What’s your opinion on Hamas Arry Redknapp ?
“Yeh I was in for him but then once the big clubs knew about him I got blown out of the water”

Yea , he’s done Triffic at Everton , even my dog couldn’t afford him these days , ye know.

I see Sky are trailing yet another new documentary/90-minute propaganda hagiography about the odd lot called ‘The u****** way. Somehow doubt it will include footage of their many historical sugar daddies bankrolling the club, evicting the Munich widows, poisoning the schoolchildren of Manchester for profit or peeping under the doors of ladies’ conveniences.

It is some trick they have managed to perform all these years, you have to give them that, the Teflon club, nothing fucking sticks

I'm sure they'll mention them being gifted O.T. without paying a penny towards its construction, James Gibson handing out brown envelopes to ensure that the rubble clearance and rebuilding after WW2 was paid out of public funds at a time when the austerity ridden UK was virtually bankrupt or the freebie cantilever stand they were gifted for the 1966 World Cup.

A free stadium? You wouldn’t catch us doing that.

War damage commission funded circa£20k for OT rebuild. Heavy pressure from J Gibson. Club in debt at time. Never been able find chapter and verse on 1966 funding if anyone can oblige

It's part of the BBC remit that they have to be fair to both sides. Oh wait, that's politics.

On Saturday mornings BBC Breakfast has a viewer's complaints and comments piece for about 10 minutes.l forget exactly what it is was about but last week it was about the Scottish elections and in both the complaints were about the BBC showing bias in their reports.
I always laugh first at the complainant and shout at them 'you should see the bias in their football coverage' and then at the BBC response which always insists they are completely impartial and blames things are out of context etc.
The presenter of the piece always has a little smile which suggests she thinks the response is a load of old bollocks.

Bang on and shows that it is absolutely pointless complaining about the bbc. I have never seen them hold their hands up and say sorry we were wrong.

BBC apologies

Wonder if they'll mention Slur Alex speeding down the hard shoulder claiming he was desperate for a sh*t?

Two questions the prosecution failed to ask in court:
1. If you had a stomach problem why didn't you see a doctor or make an.appointment until the police had caught you on the side of the motorway.?
2. If the photographer in his Ford Fiesta was keeping up with your Ferrari taking photographs, why.is this vehicle not shown speeding on the speed camera that caught you or any others on this stretch of the A34?.
Pair of liars.

Distinction without a difference.

The Queen owns a number of racehorses and has done for decades. Are they state owned?

No just the Household Cavaltry and the Gold State Coach.l suppose.;)

There's a fine line here. The FA take no action on national flags being branded because a national flag on its own isn't political. Pep's ribbon is a political statement not a national flag.....if Catalunya gets independence then I'm sure Pep will be allowed to wave the flag all he likes (until the fuckers change the rules)

National flags waved by those nationals could be regarded as a source of national pride; waved by Tom, Dick 'n 'Arry who aren't from that nation turn it into a political statement. The FA will make it up as they go along, just as PiGMOL do with the LotG.
