Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

Can somebody start a Branfoot vs Nicholl thread please. Or Hoddle vs Gray - that ought to get a few posters out and about. Maybe Wigley vs Strachan - there's so much to compare there. How about Lowe vs Wilde chairman thread. FFS

I turned to my sister at half time, sitting in the bloody East Stand of all places, and said "2-2 with 5 minutes to go, MLT belter?". I admit I cried when it went in - a special special moment. And CMFG tried to ruin it by nearly scoring another ;-)

Kevin Moore, bless him, is now in a hospice for people with dementia in Curdridge with my wife's Grandad. Poor bloke. Great goal at Wembley in 92

He said he tried it because Phillipe Albert lobbed Schmeichal the week before. If you do find it, I'm the fat bloke behind the goal where it lands who takes slightly longer than everybody else to stand up. I've got tears in my mind remembering watching the ball come toward me and thinking it was going to hit the bar. One of the best days of my life that

I remember this - I think I might still have the podcast! When I lived in London and he started on XFM I couldn't work out why his sense of humour chimed so much with mine, and all the slang (cacker, mush etc.) seemed to be from Southampton until he mentioned doing Project Trident works experience at the Transit factory - and my mate then said "ah yeah, I remember him", so same age as well. As to why they're called skates - it's because they think a skate's mouth looks like a lady bottom

ok, pistons before any smart arse points out "cylinders"

Engine revs is just the speed of the flywheel (and by association the cylinders). However, if you're out of gear the engine has to inject fuel to keep the cylinders moving. If you coast in gear, the momentum of the car will keep pushing it forward, turning the wheels, which will turn the gearbox and therefore engine over. If you leave it in gear and take your foot off the accelerator therefore, a modern engine (one with an electronic box of tricks) will introduce no more fuel into the engine. So leave it in gear

this ref is an away favouring budgie

that move that led to Hammond's shot would have been a great goal. Possession, midfield movement, movement up front. lovely still 0-0 of course...

Could he be Neil Maddison to the Ox's Alan Shearer?

I'm tempted to go but whenever I do we're ****. so...

In the meantime chaps have you tried memcached? Also, I've noticed that the avatar images are served every time somebody hits the page, and served from a php page as well which might be an issue, you might want to utilise browser caching to minimise this - something like: ExpiresActive On ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 3 hours" ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 3 hours" ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 3 hours" ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 3 hours" ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 8 hours" ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 8 hours" ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 8 hours" ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 8 hours" in whichever conf file you have might help. I say might as the fact that images are coming from image.php worries me, but as the browser will have cached it I would have thought it would work. It would mean that people changing their avatars might not see it for 8 hours - boo hoo? You *might* want to turn off mod_deflate if your server is CPU bound . Do you have any server monitoring installed like "xymon". That could help identify the issue (CPU / IO etc.) - it's proved invaluable in the past to me. Anyway, just trying to be constructive

same here - we're up to 30 people, and I hate it. onwards and upwards, where's the prozac

I'm also convinced I've seen this bird (or it's bredderin) while driving down the A34 from Newbury to Winch - my mum said she saw an Eagle (and she's a birder) over the water off Redbridge as well.

I agree. All political parties make no difference to this. The left have abandoned redistribution of wealth, and the right have abandoned social mobility through opportunity (only offering tax breaks and govmnt work to big companies). They're all about maintaining the status quo of 12-20 years in government on massive salaries making friends in the large corporations, then board level positions and after dinner speaking. and they all did bloody politics degrees at oxford or cambridge. Stuck up ****ers

RIP Deano

my mate's sister was on the plane. bet his family are hoping for a "swinging from a lamp post" Mussolini moment

I'm old enough to remember when United fans wanted Ferguson out every season until they won the FA Cup. "Only good for Aberdeen" "This job is too big for him". They'd had a tonne of mediocre managers up to then as well. Maybe we should get another manager then - changing manager every year worked so well under the duck hunting idiot. That's why we're in the Champions League... oh look we're not. How about a bit of support for our team / manager / club. ****s

****ing echo bull**** again. "There's a 2 to 3% chance of it hitting the earth" becomes "Measuring 300 yards wide and travelling at 23,000mph, Asteroid 99942 Apophis is predicted to slam into the planet in 25 years’ time" ****s

I voted Tory, I'll admit it, to get rid of the last bunch of shysters. But I'll also admit I'm not posh (I'm from Totton FFS) and never been a member of the Bullingdon club or whatever. I suppose I support a centrist, libertarian viewpoint of we're not all equal, you only get out what you put in, minimum state interference but ultimately trying to improve the conditions of everybody through hard work. This bunch of ******s though are just interested in protecting their own interests and the interests of their ****y mates. I run a small business (£4m turnover), how the hell am I meant to grow it if my larger competitors with economies of scale are given preferential treatment. arseholes.

I remember plenty of idiots at the Dell shouting and moaning at him for being lazy. A section of our fan base have always been ****s.

Can't be arsed to read all 8 pages of this pro/anti ****e. To be honest, I think both sides are behaving like bloody children. What I do know is that my mum has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and might have as little as 3 months left on this ****hole we call earth and is going to the 125th meal and it would have been nice for her to see the current crop as well as some of the legends, but now she won't. grow up you little t w a t s
