Yeah but fair do's, it is the mighty Cheltenham.

Huge bargain at £10m. If he has another season like this next season he will be worth £25million to £30million. He is potentially top class. We will do well to keep him more than a couple of years.

Actually, you are probably correct because I didn't go last year! I was definitely there the year before and yes, it did shat down. I won on Long Run that year but probably not BIG, like your boss. Stitched me up too! Tried to jump the shadow. Stupid horse.

Yep, I'm going on Friday. Hoping for some better weather this year!

The really shocking thing about that pitch invasion was how utterly tinpot it was. QF win, FFS. Embarrassing.

It's quite ridiculous of you to pretend that this is a new phenomenon under Cameron. You may have numerous legitimate gripes with him but the notion that he is the first PM to be slippery and not answer the question at PMQs is just risible. Find some footage of Blair or something for a true look at a narcissistic evasionist of the highest order.

If SNP end up being the decisive adjunct to a ruling coalition then the English, N Irish and Welsh ought to have an independence referendum.

I agree it seems disproportionately managed but I suppose it's the lack of ambiguity that makes it such a flagrant and unedifying offence. Now, let's see if a Man U player gets a lengthy ban (should be increased for a frivolous appeal IMO)....

Why on earth not? If I meet someone in a club who looks over 20 and I want to have sex with them and they want to have sex with me I am not going to ask to see their ID, and neither is anyone else.

Yes, it's not so much swearing that irks me, it's aggressive screaming at the ref; running up to them; borderline physcial intimidation etc. Yellow card. Like has been said, it will stop pretty quickly once Rooney, Henderson, Terry etc get booked constantly.

Agreed, and those problems could all be sorted quite easily by stricter refereeing. No rules would really need to be changed, just interpreted more stringently and yellow cards issued. I would rather see someone booked for time wasting or delaying a free-kick than for being a split-second late for a tackle. It's purely a culture of tolerance from officials that allows this. The same as having players scream in your face and just walking it off. Book them! Jordan Henderson, Kevin Nolan, Wayne Rooney... budgies like those should be booked at least twice every match.

Not sure what your point is? He should have been booked but wasn't - which, I thought, was exactly what most people are saying: that referees do not do enough to stop time wasting.

Strange evaluation of Djuricic who looks to have settled straight in, despite moving to a new country and having not played much this season, and has played well. He is brave on the ball, clearly more skilful than Davis or JWP and looks much more likely to play an incisive pass. He's basically Gaston but without the tendency to give the ball away cheaply. He gives us something that Lallana used to, which is the ability to transition a harmless looking midfield situation into an attack through moving dynamicallly with the ball. He and Mane are our only players who do that.

I like Djuricic.

Are they much more expensive than a typical "local" firm?

Me too, it really was an absolute sitter. Like Lambert's at Sunderland last season or Pelle's on Saturday. We were good enough to stay up that year but bad management and some mental fragility did for us. As others have noted, there were loads of games we should have won comfortably but contrived to mess up. As someone else also said, I've met Prutton and he is a nice chap.

This rule is never enforced. I do think there is something to be said for a crowd count though over those sort of things. It would certainly put more pressure on the ref to take some meaningful action rather than a token yellow card in the final stages of the game and the occasional point at the watch.

Forster Clyne. Fonte. Tobes. Bertrand JWP---------Morgan Djuricic Long. Mane Pelle KD, Yoshi, Vic, Davis, Tadic, Elia, Reed

He created two penalty shouts against Liverpool, one of which was absolutely blatant so I think that's a bit harsh. Shame we don't have another option though.

Man U v Arsenal on penultimate weekend. We win, Man U lose, Saints and Arsenal confirm Champs League qualification. Fact.

Well, it seems that the rancid fecal outpourings of soshal meja have, for once, given passage to an embedded sweetcorn of philosophical interest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_spectrum The fact is, you can quite easily agree with someone that it is "blue and brown" but you might perceive it in exactly the same way as someone who says it is "purple and grey". For a tangential exploration of the problems with ostensive definition, see, W.V. Quine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminacy_of_translation

Such a shame really. I looked forward to the Brazil world cup immensely but this is going to be ****e. Probably even worse than South Africa.

Bizarre. Typical of the nonsense one expects though.
