What do you get when you cross Lineker with biscuit millionaire? Gary - BALDY !!

Without Jussi we'd be about 10th.

He's shite!

It's fine to be "a firm believer in self reliance and making your own way in the world" when you're married to a multi millionaire. Thatcher destroyed the mining industry despite the fact that 90% of the pits she closed were productive and profitable. She systematically destroyed communities in the north, the midlands and south Wales. She imported cheap coal from Asia and Eastern Europe - how patriotic - and her sole reason for all of this was to destroy the NUM, which she did. She ruined countless families all for a power crazed vendetta. On top of which she destroyed the steel, shipping and car industries and squandered the huge wealth brought in from North Sea Oil. To quote Elvis Costello, "When England was the whore of the world Margaret was her madam." I look forward to dancing on her grave.

If Sam says that there is only Nolan who has been a success for Bolton who has not been picked for his country, does this mean he doesn't regard Hunt as a success?

Wasn't fishing?! I was out there in a trawler with dolphin friendly nets! Seriously though, I think we would have been more sensible building the defence around him 18 months ago rather than use him as fill in for which ever defender is out injured.

He he! I didn't think I would get as big a catch as Traf on my first fishing expedition!

Maybe if he had been offered the captaincy instead of the somewhat overated Nolan he may have been tempted to stay.

I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever put a post on here that people agree with!

Where are these positive thoughts?

Well if you lasted 92 minutes she won't be your ex for long!

I take it you didn't notice some top class Campo passing and distribution then? Agreed, he hasn't got the pace for a full back, but he didn't do a bad job as an emergency stop gap for two hours against some bloody quick Arsenal wingers.

Anelka, Diouf, Speed and Andranik were excellant.

Could be worse. I watched Rovers on 5 this afternoon and I'd swear the commentator was an unfunny version of Alan Partridge.

Well said! Perhaps the working mother who would pay ??86 under the new scheme should put her kids on the school bus, thus saving her about ??75 a week and increasing the demand for an under used, and therefore under threat, school bus service. Mind you, if it were down to me I'd ban all cars except public transport and emergency services.

Sounds a bit like Nolan then.

Let's be honest, Allardyce is a superb manager for a club of our size, but he has all the public relations expertise of Myra Hindley. Does he really think that someone who earns twice as much in a week as I earn in a year can't get motivated unless I shout a bit louder? Do me a favour.

( I agree to a point, except that people who sing Ivan Campo do so because he's got funny hair and is a bit weird, not for any footballing reasons. If he was from Breighmet they'd be booing him like they do Nicky Hunt. No. People sing "Ivan Campo" because he is a good footballer. People do not sing "Nicky Hunt" because he is not. Simple, really.

Nah

If I were a linesman I would execute defenders who applauded my offsides. I'll be there.

Phil Jupitus is touring with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band at the moment. Off to see them at the Apollo on Wednesday. Probably be the youngest one there. - Apart from my son of course!

Yes, Johnson missed a sitter yesterday, but he has scored six or seven prior to missing that sitter.

9 years? Pedersons got a while to go yet then!

How long do we give him to settle in? we're a third of the way through the season now.

I fear that Thatcher's overbearing style of captaincy may have the rest of the team in open revolt sooner rather than later. Perhaps she could be replaced by Clement Attlee - he was good at achieving the odd landslide victory.
