your hair. The first time I went on the Ghost Train, I remember being very disappointed. I had a similar feeling when I went on the Phantom Manor ride at Euro Disney. What a heap of shit. Quite elaborate and had special effects and stuff but still about as scary as the Ghost Train at the Hoppings.

I'm sure I can remember that as a cartoon strip

crap sport, most summer sports are a pile of shite.

well, lets hope we do!

I doubt Owen's just twisted his knee like. Shola & Luque starting up front next season - yippee.

Was it The Ship in Wardour Street by any chance? That was a bit of a hang out for the Creation/Heavenly record labels in the early nineties. I once spent an afternoon in there with Bobby Gillespie Alan Magee The Gallaghers Tim Burgess and Sarah Cracknell 151023[/snapback] I'm not sure, it could have been. But it wasn't as long ago as that. More like 5 years ago.

Ours were letters, but not in alphabetical order. At our school, the form letters were the first letter of the form teacher's surname, with the year number (7,8,9,10, 11) in front of it.

I used to see him all the time in Spar on Chillingham Road.

Seen several 'celebs' down the years like. A lot of NUFC players past and present. Aside from that..... Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream singer) in a pub in Soho a few years ago. Met Prince Philip when he and the Queen opened the North East Gymnastics Centre (based at my school) when I was 11. Met Mani (ex Stone Roses, now Primal Scream bassist) at Stone Love. Met Goldie Lookin Chain at Northumbria Uni Bulletproof Freshers special in September 2004. Met Muse backstage (I was on the guestlist) at a JJ72 (remember them?) gig in London in 2001. Brian Johnson (ACDC singer), who used to work at Parsons with my dad. My dad's in a band and he turns up at their gigs if he's back in town. Only met him a couple of times though. That's all I can remember meeting or seeing first hand. When I worked at Orange I spoke to one or two. Jack Dee: I kept thinking he's gonna use some really sarcastic putdown, but he didn't. Darren Day: Was an arsehole (didn't suprise me really, as I always had that impression). And, most evil of all...... Marco Gabbiadini: The daft sod rang up because he was in Italy and his phone wouldn't work. Had he rang us to have his handset enabled for roaming before he left the UK? No. He'd just assumed it would be OK. It wasn't. Ha!

Comments from financial experts on Radio 5. Polygon's motives would be to make as much of a profit as they can, as quick as they can. They are NOT in the market in a Football Club for Footballing interests.

Good news. I've no doubts Shola will go on to score 20+ goals next season. Definite contender for the Golden Boot I'd have thought.
