Rev do you not think that they'd rehearsed that press conference with a tick list of stuff that the press had been bleating about that Sven wasnt? Passion - check Exciting attacking football - check Get a passionate leader - Check (the wrong one but hey) Show you're not Sven's number 2 by dropping Beckham - Check Im still not convinced and the proof of the pudding is in the eating I suppose - but Im seriously underwhelmed so far Oh Phil, you seem to be obsessed with my spelling (or lack of) Id suggest you need to get out and get a life at some point, possibly a real girlfriend too, not an inflatable one, instead of obsessing over something so pathetic as whether I can spell or not (the answer being not most of the time).

Well done Steve - Ive never heard so many cliches from one person in a single press conference.

crouch has scored 6 goals to Rooney's 11

It cost me £40 to get a ticket to watch the Saturday's play at teh Edgebaston Test this year - (£30 for the sunday) - A whole days play for £40 or £37 for an hour and half of footer.

The Sun isnt it?

name a better english right back

Although if he is useless you heard it here first

maybe hes staying on to help Benni settle into the UK so we dont have a lonely homesick £3million striker whos effing useless

Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode Mystify - INXS

they have an arms dealing sugar daddy

no, he knows what films he likes and what he doesnt. Its his opinion - I find with Kermode that if he likes a film its a very good film (unless its the Thin Red Line which is ######) if he doesnt like it - it might have something going for it. Also Ice Age 2 is the death of cinematic narrative although still quite amusing

Ive done it over the phone when I moved house - ask to speak to her manager

Possibly but the "driving a Rolls Royce" should have given a clue on who would have come out best in a collision. Also it would ave been likely that the O'Neil deal wouldnt have gone through and I'd have been barred from entering Solihul or Sutton Coldfield ever again. Such a shame

Dave Edmundson's their chief exec - couldnt happen to a nicer man :ph34r:

It wasnt followed by a red card or broken leg?

Mr Blue Sky by ELO

on a slightly related note - I drove past Deadly Doug this morning (his Rolls Royce's reg is AV1) I flashed my lights and waved and he waved back, unfortuantely he then almost hit a car that pulled out of hte junction in front of him. oops

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD READ!?!?!?!?!?! Give your self a hard slap for that one philistine . Its a masterpiece and worringly close to reality.

Its crucial to the plot?

Labyrinth by Kate Mosse - Makes the DaVinci Code look like a masterpiece of literature. His Dark Materials is an absolutely awesome trilogy that get better - it helps that you know some Catholic Dogma but its not vital. Ive got a load of cheap books from the Works always a good place to look for some bargains - I'll give you a review of the ones Ive read when I get back next week. I can recommend anything by Gordon Stevens (although hard to find now) Mill Millington's books "Things My Girlfriend and I have argued about" and "Love and other near death experiences" are, I think, a hoot. " A Year in the Merde" is rather amusing, Nelson DeMille and Lee Child are good authors if you like thrillers and then theres Jeffery Deaver, Kyle Mills, Michael Connelly, Eric L Harry and Jack DuBrul for some other not bad authors who very rarely write dross. Stay well clear of anything with a greek letter in the title - it'll be pooh

you can stick it round the edges using cable ties - or you could pay £80 for a wireless router

huh huh huh huh huh

stick it under the carpet

they're a good indie band - not enough anger or power chords to be a "Rock" band

you can buy 30 odd metres of network cabling for a 10th of the price of the wireless option - slightly more secure as well
