I agree I can see Bayliss in that role as MR's back-up option. He'd play it differently to Bright but he could still be effective. He can carry the ball forward himself but can also play a good through ball. I think Allen was brought in as a Bayliss replacement because he was either going to...

And Boris does everyone up like a kipper again. The thing with Boris is you're never quite sure why this came about. Is it a deliberate ploy by Boris and his team to keep the news cycle going? Was it done by the supposed editor to discredit Boris and show he doesn't research or understand what...

Nuclear weapons don't kill people, people kill people! *technically it's bullets that kill people, not the guns (unless you beat someone to death with it)

The green fairy has been subject to very stringent regulations for a long time and was banned in a number of places.

How many people take pure crack or heroin? Hardly any. Many other drugs have progressed the arts and cultures as well. Many famous artworks, literature, songs have been conceived when the creator was high, from stuff like mushrooms through LSD to ecstacy and cocaine. Why are those demonised? I...

It was something I was told by a hospital lab worker. They said it would burn probably through your oesophagus, but if it didn't it would either cause horrific swelling or internal bleeding and you'd choke to death. Maybe they were being a bit melodramatic with the 'drop' but it's kept in very...

Although bad taste, I thought the "Van Persie - if a girl says no, molest her" to Rewind by Craig David was quite witty in its way. I think "There's Only Two Andy Goram's" remains my favourite

I think I may have mentioned this before, but a client from a few years ago when he had children asked us to set up a trust fund for them from birth. An infant literally just been born was richer than everyone in my team put together. And the client himself had a £1m house built for him in the...

Alcohol is actually as a poison. A drop of pure alcohol would kill you if ingested. We only drink it in very diluted doses, and even then if manages to have health implications both short and long term. You know the feeling of being drunk? That's the poison taking effect on your system. The...

I agree with you that 'socialism' isn't the answer and a race to the bottom, but a meritocracy is potentially possible. All it takes is a change to how inheritance works. (Almost) everyone wants to provide for their family and give them help after they've gone, but that doesn't mean they have...

But you've shown yourself. You have to put huge amount of hours in, have very little holiday and even then it might go tits up. That doesn't happen for the privileged. They're enjoying regular breaks and finishing as and when they want. Their 'work' involves champagne lunches and receptions...

Given there are far more kids on council estates it would actually be far more from council estates would make it rich.

When my nan thought you were talking too much "Give your arse a chance"

Telling him it and him taking it on board are two very different things though. Until it's actually taken away from him maybe he just won't take it seriously.

Can he be called Tom Thomas just to totally blow his mind to pieces. If not Terry Thomas might be another confusing one for him (though he'd probably end up calling him Thomas Terry).

It's quite nice to have some of those old terms like inside left being used again, even though it was a term when five forwards we playing against two defenders usually. Remember when we used to have the 'Beckenbauer' position - what I guess you'd now call a ball playing centre back. And when...

Why did I write O2? I meant Wembley.

We do seem to have a far more flexible midfield/wingers that should mean we could play 4-4-2,4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. I think we're maybe a goalscorer away from being totally effective for 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1 but not far off. At the moment, I'd go: 4-2-3-1 ------------Kelly-----Allen...

Some of the rules have changed over the years, like transfers, increasing/decreasing values over the season etc so some of the things I'd do probably aren't as helpful anymore. You probably already do some of these and seem self-evident,but as a general rule: Pick players who've had a few years...

For me Addai's biggest problem is his concentration. It might be that he's just got that languid/relaxed persona that can rile fans up a bit as it comes across as a lack of effort, but from what I've seen in the U23's I can't see him being our 1st team keeper. He's very young for a keeper but he...
