"Who's your next manager - HMRC?"

Same arguments applied to Consett - made no difference 35 years ago and won't make any difference now.

Hilarious and very moving - a canny combo.

So his sister contributed to his sentence - seems right to me.

They also didn't fall in line with their paymasters and trainers once they got power - probably worse than any part in the attacks.

Probably in Pakistan all along.

Latest reports are that the Paris attackers used burner phones rather than encryption.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia and other "allies".

I think it's the idea that anyone actually supports Ashley that's so far beyond insanity.

I was out yesterday so only saw the first half on my phone. What worries me is that there wasn't as much improvement as I'd hoped/expected though it sounds like the substitutions worked reasonably well. What I saw was us being overrun in midfield. It may sound like a good idea to play more creative players but I still think we need Tiote in there. Also: 1. Somebody should really hurt Borini and make him squeal for real. 2. Colback is shit. 3. Atkinson is a cunt.

This reminds me of when Hestletine did for Thatcher by selling himself as a one nation tory when he was just as much of a cunt as she was. It's a position taken to force change. Pure ambition.

I love the way not objecting to the cuts themselves but only because the money is being used for tax cuts is somehow okay. This is more to do with the EU and tory factioning than any epiphany over suffering.

Cunt looks like he's filming a Haribo advert.

Robson supposedly wanted to sell Shearer but was stopped by Shepherd. I think this contributed to the poor start to the season. It would have been interesting to see how Kluivert and Bellamy would have worked without that distraction.

I think Collins did add "and raise taxes" as a get out clause but that doesn't soften it that much for me.

I think he was a campaigner against psychics and other conmen so he gets points for that. On the downside I think he was in the Phil Collins camp of "if labour get in I'm emigrating".

I've read that a lot of Mexican immigrants support Trump's stance on the illegals as they see it as them having played by the rules. It's not as simple as you suggest - see also Chez's posts about executive types who support him. There's also a lot of people who are strongly anti-Clinton.

If it's all about leadership (which I agree with up to a point) then your problem is that all the Blairite candidates were just as unpalatable.

Benitez needs to solve whatever the problem is with Tiote because if we have to rely on Anita and Colback for the rest of the season we're fucked.

My very harsh and possibly racist (driven by experience) view of Hysel has always been that the criminal state of the ground aside, if the Italians had stood and fought rather than ran, there would have been a lot less injuries and deaths. Doesn't completely let the scousers off as their behaviour in Europe over the years has bordered on despicable at times but it's still my view.

Yes, got it earlier this morning.

I was looking at them to replace my Nexus 9 but decided they were a tad pricey - I've signed up so will steam in if they don't run out. Cheers.

Don't blaspheme Buffy for that shite.

From his time at Liverpool, I consider him a defensively minded manager which I'd normally resist but I think timing wise it's a good thing for us now.

Just regarding this head coach/manager thing - wouldn't he have been a "head coach" at Madrid and Inter?
