"Working" from home today.

i see the echo have "revealed" Nigel Adkins transfer policy in a big article today. Apparantly it's young, british and hungry. I'm glad they are around to tell reveal this sort of information.

it's obviously a good standard your mate plays at!!

How is your training going chumps? I'm 3 weeks back in now after a few weeks off due to injury and holiday. Just done the "snatch test" as per the Enter the Kettlebell book. Did 143 with my 16kg bell. The idea is to do as many snatches as you can in 10 minutes. The target for the rite of passage is to do 200 in 10 mins with a 24kg bell!! This is also the fitness requirement for the Russian army. Some work to do, give the "snatch test" a go, its a killer, my arms and shoulders feel smoked, god knows how long it's going to take to get up to the Rite of Passage target.

His circumference would make springing the offside trap easy.

My dad cant and it's horrible, but he has alzehimers, not gluttony.

Ha! Funny you should say that! I was just about to type that i'm going to confuse the hell out of Tiger Woods when i wear that top at Golf in Feb, he's going to think he's finally found a liverpool fan in Augusta but it's the nutty stalker from his last two nightmares.

Yeah, i get that bit, it's the hairy faced tubster bit i dont get.

Does Mrs The9 find you sexy in a football shirt?

Thats him. Those two along with the sulky faced man in the clown suit at 'boro away and we've not done well for ourselves in terms of TV representation this year. FFS

agreed.

36 stone though. Did he not get to 18 stone and think he might need to cut down on the takeaways?? My sister knows him, says he's a nice fella, i just dont really have much sympathy for people who get that fat and then demand help, do they not have mirrors in their houses or wonder why their clothes dont fit?

They'd be grunting louder than Maria Sharapova.

Im sure it's him, on there for help because he's obese. I'm sure he got given a free gym membership years ago as part of his short stint as our celebrity fan.

f*ck me. 36 stone with over 67% of it being fat.

is that Steve Bull on there right now? One time Saints half time entertainment and celebrity fatty?

They'll be frothing at the gash at the sight of middle aged, bloated men stood in pubs guzzling beer with the pinstripes providing a nice, slimming effect as they sit tightly around their oversized gut.

I always laugh when people say "if he'd played in a different era he'd be a world champion" it's boll*ks. Players are fitter now, technology is better, coaching is better, 10 or 20 years ago he'd only have access to the same things as players of that era, so Murray wouldn't be as fit, strong and have the same standard as coachingin the era as everyone else. 10-20 years ago Samprass dominated men's tennis, another player who was "amazing" With other great players around like Effenburg, Agassi. Before that Connors, Mcenroe, Lendell, Borg and so on. The players are probably better now due to advances in training, diet and technology but 10-20 years ago Murray would only have access to what they did, so he wouldn't be as fit and have the coaching as he he does now either.

If he cant match the best he isn't amazing then is he, it's very simple Andy, I'm surprised someone like you can't grasp it. He's won no grand slams and often falls short against the true greats. I'm not anti Murray and think he's good but to be considered "amazing" you have to win things and beat the best, so far he has come up short.

Anyone could say that. If Damon Hill hadn't driven at the same time as Schumacher he'd have won more titles. If Henry Cooper hasn't been around at the same time as Ali he'd have been a world champion. If Man United hadn't played Barcelona in their last two champions league finals they might have won them both. Every generation produces greats, Murray is good, but not good enough.

By what they win Frank. Until he wins something that matter he isn't world class.

Ive been to Wimbledon three times, twice on corporate days out and it's full of absolute helmets.

He isn't an amazing player. He's decent, Nadal and Federer are amazing players. Like the majority of sportsmen Britain produces he's a level down from world class.

They play at least one set less every match for a start. Same pay for less work.

And Thomas Ince. *unzips fly to loosen squashed testicle*
