Interesting. Difficult to not tar him with the same brush as his [*lots of swearing*]pot father. But, I'll take JR's word for it. Not the bit about the tea lady though - does any club have a genuine tea lady now(or then) a days? How many players drink tea? I remember an interview with HR on Football Focus and it sucked all the wind out of my sails - if I was a player I wouldn' have bothered turning up for the match - I think a few didn't. What an annoying person. On another note - do they still have a communal bath? I imagine they've grown up using showers at the gym, training ground, or else walked home in the pouring rain with muddy knees after another thrashing. That'll learn them

The dog is called Zorro. HTH

It was well known you are a superbly educated, erudite and humane person with a vast range of skills that put most of us to shame. However these facts in now way mitigate against using the phrase 'back in the day' when talking about your upbringing in Orpington for god's sake. Unless, that was Orpington, LA where you're straight outta.

I do not know how you guys manage to watch live games at the P&W. Do you get drunk or simply drive home at 3am? Don't you have wives or families? Fair play to you all P &W ers!!

Any reports on cleaners dying? That must have happened.

So, 1976, what's the verdict? Despite male inhibitions about medical conditions, I'm sure there's lots of us who want to know the outcome. Obviously, going to the quack is the best advice. If we don't hear soon, does that mean you're in hospital? Hope not, bud.

It sounds like an infection to me - one area much hotter than the rest of your body. Cellulitis is a possibility, possibly as a result of a fungal infection causing cracks in your skin and you scratching your balls after digging/handling dog ****/washing up/fish fiddling. If it were cellulitis, I would get my arse and nads to A&E asap, coz it aint nice and can cause stuff to fall off. On the plus side, it rarely affects that area. Wash first and wear loose undies.

Seems a shame he's wasting his time and ours - a la that bloke from Chelsea (but, I hope,a considerably lesser scale). He loaned at Torquay was it? Should do it again. Having said that - if I was a young lad with a guaranteed big salary, probably a lot more than what my father earned, I might end up acting the same way. Just think he could and should be worked with as he obviously has some potential in L1 or L2.

Yes, Yorkshire is in the 1970s

No, about Hangar 18, can someone prove that doesn't exist?

When did we last have a good start. I remember us being 7th just before Christmas a couple of seasons before we got relegated out of the EPL (if people can say NPC, I can say EPL!). Other than that, can only remember struggling uphill.

This may be the opportunity to ask the questions I have always wanted to - can anyone see the game ifhey're stood under one of those flags?? Does everyone have to hold it up, or just the people in the corner? Genuine question.... Added my 2 bob's worth to the site - a very nice idea for a very nice man.

I am interested to know your 'Manifesto',Turkish,if you have one. You seem passionate and sometimes aggressive,butyou also have plenty of insight into human nature. If you were a politician, I probably wouldn't vote for you, but I'd be interested as to why I should. Let us know! Vote Turkish!

I'm really good at it - got the job done in under 2 minutes last time!

Andy Warhol pictures are like poems which don't rhyme. Or poems in general. Boring. I like to think of myself as cultured, but I suspect I'm really a yahoo when it comes to art. I think most books written before the 20th century are boring also. Warhol is boring and so is 95% of Velvet Underground stuff. Boring.

Not sure if I can stay awake til kick off, even though it's a holiday on Tuesday here in Oz. Kick off is midnight here, but I want to wish you all the best, as fans, and have decent weather. 'You only came for the weather' would be a good chant (remember us singing that to Middlesbrough 7 years or so ago). It's very strange to go to sleep just when the exciting stuff is happening, but it is really exciting checking out the scores in the morning! This is a very boring post.

Very young (63) - and still foxy at that age.

Can't stay up any longer. Ada , iif you're reading this, get off the bench and stick one in in 444

I have an aunty who runs the catering for a live action role play society (for which she performs the role of a black elf) which the entire Pompey laundry team are also members of (they play orcs apart from one who's a 3rd level Thurmaturgist). What's the latest shirt they had to wash? - you guessed it - it had the letters D, N and W on it! Say no more.

From a Radio 6 trailer for Adam and joe: Why did one Puma get on well with other Pumas? He had a good sense of Puma!

Always a good read, I was looking for this but couldn't remember what it was called. I expected to find it on the Blogs tab at the top banner, but couldn't see it there - get it linked! And to finish with some grammar - "should have" not "should of".

Hypo - you rack 10,000 posts and are champion at all the arcade games, and you own nurseries. Clearly, you know what you are talking about and seem compassionate, but do you actually manage these places - I can't see how you get the time!!

I was a student. I'd had a late night with a modicum of success. I'd put the radio on as we went to bed but fell unconscious straight away. In the morning, late morning - I think it was the Simon Bates show, "I wanna Sex you up" was playing in my hungover reverie. In that time, in that place, the song was well nawty, even though I hated it.

Usury is the term, I thought this was also no go in Jewish communities. Never understood how it could be bad.

That's lame
