Compared to the French they are pretty moderate I guess, but not compared to the German police who seem pretty professional. They do get the water cannon out now and again though. Was it really that bad? I know some blokey died but presumably he had a dodgy ticker? I only saw a bit of it on telly here but it didn't seem that extreme.....

The lead singer's not looking so flash these days.....

Are the UK police still moderate by French standards?

I'd probably nob my wife and cuddle my kids. If I was from smogland I'd probably do the opposite

Beating up a woman half your size = excellent police work. Arm the people it's the only way. Worked in Iraq, innit?

Spell check your post probably

The biggest slice of luck imo comes in finding, appointing and retaining a top class manager. Something we've not been lucky at by and large.

Which one is it then?

If that happens I will run, run so far away-ay

At least he wouldn't trundle about the midfield like a pub player

Dancing? With tears in your eyes?

I assume he had a bout of Bellamy-itis? Sudden onset of injury at the prospect of playing out of his favoured position?

Not a lot you can do if he's a mentalist. If it sounds serious you could call the emergency services. If he's just arguing with himself I'd leave him alone personally, unless he's putting you off your stroke. One of my neighbours was paranoid, thinking the mafia was out to get her (for reasons never explained, I don't think they even have the mafia in New Zealand). She had a car accident and accused the other driver of an assassination attempt, I kid you not. The police weren't very sympathetic. She's now on heavy medication. You couldn't reason with her though. Singing O Sole Mio in the alleyway probably didn't help, mind.

You should try washing it occasionally with soap and hot water. Maybe a bit of talc. If that doesn't sort it I'd see a doctor.

We might be a championship club ourselves next season . My theory on Ameobi is that something snaps in his head comes matchday. Call it lack of composure, lack of confidence, lack of heart or whatever but there has to be a reason why he looks great in training and shite on the day. I don't think it's laziness, and I think it's unfair to say he's not trying. I think he just can't focus on the day, the occasion or the adrenaline gets the better of him and he just loses all sense of what he's supposed to be doing. So he barges into players, jumps at the wrong time, his touch is woeful, he loses his man when defending set pieces, he can't time a shot etc. In other words, he's largely clueless when the whistle goes in front of a crowd. If he was in war scenario they'd call it shell shock and pack him off to a sanitorium. They wouldn't let him anywhere near a loaded gun and he'd probably be shot by his own side anyway. No way we should be picking him for the toon, and we've known this for a long long time.

He's probably mentally ill

The most important name of the team sheet will be Lady Luck, who has been dropped for most of the season.

I'd have been more impressed if they'd got Shearer in the minute the seriousness of Kinnear's heart condition was apparent. To get him in with effectively 7 games to go is too little too late; in the meantime they've tolerated Hughton skippering a rudderless ship. Or to stretch the analogy further, they've watched the ship going down with all hands on deck and waited till it's nearly bows under to do anything about it. It all adds to the sense of cluelessness and naivety, and the impression they'll only do something when backed into a corner like a rat in a trap. Credit for getting Shearer in, no credit at all for standing by and hoping against hope things will get better of their own accord.

Was it? I know a caller to 606 said as much on the podcast, but I don't think Green was at the match and I think Shearer did FAR more shouting than Dowie....ineffectual though it was. From the stands it looked all Shearer. Maybe Greeny mistook one for the other. They're practically alike they could be twins.

Self loathing is a Jewish thing after all. Here he is again with the self loathing already Am I the only one who doesn't find Woody Allen's self absorption a hoot? I realise I'm probably out of step with the rest of the world. My soup is cold. I vant hot soup. Mel Brooks is much more my level. Give me farting cowboys over that crapola every time.

As a happyish simple person, I'm sure BluePeter won't feel patronised by that

We might score then
