Indeed, but usually they are expressed in an articulate manner and should include some kind of persuasive argument or rationale which may bring the reader over to your way of thinking, right?

I believe the football bubble will burst, but while clubs charge, and get paid, exorbitant prices, what's likely to change?

A friend of mine has his own company and he pays just over ?80k a year for a box which he uses mostly to enter prospective and existing clients. Its the way of the world.

Try the Smiths, probably more your sort of scene. "Heaven knows I'm miserable now" would be a good place for you to start.

Jimmy Savilles family are naturally devastated by his death. However, they have been conforted somewhat by the kind offer from Cash4Gold to pay for his cremation.

Oh him!!!!!!!!! The excitable fellow that is incapable of putting more than two words together before stumbling and stuttering over his own tongue. Now I know who you mean. But again no, I didn't hear him on Talksport last night.

FIFA are looking to get back at the English FA for daring to suggest that things are not as they should be within FIFA. How very very dare them.

Music of my mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, and Songs in the Key of life all contain great songs about political and social injustice.

FIFA deserve all the bashing they get. I think the phrase "couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery" was tailor made for this cabal.

I understand are England being told that they can't wear embroidered poppies on their shirts as they have political associations. Is this the same body that allowed a fascist dictator to present the World Cup back in 1978?

Shame about the manner of his death and indeed the world has lost one of the best heavyweights EVER.

Augustus Pablo - Keep on Knocking Give thanks and praises

Music of my Mind, Innervisions, Talking Book, Songs in the key of life and the earlier Where I'm coming from, all top notch .

Say it ain't so - Murray Head

Which tells you all you need to know about his managerial acumen.
