The fact Hitchins was anti-euthanasia and at least somewhat anti-choice in terms of abortion really put me off him to a great extent despite the fact that I agreed with a lot of his writings.

What are you on about? He's scored more free kicks than any player in the league over the last 5 years. He's not amazing otherwise but he's the definition of a free kick specialist.

Personally I'd say "Something Else" "Face To Face" Village Green" and "Arthur" by The Kinks are a better 4 albums than the ones you mentioned. I do appreciate the Beatles were great though, I just think the Kinks have the edge on them myself. Liked how you didn't mention Sergeant Pepper, most overrated Beatles album by far imo.

Didn't like Blur or Oasis much, liked Pulp to some extent. As for the other debate, The Kinks were by far the best 60s band in my opinion.

There most certainly are Perch (obviously) and Gosling

Eric Djemba-Djemba came on for Odense in the last 5 minutes, that must have been the turning point.

Finished 2-2 Fulham out of Europe, very poor 2nd half performance.

Had somehow forgotten that scene. It's high time they re-made Trainspotting with Michael Portillo playing every character.

Can't see them paying 20 million though, they're already pissing around with loan deal offers for Tevez to fill in for Cassano.

Hard to see where he'd go in Spain. Barca don't need him and he despises Real Madrid (doubt Mourinho would want him that badly anyway). The only other team that could realistically afford him are Malaga but I doubt he'd be keen on that. Wonder would PSG be an option.

Originally thought it could do with a remix featuring clips of Portillo shooting up or a baby with Andrew Neil's head on the ceiling but then decided it's perfect as it is.

Cringe-tastic

Aye, playing week in week out in a top ten team would normally warrant at least 20k a week so it's sort of understandable. Like others said though, it won't be the end of the world if he leaves. Shouldn't prove to difficult to replace even within the Ashely budget.

Happy Birthday!

Correction! One quarter of Abba (Frida) is Norwegian. The singer in Aqua is also Norwegian, not to mention A-ha. So they do alright when it comes to europop...

I'd say that if Tiote is sold for say 20 million, we might spend 3-7 million on a replacement, and maybe another 4 million or so on a player in a different position, the other ten million will not go on players. This is far from ideal (and as Alex says, would not be the attitude of the clubs that currently surround us in the table) but there's nothing that can be done about it. Best bet it to hope the relatively cheap replacements are decent which they may well be.

In theory we should be well clear in 7th if not overtaking Liverpool after those games depending on how things go.

Wouldn't feel as worried about Perch with Colo back though.

Time to get the football manager ratings (are they still all rated out of 20?) for the REAL debate to take place.

Forest fans were by no means upset to see him leave which didn't fill me with confidence.

By the time we play Bolton Coyle might have gotten the sack with the new manger effect coming at just the wrong time for us. That said, Bolton's squad is pretty dire so it probably wouldn't matter.

Difficult to judge how players will adopt to the league regardless of their previous history in other leagues. Some just seem to work while others fail miserably.

agreed, great team and all that but what a bunch of pricks

fastest goal in el classico history that
