According to the Mail, ol' Souey is getting ready with a 6m bid for Distin. If true, then I think it's persuasive proof that he has gone stark raving mad. I wouldn't trust him with a fiver.

So it's OK for Douglas Hurd to meet, David Mellor to meet him, (as Mr C points out) Donald Rumsfeld to meet him, but not old George, who is the odd one out on that list as he didn't try to sell him arms? I don't quite follow your logic(?)

Of the comments I have read attributed to George Galloway, I have to say I think he is right.

The bank, I should imagine ...

Did David Copeland wage war against this country by planting bombs in London? Sorry, I just don't see it, you may as well say muggers are committing treason. Rather than ripping people's beards off, we need to look at a more peaceable approach to a solution in the Middle East, rather than going in gung ho and watching the rubble bounce.

Er ... would the perpetrators actually be guilty fo treason though? Would've thought they were more likely to be guilty of mass murder?

It's this "size" thing again! It must be why some blokes go fishing, it's comparing penis sizes without being accused of being a poofter, except fish size is used as a proxy. "How big is your club?" blah blah blah. Pathetic. Were Villa "bigger" than us when we won the league?

Said it before, will say it again, this is the phoney war, and counts for absolutely nothing when it comes to determining who wins the Ashes. If England have a good first day of the First Test, I might start to get excited. Until then, I'm wary.

Perhaps downstairs was full, in which case, that was lucky (in a sense!)

Are you going to stop wailing like an old woman now? "EEEEeurgh Rovers, what are you doing?! Sort it out, board!" Now that you've stopped panicking about signings, you'll probably start worrying yourself into a state of collapse about season tickets. N'est pas?

"Hong Kong Grooby"! Quality!

Not sure who this thread is for, to be honest. I doubt anyone who's suffered as a result will be reading. It just looks liek a mud-slinging contest, with some call-to-arms rhetoric and right-on credentials thrown in for good measure.

Why doesn't he do us all a favour and top himself, preferably in a room full of his converts? Not sure what the Powell-allegory was for either, don't think it was anything to do with SS Windrush or controlled immigration. It's to do with religious nutters. They could be people visiting the country, second-generation immigrants, or people whose ancestors lived here and have converted to Islam.

AESF, it's the way of the World mate ....

Maybe Hughes thinks that Coley is teh man to get the best out of Matt again? (Ooops, we've done that to deat as well, haven't we?)

Was hardly going out on a limb though, was I?!

Heed what I say!

Goodness me, get a grip all of you! First day of teh first test, then we'll know which way it will go. Believe me, if the Aussies have a good first day then that will be it. My own personal opinion is that Australia now have no psychological advantage, their aura is floating somewhere in the River Avon. I think that will count for a hell of a lot if we play without fear on that first day. But after 20 years(!) of pain, I am not counting my chickens, I wouldn't be surprised if tehy retained the Ashes, one-day bunfights don't really count for much.

What I want to know is ... If suddenly crowds started deserting the male game, and started watching women's football ... would the tarnishing that we've seen occur in the men's game also occur in the women's? Would Blackburn Rovers' star forward be caught with her hand down some bloke's trousers in a nightclub? Would women start rucking on the pitch? Would a group of girls on holiday entice a bloke back for sex in their apartment and secretly film him? I think every Prem club should have a girly team and then we all went to watch them instead of teh blokes I think we'd all be much better off. Lee Bowyer on the dole because of a bunch of girls ... quality!

AESF, you are rapidly becoming "Mr Tabloid" painting bleak pictures of the country in melodramatic tones. You take a newspaper report and wander off on another cliche-ridden diatribe, which is very reminiscent of all your other diatribes. Let me think here ... - Immigration - Chavs - Footballers - Immigrant Chav Footballers. Seems to sum it up really!

And you know why? It's all these bleeding immigrants, innit?!

Cronulla, that's the name! I'm sure I'd bound up them no worries :-)

Seems like England should be the ones running up sand dunes for hours one end for teh last couple of months, and the Aussies taking it easy; rather than the other way around.

Got to disagree. Rio should be held up as a beacon of a footballer. Overpaid. Stupid Unable to defend against Duncan Ferguson Multiple driving offenses What's that word you use when you want to describe some one who can't talk proper? Know what I mean? Looks like a duck, quack. Want's more money than £100,000 a week (£5.2m a year) 320620[/snapback] - Goes on someone's stag do, lets off fire extinguishers after knocking on hotel guests' doors, then totally denies it. - Makes a p*rn film with unwitting female participants. - Gets smacked by Swedish gangsters after telling them to eff off (particularly enjoyed that one actually). - "Forgets" to attend a drugs test, when all evidence points to him actually knowing he had one, but strangely absenting himself.
