Excellent film. It's a good role for Russell Crowe.

I swear by the Chicken Shahee at Shajan!

TBF Gary Speed dying was more of a shock to people that Gary Ablett. Slow deaths don't sell papers. Like Paul though, I think there is more to the subject row as the cause of him taking his life but I think the coroner is allowing him to to rest in peace, and the press seem to be following suit. Which, given the press' thirst for scandal, is a rare good thing.

Fiona Apple - When the pawn hits the conflicts he thinks like a king what he knows throws the blows when he goes to the fight and he'll win the whole thing 'fore he enters the ring there's no body to batter when your mind is your might so when you go solo, you hold your own hand and remember that depth is the greatest of heights and if you know where you stand, then you know where to land and if you fall it won't matter, cause you'll know that you're right

Awful. Went to school in Blackburn.

Unbelievable. RIP Gary Speed.

Don't know from whom, but that it a clear copy and paste from Twitter. You really should say as such, 786. You do yourself no favours. Moving on... Sensitivity alert - please read my whole post before commenting! It's only a short point I want to make. Blatter? I'm not sure about this guy. My gut feeling is that his heart is in the right place. Much like Michael Jackson, in that respect. However, I can see the point of view that says THIS particular issue against him is a witch hunt - would the media uproar have been as great had we won the rights to host World Cup, for instance. He is an old man and old men view the world differently. They've seen it all, done it all (well, said it all in ol' Josep's case), and worn the T-Shirt. I can't decide if his comments are distinctly 1950s or visionarily 2050s. Maybe one day, we won't have such things as '-isms' and '-phobes' and we will accept, learn from, embrace and enjoy, even poke fun at, each others differences as much as their similarities - without the constant (and seemingly obligatory) need to take offence. I hate the word 'tolerance'. I understand the reason for it (you can't change how people think) but it just seems to me that it means putting up with people you don't like, and perpetuates ignorance. I prefer 'understanding'. I live in hope. ...another thread which belongs in ICBINF.

His career path will have crossed with Kean's between 2003-2006, at Fulham. The fact he's at Chelsea suggests he's decent in his role. But only first team coach for just under two years, and ready for a step up as Assistant Manager? My opinion? Another gamble that he has the necessary impact at a time when we need proven quality/experience at Management level. Nothing will change until Kean is upgraded.

Kean is not going to bring in anyone better than himself. Why would he? But it means we are going to have another poor quality, or even non-PL-experienced person involved. Or someone sycophantic towards Kean - can you imagine! In the non-PL corner, I'm half expecting him to go for Hope Powell to demonstrate how "progressive" a manager he is. We are crying out for (influential) experience on and off the pitch and we are likely to get neither.

If you say so!

I don't want to know how you came across that!

Was going to ask about T3. It's getting panned in the press but I guess it's not aimed at middle aged hacks!
