Re: Biggest game of the season - Brighton @ Home

Is there anywhere that shows detailed stats on the game. Would love to know how many tackles Spearing made, thought he was awesome today.

Re: Hillsborough Disaster

I'm afraid you might be right Thought i was the only cynic about that too ! As if. Only last Friday some grieving mother let slip the C word on a BBC North-West TV interview. .... & it all slipped into place. The facts are that the poor sods who were killed were there early, probably sober & inclin...

That's shocking if it's true. I assumed he was injured. I know he's not everyone's favourite, but I'd play him in front of NRC or Pratley.

Liverpol need this to happen quickly, while there are still people in Kuala Lumpur who actually remember who they are.

Sonic Youth - The Eternal. Proper music from a proper band, showing these youngsters how to do it. To my great shame, Sonic Youth had largely passed me by over the years. Saw them on Jools Holland and bought The Eternal on the strength of that. Am now working my way through the back catalogue and e...

Re: The Apprentice

Is anyone watching the current series? Have to say I've always drifted in and out of watching previous series but have really enjoyed this one so far. The last episode was pure comedy gold. Pants man? How that could ever have been thought a good idea is beyond me. Who are your tips for the winner? ...

Hodgson (Fulham) Bruce (Wigan) O'Neill (Villa) Moyes (Everton) Ferguson (United) Interesting that plenty of people suggest Hodgson/Bruce but they are only 3/4 points better off than Megson. It will be enlightening to see where the three clubs are come the end of the season. Can't stand the bloke pe...

Re: The Reader

This film seems to have raised a lot of contoversy in the press so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Well it was an excellent film and can see why Kate Winslet won an Oscar for her role and she was well supported by Ralph Fiennes and David Kross. The film can be analysed on so many levels and on ...

That was Tessa Jowell, I think. Although they look similar. I think HH had a problem with donations to her deputy leadership campaign.
