Feeling surprisingly hungover after only a couple of cocktails and a vodka/coke. Was bought for me so can't really complain - and was a nice little evening in the end.

Towards the end of it it looked as if the Murdoch's were actually under some pressure and there was some decent questioning done, only for the Chair to end it all. The rest of it has just been the same old politician-type avoiding-the-question answers that means they have been under no pressure what so ever. Could have quite easily employed a pair of parrots to sit in for them both.

Back when Blackburn Reserves used to play at Christie Park in Morecambe I went down to see them play vs. our reserves and started chanting 'Harper for England!' behind the goalmouth. He turned to us and goes 'Are you kidding? I can't even get in the bloody first team here'. Oh how things change!

Spurs, wasn't it?

Fucking hell, don't scare me like that. I saw the title, with its lack of punctuation of capitals, and thought DEADMAN might be leaving us!

I once played full back for Morecambe Under-16s and the Preston North End Youth Academy. Sign me up, Pards!

If it is LuaLua then it isn't much of a "surprise" is it? Douglas has said 4 or 5 people have got it, and looking through his replies it could possibly be Kadar. Not sure though, and not too long to wait!

The surprise is "Ranger-esque" rather than "Enrique-esque"..

Guessing Ba is one of the two deals that is as good as done. Is the second the mystery Germany-based Carr find? The surprising exit is a youth player, apparently. I would say it is maybe someone like Forster, but I don't think him leaving would be too much of a surprise... This is from Mark Douglas' Twitter, by the way.

The Barnetta rumour is partly due to the original rumour that Carr has found a player who plays in Germany who is due to sign soon. Putting two and two together, mainly because we have been linked with Barnetta before, someone started to circulate the story. So yeah, I doubt it is him (if there is anyone). It is apparently another find of Carr, so I doubt the player in question is particularly well known (if there even is one).

....Sorry

Is it wrong that it is only because of this thread that I have come to realise that Gameiro isn't black? Don't know why I assumed he was...

Who's that fella who was on loan either to or from West Brom and was meant to be ripping it up in La Liga?

Has he got a semi-on in that second picture??

The day City win the league is the day I stop watching Premiership football. Just don't see the point in it - it's buying the title. No different than Chelsea really though and I assume you continued watching after they won it? Aye, I suppose. Did go through a period of not paying much of an interest in Football around that point so it didn't have that much of an effect on me. Plus had always seen them as a 'big club' so I suppose them winning it didn't seem too alien.

Not any worse than reporting on Rooney's hair transplant.

Can you actually see the other side of the pitch when you are down one side on Fifa 11?

The closest I have had to a big team fucking it all up is Tottenham narrowly escaping relegation in the season before the one I am in now. Chelsea have been becoming more and more of a mid-table side as the years go by and they don't look like getting better. Of course the biggest change is that Morecambe are top of the PL in 2018 and have just beaten R. Madrid 4-2 at the Bernabeu xD

Never ever seen anyone go into administration on mine. I just get absolutely fuck loads of takeovers but despite this I have still not ever had one. Won the league and league cup last season with Morecambe, though. In the CL this year in a difficult group but despite losing to Lyon I managed to grab a 1-0 win against Real Madrid and beat the other random Norweigan team as well so qualification is definitely a possibility. Top of the league and despite only being like 10 games in I am already 6 clear.

Just the standard ring on Blackberrys. Makes me feel like I'm someone important when it rings. That said, I normally just have it set to vibrate only because it's the only way I notice it. My most favourite text message tone I have ever had is the start to Gaga's 'Beautiful, Dirty, Rich', just because it would make me laugh every time and confuse the hell out of people when I got a text.

O: "That honky muf' be messin' mah old lady... got to be runnin' cold upside down his head, you know? "
