It is always said that you don't regret what you've do e, you only regret what you haven't done.

Great player but might he have been even better without the fag? In the end the booze finished him off at 57 before the weed could.

Don't forget that footballers are basically thick.

It's no longer a club, it's a business.

Yes, that's the quirkiness of the situation. You become American but you can always go back to being British. It seems that every country is different. For Britain it's where you were born but for Germany it's by blood, that is on who your parents were. A technician who worked for me for many years had an Australian father and was very proud of his Australian connections but he was born in the UK before 26th January 1949 so he could not automatically apply for citizenship. His younger sister was born after this date so she qualified. He persisted and eventually got his green Aussie passport of which he was very proud. It had always been his intention to retire out near Sydney where his mother still lives. He died of lung cancer at the age of 63 without fulfilling his dream.

Me too. Britain today is a pale shadow of what it once was. Hopelessly overcrowded, crumbling infrastructure, everything done on the cheap and crummy weather.

This, basically. You're no longer an alpha-male, more like a pi-man. Once you get over 35 everything stiffens up and you lose your elasticity. How about a nice gentle stroll instead, possibly in your slippers?

Are you serious? That's irrelevant hogwarts. Unless they've started awarding points for artistic merit.

30 years ago I was told that if you became a US citizen you had to renounce all others, but that the UK didn't recognise the renunciation.

And they don't come much cheaper than me

The table is meaningless after one game. Before the season even began we were equal top. Or was it equal bottom? I was looking at the long-term situation, not the daily ups and downs.

Quite so. We are not 'down' to sixth, we are 'up' in sixth.

I wouldn't invest too much in what you read in the Guardian either. Most if the country couldn't give a toss.

The public acknowledgement is always welcome. 'There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about' (Oscar Wilde)

Don't you believe it. As kids we used to throw tops off Vic bottles over the top of a hous and cath them when the wind blew them back.

Are you sure? That's Italian and not Spanish, isn't it? (Many Argentinians are of Italian descent).

Watch your step or else all the gramps will be revolting.

You're confusing pensions with benefits.

At least that would prepare them for working in the real world.

For brick arches Brunel's at Maidenhead takes some beating.

'Legal action' is a heavy-handed description. Wasn't it 'Premier League managers' arbitration tribunal'? Chaired by a QC, I'll grant you.

It would have looked better in red and white stripes I have always maintained that the Itchen bridge should be toll-free. If the aim is to join communities and help run-down zones such as Woolston then you should do everything possible to facilitate the local economies.

Sorry, I knew that, I was just being facetious. But we are only looking at a couple of games at the start of the season and a goal or two either way makes a big difference.

£12m is pretty much average for a good Premiership player these days.

You mean: 'We haven't won every game'
