Ex Lion Tamer

That was brave, good work! Looked like a nasty injury so he could be out for a while, not that it really affects us. I really want him to suddenly become a top premier league player but it of course looks unlikely

Going off on a stretcher now!

Just scored for Zambia, nice finish

He's no Anti Niemi, that's for sure. Oh to have him back. Great win all the same

He knew we were going to score!

And it only took them 4.5 years to get things sorted. Our strength compared to Europe is almost entirely thanks to Gordon Brown's refusal to join the Euro and the ECB's refusal to use quantitative easing

At the start of the season it was the sensible view to think that we would probably stall and drop down the table. But there was always a chance that we'd make champions league, maybe 20%. With every passing week that we are still in the top 4, the chances of us making it increase. I'd still say its now about 40% chance because it is such a tough thing to do, but others are welcome to be more positive. Anyone who said we had no chance was just as much of an idiot as anyone who says we definitely will make it.

Nice one. I just mean it's closer to Liverpool than Southampton is

Although looking at the table there's not many options for him there. West Brom maybe?

Let's not forget that Rickie may well want to stay in the north west even if he leaves Liverpool

I still think charities are the way forward. No shareholders getting rich from the public purse, and no ingrained bureaucracy because you can kick them out if they are no good

We're asking all the wrong questions about the Charlie Hebdo attacks: http://mic.com/articles/108028/we-re-asking-all-the-wrong-questions-about-the-charlie-hebdo-attacks

A good suggestion. I would also suggest that if you raise people out of poverty then suddenly all this blasphemy stuff won't seem quite so important anymore

I'm just as pleased that Matt Smith is also being dropped

We need to accept that while £12m generally gets you good players in most positions, up front it is much more of a gamble. It worked with Pelle but less so with Long

Arsenal don't defend as a team and aren't well coached defensively. It's little wonder he is going backwards

Chambers definitely kept Clyne out of the team for plenty of matches. I always preferred Clyne myself

You still get everyone groaning when a player misplaces a pass and individual fans shouting that they're carp and to get off the pitch. I remember Puncheon being scared to show for a throw in because his confidence was affected by this

I think Telfer was good but Wright wasn't. So where do I sit in your theory?

He still should have been dropped though. While we weren't a great team, he was a level below the others and as far as I recall, we had other options. Rory Delap is the other one I remember as inexplicably playing every game when we had other options. That's why he got stick. While it doesn't help to have the crowd getting on their back, it is hard not to react when they give the ball away yet again. And its as much a signal to the manager as it is to the player

When Schneiderlin leaves in the summer (assuming we don't make the Champions League) will we buy a replacement, or will Cork have more opportunities?

It may be simplistic to say that the ease of buying guns is the only factor. But it is in all probability the major one. None of the alternatives you've given are particularly convincing and it does seem like you simply don't want to believe that widespread gun ownership is leading to tragic and needless deaths. Out of interest, are you a gun owner yourself?

http://www.motherjones.com/files/ownership-death630.png Across US states, the higher the level of ownership, the more gun deaths there are

42% of American households own guns, compared to 15% in Canada. The death rate by firearms in the United States was*10.2 per 100,000 people 2009; in Canada, the rate was 2.5 http://guncontrol.ca/overview-gun-control-us-canada-global/

No one has said you can get them in every shop, that is a straw man argument
