He's slow and inefficient but he hasn't escalated it to a form of real world artistry like that lot have.

We've got some brass neck, haven't we? 15m Euros with a straight face knowing that both us and them have seen him play. It's the negotiating style of street vendors in Marrakech. "You'd like this tin camel, yes? That will be £85 please sir".

A little late to the party - I've been keeping my head down after exposing this particularly sinister hex. I certainly don't want to be come a shadow of the player that I am. But did you all notice the curse manifest? Did you notice it working its wicked ways with our very own Italian...

Goodness me - is that tinnitus or is it the spectral whining of a lost established curse. Given the relative comfort of our league position, the nights drawing in, and the need for a distraction from the ever-ripening spot in the center of my back (I plan to get at it with a slotted spoon some...

To think that only a few weeks back we were an injury away from this as a starting center back pairing. Genuinely worrying.

Worked like a charm today.

The only thing Souness knows is how to get moisty eyed at the mere mention of 'European nights at Anfield'. Wants consigning to the tar pits of irrelevance along with the rest of those old Shankley led dinosaurs.

'Improving fan safety and matchday experience' is a mealy mouthed turd of an excuse. Call it what it is : exerting control. I hope that this ruling will have an impact on the staff wanging out tickets to whom they please. But beyond that I couldn't give a toss. I'm more annoyed at the...

It's okay to miss him. It's okay to miss bright, white trainers and a grey buzz cut. It's okay to miss him slowly mentally unravelling in front of the press and choking James MacArthur. I do. We all do.

The last 2 seasons have seen Harvey Barnes assume the squad number 7 for Leicester City. Whilst there has been some success - last season's 6 goals and 10 assists marking a particular highlight for Harvey's Premier League career - we have also seen capricious performances and long periods of...

The behaviour of Premier League footballers is beyond reproach. Millionaires who have been told that they are outstanding from the age of 5 very rarely have poor impulse control or decision making.

I've always liked SEAT's naming of cars after Spanish cities. I'm looking forward to the SEAT Escarabajosa de Cabezas.

Busta Bloodvessel wouldn't put up with this racket.

Nabukov - Pale Fire. A tour-de-force of format and narrative meeting. So good it is considered, by some, as a great work of American literature in spite of being written by a Russian. Harper Lee - Go Set A Watchman. Midway though this.

At the minute there are precious few clubs that would be a good move for him. A couple of the 'biggies' - Liverpool, Madrid, Barca would probably hold lure. Beyond that we're the best place for him to be, I'd have though. Not scared of dishing out generous contracts, top of the Best League in...

He's got a mask; he's just wearing it like a scarf. I'm glad he's such a boob - this is just about the best time to play a difficult Liverpool team.

Too right. The service is absolutely terrible.

With his silly, wispy beard; his silly, excessive tattos; and his ugly, expensive bag he's a player that I really ought to mega-loath. But he isn't. He seems likable in spite of all that which is remarkable.

Sriracha Mayonaisse and devil may care what the naysayers say.

I've had some chicken strippers instead of a nap.

You've lost control here, old boy. I've given a decent reasoned explanation and you've resorted to insults and insanity. The premise holds up. It was a cataclysmic failure (that slip is iconic, it's still sung about today. It put paid to genuine title hopes) and it resulted in what is...

14. Forgot the King. Guessed Danny N'Guessan in a fit of panic.

You're dead right in that respect. However, in the context of this hypothetical interview, I would be aiming to illicit some response that generated an interesting reply. Asking him about his relative successes at Liverpool set against his plain success in Celtic wouldn't exactly generate a...

The very same said by a Portsmouth fan I know this week. Le Tissier could've been a great for England. Xavi reckons he used to watch Le Tiss and loved him - high credit indeed. It was the same with Waddle, and to a lesser extent Gascoigne, we failed to use these talents in a way that really...

The phrase 'never made a first-team appearance' from that article gives a little hint. I had to check twice and it's not the first time Barmby has been bought up in my sphere this week.

I get not wanting to be sucked into the trap of living with the disaster as a defining point. With that in mind : the statue is a good idea. Better if we could incorporate existing elements of the title victory into it.

Maybe my hypothetical question should be rephrased "Why did you spend near 3 years in a league dominating trophies that, on reflection, look well beneath your skillset? Was it to make up for, what Popillus considers hyperbolic horse shit, your dramatic failure at Liverpool?"

It was a failure that, at it's conclusion, was fairly dramatic. I mean Gerrard's slip to allow Ba through to score was the height of drama and I feel like the failure to win the title was very much that : a failure.. Are you reading hyperbolic horse shit into my question? Or did you just fancy...

Sad that the best Oxford could muster is that milquetoast MC. Get someone who knows about the pitfalls of his career and ask the difficult questions. Wouldn't it have been good to hear his response to the question "Why did you spend near 3 years in a league dominating trophies that, on...

This happened in December. Whilst abhorrent, and obviously very sad, don't conflate this with the current situation and assume that this is a result of anything other than regular, old-fashioned dickbaggery.

Not a chance - kitchens are way too small for driving and our local ballot station is miles away from the hob.

Leaves more spare cash for jellied eels.

This seems to represent great business. Whilst there is always a chance a player won't settle, I get the feeling that Silva is going to be an excellent acquisition.

Amartey has put in an excellent performance today.

I don't understand why Mahrez is back on penalty duty. Vardy is a much more impressive penalty taker imho.

A goal soon and they'll capitulate, I reckon.

Fixed that for you.

Sadly inevitable.

Vardy and Mahrez both to score and a programme vendor knocking back Wenger's offer is £1.50.
