It's a common complaint. He's a panster by nature (i.e.writes without planning ahead) and often reaches a point where he has to find an ending that fits what he's written. The writers that pre-plan often have stronger endings, but there is far less 'life' to the books, because the writer forces...

The book was excellent, like most of Stephen King's work, but the majority of adaptations are, quite frankly, gash. Be interested to see if this bucks the trend.

Going through the list again, I'd say Black Books should be higher. Had me roaring at times, probably because I can see a bit too much of me in Bernard Black.

IIRC Blackburn offered us twice what we paid for him within a few weeks of him signing but we declined. Was always a boo-boy's favourite, but he worked damn hard for the team. I know it's not all about effort, but many successful players become so just because they have the deive to overcome a...

Count Arthur Strong the radio series is brilliant. Up there with the very best, and believe me I've listened to tens of thousands of hours or radio comedy. The TV series, however, was dog dirt. They changed the character, reducing almost everything that made it genius to nothing. It does not...

I get that people are peed off with the result and the way the season has started, but it really is much, much too early to draw any firm conclusions about what the season may hold. My only real gripe so far is the formation, but maybe that's the Mike Basset in me.

We've been beaten by a side that just came down from the PL and we have half a team due to injuries and recruitment issues. If we'd lost 6-1 to Bury or someone I'd be worried. Right now I'm merely miffed.

We made the same mistake last year. That turned out well.

It seems to me that we have a boardroom of people who are out of their depth, but don't have the character to admit it. Anderson appears to be behind the game at all turns and Fisher is just bluff and bluster. I don't believe anything positive will happen while those two are on board. We have...

Well. That was unexpected.

Perhaps we're developing relationships as well as players. Or perhaps we're being paid to take him?

You know what, we put too much time and effort into SISU. Yes, of course I understand why. And yes, I agree the club would be better off without them. But the days of fan-power ousting a board / owner are gone. There's too much money at stake for them, even at our level. We are where we are, and...

It's football. People will get injuries. Sometimes it's bad luck, sometimes players have certain weaknesses, sometimes clubs push people who aren't fit just a bit too hard. Every club has it. It's not like we're special.

Blimey. Slight over-reaction, fellas. We were all worried about the back line (4 of the back 5 that finished the game were home-grown, by the way) but they're doing okay. And yes, up top we're clearly short of quality, but it's still early days. It's a new formation with a lot of new players. It...

Monkey World is fabulous. Although when my nipper was a babe-in-arms, a monkey chased my wife across the walkways to try and grab her (so we thought). And a big bastard monkey challenged me to a fight in front of about 20 people, jabbing its finger in my face and shaking a fist at me. A bit like...

Well the gate receipts will come in handy. What's it worth? Got to be at least a wheelbarrow full of turnips and a crate of Colman's mustard. Edit: forgot about the cage of Bernard Matthews 'bootiful turkeys.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

We could adapt David Speedie's 'Speedo, Speedo' chant to fit?

Sammi Hypia coming out of retirement?
