Oh! do stop please, you're me making hungry.

I hope so. Most of the games look good for entertainment value. The Arse and Man Ure are scoring for fun at the moment and not letting much in and as you say yourself Newcastle v Liverpool is generally a high scoring game and West Ham v Spurs could be similar as both defences are bit suspect but I think we have that little bit extra firepower up front. Roll on MOTD at the weekend as I'll probably be watching England V Croatia from behind the sofa.

Hey! What'd I do? Doh!

Dear ratty, might I suggest you invest in a dishwasher. And, well, let's face it the choice is yours. If Sunday pub lunches extended till about seven in the evening I'd probably go myself on the odd occasion.

Charge as much you as you bloody well like you won't get me drinking that bloody lager piss.

So McLaren and the England team got lucky with the results at the weekend. But I can still see us screwing it all up by losing on Wednesday night. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory so to speak. Am I being a tad pessimistic here? England 1 Croatia 2

Ye Gods! Is nothing sacRED.

FFS! I don't understand why people want to eat a roast dinner in a pub on a Sunday. The food is usually finished by three or four o'clock and the standard isn't that great and everywhere is packed. Personally I never fancy eating a roast until about five anyway and it's long gone by then. If you're going to be so picky about what you and your kids want to eat on a Sunday, cook the damned thing yourself. It's not that difficult.

I doubt it and I sincerely hope not. What's wrong with the England management set-up is that it's the wrong way round. Venables should be in charge with McLaren underneath him. As for Steve Bruce, well he's obviously surplus to requirements at Birmingham once this takeover goes through so he might as well go somewhere where he's wanted.

Prince Charles is visiting an Edinburgh hospital. He enters a ward full of patients with no obvious sign of injury or illness and greets one. The patient replies: "Fair fa your honest sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin race, Aboon them a ye take yer place, Painch, tripe or thairm, As langs my airm." Charles is confused, so he just grins and moves on to the next patient. The patient responds: "Some hae meat an canna eat, And some wad eat that want it, But we hae meat an we can eat, So let the Lord be thankit." Even more confused, and his grin now rictus-like, the Prince moves on to the next patient, who immediately begins to chant: "Wee sleekit, cowerin, timrous beasty, O the panic in thy breasty, Thou needna start awa sae hastie, Wi bickering brattle." Now seriously troubled, Charles turns to the accompanying doctor and asks "Is this a psychiatric ward?" "No," replies the doctor, "this is the serious Burns unit."

I'm loving that Bike Sex Man story Mockers. I was having a bit of a miserable morning until I read that. "A bit of a misunderstanding after he'd had too much to drink." Hilarious.

That's good advice. It's exactly what I did when I was a young lad wanting to be a footballer.

Hmmm...well there is a certain element of that no doubt about it but I also think that some teams have too many foreign players in their side and perhaps there should be a cap of some sort as to how many foreign players you can field in your side in a match. This has been discussed in Italy as well for quite some time now and FIFA have been looking into it too. Then again there are certain laws of employment and movement in the European Union to take into account as well and such a thing is illegal. Having said that I think you pointed out very well in an earlier post that if you can't learn from the example that is set by great players like Bergkamp and Zola etc, not just about skills but diet and how to conduct yourself on and off the pitch as well then there isn't much hope for us is there. There are too many British players like Anton "you staring at my watch mate" Ferdinand who looked a good prospect when he started out but as soon as he starts earning a few bob and starts hanging around crappy nightclubs and acting flash with a 60 grand watch on his arm and driving around in a Baby Bentley think they've made it.

Good man. No wonder you're proud of him. He sounds like a fine player in the making. The importance of playing with both feet cannot be understated. When I was a lad I'd practice with my other foot constantly to get it as good as the other one. Sometimes going through whole training sessions just to familarise the left foot with the ball to get it to be able to do the things that came naturally with my right.

Maybe they were inspired by the Best Place To Pull in East Dulwich thread that was on here a while back.
