Christ, what does this guy know eh Alpine?

Been to the US lot's of times but never Monument Valley. It's definately on my to do list.

Personally, I think Oxo will be ahead of Walcott for both Arsenal and England before the end of the season.

Mixed feelings for me, delighted to see him score (and I knew he would) but when he ran towards the Arsenal fans celebrating, my heart sank. I want him to do well though, why? because he's English.

If Poopey hadn't got that winner in extra time on Saturday they would be in the bottom 3 now. Forest 3 down v Burnley. Sack for McLaren?

Does he? It appears to me that the quotes were cherry-picked and with the piece written as it was it suggests that the 'freebie' comments were aimed directly at MLT & LM. Whatever way you look at it, it's a bloody mess.

Because we've only got a bus, not a caravan!

'Grip of the football' appears to be Nigel's latest catchphrase, heard it a lot after the game yesterday and again just now.

Link not working for me and I can't find the article. Is it just me?

How will this affect my pension?

Nowt wrong with that, so am I.

What difference does it make when a poster joins for FFS? I'd me more concerned about using personal images as an avatar.

Heard this on R5L this morning along with a piece about a potential new cancer treatment. Therein lies the problem, we keep finding ways to prolong peoples lives but it has to come at a cost i.e. ever increasing retirement age.

I feel the same. First game since the opening day of the season for me as I'm recently back from holiday. It will make a change from finding out the score on line on a hotel PC.

Time to combine income Tax and NI. The whole tax system needs to be simplified, this would save money if nothing else. Also child benefit should be scrapped, if you can't afford to have kids don't have them. And yes, I am a parent by the way.

We went to NYC at the end of May, had a great time. Personally I would advise against the Hop on bus, there is an awful lot of waiting around. Use the Subway and do plenty of walking. If you have a smartphone check out the apps for the subway, very useful. Best bit of our trip and very reasonably priced too was climbing up the Statue of Liberty but you won't be able to do it for much longer, you also need to book well in advance as numbers are limited. We spent lots of time in Central Park, did both Rockafeller and ESB, one in the day the other at night, walked across Brooklyn Bridge, did a Broadway Show. We stayed at the Intercontinental NYC, a couple of blocks from Times Square. I would advise flying BA, you will get to use T5 which is nice and if you park at T5 Business parking you can get to use the cool futuristic 'pods' to the terminal.

..of which Bale is just as much a part of as any other player. Sorry but this comes down to supporting England against another nation (albeit a home one). If you profess to support England in other sports but not football then that is indeed weird. If you were not expecting any abuse after your original post then that is even weirder. I think your attitude is probably purely down to frustration at following England over the years, we have seen plenty of evidence at your impatience when supporting Saints. Thankfully the 20,000+ who go to games aren't as fickle. Thanks Smirking, I am fully aware Alps lives abroad, this was my feeble attempt at a little humour.

If you hate England so much why don't you **** off and live somewhere else?

Two guesses who made those comments!! "the club needs a properly elected system with fans representing their interests" No it doesn't!

Ask him if he thinks the club could be run better by a committee made up of members of this forum.

It was squeaky bum enough for me just logging in to get the result.

Just logging in from Tenerife, was it as close as the score suggests?

Just managed to get online in Tenerife after a sleepless night not knowing the result. Thanks for the reports, just seen the goals. What a great feeling about this club. Absolutely bloody brilliant!!!

Look, I'm off on holiday tomorrow. I would very much appreciate it if this could be sorted out before I leave FFS!
