Hmmm how dare people not watch TV when and where you prescribe....please sir can you tell me what I need to watch for next week? I always thought I was one of the more of the moderate posters but frankly it seems like I'm subscribing to a site I didn't intend to at the moment.

Is it? To be fair royalty can't spell their name correctly either - the queen spells Saxe-Coburg-Gothe as "windsor" which is a bit more stupid than me.

Rich guy complains about taxes shocker. Why is it that the rich complain about taxes more than the people who are more directly affected - the working class? Every single person who says they will leave the country should do just that. Go away, stop whining and **** off. Yes that includes you Paul Daniels, Frank Bruno and Jamie Oliver. I should point out I have no idea whether Jamie Oliver has ever threatened to leave the country but I just don't like the smug mockney git.

I wish. I did celebrate her two minute silence by cutting my hedge on her funeral day though. I like to refer to the two weeks or so after she died as the weeks Britain went mental. There's a lot of similarities though with two girls losing their lives prematurely. Obviously I don't know either so whilst I can sympathise I can't really grieve for them. The major difference seems to be that when Dianna died we were all told how to feel, we had to emote on the death of a nobody and we couldn't escape. It's OK to question Jade Goody though because she was a celebrity based on vapidity rather than a celebrity through marriage. Least Jade Goody had to interview for her role in celebrity culture and keep selling papers - Dianna got away with mere hairstyles and a confused look when confronted with tricky tasks like telling the time.

In what way? She was talentless, achieved nothing and died young(ish). There seem a lot of similarities to me. The only difference is that aside from passing interest I've managed to ignore Jade Goody - I couldn't do that when Dianna died.

Murray would be a decent fight if Khan had the balls for it. Trouble is it wouldn't attract a big enough "non" boxing audience. Thaxton deserves a crack at it as well. I'd love to see Khan fight Juan Manuel Marquez or Juan Diaz though - I wouldn't give him much of a shout against either but it'd be interesting.

I agree, everyone thought Khan would take the first half of the fight anyway so it doesn't prove much. We never got to see what would happen when MAB got into the fight and were robbed of decent fight.

Well to be fair I never gave Manny a chance against DLH and Roach is a great trainer so maybe...just maybe. Barrera needs to be a totally shot fighter though and from what I've seen he's not done just yet.

Yeah, strange that Barrera should have one the 1st one and Morales the 2nd yet the judges scored it the other way. Both cracking fights and a million miles from where Khan is - outside of Frank Warren does anyone believe Khan stands a chance? has there ever been a prospect with such a weak chin? say what you like about recent hopefuls and champions but the great thing about world beaters is you don't doubt their punch resistance. Look at Calzaghe sure he slapped but he never gave you the impression he couldn't recover from a good punch. I don't have any confidence in Khan at all.

33-1 for a stoppage in the first three rounds. I think Khan will be schooled enough by Roach to avoid Barrera for the first half of the fight though. For me it's a 7th or 8th round KO for Barrera and easy money for the baby face assassin. Incidentally can anyone remember Barrera V Morales 1? Now that was a hell of a fight.

Agreed, Khan's chin will let him down. Barrera even at 34 is a class act and once he gets to the body then Khan doesn't stand a chance. I'm even going for a punt on this one - you can get 25-1 on a Barrera stoppage from rounds 4-9 and that's got to be worth it. I just can't see Khan operating at long distance for the entire fight and once he gets tagged then he's done. Course Khan will probably prove me wrong now.....Having said that looking at the Juan manuel Marquez V juan Diaz fight a couple of weeks ago shows just what a gulf in class there is between Khan and real quality.

Life in the championship has moved on from finding a millionaire - we need a billionaire. Unfortunately Will's money wouldn't make much of a dent in the debt but fair play to the fella. He clearly follows and is passionate about saints.

