  1. You destroyed them Mike! Well done. Unimpressed by the contestant who didn’t know The Badger question
  2. Thing is from some of Sanchez’s performances is that impact is to help us lose a game.
  3. I wonder if he was involved in the signing of Bennett?
  4. Sanchez; the master of the misplaced pass? If Sherwood can get him to complete passes then he will improve massively as a player
  5. Hopefully he will watch him play and train and give him the right kind of encouragement and motivation. Who knows what Gabby needs; I don’t know him personally, so I don’t presume to know. He might respond to being boll•cked. He might respond being told he’s the best in the world. Clearly the manager who we cannot mention knew what made him tick. Whether he can return to that I don’t know
  6. Like the rest of the squad I hope Sherwood gets the best out of him. If he does that he will be an asset to us.
  7. I've never seen him so will reserve judgement, especially given that players who are "the next......." never really work out. Wasn't Djimi Traore supposed to be the "next Zidane?" I wish him well and hope he settles quickly because we need him. Badly. I believe it was Bruno Cherou; though it was a commonly handed out accolade to Houllier’s signings...
  8. What this world needs is people they can believe in whatever side of the political divide is. I just think Brand isn’t that kind of person.
  9. Ah, but you see, you've proved they do. By not using yourself as an example, you've implicitly consented to its accuracy and confirmed your taste for infant flesh. now you mention it I am partial to jelly babies So great he said it twice
  10. I don't see a massive problem here, I have to say. I had this debate with my rather right wing mother in law the other night. Basically, I cannot see why a 'socialist', or a person espousing revolutionary ideas and ideals, has to live as a troll underneath a canal bridge, in order for their views to be worthy or genuine. Anthony Wedgewood Benn was born into a position/life of relative prosperity and privilege, and his left wing views hardened as he got older and had more experience of the capitalist and govenmental machine. I really don't understand why someone must be poor or live in squalor to hold ant-establishment views. But to live a life that benefits from things you deride in public seems peculiar to me. In what way? He's no longer with Khan, and lives in an east london apartment. It isn't exactly Buckingham Palace. So he didn’t benefit in any way from a house purchased in an elaborate scheme to avoid pay inheritance tax, set up by that great man of the people Jimmy Goldsmith? Its all rather ironic. As is having your book published by Random House/Penguin.
  11. I would say the right and the left are exactly alike in that its all about look after people of the same political colouring and those they gain political advantage from. Oh and hypocrisy will always be the order of the day. And whatever the colour; the establishment looks after itself.

  13. The ‘faces’ in the Bush won’t like what you saying, even if they can’t explain it. Irish Jack will see you later.
  14. Private Eye writes about Brand’s ex- Jemima Khan, and her acquisition of Kiddington Hall for £15million. Or rather she didn’t, a Cayman Islands company called Kidslane Ltd did. Of course Khan is the daughter of Sir Jimmy Goldsmith, a man who probably did not pay all of his tax. Eye understands that much of Revolution was written there. You couldn’t make it up.
  15. Think the current issue of Private Eye does. The Guardian Brand should have self published his book rather than getting it done by Random House/Penguin
  16. Did he not use to write for the Sun?
  17. He’s a £2-£3million player. Which is about what we paid for him and what he’s worth now.
  18. The thing with grammar schools is that it was based not on background or money, but on intelligence, trades traditionally wanted educated, literate, etc employees. I don’t think I agree that any school is better/worse at pastoral care; you get good and bad from my own experience as a child and a parent. I agree that we should have schools for children depending on ability, rather than a fit one system. One thing I would say about private/public school is that sports wise they have much better facilities (in part to the stupid idea of selling off sports fields), but also the importance they place on sport. Anyway Farage went to Dulwich.
  19. Isn’t it time we did something to stop the increasingly black and whiteness of education of ‘public [i.e. Eton, Westminster, etc]/private’ versus ‘state’? Labour’s idealistic idea to get rid of grammar schools done with the best of intentions, seems to have made the problems worse. Neither Labour nor Conservatives seem to want to really tackle it.
  20. I love the way that the baby is kind of just slipped in... True sportsman.
