Statement from charity MIND www.mind.org.uk/news/6091_mind_comment_on_the_death_of_gary_speed

I guess we are all guilty of forgetting at times that footballers are humans with real lives outside of the sport. And no amount of money and fame can correct a chemical imbalance in the brain, which is depression. Just very very sad.

Gary Neville ' It's absolutely devastating. My career and his crossed many times, I played against him many times. Everyone that I know that knew him couldn' t say enough good things about him. We think of football as being important, but it' s not really." Spot on.

Just unbelievable! Something huge must have happened in his life. R.I.P.

Just watching the "Thrilla in Manila" for the first time ages. Bloody hell!

You debated football in 6th form? Your school must have been shit.

Oh whatever. Can't be arsed getting in to serious debate about a game. Right on Atticus, you are a worthy fan.

Football now a horrid big money business, and soon enough, the richest teams will be playing in some sort of global super league... Mark my words. And no, that isn't what I want.

Exactly!!! I'm not for a second saying it's a good thing, but it is the way things have gone. Talking about success in the 80s, or even that great Man U youth team, is talking about a different game. Please don't think that pleases me, because it doesn't, but it is the way it is. Hats off to anyone who would tut and complain if their team came in to stupid money... ... I'm more of a whore.

Atticus, I believe you might have your doubts, but after a season or so, I suspect you'd be loving it. Of course, you might be a bigger person than that, but I admit, I wouldn't.

City will be pleased with the United result. Hopefully they'll be up for dropping some points tomorrow now!

Cool, I have my very own annoying bot!

We were worried about T's weight when she was about that age, but doctors always said she would eat what she needed to eat, and not worry. Take her tp the GP, and I'm sure they'll reassure you that she's fine.

My mum has mentioned there was a Woolworths, but not sure where. I'll ask her.

Neither of you seem able to not (publicly) respond though, despite the fact admin has been really clear. I'm not saying I want either of you banned, but bloody hell, stop it.

Do you like your crutch long or short?

I agree that it was car crash reading, but surely you can see why admin had to draw a line under it. The anti semitism thread was just wrong.

I always tried to limit my daughter to 5ml Calpol at a time. Took her to GP last week, and he told me off and insisted she has 10ml. Why, when 5 seemed to be doing the job, and making her feel better?

There are a couple of annoying bots around at the moment.

If you are not trolling, then you are at least a total moron. I suspect you're both.

Pot can be fun, depends how much you drink with it Not a drug for a night out

It's really not. Anyway, I'm off.

Character in folk legend / Thousands and thousands of people being kidnapped from their homes and forced to work as slaves. Come on BBW, you can do better than that!
