Me and my avatar like the way this comes around every now and then. Never put a foot wrong for us did Jarni, one of my favourite ever players. :)

Hey SW, I've literally just bought the 43" version of this on Amazon for £299, though now I can only find it for £310, sorry... I don't really know a great deal about TVs, and this is last year's model, but I can connect it to my hub via an RJ45 lead and get stuff like Netflix, Youtube and...

Thus bringing me up to a mighty 52w. Almost enough to light a small cupboard, except in the far corners of course. :)

I hate those skinny buggers that can just fly up hills. On the upside it's much easier for car drivers to see me when I'm climbing, what with my wider profile and bright-red glowing face. I just wish those ambulances would stop following me around. It makes me nervous... :)

An absolutely fair point mate, but trust me, I need to waste energy. It's that or cut about 4,000 calories a day. :)

Funnily enough, I'm contemplating taking the SPD-SL pedals off my road bike, and going back to old fashioned normal pedals. My reasoning is that I don't really like being clipped in, partly for safety, but also for comfort. Also, really I'm riding to get fit rather than to get fast. More than...

So basically you're saying the mis-reporting of this is stupid, rather than malicious? Does that make it any better? Funnily enough, the "don't have an anurysm" type of response is in itself a kind of empty frothing. It adds nothing to the debate, but hey, if it makes you feel like you've won...

But the point here is that these are SISU's accounts, and not the club's. It's been spun as being an outrage that SISU made a juicy profit out of the club, but as OSB has flagged that's not necessarily an accurate interpretation. So this is either very lazy journalism, or someone who is...

I've not googled it, but in my memory I've actually got him as a lawyer rather than a P.I.? Same actor was also in a personal favourite film, Vanishing Point. <Insert own football-related gag here> :)

Much as I despise Tommy Robinson, I'm sure he's not having a great time in there. He's broken the law and he's paying the price, that's all that I ask. I don't need him to be beaten, raped or terrified, but that seems to be the kind of prison that you'd want, at least for the people that you...

The guards don't generally commit suicide, Nick, understandably they just leave. It's typically the weaker, bullied prisoners that kill themselves. So what do you think happens when people like us outside are so quick to encourage rape and violence inside jails? Who draws the line at...

Nick mate, what's been in the news to say it is? When you've got HM Inspector of Prisons (a branch of the Government, not a lefty think-tank!), saying this... "The year 2017–18 was a dramatic period in which HM Inspectorate of Prisons documented some of the most disturbing prison conditions we...

Three reasons why we have prisons: 1) Punish the guilty by removing their liberty. 2) Protect society from those who offend. 3) Rehabilitate. If you think about it, 2 and 3 are actually quite closely linked. If people are coming out of prison worse than they go in, brutalised, more violent...

I'll tell you what pisses me off about this kind of bullshit. It's the implication that to be strong on law and order, or patriotic, you need to be on the far right and believe that prison should be caves filled with spiky dildos, lava and giant spiders. It's laughable. You've only got to...

There are some people on here with far too much time on their hands. :)

If the FL don't immediately skip us up two divisions on the back of this, Joy will have them in court by Monday! :)

When it comes to SISU/ACL/CCC etc. I don't think it's possible to be "unnecessarily cynical"! :)

That's an entirely fair comment mate, but then like I say clubs also treat players like meat when it suits them to do so. Remember the stories about Huckerby being in tears when he was sold against his will? It's a remarkably cruel profession, I find it hard to blame players for doing the best...

Or he could have broken his leg or snapped an ACL in pre-season, or simply lost form. If he's that good, and like all pros he'll believe in himself, then he'll get noticed at Reading (e.g. Maddison). It may not suit us as fans, but I don't think you can say that it doesn't suit the player. I...

Exactly this. It's a short, risky career, and as soon as a player isn't performing the fans and club are desperate to get him off the books by any means possible. Who could blame anyone for taking a substantial increase elsewhere if it was on offer, I know that I would! MM has done very well...
