On the US funding of IRA mention it amused me hearing a story from a movie director (or similar) about Mickey Rourke when travelling in N. Ireland. Rourke had a republican tattoo and when they approached a Protestant area he was advised best to cover it up. The director guy said Rourke was completely nonplussed and had no idea there was anyone opposed to the Irish 'freedom fighters'.

And there was me thinking I couldn't love him any more

May have been posted before but some more insight into the great man http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ronald-koeman-there-was-contact-aston-villa-once-never-meeting

Why fair play? I read about it from Reuters.

Many slaughter him but Clattenburg is so much better than many of these younger refs. Only other one I have been impressed with was that fella who did the Newcastle game, can we have him more often please.

Last 9 league games: W6 D2 L1 GF13 GA4 = 20Pts And that has been achieved with a fair few injuries and included games against 3 of the top teams with 6 against teams in Top 10. Some people are just plain greedy.

Out of interest how do you level 'Particularly stupid brick wall' with not throwing insults around? Especially as the chap seemed to be quite accepting that your opinions differed. Also wondering if you keep a list of posters and how much respect they have? Would be good to try and climb up the list by gaining some more from my esteemed fellow posters and lose forum clown tag. Maybe I could start a why is Steven Davis underrated thread to get some respect back. Anyway as said in reply to DM may have been OTT but can't promise it won't happen again. Oh and I'm rarely wrong

This will add some interest - apparently used to house share with Ralf Little Oh dear. Looks like Clarke Carlisle's going to get away with it - AGAIN. #Teflon #nonstick http://t.co/cVMlcxMCvl https://twitter.com/RalfLittle/status/563118190482690048

You really are one of the biggest pr1cks on here. HTH I assume from Pap's reply that you were the one bleating about parking outside your house. Sounds like you have lots of struggles and don't know how to cope mostly.

Update for iOS. They have acknowledge feedback was overwhelmingly negative. Doesn't look too different though

Fair point - tbh only read the first line. I like jokes honest

Or maybe it was a lighthearted comment you have overreacted to?

BG bemoans how the suits reduced his 40 min chat to 5 mins on Football Weekly podcast. Said he was brilliant and also had fig roll s in biscuit tin. Helpful as heard someone might be going on Mastermind with MLT as specialist subject

Never seen any of the Deathwish films?

Indeed. All over so soon. Guardian strapped for cash and seems a bit of a waste of money. Left me wanting more and could have at least panned round his house showing toilets, how many bottles of Malibu he has in stock etc. Dunno why but I reckon he might have gnomes in his garden as well and would have been good to see.

Yeah never going to fail is it. Why do we keep anyone when we are guaranteed to bring in better. They must have had a brain fade offering him a contract

Agree. Definitely would be useful to have a Les Reed's meeting thread to get more insight into his whereabouts. I fear his head has been turned and just doing teh lecture circuit these days. And chatting up women

Easy to say but last month nearly put a tenner on Ings to Liverpool at 33/1. Now 6/4 ahem

Why does Mark Ronson hate us so much? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31023454

Does Les know best? http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/11754393.Les_Reed_gives_Southampton_Ladies_fresh_hope_of_re_establishing_link_with_Premier_League_club/?ref=mac

If anyone's interested. Never drunk a pint of lager in his life http://www.theguardian.com/football/video/2015/jan/29/matt-le-tissier-video-interview?CMP=share_btn_tw

People quick to use when fits the narrative. Lots made of the least amount of soft tissue injuries of any PL team last season. Don't hear too much about it this season when Toby and Wanyama's hamstring goes. We don't have magic solutions. Anyway my point is players can fly and play a few days later. Even if 95% still won't necessarily stop a deft first touch, thronking volley etc.

So influential when he turned around Fulham away last season. As many have said few dismissing his contribution lightly. Loss imo

Only if the tube falls out
