  1. Can't remember much about that book - read it in about 2004 I think. I remember really enjoying it, and his recollection of his grandparents garden, and that's about it.
  2. I've tried really hard to hate him, I've even managed it. Especially with his ridiculous divey antics. But by crikey this lad can play football. He's the archetypal modern footballer. Fast, strong, can score goals, works hard. The "football is only a live soap opera" part of me would love to see him sign for Real Madrid so I could see a team with him and Ronaldo in it. How good is he now, and how good do you think he could get? And with him, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Walcott - what's making kids from Southampton be able to run so fast?!
  3. Cheeks are a great buy. Cheap and full of flavour. Cook slowly. Couple of hours. You can also get fish cheeks, and the great George Lassalle has a recipe for cod cheeks. Needs to be a big fish, though... As for calf's head, never had it, but after reading Anthony Bourdin, would love to: I love eating animals as much as the next guy, but there's something macabre about peeling the face off a baby cow, sticking its bollocks inside the floppy result and setting about it with a knife and fork.
  4. So we've got page-widening maps, phunnay pics and amusing gifs but nowhere to put some of the cool pictures we find on our daily surfs. Here are a few I saw today to get us started -
  5. He's scored less goals for us than Eric Lichaj.
  6. I'd have brought on another goalkeeper.
  7. Timor patulae, parva voluissem, celebritas fascinavit, iniusti, et non possunt resolvere aliquid
  8. Get that translated into Latin and we could have it on a UK coat of arms.
  9. If culpable homicide can mean just a fine and / or a suspended sentence why would they throw away the key for anyone rather than give them, say, a fine and / or suspended sentence?
  10. Anybody else think that was Barry Bannan's real hand at first glance?
  11. To give modern football some context, we'd need each of those 1 million fans to donate £38 so we could afford to sign Sergio Agüero. We'd then have to ask them for another £4 each to pay his signing on fee. Maybe £6.50 if he's got a good agent. The good news is it'd only cost us 20p a week each to pay his wages. So another £40 over a 4 year deal. So we've got a million fans and it'd cost them getting on for £90 each to sign ONE of Manchester City's players. Revenue is largely irrelevant. Owning the world's largest oil field is the key to success.
  12. PauloBarnesi and I have worked together on several projects after meeting on here.
  13. SEVENTY-FIVE GRAND PER WEEK £75,000 SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS PER WEEK SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND Crikey Moses... I'm sure there are better players out there earning less than that.
  14. Does he? Where has he said that? He did not have to say it. Just take a look at our starting lineup and count the experience in it and compare us to any other club in the Premier League for recent signings and $$$ spent. Congratulations! Here's your prize!
  15. If he's got to leave I'd rather he went abroad so I don't have to see him every week on MotD. If he was at Atletico Madrid or PSG I'd be proud to say he'd come from VIlla. If he was at Spurs or that horrible sky blue shite I'd be gutted.
  16. Whilst surrounded by people drawing football kits I shuffle about, drinking coffee and tutting.
  17. Looks like he'll be off first chance he gets then, according to his agent in The Guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/feb/15/aston-villa-christian-benteke-losing-battle?CMP=twt_gu
