10 years is usually enough for a testimonial. I suppose I might go along.

No, that is to stop us all getting nuked in our beds. So far it seems to be working.

That is grossly over-simplistic and you know it. You also have to consider the long-term deterrent effects of such actions.

Well done. Please keep us updated with events.

I can't see the stock exchange being happy with an unknown like Poch.

Unfortunately Bournemouth themselves now have a points quota system so it looks likely that I shall have to watch this one on TV.

War is a failure of diplomacy but unfortunately some people don't or won't listen and it becomes the ultimate sanction. In order for diplomacy to work there has to be a credible threat involved somewhere. It goes back over the centuries: Si vis pacem para bellum. Speak softly and carry a big stick.

They invaded. They got forced out. If these islands had not been defended and force had been shown to have been rewarded then where would it all end? You can't do a cost-benefit analysis over events such as these.

How so? Liverpool had the advantage of playing the extra 30 minutes in front of their own supporters.

Good point. I was wondering who to support tonight.

On the face of it a great deal for Boro.

A reasonable approach.

Are you accusing me of racism??? Because if you are, I most strongly object and ask that you withdraw your remark. At no time have I ever mentioned race or colour. Resorting to accusations of racism are the the lowest form of argument and are not worthy of you.

I read yesterday that LVG had instructed his forwards that they must always attack the near post. This must make it easier for the opposition to prepare for a match.

You'd think they'd be grateful for any food and shelter that the people of Britain provide. This is a gift, not a right. If they don't like it they can always go back to the place they left, or ask someone else to put them up.

Spain didn't know anything about the islands in 1492. Nor anything about South America, come to that.

What does that example have to do with the Falklands? Britain's claim to the Island predates the creation of Argentina.

Not something you read everyday.

Likewise, my one and only visit to the Emirates.

I went bro a nightclub once and they stamped the back of my hand. I suppose I should be grateful that it wasn't a tattoo.

If only they had appointed Hoddle whilst they had the chance.

It qualifies as 'holding' which means stopping the opponent from moving freely. Some defenders will take hold of an opponent's shirt so that they can watch the ball and still sense when the other player makes a move. If they let go straight away there's no problem but when it becomes a tug it should be punished.

No, just a one game ban, same as two yellows unless it's the second red in a season. Three games is for a red for violent conduct or serious foul play.

Unless we are perceived as being a poor team who these big teams should be able to roll over and that losing to us is somehow the worst disgrace in football. No, it's just the last straw in a run of poor results, but I'd like to think that somehow we could take some credit for it. Has he gone yet?
