Tom seems to spend an awful lot of time on here trying to convince himself that our kit isn't the worst thing to grace the earth

I'm going. Bring your firm's top boys along and i'll bring the Toontastic massive and we'll have a right proper tear up. You know where the Life Centre is? Meet us there at 7pm. There's Magma, the only thing more cutting than his rapier wit is the Stanley knife he packs with him to every meet, then there's Wacky, he may only be 3 foot tall but his Glasgow kiss to the cock will turn you into a jaffa. You have to watch out for Rob W too, he was in the front line at Agincourt so he knows how to use a bow and arrow. I'm not even going to mention Kid Dynamite. Now now, football is a game of passion not violence. I will destroy you.

Mot. What an apt name.

Yes. There have been times when I have wanted to do myself in. It's becoming so bloody tedious reading about the awful state this club is in, especially when very little of note has been said over the past few weeks. It does seem to descend into a "I think we're more fucked than you think" contest at times Helen Daniels

If we'd been taken over 2 months ago i'd say Shearer should get the job. Give him ample opportunity to have a full crack at getting the club out of the shite and into the Premiership. If he's good then that's fantastic, if not then at least we know. Now I just want a decent, proven manager (NOT JFK or Hughton) to steer us through the storm. Coppell, Curbs, Strachan etc. could all do a very good job IMO.

I would love Schumacher to come back, mainly because i'm a fan boy but also because i've no doubt in my mind he'd still be competitive. I doubt it'll happen, I know Willi Weber has said it wont, but you never know in F1. Four weeks is a very long time and knowing that the drive is his if he wants it, he could just go out and have a bit of fun and having LDM in his ear may sway him. Badoer and Gene don't stand a chance. They're decent test drivers but neither will be rated highly enough to take a spot on the grid. IIRC Badoer was the test driver in '99 and wasn't even considered when Schumi broke his leg. Bourdais has been mentioned since he, like Massa, is managed by Nicholas Todt but he'd probably be even worse than the test drivers There isn't a hope in hell that Renault will release Alonso early either. Both teams are in direct competition this year and if they're serious about getting rid of Piquet they wont want to lose Fernando either. Can you imagine them having a totally new driver line up at Valencia (if they race)? I hope Ferrari fish someone out of that pool of washed up, 30+ drivers simply for the craic. JV would be fucking hilarious

Aside from the obvious, the scary thing this picture highlights is how much damage inanimate objects can cause at high speed. You then compare it to this image which is Senna's helmet after his fatal crash at Imola in 1994 where his wheel hit him and a piece of suspension arm still attached to the wheel pierced the helmet and his skull. There were rumours abound that when the first marshalls got to Senna, they found his helmet filled with blood so much so they could barely see his face - something that at the time, I thought was dramatic probably through Chinese Whispers.... Now I'm not so sure. Photos of Senna before and after his helmet do apparently exist (taken by Angelo Orsi, picture editor of Autosprint magazine) and have been seen by his family though they're never likely to see the light of day and are said to be held within a safe at the publishing headquarters of Autosprint in Italy. There was a lot of blood around the scene of the accident afterwards. There was a video of some foreign coverage (may have been Eurosport actually) on YouTube I saw a year or two ago which spent much more time broadcasting pictures of the doctors and stewards trying to save Senna than Sky did and the amount of claret was really unnerving.

City of God This Is Spinal Tap Pulp Fiction

The same thing crossed my mind about things happening in twos. I find it difficult to take Jackie Stewart seriously as some sort of safety crusader btw. He was perfectly happy to keep driving past and pick up the points as Roger Williamson burned to death in his car at Zandvoort even though David Purley repeatedly tried to flag him (and plenty of other drivers) down. I hope Felipe makes a full recovery, particularly as his wife is five months pregnant, but the news about the eye injury doesn't sound good for his racing career. The Williamson incident was tragic and i'm sure in hindsight the other drivers would've stopped had the known the situation fully. Haven't a lot of people, from the stewards to the drivers, said they thought it was Purley's car alight hence the reason the race wasn't stopped? Regardless of what you think about him for that incident alone he did do a lot of good.

Hardy Bucks The Viper is the fucking don

To have young Henry Surtees die from such an incident was unlucky but Massa to have a similar accident within the same week is not only freaky but worrying. I'm not superstitious in any way but motor racing incidents always seem to come along in twos (Roland and Ayrton). People forget motor racing is dangerous. The improvements in F1 especially have been so drastic that a lot of people forget injury and death is a real hazard rather than just a nightmare. There have been so many crashes, such as Kubica in Canada, Hakkinen/Coulthard & Wurz in Oz, that could've seen a fatality but thanks to people like Sir Jackie Stewart, Michael Schumacher, David Coulthard etc. the sport is much safer. That's not top say it's devoid of death but the hard work that has went into F1 since Roland's and Senna's death needs to be commended. I hope Felipe Baby is fine. Fingers crossed we'll see him again this season.

Speaking of Queen i'm listening to the new Muse choon. There's a fine line between inspiration and plagarism.

Stop yer whinging. You're in the Premier League.

Mine aren't coming up Mr. Ryder hates me.

Phillips became one of the countries top strikers while he was at Sunderland, rather than turning class elsewhere and opting to move there. Our problem hasn't been buying big name players, it's been buying the wrong big name players. We should've went for Anelka instead of Owen, anyone instead of Coloccini etc. When we've had a good manager such as SBR or Keegan they've managed to fuse buying big names with success, it's just we've had complete doylums doing the wheeling and dealing for the most part Newcastle is the only city which really stands a fighting chance of attracting big players who don't already have links to the region because it's more cosmopolitan and easier on the eye. Without wanting to sound too much like a snob while Sunderland does have it's attractions it's never going to set the pulse of someone on 70-80k a week racing. It speaks volumes that a lot of Sunderland players have/still do live in Newcastle. That's not to say Newcastle is the most amazingly attractuve city on earth, we have our fair share of players who have left because they didn't like it e.g. Jenas.

He's only 16 isn't he?

I think the RROD is sorted on the newer version of the 360. If not Microsoft are quite happy to take it away and fix it so long as you're in warranty.
