I kind of know how you feel with that one, mate. Under my previous employer I built up the role so successfully that my boss could no longer ignore me (she readily rewarded all the other people in the team - I was the only male) and agreed to make it a higher pay grade. She re-used a job...

Are you aware of how many young people commit suicide each year as a result of their repressed gender identity and sexuality issues/dilemmas? With that in mind, I'd wager that helping people through this at a young age - and help starts with accepting what these children are going through -...

http://paulmerson.com/ According to his website, "Paul is rapidly becoming one of the most sought after speakers on the after dinner circuit." Imagine paying for him to ruin your dinner.

I do get your point and I think in the case of an MNC I would agree; but for a football club I think it's different. I think he needs to be more visible because he is accountable, whether he likes it or not. He is making decisions that affect not just the direction and day-to-day running of the...

There's no doubt that Soriano has done a great job at turning our finances around and making us profitable (although, there's nothing to say that Cook couldn't have done that, too). However, I don't think I've ever felt more disconnected from the club. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I...

Voted for my first ever shirt - 1986 away

Well, he didn't say "Otamendi is known for going down for penalties", he said he was "known for going down easily". And, come on, he is! Aside from the infamous one at Everton, he also embarrassed himself in the League Cup game at Utd, and there was that time in the Champions League last year (I...

Great article and also a nice story from BlueMooney. I have very fond memories of Wiekens. As a kid I used to follow Dutch football a lot (usually via teletext and the odd footy magazine) and had seen his name mentioned a few times; when he signed for us I wondered if I was the only blue who had...

I find him to be one of the better co-commentators. He knows his stuff, he articulates it well and doesn't get all hyperbolic and reactionary like most of the others do. He always seems pretty fair, too; I don't think you'd know which clubs he had played for if you'd only ever listened to his...

Actually, I want to retract 'interests' from my list of things that are fair game - no-one can help what they like or are into! I loathe it when people take the piss out of other people's hobbies and interests (something which Milo has often done in his writing).

His whole approach is underpinned by a celebration of ‘free speech’, which the Alt-Right seems to think is carte blanche to say hurtful and damaging things to other people. They forget two key points: firstly, that whilst free speech is an important and wonderful thing, it also comes with...

I remember buying the first one because it was a great RPG from the makers of KOTOR, Jade Empire, Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate. It had both great story and great combat, in which skill choices and XP points made a difference. It's a shame that the combat has become so sterile throughout...

2010/11 holds good memories. Bobby was starting to put his team together and you could see that a top side was really taking shape. Ended the season with our first trophy in my lifetime and Champions League qualification, too. I think that it was the season where we as fans felt most connected...

I'm kind of getting a bit sick now of this media circus surround his sacking. I know he by no means represents the anti-sacking position, but hearing Paul Merson blabber on incoherently about how much of a 'disgrace' the sacking was just summed it all up for me; pundits and the media commenting...

Not in on this gossip - what has she been doing?

Wash your mouth out! Hitchens had charm, wit and was frighteningly intelligent. He was a brilliant writer and an even better polemicist. Milo has none of those qualities; he just has a plum voice which Americans always seem to fall for. We often hear him described as a provocateur, but he...

In a game at home to Southampton, I think it was in 2004 and we lost 3-1, James Beattie scored a bullet header from a beautiful Pahars cross. It was one of the best counter-attacks I'd ever seen; we fluffed a corner (what's changed?!), they played one pass out of the box to the wing, one cross...

Don't think you're missing much, to be honest. I used to love this feature; it really gave you a feel for how things went on behind the scenes, and offered a nice insight into the players and their personalities, how they interacted with each other and other staff, how they were with fans, etc...

The likes of Katie Hopkins, Piers Morgan and their ilk go without saying. The rest include: Jamie Oliver - for the stupid names he gives to his kids Jeremy Kyle - a mild psychopath, makes money out of exploiting the uneducated and disadvantaged Simon Cowell - makes money out of exploiting...

"None of the team on the BBC Sport website were aware of “Bertie” as being a derogatory term to describe City fans". Which of course begs the question: why did they pick Bertie when they could have picked any name, or indeed no name at all? If you know that Bertie is a nickname for City fans...
