Beckett and Harry Ramp are good.

He looks like a proper luvvie.

Are you confusing her with Fern Brittain? 128467[/snapback] Yes.

A cold hush descends on the clique.......

Chantelle off Big Brother is absolutely rotten! What do you mean by Fearne Cotton would get it though? Surely you don't mean.....

Pah. You students don't know you're born etc. etc.

You went a bit wide with some of your columns that time.

Try downloading DivX player and opening them through that. Or download the latest DivX player, install it and then try again through Quicktime as it might update the codecs or whatever the hell they call them. When I've had this bother in the past DivX has saved the day.

If I was Redknapp, as an English coach, instead of bemoaning the fact that an Englishman didn't get the job, I'd be embarrassed that the FA are having to look to foreigners to manage the national team, because he and the rest of his English ilk aren't good enough.

Jimbo I'm having Mean Beanz and wholemeal pitta for tea tonight in tribute to you.

Yes, I would say "tit monkey" pretty much sums you up.

Nah I think he actually said it. The stuff about O'Neill is priceless though. This is the bloke who in the past has reported that O'Neill had been offered the job now saying that Roeder isn't a last resort behind O'Neill because we've never even approached O'Neill. You can almost hear Shepherd dictating it to him. Freddy: Put something about how we didn't offer O'Neill the job. Oliver: But Freddy you told me we have offered it to O'Neill!? I've reported it. Freddy: Yes and now you're going to say that we haven't, ok? Oliver: Well can I at least start it with "It's my understanding...". Makes me sound important. Freddy: If you want Alan. Stick something in there about Glenn knocking seven bells out of Sam Allardyce as well eh?

Ah, the perils of rehashing a forward that's been doing the rounds since 1998 128366[/snapback] I know, fucking terrible, isn't it? 128369[/snapback] He's trying to pretend he thinks it's crap now.

Aye I'm pretty sure (in an I reckon so sort of way) that Shepherd has spoken to O'Neill and has somehow cocked things up. Whether that was down to O'Neill seeming more interested in the England job or Shepherd laying down the law re Shearer's involvement is anyone's guess, but I think we've spoken to him and somehow managed to frighten him away.

Red rag to a bull for Leazes.

Pretty, yes. Sexy, no. The lass is an annoyingly posh stick insect.

They're both disgusting substances.

By the way, I'd settle for poor dental care ahead of that.

Dunno if they've sold out - it's the smoggy in question that told me. He is still claiming that they sold their FA Cup Semi Final out though....despite the visible empty seats.

It is absolutely pathetic how Shearer-obsessed the club is though. Can you see this sort of thing being allowed to happen with Henry at Arsenal? It's madness and it isn't really til you step back and look at the situation that you realise how daft it's become.

I've got "Anything Else" and "Melinda and Melinda" to watch. Are either of them worth the effort?

He's nails though! I can't see him just being a nancy boy with them like Sven has been. They'll be getting both barrels if they mess with Big Philly Style.

Shepherd is a Geordie Fundamentalist.

Aye I reckon they'll get beat tonight. I'm looking forward to watching their first sell-out of the season cry in the stands as their season falls apart.

Aye, in the sense that I'd have to hand money over to the dirty pig. Cheers alex, don't think I'm gonna bother.
