Just finished Ford Maddox Ford's tetralogy Parade's End. Much better than the TV series that is currently showing on a Friday night, though I have been enjoying that too.

The modern day footballer usually drives around in a Baby Bentley or some sort of Chelsea Tractor but that looks like a small bubblecar. Can't be paying them to well at Upton Park.

Wouldn't surprise me. We're that shit at the moment.

I'm inclined to agree with you Otta. He's been unlucky with injuries and with the choices Alex Ferguson had up front it was at the best of times tough for him to get any minutes on the pitch. I think he'll get more games at Stoke and if he gets the service he'll score goals, no doubt about it. He could benefit by playing with Crouch up front and feeding off him. Just hope he stays fit.

Kelvin MacKenzie is a loathsome piece of vermin. I hope there will be closure for all those who lost friends and family. Justice for the 96. Don't buy The Sun.

Fucking cunt.

I thought it was a very good England performance. Normally, I find watching England so frustrating but we set our stall out early, passed the ball around well and scored five goals. I know it was only Moldova but games like this have proved to be banana skins in the past. Good performances from the likes of Lampard, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Cleverley but the player who impressed me most was James Milner. I thought he was immense last night. Worked his socks off and got the goal his performance deserved.

Yeah! Cracking game that. His finest moment in a Spurs shirt. Done just about feck-all since and we still can't get him off our books.

Good grief! Floyd snobs.

Not sure about that Otta but at nearly 38 his best days are far behind him. Could have been a good short term deal to help pass on his experience to the younger players but other than that maybe he's just looking for a last good payday before retirement. Class player though when he was in his prime.

Err.... you watch it.

Hmmmm...Paris St Germain and Man City are probably the only two clubs (bar maybe Russian or Chinese) that could afford him. Why leave Real Madrid though? Maybe Mourinho doesn't polish his ego enough as he's too busy shining his own.

No. The window's shut until January. He's been throwing his toys out of his pram and spitting out his dummy again. Sulking because he wants a pay rise because he feels he's played really well and scored lots of goals since he arrived from Man Utd. That's what they bought and paid you to do. It must be really tough on 300k a week.

Rodgers is already on record as saying he would never have let Andy Carroll go if he'd known they couldn't sign a replacement. He thought Dempsey was a done deal but Spurs nipped in with a better off for Fulham that was accepted. From The Sporting Life website: - It has left Liverpool chronically short of strikers. Rodgers did not have an orthodox forward on the bench for Sunday afternoon's 2-0 home defeat by Arsenal and is now left to consider moves for the likes of Michael Owen, who is out of contract, and Didier Drogba, whose contract situation at Shanghai Shenhua could allow him to sign for another club. "No," said Rodgers when asked whether he would have let Carroll leave, then "very" when quizzed about how confident he was of getting in a replacement. And for the likes of Owen and Drogba? "I can't say no. Any player I believe can improve the squad, I will look at," he said. "We have a very small group. We had 19 training (on Friday). It is something that would have to be discussed." Sunday's result condemned Liverpool to their worst start to a season since 1962-63.

Arf! Harry on MOTD last night said about Spurs "definitely top four." I think by saying that he's put early pressure on AVB to improve on his own record. Because if we finish below fifth guess who's going to have a very smug, self-satisfied smirk on his face. Anyway, only three games in and people are panicking already at Liverpool and Spurs. A new manager, new players and a new broom, these things take time to gel.

Thudd was only on the pitch eight minutes and off he goes. Dear oh dear. Another bad day at the office.

Bloody Tottenham Hotspur! Conceding a goal in the last five minutes AGAIN! Bloody typical. Should have bought a forward in the window as well. Grrr!

Put me down as a don't know.

Don't you just love transfer deadline day? Plenty of business being done. Sad to see Rafa go back to Hamburg but as good as he was he did lack pace. My favourite memory of him was scoring against Le Arse and blowing kisses to their fans followed by nutmegging Jack Wiltshire not once but twice. Good to see Berbatov get a move to Fulham. If he gets plenty of time on the pitch he'll score goals. As for Michael Owen, I think he's just happy to warm his well paid arse on a bench these days. Sad because I'm sure if he's fit he could do a good job for someone.

The Girl Lodger A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire. "Monday's the best night, when my husband goes out to darts," she said. The girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday. After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair. She mentioned this to her husband when he came home. He didn't believe her, so she said: "Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I'll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself." So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked: "Do you shave?" "No," replied the girl. "I've just never grown any hair down there. Do you have hair?" "Oh, yes," said the woman, and she pulled up her nightdress and showed the girl that she was really generously endowed in the hair department.....very generously indeed. The girl finished her bath and went to bed. Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him, "Did you see it?" "Yes," he said, "but why the hell did you have to show her yours." "Why ever are you worried about that?" she said. "You've seen it often enough before." "I know," he said, "but the darts team hadn't!"

Dembele to Spurs. I'll have some of that. Top player.