I'm not sure about the over 40 bit. I'm not and I'd put him in the legends stable alongside Bates, Ron Davies, Channon, Ball and Le Tissier. Of those legends I only saw Channon and Ball play briefly but that was enough, and Le Tiss a lot. I'm willing to take older fans view on board when it comes to the others as their record stands up and anyway, just because I'm not old enough to have been lucky enough to have seen them doesn't mean I can't appreciate their contribution. I hope I'm sensible enough to recognise that football didn't start with the premiership. I mean, Marsden as an icon? Really? Smashing little player and all that but no where near icon status for me. Naturally if he'd lifted the FA Cup then maybe, and that goes for Strachan too, but they didn't. On that basis I really should add Bobby Stokes to the legends so I will. In fact I'd add every single FA Cup winner to that list - they achieved the greatest moment this club has ever seen and though whilst at the time I was playing with Tonka Toys, it doesn't mean I can't appreciate their contribution now that I'm older.

I remember several last gasp escapes on the last day. Oldham (Benali day) - they needed a win and rely on other results. We played our hearts out even though there was nothing in it for us. At the start I just wanted a win but when you could see just how much it meant to their fans I have to say it's one of the few games I was happy we lost. Had a great day out and their fans were top notch. West Ham - We needed something out of the game to stay up. Naively I thought it would be a repeat of the Oldham game but no, ****ney tossers showed themselves to be the ungracious whiners that they are. Even had that pathetic pitch invasion. I've little love for that club. Wimbledon - I genuinely felt sorry for them when we sent them down. I didn't particularly like them but they (the fans) cared about their club which was more than the players they had out that day did. I guess I'd hate to be in a position where we could send someone down, or we could go down but I'd hope at the end whatever the result there would be a bit of empathy amongst the fans - it's more rewarding. Besides I've always liked Forest and they've had an even tougher time than us which is saying something.

I downloaded "So Tough" a few weeks ago and spent an enjoyable morning stuck on the bus in traffic the next day listening to it. It was my revision music of choice and brought back a few memories.

Picked up "devils's backbone" in HMV for a fiver earlier this week and just watched it. I really enjoyed it and does work well with 'Pan's". I thought "The Orphanage" was great too though but I watched it before there was a lot of hype about it so possibly didn't have raised expectations. Have to say some spanish films from recent years have been fantastic.

Doubt we'll be that lucky, don't a lot of countries have IQ tests before allowing immigration?

never mentioned the miners but since you raise the question - it was poor management that made the coal mines unprofitable. Better management would have saved the devastation of whole communities that still suffer to this day. If you think that doesn't affect you then think about the benefits you pay to those miners and their children because Maggie failed to make an industry that is profitable in other countries fail in ours.

There's your answer. If we failed to bail out the banks then people would lose their jobs and their homes and it wouldn't finish at just one bank - they'd all fall like dominoes. Maybe your bank was sensible but if RBS collapsed then investors of every bank would withdraw cash and everyone would suffer.

But she is mental! She's got dementia, so factually I'm right and besides I actually provided reasons why she is clearly not "the best leader since Churchill", care to offer anything?

That's not funny and doesn't provide any evidence to counter the argument except a playground insult.

No, she's mental. She kick started the greed cycle that sees bankers crawling to the state for handouts and us bailing them out. She destroyed the manufacturing industry and she was unable to comprehend any other argument counter to her own opinion. She got what she deserved and was saved the embarassment of being kicked out by the public by her own party. She was absolutely useless but gave a few soundbites that people love. Personally I'll follow Elvis Costello's advice and "tramp the dirt down" on the finchley *****.

Or Nanny had to pay for her kids (banks) recklessness? Moan all you like about how the govt has bailed out the banks but it is and was necessary. Prior Govt. spending may be considered excessive depending on your point of view but it didn't cause this recession - the banks did. In fact it was the banks a little closer to your home that started the rot. If we're playing the blame game then let's go for the real culprits.

congratulations, make sure he's a red as well as red and white!
