'They visited a strip club in 2008 when he and two other MPs on the committee . . . spent some time on the dancefloor'

I knew a Geography student at uni who asked us if Belgium was the capital of France.

The Vote Leave campaign is jointly headed by Birmingham's own Gisela Stuart (who was born and raised in Germany, funnily enough). This isn't especially related to the referendum, but I've always personally doubted her sanity since she came to an assembly at my (all boys) secondary school and spent her entire speech talking about how much better girls were as students in every way. Seemed like an odd choice of topic.

If that's what she wants, she's going to be disappointed regardless of what we do.

This isn't actually true IIRC.

Easily done.

I will definitely be trying to go to Elland Road, and will inevitably be going to the Custard Bowl. Quite fancy Hillsborough as well, got a mate who's a big fan so that would be good. I want a ripe atmosphere - not for fighting I stress, I just like noisy grounds - where makes the most racket?

Fingers crossed!

Oops.

I've read so many explanations over the past 30 pages, but to be honest I find none as persuasive as my own assumption that they realised every single person working for the club is a driveling idiot. There's not a single employee who doesn't think Brawndo's got what plants crave.

I think they could be in trouble. Could easily see them losing to any of Everton (unless it's at Goodison!) United or Chelsea. I know they have a four point cushion but they can only really afford to lose once. Ulloa is alright, but he's not even close to replacing Vardy, he's not got close to that sort of running in him.

Lost 20,000 places last night

'Why don't you consider supporting any other football club?'

Then they need to stop saying it was wrong to sack Sherwood, if their best argument is we replaced him with the wrong person. I don't even understand this. Is there a single other club in the division that wouldn't sack the manager after getting 4 points from the opening 10 or 11 games?

I'll take your house on that one. This is Gabby we're talking about, both those women are pregnant with triplets.

It basically is breathing helium out of a balloon. It has no side effects. I actually quite enjoy it at a party, as a little bit of fun, but it's no drug that's for sure. The name 'hippy crack' is the most stupid phrase in existence, literally only used by tabloid journalists.

'Woman in Big Eyebrows Scandal'? Mmm, not sure it'd work anywhere else, but it's more newsworthy than 90% of stuff in the Sun so let's run it! I'll assign three co-writers to help you, you can splash on it a fortnight next Tuesday.

Or indeed any other night for that matter.

I'm not in any way ITK, but thinking about this issue while driving home from work, I came up with a new theory based on a startling observation that honestly hadn't struck me before. That observation: Everybody associated with the club is a complete **** idiot. Hear me out here. I know some people didn't enjoy King's time at the Bank, but you don't get to be Governor of the Bank of England without a bit of grey matter between the ears. Similarly, Bernstein is spoken of well, plenty of people regard him as smart. Maybe they just looked around at all the dummies at this club and thought, what the hell have we got ourselves in for? I mean look at the owner. Here's a guy who seems like he probably can't tie his own shoelaces. A very large percentage of his adult life has been spent running two sports clubs catastrophically badly, one of them in a sport in which the worst teams can literally pick the best players next season. Despite that considerable advantage, his Browns team had a losing record nearly every season. His time here has been even worse; how many intelligent decisions do we think he's made since, oooh, let's say six months after buying the club? I bet you could count them on one hand. Or consider the players. I don't think we just have the worst team in the league, I think we have the dumbest as well. What to make of Brad Guzan, a grown man in his early thirties who earns an average person's annual salary every week, yet thinks flobbing chewing gum is an appropriate way to behave in public? Or Alan Hutton, who permanently wears the expression of a bewildered sheep? Or Joleon Lescott, who hasn't worked out that 'thank God we're relegated, the pressure's finally off' isn't what anyone wants to hear in a post-match interview, and who hasn't realised that 'my phone tweeted that picture of a car' is humanity's worst excuse since 'I smoked but didn't inhale?' And Gabby. Gabby is like the connoisseur's moron. Here is a man who looks like a dimwit when compared to other footballers! And I don't just mean noted smartarses like Duncan Watmore or Graeme Le Saux - Gabby is so thick he makes Ian Wright look like Cicero. And he's the club captain! Lord have mercy. You can go on as well, through the caretaker manager who is such an idiot he thinks it's sensible to keep starting a player whose contract expires in four games' time and who hasn't put in one single good performance for eleven calendar months. Or Paddy Reilly and his merry band of scouts, turning up rubbish and overpaying for it at every turn. Or the entire coaching staff, who have performed so badly at their jobs, their actual raison d'etre, that I can't think of one single first team player who is one iota better now than he was on his debut. I could carry on, but I'm being boring. It just strikes me that the better question isn't 'why did they leave', but 'why wouldn't anyone with an ounce of common sense?'

They don't care what it looks like later, once people have paid for their season tickets the money is in. That's all that matters.

Can't think of a worse investment than this **** football club.

No point not going for it in 3 weeks' time though, there's only one gameweek afterwards and squads on that day are notoriously unpredictable. Really might as well go balls to the wall in 37.

No worries though guys! We've still got Krulak

It's absolute dribble either way.

Really interesting looking that up, thanks!
