But you're arguing we shouldn't bother with the Uefa. That is (or perhaps was) a 'realistic' ambition. What I'm saying is apart from some decent trips abroad for the fans what else does it do? Its a rubbish competition really. If there was a reward for the winners then it might be worth it (like fo...

Right and I'd like to finish higher up and obviously would like to finish 5th (but why stop there?). But we can't cope with the extra games . Really? This keeps getting trotted out, mantra like, to answer all critics. An unchallengable axiom. But it wasn't our UEFA Cup run that caused our problems ...

For a long time the game hasn't purely been about "winning things". Its always been about getting as high up the ladder as possible. And the way the game is structured now that is even more so the case. Hmmm.... Why do we want to be as high up as possible? Simply for the joy of looking down from th...

The UEFA cup has been a totally insignificant competition for a fair while now. To be honest I'd rather not be in it, extra games for no reason. If you aren't in the Champs league there's no point. Aye. Much like the league cup. Or the FA Cup. In fact, since we're not going to winning the league, o...

Kinnear. FFS. Guess he'll be bringing the beautiful game up there. Makes me glad how we are run as a club. Aye, cos we appointed Sammy Lee, Gary Megson, have Mark Curtis as our 'football adviser' because the chairman apparantly needs a bent agent to make his decisions, purposefully got ourselves kn...

Re: A real life Alan Partridge
http://www.wordmagazine.co.uk/content/when-hardeep-met-les Here's a few minutes of genuine radio gold: BBC West Midlands' Les Ross attempting to interview writer/broadcaster Hardeep Singh Kohli. The words 'Partridge' and 'Alan' may spring to mind, although not necessarily in that order. Heard this ...

Ermm but surely the only judge of whether a film is a "great" or a classic is your own personal opinion of it? If you are not in that field then yes, not disagreeing. However a director or producer is going to know more about the greatness of making the film than the average joe in the street. Aye ...

But its why its impossible to judge. Indiana Jones films are classics and brilliant films for what they are. But how can you judge them alongside films in different genres that perhaps are more significant in other ways? You can't unless you accept that the vote is based on the films that are most ...

Anything that involves asking the public for their view degrades the rankings. Harry Potter ranks 471, but The Wicker Man ranks 485. Deer Hunter (467) and Full Metal Jacket (457), yet Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom (233) See what I mean! People who think Harry Potter is a good film, will undo...

Predictable and boring top ten though! just shows how much of the great British public lack any class or imagination!
Probably why there are so many scum fans knocking about!?

The question that stings for me, is why when there was any doubt was Tevez allowed to continue to play? Even when I think it was generally understood that he shouldn't be there, when it came out that he was part owned by a 3rd party against Prem rules, why was he allowed to line up? IIRC there was ...
