When you're watching Italian football aren't you left wondering whether he made a mistake or took a bung? I've lost all interest in watching Pakistan or India play cricket.

Who claimed he (or she) could fill up a bucket

Yep, they're up to 17 now. One more and they'll be able to fill the bench as well.

I expect you could still get a ST to watch League 1 football for "nearly £300" less than you pay now to watch PL football, so you're not really comparing apples with apples, are you?

Won't happen, but if it did, you'd have every rent-a-mob looney from around the world booking their flights to Rio for next year's WC.

You weren't at the England USA game in Rustenburg in 2010 then?

He'll give you some sweeties if you get in his car with him

Not at all. When you go to St. Mary's and meet the real fans, half of them are drunk and talk nonsense.

We were on thin ice a couple of times under the totting-up rule wrt Morgan's yellows. I expect that was in the back of his mind as well, and his performances might well have been affected. Morgan's always had a bit of a mean streak, and that's no bad thing in some circumstances, so long as a 3 match ban doesn't ruin your season.

You can't compare "It's a Knockout" with "Its a Cockout"

Nous l'avons déjà

... I'm sure there's a website out there somewhere that can hook you up with one.

So it isn't an eastern European internet web browser then?

How very true, because 16 players with no training facilities and no coach is a far better approach to pre-season preparations.

Probably true, like all Government procurement (not just UK), but introducing the compensation culture isn't the answer. It's one branch of the judiiary opening a very lucrative door for another. Jobs for the boys (and girls). Inevitable result of 20 years of very weak government scared to say boo to a goose for fear of losing votes.

Not enough thought going into some of the comments on here. Obviously always being equipped with the best equipment available is both subjective and impossible. Technological advances are made all the time, and the bad guys won't wait until our troops are re-supplied with the latest gizmos. There should be a test of reasonableness, but I'd be amazed if that isn't already in place. What I don't understand is why it has to come down to money (compensation). If somebody or some people screw up along the way, and the wrong equipment is in the wrong place at the wrong time, then yes there should be consequences. Demotion, firing (in a sacking sense not with a blindfold), loss of pension rights, etc. and affected personnel or their families should have the right to know, without names being named. But suing for extra compensation, over and above what others get? That's just wrong, and just another licence for greedy unscrupulous lawyers to get rich at our expense.

Another victory for the terrorists

No, that's mayuka, apparently.

Can't you try the "mousepointer sheepdog" app, with a strategically positioned venus flytrap (dionaea muscipula) next to the screen? Job done.

That's spooky, 'coz Wanyama is also the local Swahili word for "bunch of English poofters from Devon"

Seems as if the plan to send all the Boers to NZ to watch rugby, and free up local TV space for the PL games here is still on track then

I remember her.

More points than we had last year though, eh?

I do. We're gonna get some disappointing draws from games we should have won. We'll win some we expected to lose. and lose some we expected to win. And we'll end up safe, and higher up the table than we did last year. It's easy this football malarkey.

... and think of all the i-pads and i-phones you'll win.
