Did the same It might be knee jerk, it might be an over reaction, but I'm not gambling with my savings just to look a smart?rse, f?ck that And the BofE will not bail every institution out, somewhere along the line they'll have to let some fail, like the Yanks with Lehman

Terrible. If someone did that to me they'd better watch out next time I face them. It's the intent ... I can stomach a bad tackle but just outright kicking someone, putting them out for 3 months, I'd be fuming at the arrogance of it It was tantamount to assault, because it was nothing to do with the game itself

I have to say, you can pick the bones out of any article, but the gist of it I agree with entirely. Bad selection, bad tactics, not even having a go. The negativity is stifling.

That 'good shift' crap gets right on my nerves, what a dull, tedious, old hat approach to take. It doesn't even encompass concepts like battle or scrap never mind flair, enthusiasm or excitement. It just suggests they are doing a mundane job, and gives thanks for actually putting in an average amount of effort.

Definitely, and playing him in midfield is arguably worse. The midfield on Saturday was horrific. JOB, McCann and Muamba should never be in the same team. Ideally just one of the 3 should play, at most 2. Never, under any circumstances, all three. With Nolan and Gardner to supplement them and Davies up front, I'm amazed we scored a goal. Not an ounce of pace or flair.

You've picked 3 of 6 in the wrong position ! Quite simply Megson plays too many defensive midfielders. Just one guy on the pitch with a hint of pace or flair would change the whole balance. But he is one of these sh?t English managers who talks of players doing 'shifts', instead of producing a bit of inspiration. These types are the successors to Graham Taylor.

Almost certainly And I hope it was, at least he then realises McCann does not contribute enough to the team Play a more attacking player instead of him FFS

Still cringeworthy to this day, what a f?cking shambles Whatever the ins and outs at Newcastle, having Wise choosing the players is madness - what has he ever done to suggest he is a good judge of a player?

It's funny because it's true !

Yep, getting help for mental illness that has led to alcoholism is that simple. It's like treating a broken finger I guess, turn up to the hospital or clinic and get your cure. Job done.

Never thought I'd see the day when I said this, but yes, Browny is the man for us if Megson doesn't shape up. He is a bit of an Allardyce clone but then I was always a staunch fan of Allardyce. Thing is I doubt he'd leave Hull right now. Megson, well, I've never been sold on him. But the jury is still out. Last season he inherited a mess and ultimately we stayed up (should've been easier than it was mind). So far this year, I think we've been unlucky with the injuries and suspensions. I can't really judge him when 3 of his biggest signings are missing for most of the 4 games we've had. However, if the situation isn't any better after 10-12 games we need to act decisively.

Do the planes not pay reduced ( or even zero) tax on their fuel? They should be taxed more, the taxpayer is subsidising these cheap flights. Do you REALLY think that the cost of flying you to Prague and back is ?70?

It's harsh. And I feel bad saying it. But my first thought was 'bullsh?t'. It's just such an outlandish bet to make.

Depends how you look at it We were the better team for the first 15 mins, then they had a good 10 minutes, before we scored End of the day they are two relatively well matched teams, we just got the breaks

He said we were tired after twenty minutes ! Pretty crap commentator all in all

You'll hear no more of it til Wimbledon !

Don't pay for damp proofing injections etc would be my advice IMO you have a water ingress from somewhere (i.e. not the ground) Are there any windows nearby? I had a damp patch above my skirting and a company were quoting ?400 or so to hack off the plaster, inject the stuff etc. A right ballach? for most folk as it involves redecorating and allsorts. I fixed a crack in a wooden sill nearby, gave the sill a good sand down and repaint, made sure the room was ventilated for while, problem solved Likewise make sure there's nothing propped against the wall outside that is allowing water to soak through the wall at a higher point than the path, or guttering broken above that is dripping down the wall There is no reason a 1930's house would suddenly start bringing water up from the ground

I didn't get what happened there. Could he not query it or whatever? Can they not review it after the point, if the point has continued?

Serves him right for what?! Bizarre logic I remember watching Robbie Williams get pushed off stage like that, it was f?cking hilarious, obviously he cried and then got all the 'band' together after the show for a pep talk, to tell them he was alright...f?cking drama queen

The slow mo shots kind of exaggerate the impact really I think, or at least give it a realism that isn't always apparent when watched at normal speed On the second point you're spot on. The basic rule is hands up chin down. Amir does the opposite.

I agree, it is a waste of time Faroes too Or they should at least have some kind of staggered qualifying system.

As you probably know, Benn had grown up in Ilford and had done time in the army, far from the mollycoddled life Amir has had. But then to be fair Amir doesn't lack fighting spirit, he just cannot take a punch... Benn was a nutter anyway, as he said himself after about a dozen fights 'I'm sick of fighting these Mexican Roadsweepers' !

Not sure how you come to this conclusion. Frank Warren has now complained that Rubio chose the opponent, so he's as good as admitted he was hand picking safe opponents before this. Anyway the complaints were based on Amir saying 'Yes, I'd like to fight Pacquaio / Hatton' and 'I'm above British level now' yet having life or death battles with guys who weren't even near the best lightweights in Britain. Amir won't be winning a bona fide world title ever; the moment Limond dropped him most people knew there was a problem over and above his inexperience. The struggle he had beating Gomez was the final nail for me; he's a British level fighter, perhaps European. No more. There are half a dozen truly world class operators at lightweight who would take him to the cleaners, and there's probably twenty more who would be hot favourites to beat him.

He was trained by Harrison up til the Gomez fight wasn't he? So Limond floored and very, very nearly KO'ed him under Harrison. And 'beating everything in front of you' can be very misleading in boxing especially if you are fighting smaller guys all the time. Anyway, make your mind up, he either was going the right way under Harrison or he wasn't... I don't think he was. Not necessarily Harrison's fault but still...

He was getting floored and not making any progress when Harrison trained him, so I disagree with that. And the real problem IMO was that Khan held all the aces in that arrangement. Go to Roach, Mayweather, Steward, McGirt in the States and if you don't train and progress as they ask you'll get turfed. The other stuff I don't concern myself with, every single boxing relationship - boxer, trainer, promoter or whatever ends with one side b?tching and taking the moral high ground, it's worse than Eastenders. I believe Khan's camp didn't do things the right way when they sacked Harrison but really, what's that got to do with anything?
