Cahill an England international - most of second half

A small digression. Alan Smith -Bellend.

Just to clarify, which Alan Smith are we talking here? Journeyman football manager/director, lachrymose Toon has-been or beaky-nosed pseudo-journalist?

According to the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, they're all bellends.

No, Jimmy, in the OED it is bell end (two words - for a foolish or contemptible man or boy). Sorry, can't help it when the OED comes up....

Always thought a bell end was called a clapper.

Monty, far be it for I to show a Librarian around a library, however, when it comes to matters of colloquialisms you are far better served by referring to the Urban Dictionary rather than your favoured, more traditional option.

Urban Dictionary gives (or allows )

Bellend:

1/ The end part of a penis designed so that your hand doesnt slide off when your having a wank.

2/ The head of the penis, being vaguely bell shaped. Like a mushroom head.

3/ A complete idiot.

e.g When you are drunk, you dance like a bellend.

Not you personally, you understand?!

Bell End, I see, is a Worcestershire village.

I understand indeed and often use the Urban Dictionary when trying to comprehend some posts on this forum. However, Bruce, you might just have overlooked the fact that I was replying to Jimmy who said, and I quote, "According to the latest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, they're all bellends." Had he said 'according to the Urban Dictionary' I would naturally have held my piece - I mean peace.

I think you need the 'Edit Police', Bruno !

[Sir Nut]

Capello is a tit! I know something else he'll be thinking aswel, i cant wait to get Franky in my new set up! Lescott is nowhere near the class of Cahill, Cahills also alot younger, he gave him his chance he took it and did well why not keep faith in him? Capello out!

[seanworth]

Disappointed for Cahill but not overly surprised.

And that comes from a man who thinks Megsons warbies sliced!!
You don't do yourself any favours whatsoever do you?

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Disappointed, although I understand the reasons. When looking to find a partner for someone who'd only started three internationals, you can understand why a manager might overlook a 24-year-old who hasn't started an international in favour of a 28-year-old former club team-mate who's been in England squads for three years. True, Lescott's nine-cap haul hardly makes him Captain Experience, but beggars can't be choosers when you've several unavailable, and if Capello had decided to start with such an inexperienced centre-back pairing he would have been questioned by those without BL postcodes.

Speaking of partiality, I see the whinge has moved from "No Bolton player will ever be called up to an England squad" to "No Bolton player will ever get picked in a matchday squad" to "No Bolton player will ever start a game/be made captain/be knighted".

I understand the disappointment, I felt it myself on hearing the line-up, but it does amuse me that the shoulder-chip goalposts have moved so much in the last season. Cahill did well when he came on as sub and should now be a squad regular, especially with Upson on the way out and longterm doubts over Ferdinand's fitness.

Incidentally, Bruce, I noticed that poor Alan Smith "analysis" on the night. As it happens he's far from the worst and he can be excused for not spotting the nature of the injury immediately but it's very poor to call it wrong while actually watching the replay.
