    Murray

    Still, great that the BBC splashed the cash on Grand Prix rather than spending it on football, or cricket, or anything like that, eh? Made themselves look a right bunch of (Grand) Prix.

    Murray

    Back to the thread for a moment? All sports should have a defining moment. With football, you cna walk away, arguing about the penalty, goal, offside decision, or whatever, that turned the game. There is usually a defining moment to that sport. Rugby probably also has it, and golf...

    Johnny Vegas

    Gotta love 'Blackball' though. Even though Johnny Vegas is in it.

    Johnny Vegas

    He once appeared on 'Win, Lose Or Draw' with famous Leyton Orient fan (as famous as they get) Bob Mills. Sad thing was, Johnny was the member of the public. The celebrities of that episode included Yvette Fielding, Cheryl Baker, and Kriss Aka(fecking)busi. In such witty company, Vegas...

    The Talking Balls Book Club

    By the way, for football fans, read the first half of 'Tackling My Demons' by Stan Collymore. It's very honest stuff, and had me gripped. Then when you get half way through, you start to tire of his self-pity and begin to lose sympathy for him.

    The Talking Balls Book Club

    Elton's stuff is fantastic, though lately he has lost a bit of the quality. 1st Casualty was good, nothing more. I was also disappointed by his latest, 'Blind Faith,' but at the time I read it, 'Dead Famous' was superb, and 'High Society' is probably the best modern novel I've read. I...

    Thanks Bocadillo. I was just about to send you a very unpleasant message, till I saw your apology above!

    If not Ronaldo...

    Surprised neither Vidic or Ferdinand got nominated. But Torres has been superb, first season, new team, etc.

    Cardiff post match thread

    And don't forget, Hendrie provided the highlight of the game (barring Purse's wally volley) by allowing a Bluebird fan to shout 'Hurry up you pixie-faced w*nker' at him as he wasted time with a throw-in! Raised a giggle or two!

    Cardiff post match thread

    Dear Mr Moderator. A little biography on The Secretary for you. Liverpool fan since 1985, born in Romford, descended from Plymouthian stock, so a fervent Olly fan, raised in Bristol, and just unfortunate enough to have been given the job of living here in Wales-land and teaching all these...

    Cardiff post match thread

    Shocking match. The second half was virtually just long ball drop-kick tennis between the goalkeepers. Campbell lively, but no other player on the pitch really looked like breaking the deadlock, other than Purse's moment of muppetry.

    Brooking.....

    Surely Pleat does it on purpose? You can't be that wrong that often without your tongue being firmly in cheek ... Can you? (e.g. Steve McMeneman)

    Holloway out or How much longer would you give Holloway as Manager?

    Re: Holloway out Who on earth wants to get rid of Ollie? Consider the evidence (I'm not a Fox so I think I think objectively ...) Ollie made a success out of Plymouth Argyle (if you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, that was still a pretty good impression of one!) Argyle gave...

    Ian Holloway.......right or wrong part 2

    Leicester fans, from a part time Plymouthian, make sure you stick by your manager. The guy is class. If you saw him talking on Jeff Stelling's show at the weekend, you'll have seen how determined he is to take you forward. You've questioned managers in the past and it hasn't got you anywhere...

    It's Holloway...

    Totally agree with PAFC14. Ollie is the best manager Plymouth have seen in a long time, including Sturrock, who did well there, and Warnock (!) If it's no smokescreen, Leicester have done well, although perhaps it would be an admission by MM of limited ambition, because you don't associate...

    It's (sad but) true. He was!

    Ryan Sidebottom

    Harmy's poor, but still more of a threat than Sajid WasteOfSpace. England's pace attack at present is either injured, out of form, or never had any form in the first place. James Anderson has had enough chances, as has Mahmood, and Plunkett is adequate but nothing more. Somebody offer...
