Sounds like the opportunity to hear Venables eat humble pie might have been worth the ticket and flight cost alone...

According to the Telegraph. Hard to argue when you look at the photo they used. Why do the tower blocks down Weston Shore continue to exist ? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/10360428/Crap-Towns-Returns-top-ten-worst-places-in-Britain.html?frame=2694567

I didnt say they stopped winning things. I inferred that the writing was on-the-wall for their over-bearing dominance of the English game. And it was. The same way it is now for Manyoo, imo..

You git, you beat me to it.

FFS, this bloke has feelings. Look at the photos of the childrens ward visit last Xmas, he was one of the players most into it. I would bet he gives 100% every time he steps out onto the field, what more can he do ? If he is playing at a level above what he is capable of, the fault lies with the club, not him. The abuse has to stop.

Can understand why you are saying that, but its simply evidence of the fact that the football-watching world simply hasnt got its head around the fact that Ferguson is gone. ManYoo have fallen back into the pack. I think its simply reassertion of the natural order of things. Look at Liverpool, they were never the same after Bob Paisley retired. Their time is over, imo.

Reckon we can do them, but they are going to click somewhen. What a time to have an international break Let's hope some hairy-arsed Pole or Montenegran does a job on Shrek.

And of course, Question Time audiences are renowned for their political balance and impartiality, arent they ?

Best result of the season so far imo, and it appears we are going from strength to strength. Swansea are one of those teams we so often slip up against and under-perform or one of those games where we allow ourselves to be ought-thought and out-fought in tactically. Now comes the biggie, and I for one look towards it with no fear for once.

Superb rebuttal, Wes.

I thought the Sport was out of print.

How can they play to their full potential with crap reducing their lung capacity ?

Yep. I wonder which side is really trying to manipulate public opinion in this cricus. Hopefully the backlash will start soon. Brilliant rebuttal of Labours latest toys-out-of-the-pram temper tantrum by Alex Brummer in the Mail this morning.

Pleased for Rickie he is still on the scene. Barring further injury I dont expect him to start, but may well be thrown on in the last third of games as a Hail Mary pass if all is going tittus verticus

This. A bubble blown by a party desperate to divert attention from the Damien McBride antics, ably supported by leftie acolytes throughout the land, it has to be said. I reckon even Goebbels would have admired this propoganda operation.

Actually, Ralfie stands in the dock for hating Britian, its culture, its way of life and wanting to effect radical change, not for not wanting to live in Britain.... Two entirely different things, as further illustrated by the present wave of Islamic fundamentalism in the UK.

Book was better (was impossible to put down), but writing a script from that was probably a bloody nightmare. The book version of Sum of All Fears is also brilliant. Personally felt the interwoven threads in the books after that got too complex.

Huh ? I am talking about Ed, not Ralph; Ed is clearly orchestrating a hysterical media backlash because he doesnt like his true colours and the background to them being analysed.

Typical FA. No MLT. Absolutely ridiculous.

If Millipede cannot hack the harsh glare of media scrutiny, he's in the wrong job. For me the most annoying aspects of the Daily Mail currently are the stupid badly written scripts that slow the website down so much that I could read the news item quicker if I walked back to the UK first, and the fact that most of the news items are from America and you are left scratching your head wondering "who the f**k is that?"

Something I've thought long and hard about doing, since the UK of today is not the UK I care to be associated with; societys values, culutre, etc are atrocious. And having lived abroad reminds me how slummy parts of the UK are. But in the end I couldnt bring myself to do it. I will be British till the day I die, for better or worse. We have a beautiful countryside, a capital city so full of character it is one of the most popular places on the planet to move to, and a history to be proud of. My children are half-Austrian and have spent most of their lives here, but both the elder ones already say they want to live in the UK when they leave education.

I see no issue whatsoever with analysing the political background and the roots of the beliefs of the man who might be the next Prime Minister of the UK. For me this is clearly a public interest issue.

I also see nothing to celebrate here. Nothing to do really with the player himself. Yep. Little news snippets like this remind us that we are still small-time in the scheme of English Premier League football.... We cant even hold on to a back-up LB of the dubious quality of Danny Fox, whether it is the attraction of staying for him or our ability to pay his wages.

Hi Andy, Nice to see we are building on those two great performances in Villach, eh ? I can live with your position on this. But at some point the club has to cut its losses, imo. Next season he will either be a key player or gone, I think. At the moment I suspect its more likely to be the latter than the former.

Absolutely spot-on. Couldnt have summarised the situation better.
