CB Fry

Why on earth would it hurt him?

Ah, good. He'd be wasted just doing a handful of England games.

Your "methodology" is to ignore everything and pretend the only factor is population size. That's kinda why everyone thinks you're an idiot.

Shame to lose Pougatch from Five Live.

He said that about right backs/additional defenders in the summer. I believed him. Then he pulled Toby out of the bag.

You wouldn't catch those firebrand anti-establishment rebels like Mark Reckless and Douglas Carswell saying that kind of stuff. I mean, it sounds like the kind of attitude a long standing Conservative MP would have.

Yeah but that thing is a bit the same as another thing from history but your reaction is slightly different. Everyone is a hypocrite. Repeat on every single thread.

Except Farage has already been grizzling about how he hasn't got enough of his own Lords in the second chamber. Ooh that white, middle aged ex - banker, 20 year career politician is, like, sooo anti-establishment. LOL.

Let's hope your idiot UKIPper never gets to influence anything beyond his own kitchen table.

Stuff like that happens in the UK, like, all the time. I mean, Hungerford and that.

LOL. Lord Winston is not standing for election, and has not published a leaflet claiming his ideas are "common sense solutions" like our car-banning crackpot friend. There really is no comparison. And you are getting jolly huffy about this 200 quid thing but even a cursory read of the reports of this oh so dreadful idea show that it is little more than Sir Bob musing about how people don't see the value of the NHS. I can't actually see a direct quote where he actually says what you say, but I can see the Daily Mail artfully spinning it, primarily to wind the likes of you up. Job done, I reckon.

The Sun has called itself a family newspaper for as long as I've been alive.

Perfectly plausible. What people need prepare for is that us finishing fourth isn't necessarily going to keep the likes of Clyne here if there are other better options who might pay more. Even if they're not in the Champions League, Man United is still Man United.

Your best bet is to say you're really busy right now, but a bit later tonight you'll respond in full with everything you know. Then actually do it six days later.

Thank god Les is returning his phone calls.

I like the fact that you are equating people contributing to debate about how health care is funded in the UK (with suggestions not massively different to those in place in other western democracies) with a effing nutcase suggesting the unemployed should be banned from driving. Seriously, great work.

Please sign for QPR.

I like the UKIP supporters' policy of equating these loons with Lord Robert Winston.

Hmm, not really. The Champions don't own or possess the League - it is a League OF (or for) the Champions. So no apostrophe is perfectly fine. UEFA's Champions League I'll give you. But looks stupid. Back in the days when I worked in newspapers (not that glam at all) I had a two day argument about Ascot Ladies Day for the same reason. I did, eventually, win. True story.

Pretty exceptional levels of empty headed what-about-ery on both sides on this thread. Well done everyone. All we need is someone to mention Hitler and we're done here.

It was a big watch, to be fair.

No club will sign him without absolute confidence in his fitness. SFC will know exactly what his condition is. So who is this agent getting "the best deal he possibly can" from? And what role does a "smokescreen" tweet play in that?

Equally, don't take everything you read on twitter as part of some conspiracy or cover up.

That's what Lawrenson said on Five Live.

Good point. They will be dancing in the streets of Truro, Trowbridge and Eastbourne if we finish fourth and that's a fact. BT just need to drop a few leaflets in Somerset and those subscriptions will come flooding in.
