Because we're nothing like animals if we're made in god's image.

It's a shame the league's so shite as I'd love to see Villa go down to the dulcet tones of Vera Lynn.

What does your mate Jesus say about all this?

I hadn't heard but I've just read about it on the Beeb. Really hope he's ok.

I'm getting to the stage where I detest the current Labour opposition nearly as much for not destroying the cunts at every opportunity on stuff like that.

Yeah, I agree there. I also think you can strike lucky and get a few in and around the first team at one time so it's needs to be happening over a greater timescale before you can read too much into it.

Genius these like

You have to be careful though. There's a distinct risk of Uefa Cup qualification the way things are heading.

I take your point which is why I would say the likes of Southampton have a better strategy than we do. What's more important though? The process or the end result?

And I think I know who stole Bob Monkhouse's joke book

Is that a 'no'?

Shearer used to drive to the off licence in Wideopen to get his sister's 10% staff discount

I could see them getting none. Fancy a bet? Closest wins.

Tighter than a bad chest.

Wouldn't pick Bobby Lee anyway as he'd never get his turn in.

In somewhere like Newcastle (and probably the UK as a whole) for most people the 60s would've been shit, although somewhat better than the 50s.

Unfortunate choice of words there, Noelie.

I've no idea what argument you think I'm making tbh but Andrew said he'd served the sentence the court handed down and I pointed out he served about half that. That's ho it relates to what he said.

It was relevant in response to andrew

Aye, he lost an appeal.

It was always going to be newsworthy but I doubt they anticipated the storm it would cause. And I did agree with Rod Liddle for once, when he said many other players (Lee Hughes, Marlon King) had committed very serious offences with less of a furore about their return to the game so there's a degree of hypocrisy around this in some quarters.
