That's a bit low from the Telegraph, Geldof has done a fair bit for charity. Having a go at Adele is probably out of order but maybe what Geldof did promoted her to make the donation?

You are probably on to something there, there definitely needs to be more war tie-ins in advertising. The holocaust must have potential to make some cash if you follow the same formular: Tug the heart strings - charity tie-in - product placement - token donation. Some company should be able to make a killing. Charity gets some money, everyone wins. Can't wait til next year.

Just because it is hard to prove doesn't mean there is a grey area as to what the crime is - two separate issues.

But it's still either rape or not rape though. Every single case is different.

Just seen the Sainsburys ad and agree it's in bad taste. Just seems very cheap to use such a moment as a vehicle to promote a supermarket. What will we have next, maybe Oskar Schindler handing out chocolates bars to a train load of Jews from Auschwitz - have a break, have a Kitkat?

I think in the eyes of the law there are different types of rape but if Mrs duck passes out through drink and you stick your duck penis in her it's still rape.

I love the way people think they can read bits of info on websites and in papers and think they can make a judgement on wether he is guilty or not. There are some f*cking dumb people on here.

I hate all this outrage over tweets bullsh!t. When I was a kid my mum always said "sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never harm you". Now someone tweets something that's not nice and people go to the police. Pathetic. If you don't like what someone says just ignore it.

I do hate the Xmas ads that use the myth of the perfect Christmas to promote their product. The ones with a perfect family sat round in a perfect house all stupidly ****ing happy and smily having the perfect time stuffing their faces with a perfect spread of food. It's advertisers pushing myths like that which causes the suicide rate to jump up every Xmas IMO.

It's not rocket science, being a professional footballer makes you a role model because it's so high profile. Kids have their pictures on their wall, follow them around for autographs and want to be like them because they are seen as cool. They are heros. What sort of message does it send out to kids - He raped someone but he's still great because he can kick a ball around a field.

Not at all surprising, the organisation is so corrupt this inquest was never going to get anywhere near uncovering what went on. I still don't think the Quatar World Cup will go ahead. Its a ****ing bonkers idea to hold it in a scummy middle eastern sh!te hole like that.

Shouldn't be allowed back, pro footballers are role models. He's fully entitled to a career and rehabilitation after his sentence, just not one where he is a role model to kids.

Winning the League Cup is still way more likely than a 4th place finish IMO, definitely wouldn't put a weakened teamout for the cup.

Nonsense, most reports I have read have been very complimentary. If anything Saints being in the CL would be a bigger story for the press.

My Nan's brother was a Lancaster Bomber pilot and died after being shot down over Germany in WW2. My Nan passed away only a few weeks ago aged 96. When you think of the life she had, all the experiences and the people around today because of her, it makes you think of how much is lost through war. I have read a little bit about WW1 and what those guys went through was unimaginable. I find it even sadder now that all the people who were involved are now gone, it's like it's vanished forever as a real memory and is now a distant chapter in history. That's why we should never forget.

We might have highlighted hundreds of players, fact is they are here because Koeman wanted them. Just like Osvaldo was here because Pochetino wanted him.

Don't really know enough about his specific role and how he has done to give a sh!te.

Looks to me like Levy just trying to appease the clubs fans, Spurs fans are a miserable bunch of w@nkers. If he wanted our head of recruitment he could just give him a call, there's no need to go to the press and make it public. It's only in the paper because it's international break and there is only so much you can write about a sh!te England team.

Five good sits on the bench and a couple of 10mins here and there for a big club you mean.

No, think it was just for the media. I guess all clubs use translators for players that don't speak English tho.

Exactly. The prize of CL football is so great there is no way they will want to risk losing out for the sake of giving some academy kid a run out or trying to make Mane or Rodriguez play like Pelle.

Only one of the squad on Saturday was an academy player and he was on the bench.

Re-shuffling the pack with players who can do a job is not strength in depth. We need to be able to replace Pelle with similar and keep the same options out wide.

But Rodriguez, Long, Tadic and Mane are used as wide players, I think we could do with quality back-up for Pelle.

I dunno, we got shot of Cortese and got a better chairman, same with the manager.
