Home made website, ISP email, and quoting names of investers that have never heard of him. Smells like a bullshit merchant.

Seems like a bit of a Walter Mitty

His real name is actually Kevin I know, its Kevin Ferguson, but if he likes it so much why not call himself Kevin Slice ?
-
For someone obsessed with the name Kevin, why call yourself Kimbo ?

I really really enjoyed it, having said that, I was expecting to hate it.

The "if Shola scores, we're on the pitch" chant had me in stitches.

Bit like George Foreman, he has 5 sons all called George.

You saw the best of it in my opinion.

Newcastle interim manager Joe Kinnear has said he has offered former QPR and Tottenham manager Gerry Francis a coaching role at the club. Speaking after watching his side battle back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Everton, Kinnear said he needed more help at St James' Park. "I have known Gerry Francis all my life, he's a great coach," he said. "I know he is tied up with media work so I put an offer to him to come in on Tuesdays and Thursdays." Francis stood down from his manager's position at Bristol Rovers at the end of 2001 and has not had a permanent job in football since. He has been coaching at Premier League new-boys Stoke City on a casual basis and recently spoke of his desire to make the role more official. However, Kinnear appears keen to have the 57-year-old former England captain at Newcastle as he seeks to add some experience to his backroom team. "There is only me and Chris (Hughton), and we have a lot of lads to work with. We need to work in smaller numbers," he added. "Gerry can do some solid work and I will pay him accordingly. He has no desire to be a manager or anything full-time. He won't be involved in anything on Saturdays. "I feel we need someone with that experience. He will not be a number two or anything like that, I will be meeting him for a meal on Monday afternoon to discuss it. There is a good chance something will happen. "If it is not Gerry I will still be bringing someone else in, to specialise in certain things in small groups - defence, midfield, strikers."

More of a rightcross rather than just a jab, looked to have caught him right on the button.

Had to pull out of the fight after suffering a cut eye working out that morning.

Really enjoying The Mentalist, I hope it keeps up the standard.

To be fair to Taylor, I think Phil Neal comes out of it far worse.

The last remaining survivor of the sinking of WWII battle cruiser HMS Hood in May 1941 has died at the age of 85, his naval association has said. Ted Briggs, from Hampshire, was one of just three survivors out of more than 1,400 crew after an exchange of fire with the German battleship Bismarck. When asked about the sinking he said: "I was not a hero, I just survived." Mr Briggs once said a sighting of the HMS Hood as a boy had inspired him to join the Royal Navy as a signalman. The teenager was assigned to HMS Hood, the Royal Navy's flagship, in 1939. When the Bismark was spotted in the Denmark Strait in May 1941, the Hood was sent in pursuit. HMS Hood During the Battle of Denmark Strait it was bombarded with shells, one of which caused a huge explosion which ripped through the ship, sinking it in less than three minutes. In 2001, the wreck of the Hood was found 3000m deep in the sea between Greenland and Iceland. Mr Briggs, who was 18 at the time of the sinking, said he survived because he was caught in an underwater air pocket. After a short period of leave following the loss of the ship, Mr Briggs was assigned to another vessel to continue his naval career. He served for another 30 years before retiring, later becoming president of the HMS Hood Association and an MBE. Mr Briggs died at the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth on Saturday, his friend and the chairman of the HMS Hood Association, Peter Heys, said. Mr Heys described him as a "perfect gentleman". He added: "He was a humorous man but he did not like to be reminded of the sinking as he had to pulled out of the freezing water." Mr Briggs is survived by his wife Clare. Midshipman William Dundass, who died in 1965, and able seaman Bob Tilburn, who died in 1995, were the other survivors of the sinking.

I'm glad he's not picked for fitness point of view for us, but on the flipside, him not getting selected for his beloved England probably doesn't help our chances of retaining his services next season.
