Coincidentally, somebody in my office has just passed round a tube of Mint Choc Chip Pringles. My advice would be, should you ever have a chance to try them, don't.

That last bit in the Hull piece is particularly telling about Allam, I think. He claims he always does what's best for the club but refused to work jointly with the council in expanding their stadium, insisting he wanted to buy the freehold. That would be fine if it were bought in the club's...

The Bournemouth Echo says bigger clubs are looking at Cook now, Easy. He may be one we let go a bit too soon.

Dunno how much Poyet had to do with him, but when Christian Baz tried a bicycle-kick volley in a pre-season friendly which actually worked the 'keeper, I thought we'd signed the love child of Garrincha and Diego Maradona. Wasn't to be. Shame, really - proper flair*, he was. *I believe that's...

I'd seen that as well, and had always assumed it was for time-wasting purposes. But to do that at 4-0 down does suggest there's some other reason. The supporters don't seem to rate him either. Look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25534679: "Any player(s) you'd be happy to wave goodbye...

Would he just freeze on a bigger stage, though?

Could mean Vaughan's off, of course.

IWC Portuguesa. IWC make things of real beauty, IMO.

They also want him. A lot. That must count for something, having been courted for months by a club which is now sitting in an automatic promotion place.

My voting thoughts exactly. I'd rather we didn't sell him to a club I regard as a play-off rival (I don't think Burnley will last the course as an auto-promotion contender), but this is, providing a replacement can be found, the right decision I think. If the link to Mason has any substance, and...

No comment can be made on the state of our promotion ambitions until the window closes. When we've done whatever transfer business is done, and we know the shape of the squad until season's end at least, that's the time to proffer your opinion on whether the club's 'given up' on promotion. Until...

Perhaps they have. It seems unlikely they'd sell him like this if they had a free hand.

I realise that we've done OK in Bridcutt's absence this season, and have other players who could ostensibly fill that role, but he's a class player when his mind's right. And I'd just prefer to have high-quality players in the side. Not a slight on Barnes, but he's not in Bridders' class. So...

Hen. *Ahem* Anyway. My biggest issue with it is not with Barnes himself - I have no particularly strong feelings either way on him specifically. What I do care about, though, is potentially strengthening a divisional rival, particularly with a striker. They're not easy to come by. I recognise...

Good God no. I think the term is 'marvellous scenes' or similar. United's problem at home is that their fan base a) have forgotten that in football you can lose games, thanks to years of dominance, or b) are too young ever to even be capable of forgetting such a fact, never having been cognisant...

A Russian workmate tells me that, as well as the insurance fraud that TheJasperCo mentioned, you can more or less buy a driving license there from the right person, without having to go through the tiresome rigmarole of a driving test. Or lessons. It's probably a more pressing exigency over...

Dundee United for me - they caught my eye with their terrific side of the early/mid eighties and have some good ones now. The lad Gualt (sp?) already looks like he'll end up top-flight south of the border. And, of course, as all civilised people do, the mighty East Stirlingshire.

I'd heard this too - a report from one of the web's Liverpool regulars who has a history of being on the mark reasonably frequently. Hardly gives it legs, but I thought I'd at least back up the OP insofar as he's not just made it up himself.

If I remember rightly, as far as the Laws are concerned the ref is considered part of the pitch. So yes, it would have stood. Don't think he had any reason to blow up - no infringement had occurred.

What a job Slade did that season. We'd looked completely doomed when he took over. Really pleased to see him doing so well lately, even if it is at a club we had to borrow as a rival for a bit during our wilderness years.
