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...

Quite possibly - a tree a few hundred years old will store a lot of carbon. However, the release of that carbon I'd have thought would also be released more slowly as the wood rots down - the tree will last a lot longer than a cabbage rotting for instance. It's also eaten by insects and thus...

Now there's a Morrisey album! It's just got me asking so many questions now. Would coleslaw be mass murder/serial killing given it would have a large number of individual victims? Is a combine harvester a WMD?

The problem with Clarke wasn't that he was rubbish, just not as good as he was hyped up to be when he was coming through, especially at a time when we'd produced a few half-decent full backs and he was supposedly the best of the lot. We've had worse. Willis looked shit for quite a while (albeit...

What I don't understand is that if we're sending him on trial with a view to a permanent transfer and the thing with MR is true, why did we bother activating his year extension? Why not just release him? I've also assumed that Bilson from last years U18 was given a contract as he's been moved...

Not unless we've got more add-ons in terms of appearances/goals for Bournemouth, but unlikely to be anything like the amounts we could get if he's sold.

It's far too early to judge but Jobello has looked good in terms of crossing in the highlights thus far and can see him getting the LW position. I think MR will be spending a lot of pre-season trying out Hiwula, Baka, Chaplin and Max up front to see who feeds the best off the wide men and the...

Are they your solicitors?

Did it for years but stopped a couple of years ago because it became like Football Manager - an addiction that was taking up far too much time. Every season I'd get knackered by an injury to someone but when they changed it to allowing transfers anytime rather than in specific windows (which...
