    Play-offs

    I feel the same way about parachute payments... but what do you do? The Premier League is such that teams have to pay big wages to try and stay up - but if they don't they cannot get rid of the high-paid players fast enough.

    Play-offs

    Brentford 6/4 to win the play-offs. Bournemouth 7/2. And yet watching this game, I'd say B'mouth are edging it as the most likely to score - in the first half at least.

    Play-offs

    I've been looking at the betting - on this and the playoffs for L1 and L2. Brentford hot favourites again to go up; as they were last year. Swansea are 5/1 outsiders. I think that B'mouth might easily beat Brentford in the first round and that Swansea will beat Barnsley over the two...

    There's no way lmo will go to Brighton. If he comes to England it'll to be one of the big 5 clubs.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The culture war is stoked up just fine already. From my perspective they are retaliating or trying to limit the effects of the postmodernists.

    Are you like this in real life, Tony? I'd love to meet you if you are... it would be a fascinating thing to see.

    OK, have read it now. My first thoughts are: 1. I don't trust the narrative; I'd like to hear the other side of the story. This page is for an activist group calling on people to boycott Leicester University and so I feel they are likely to have told the story in the most biased way...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Just finished Shtisel on Netflix. It's about an extended family of ultra-orthodox Jews living in Israel. Highly recommended.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Very balanced. It's a complex issue and I have no answer after a bottle of booze. I'll probably have no answer in the morning either. Let's see.

    Derrida = sophistry. Haven't read the link - will do tomorrow, spending time with my wife just now. Just wanted to register that I think Derrida wrote absolute bollocks. If he had to write his theories in algebra it would never have got past a bright GCSE student.

    Every second poster has suggested he's joining. The others think he cannot compete in the Championship.

    What are you currently listening to?

    Been listening to the third and fourth Cure albums in the car recently. And the Mekons in the house.

    We already have a well sexy box with Kellz in the side.

    Baka departs

    That's the nature of betting. If it were certain, who would bet against?

    Liam Walsh

    Been reading the Brizzle forum. They're disappointed to see Walsh leave. There was a rumour of a player bragging he'd got £20k per week to someone recently and so they're assuming it's him. If it is, I doubt he's coming here. Many of them also believe he'll end up at Ipswich. Surely we're...

    I would imagine it's because we have enough midfielders and there are rumours that bigger clubs will pay a wadge for him - meaning we can improve elsewhere - for example a big striker who can also score.
