That Darren Anderton fact would make a very good pub quiz question Keef.

It was an internet vote that made Gerrard Man of the Match. Obviously you get young fans of a certain player adding their vote but I certainly didn't agree with the outcome and nor did any of the pundits. He did all right without being spectacular. Joe Cole was man of the match in my opinion followed by Rooney, Bentley and Jenas. You can't really expect to read too much into this game but I thought it was a good start for Fabio Capello, although there is obviously plenty of room for improvement and other players to come back in and he's given plenty of scope for other untried players to force themselves into the picture.

The lady in question, in the summer when people were sitting outside having a fag and drink she and her other half would always look over and give us a filthy look.

I'll certainly agree with you that its more fun to play than watch. The agonies we all go through watching our teams is bloody hard to bare sometimes. Waiting for the inevitable shut out that never comes. Conceding last minute goals in Spurs case and watching England over the years has mostly been an extremely painful experience. The last time I played though was in a friendly kick-about in a park with about 20 other lads in the early 90s and I was so slow and frankly bloody useless that I felt embarrased for myself and vowed never to play again. So, I think rather than risk a heart attack I think the boots - and I still have them sadly gathering dust somewhere at home - have been hung up for good.

I found this quote tapped to a PC when I was freelancing at the Press Association more than ten years ago. I do not know who it is attributable to but it pretty much sums up my feelings towards tabloid journalists. "Journalism is not a profession or a trade. It is a cheap catch-all for fuck-offs and misfits - a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo cage."

Unfortunately I haven't played a competitive game since I was 28 and I'm 50 on Friday week so I think I'd probably need a cardio vascular unit on standby if I was to ever put the boots back on again.

Lucky so and so. I wish I was still playing.

Unfotunately no. Because they always had a problem with the couple across the road who live in the old Church come School, who never wanted the place opened in the first place and made their lives very difficult.

His name isn't Darren Anderton is it Atila?

Well...there's flu and then there's man flu. You ladies will know what I'm talking about. People are dropping like flies in my office...wimps.

*Realises there are people in here suffering* *Slugs drinks down double quick* *Places various bottles of Benylin and Nurse Nurse onto table with a note that says help yourselves and get well soon* *leaves sharpish in fear of catch a similar lurgy*

Hypocondriacs.

*Just passing through when I smelt a liberal mixture. Sheesh! man that smells good. Pours a pint and a shot, sits next to Keef and offers to skin up* *Damn! I've lowered the tone again*

You Better Move On - Arthur Alexander

Well spotted Macroban. I was thinking of the Bonzos ditty though. I believe you're a fan of them too.

It was certainly lively and I thought Ms Bindel came across rather blinkered. She was certainly on the losing end of this debate and well done CWALD I thought you did yourself proud and the lady behind you (Nikki Adams) was excellent too especially for not rising to the shouting match that erupted and being able to continue to put her voice across clearly and calmly.

We are normal and we want our freedom.

Oh *Bob* I could go a lot further but I just can't on here. And you're right if it's not working, it's not working. It simply hasn't been making enough money to survive for a long time.

Absolutely Keef and that was last time I went in there. The silly sod managed to empty his bar in seconds. Not good for business. Berk! Oh and by the way I've always paid my way in there and more. He just seems to have lost the plot. Yes, also Blue is a lovely little doggie. I feel sorry for some of the other staff like Cooper who have tried very hard to make it successful.
