Never fear, a left-back from Villa should solve all our problems...

The inconsistency in results - with long periods of terrible form - during Mowbray's tenure suggests that he's not been a great manager. By virtue of having good squads of players he's just about managed to win more games than he's lost, however you feel that a more astute coach would have done far better with the same players. Came across as a nice enough guy, and generally his transfer signings have been reasonable, but it was definitely time for a change.

That poster may claim "not to care" but, for those of us that are gay, we care a lot. Understanding your sexuality is confusing and alienating, particularly when you don't see yourself represented in the media or a sport that you enjoy. Jake may or may not go on to have a successful career in football, but the courage he's shown to come out and speak up at the start of it will be a comfort and inspiration to many.

Not the most ringing endorsement of Walton that Wigan chose to sign David Marshall rather than renew his loan deal. Still, time will tell I suppose.

Like Coyle, Mowbray had a decent start to managerial life, but recent history shows that he's not a very capable coach. But, given our bargain-basement recruitment strategy, should we expect any less? We could sack him - given that he's failed to achieve what I'm sure was his mandate of avoiding relegation - but which out-of-work no-hoper will the Venkys appoint next? Until they are gone there will be no strategy, no plan, no decent prospective players or coaches. It's all irrelevant.

Do we now?

Concept was excellent but most of the humour doesn't really land. Quite liked it though. I wasn't at all impressed, thought it was very much style over substance. Most of the characters were wooden and unbelievable and the plot had more holes than a Swiss cheese. Visually stunning, but let down by everything else.

One of the finest films ever committed to celluloid.

Saw Avatar last night and I genuinely think it's one of the best pieces of cinema I've ever seen. The storyline maybe wasn't entirely watertight but it was the perfect vehicle for showcasing the simply epic world of Pandora. I was absolutely transfixed for the whole viewing and left wondering where the time had gone. If you watch one film this, or maybe any year, make it Avatar.

The 4th one's not half bad either. My personal favourite Gruber quote is "You asked for miracles Theo, I give you the FBI." With a nice lengthy pause between the F, B and the I.

Have always been a Great British Menu fan and think I was one of the few in the stadium, when we played Portsmouth, who knew who he was when he came on to do the draw! Absolutely delighted he got a dish through - he deserved it after 3 top 3 finishes - and what a dish; Lancashire Hotpot!! Got us a little bit of PR, and the guy comes across as a really genuinely nice bloke (together with Glyn Purnell and Danny Miller)!

It was the gamecube I think and, like you, I don't recall it being particularly good. Ditto the Crash Bandicoot one, I bought Tag Team Racing having absolutely loved the original and Crash Nitro Kart and it was terrible, don't think I drove more than half-a-dozen circuits.

You know what I would pick him above Warnock because, after all, he is English and... oh, wait...

Oh, give it a rest. People the world over do this every day (not that I'm condoning it in anyway shape or form) but, because they're footballers, you give them chapter and verse. People make mistakes. People kill other people. They do not warrant threads attributed to them. I request mods to close this please, it's not about football, it shouldn't be here.

Thought I'd regenerate (think that's been said before!) this thread in light of the new series... serious scope for a brilliant series with rumours of the characters due back in the later episodes! Really looking forward to the return of the Ood, the Sontarans, Rose and Martha! Saturday's episode was fairly typical Doctor Who, thrills, spills and laughs throughout. I loved it!
