  1. Expect the unexpected has summed this series up nicely.

     

    282-7

     

    Pietersen has has played a blinder. Making them pay for ballsing up their chances to get him out. Makes you wonder if they'll be a little sore about letting him slip through the net and ending up playing for England.

  2. Any dream involving Hoggard must surely constitute a nightmare as he's the least pretty bloke I've seen in a long time!

    :lol: There was a bloke behind the bar in The Coach and Eight down Durham last night who looked the spit of Hoggard. Everyone seemed to take great pleasure in pointing it out to him. Bet he's been getting shite like that since the Ashes started.

  3. Souness seems to have hired a team of quacks around him, the amount of clueless backroom staff he has is embarassing.

    I think Wright, Ferris and Winspear have been there for years, certainly before Souness arrived on the scene.

    Yep, Wright and Ferris go back as far as Keegan I think. Not sure about the others though. It's not as if hamstring injuries are new to us either. There may be some kind of link there.

  4. Not drinking, but I did have cheese on toast whilst MotD was on...

    That explains it. The trauma of watching Amdy Faye playing nearly a full match shocked you into football related dreams.

  5. Fulham are takin the piss. Passing and moving well. We can't even get the midfield sorted out. Everyone is apparantly all over the place.

    What chance do we have with Faye in the team?

    Shouldn't laugh but couldn't help it.

     

    Bocanegra (spelling) booked for a tackle on Owen when he was on the break.

  6. I did GCSE Psychology when I needed to fill up my timetable for my GCSE resits. Was quite interesting, was only a one year course and came out with a C. Anyway good luck on getting another college sorted out, they should still be taking people in now.

  7. Having Nobby back seems to have gone over well with a few of the players. Seems to be a good lad to have around the dressing room. Seemed to like socialising with the players aswell. Suppose it's a hell of a difference from where he grew up in Peru.

  8. Actually the full blerb for the MMP says:
    The Nationwide Mercury Prize exists solely to champion UK music by promoting the 12 Albums of the Year by British or Irish artists. All genres of music are eligible and will be treated equally

     

    No mention of championing new music, just UK music. Regardless of their popularity.

    I know.

     

    David Bowie got nominated a few years back.

     

    But the Mercury prize has to keep itself relevant, Bowie was nominated because it was his best album in years, this was coldplays worst. If it starts just pre-empting the Brits then what's the point in it. Personally I'm glad there's a prize that promotes new and interesting music rather than chart shite. Would you prefer it was the Brits, Smash Hits Poll Winners Party and the MOBO's that decided who gets rewarded?

     

    Even the NME and Kerrang awards are geared toward the most popular tripe.

    Personally I put it up there with all awards. They're not worth anything and could all be stopped for me. If you have to be told by an award to go and buy an album then there is something wrong. I couldn't give a shite what Jo Whiley (I'm surprised she didn't try suddenly announce that The Killers were really from the UK and crowbar them in) et al say is their bestest album.

  9. Actually the full description for the MMP says:

  10. All of these sponsored awards are a load of bollocks to be fair. This one is no different. It's the same award that's crowned Ms Dynamite and Dizzee Rascal. Not forgetting M People back in the early days. This one swings between whats popular and the politically correct choice from year to year.
