Alex

He's improved but he's never going to be the most athletic of midfielders

Proper fucking Victor Meldrew you like

Who is also loves to leave his foot in. And would get more shit for the diving if he wasn't an England regular.

They better wake up to fact he's under contract until 2019

Shelvey is the classic 'footballer' let down by other aspects of his game (mainly tactical awareness in terms of positioning and fitness). He's not a particulalry dirty player either compared to loads of England stalwarts over the years (Scholes, Bryan Robson, Gerrard to name a few). When Crooks is able to walk away from a packet of crisps he can have a go at people lacking self-control.

I saw it

Aye I think so. "Fuck off, Chris" was a good moment too

When it was on the first time round I can remember I used to watch it then watch the repeat later in the week. It was so well done that it was funny second time round when you knew what was coming whereas it was uncomfortably cringeworthy (but intentionally so) on the first showing.

Does that mean we're not real ones?

Congratulations, by the way

Classic unintentional Partridge moment there

In business maybe, he knows absolutely fuck all about football.

Is that still going? Never been but it was always referred to as ‘Jurassic Park’

He’s a fucking weirdo yet totally unconvincing at the same time

Rhythm and Sound are class. Love their techno/dub techno stuff as Basic Channel too

What the fuck’s it got to do with you like?

He’s like one of those wingers where they say the opposition doesn’t know what he’s going to do because he doesn’t even know

Another special European night at Anfield

Not many English kids break through in the PL in general

Forgot all about that The fact he’s crap makes it even better

Even with hindsight though? I know what you’re saying but if he doesn’t start getting some regular playing time soon he’s in danger of his career fading away before it’s properly started. He’s not really a young kid anymore in football terms

Her recent Essential Mix was good. It’ll be on soundcloud / mixcloud if it’s no longer available on the beeb.

There’s nothing clumsy about it. It’s inconceivable he wasn’t fully aware of the fact he was lying, which is something he’s got a track record of. It’s a pretty major international incident now and he deliberately mislead both the public and our allies. You can’t have it both ways, ie this is a very big deal (which your comments since the incident certainly suggest is your belief, CT) then just brush off a cabinet minister lying about it as next to nowt.
