We lost on penalties and took our ball away in a strop? nah, the pitch was a bit cut up by the year after

And having mutual respect, nice change to see them being complimentary about each other's abilities before the fight. Gets a bit boring when it's always trash talking before a fight. Should be a cracking fight.

wonder if they've saved their little bottles of shampoo every day like Alan Partridge did.

If my usual supermarket experience is anything to go by, they'll not just fire your shopping at you at 100mph but also fire tins, jars, bottles on top of your easily crushable eggs and vegetables. That's a pet hate of mine. Along with women thinking 'I know what's the perfect place for a chat with my friend, in the middle of the aisle so our trolleys completely block the way.'

there's a Greggs on Streatham High street ... but it doesn't sell stotties, corned beef pasties or proper tasting sauage rolls : I've spotted ones about five minutes from Upton Park and in Birmingham. Can confirm the cornish pasties taste the same there as they do in the bakery giants' heartland.

Used to be Greggs, but thankfully their successful attempts at world domination have sorted that.

Aye, I thought Willie McKay was a full time employee of the club for the last few years, judging by the amount of 'talent' he;s brought in.

I think it is a reference to a paragraph in SBR's biography where Robson slates Anal Oliver for his unfair criticism of Bramble. Ah right. It seems a bit 'I told you so' tbh. Funny how he never brought this up when the club were considering giving Titus a new contract. As much as I remember that part of Robson's criticism is that Oliver could bring up old quotes or point to blunders ages ago whenever Bramble made a mistake but being totally quiet for months when Bramble was doing well. Two problems I've got with that. Oliver being intelligent enough to keep a record of Bramble's blunders, and there's no way Bramble went months without making a bad error. Probably some tea boy at Thompson House putting Oliver's scribblings in order when he staggered in from the Blackie Boy three sheets to the wind.

Probably a load of rubbish, but I'd have him at Newcastle in a second, brilliant player. Give them Owen and Duff and we'll have Berbatov.

We might have caught them on a off night, but from what they'd been touted as, I wasn't impressed with them. I reckon we'll be alright, but Newcastle being Newcastle we'll probably make it more complicated than it really should be.

Cracking stuff. Reckon it's worth mentioning the bloke who kick started their dominance in the 80's and the way he was appointed. Arrigo Sachi was a second division coach with little experience at the time, appointing someone like that to a big club wasn't the done thing, but Berlesconi saw something in him and did it. Milan really reaped the rewards for a bold decision.

He lost two stone to get in shape for the tournament. Can see him having 'cult hero' status by the end of the tournament. Assuming he helps Bermuda crack the 50 runs barrier in at least one game, he'll be a shoe in for the next round of reality tv shows.

Blackpool wins hands down for me, horrible, horrible place.

I like Roeder, think he's a top bloke, but just not a very good manager. He's going to be remembered in the same breath as Richard Dinnis and Willie McFaul not Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson. I do have sympathy for him working for Fat Fred, but I think he's got too many shortcomings. I would love to see us get Mark Hughes as the next manager. Argumentative taff, no doubt but I think he'll go onto big things as a manager.

I don't think anything will happen eventually. The League didn't seem to make anyone aware of this until a couple of weeks ago, clubs' lawyers will have no problem exploiting that to make sure they're not punished. Surprised Whelan is talking about this today as well. I'd have thought as the loudest proudest Englishman in the history of the world, he'd be campaigning for McLaren and the whole of the England squad to be sent to the Tower.

Personally I thought Cox was much the better Lecter in this film than Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins came across more like a pantomine villain, whereas Brian Cox had a real menace about him.

Blackpool missed a trick by not inviting John Prescott to one of their councillors ranches for a weekend jolly up. Bet that counts against them

Pulp Fiction is class, so no.

Judging by the number of times he's played for the smogs this season, he must be using up all his appearances for the next six years right now. Cracking player, but there's always serious worries about his fitness.

Aye, good on him for telling it like it is. Also neatly deflects the headlines away from his side's shocking defending, but that could just be me being an old cynic.

Don't think that's inaccurate at all. We've definitely been in a few bars round Covent Garden where a round of drinks has been cheaper than an equivalent one in Newcastle.

What?!! But why would Steadie lie to us like that? Maybe not lie, but he's also been at pains to state any surgery is 100% guaranteed Either that or he's a vindictive mackem

The Burglars Dog is a work of genius, just not a good idea to read at work as you get funny looks from people because you're laughing out loud so much.

He is good at what he does, but little Micky should be aware there's a few NBA basketballers have had the exact same surgery, and they haven't rated the results anywhere near a complete success.

It's great that during all this free an innocent man coverage, no one seems to give a stuff about the bloke whose head got squashed to about half it's normal size when all he was doing was trying to make a living and feed his family. Obviously not as compelling a story than some supposedly innocent brit imprisoned abroad for the likes of Trevor McDonald.
