  1. How is a professional footballer who played at the highest level in recent years now bankrupt? He must have earned more money than most of us can dream of in a lifetime... Utterly daft...

    He has never talked publicly about having a gambling problem. In his Newcastle days though he reportedly amassed a debt of £60,000.

    In his early days he apparently managed to squander £47,000 in one day and £62,000 over three – not what you'd call prudent housekeeping.

    Shame really, he comes across as a nice guy.

    Hope he finds himself a club in England. Think it was a mistake moving back to play in the Irish League last year, both financially and in terms of prolonging what's left of his career (particularly for the international side).

  2. He lived/lived with the boyfriend of one of the girls who works in our shop, she says he's hilarious but much quieter in real life. She also says he's asked for photos and autographs when he's out and he always signs his real name and they go; "who the hell is that" :lol:

    He's writing a show for BBC NI atm too :rover:

    Ah, excellent, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. I can imagine the banter (abuse!?!) he gets when he's out.

    The psychiatrist skit in the last one had me in stitches. That office seems strangely similar to the uni halls :D

  3. John Curtis, playing at right back for Gold Coast United in the A League, scored a left foot screamer from the edge of the box on Weds night.

    I remember e-mailing John Curtis many years ago when he was with us. Told him he was brilliant and I couldn't understand how Gary Neville was ahead of him for England. Seemed like a very amicable chap from his reply, but his sarcasm detector must be buggered.

    To me this just proves what a masterstroke it was getting rid at the time we did, I am just hoping WHU dont take us to court for Robbery

    David Sullivan - "It's just don't eat ice cream, don't eat cakes." :lol:

    That is funny, but Sullivan really is an interfering old ring-piece. Everything he thinks, he tells a journalist. Tomorrow's Sullivan exclusive - "I feel thirsty. Might have a glass of water."

  5. Anyone ever seen a film called 'Tokyo Gore Police'?

    It's just wrong on so many levels. I think they must have used their whole budget waterproofing their camera equipment for the authentic blood which features so prominently.

    Worth a watch if you feel like a bit of a laugh, in a sick sort of way.

  6. A real shame that Benni couldn't get himself to a suitable level of fitness for the tournament for himself as has been mentioned, but also for the South African team. I think they missed a player of his style (when fit and motivated) to give that creative spark and goal threat in the final third of the pitch. I think he would have complimented Katlego Mphela very well up front, playing just off him. Mphela looked too isolated for most of the tournament. He must have felt like a prize idiot watching that tournament from home knowing what could have been.
