Good occasion for him today (though being honest I never rated him as more than okay) and even though I think Elliot has looked good in patches I thought overall Harper looked safer.

I'm never surprised how thick great numbers of the population are but I don't think dumbing things down helps - I might be idealistic but we should be trying to drag them up.

Hmmm...... Alice Roberts.

You missed the memo where it was changed to aggregate scores.

Reminds me of the Man City game last year - given them a canny game so far but I think we'll buckle later on if they step it up.

The bowel cancer ads and Embarrassing Bodies to name but two. See also the cancer ads using "blood cancer" rather than Leukemia.

The recent adoption of "poo" is one of my major annoyances - as you say very juvenile - as if use of faeces/defecate would be beyond people. it would also provide the perfect response if someone did query the use of the proper terms - legitimate use of "you're as thick as shit".

I remember when they first started showing Italian football on c4 there was a game at the end of the season where Milan needed a point fot the title and the other team needed a point to avoid relegation. It finished 2-2 and James richardson said that that was a completely normal snd expected outcome in Italy.

No - they have teleporters but one of the key plot points is that Scotty invents the ability to teleport onto a ship which is in warp mode. If you're a fan of Sci-fi which I am, you get used to what's known as a CPD - Convenient Plot Device - something which doesn't withstand analysis but helps the story - in this case you could extend Gemmill's point and ask why Kirk rides a motorcycle when he could teleport - the answer is they need to show he was a "rebel" to fit the character. I would guess they used a shuttle so they could have a journey no matter how short to allow the introduction of Bones.

It's strange the are called "UKIP" when they seem very English (and in fact very South East) - I haven't read what their policies are for Scotland and the rest.

Never understood the 5 minutes crew - even if a game is dead anything can happen and if you're that desperate to get a pint quicker or get home even half an hour "earlier" then it's pretty sad. There are exception though - I've left games early 3 times - Cardiff in 83 which was a Wednesday night and the last train left before the end of the game (just saw Beardsley's first goal then fucked off), Liverpool when Owen scored his hat-trick goal and just couldn't face it anymore and Southampton when it was 2-0 at half time and Bennet had just sent Steve Howey off and given a ludicrous pen so I'd had enough (it actually finished 2-1 but never mind).

I should have made it clearer it was a teammate.

My mate was a fan of his before he made the first team after seeing him at a youth tournament at gypsies green stadium when he was captaining the team and a lad talked back at him so Appleby casually wandered over and stuck the nut on him.

Next to Askew is definitely Neilson Appleby was quite a hard looking cunt with longish hair.

Twats - I'm switching off now as the prospect of watching that cunt put his strip on to collect a trophy is far too nauseating.

As well as deciding Marveaux is the best player we have based on his performance against ten of them.

Shit

Interesting. Obviously a win won't relegate the bastards tonight but I hope it makes Quinn shit bricks.

Her son was on the case I think and had tried to help - of course human pride would have reared its ugly head as well.

Aye - in my past rants about train suicides I've slways mentioned the poor driver. The case itself is down to a few factors where the woman was let down but its undeniable that the new law contributed. Actions do have consequences and the least they could have done was put something in place to deal with people pushed this far. Of course my view is that the cunts couldn't care less.

Plus Benitez wouldm't improve the approach - he's even more negative than Pardew (though makes it work a bit better obviously).

So there's no desire to qualify again is how I read it - he knows deep down there wouldn't be enough investment to be able to cope so he's basically saying he'll be happy to finish top 10 but not top 5. That also excuses the domestic cup debacles. It might be realistic in the context of the FC's attitude but it epitomises the cautious approach of the man which underpins his coaching/team selection/tactics.

Probably because everything he's been saying for weeks has been fucking disgusting.

I would sack the cunt just for the Europa league quote never mind anything else - Yeah Alan that pesky modicum of success really ruined things didn't it?

That'll be West Ham then.
