It's the puff adder story that does it: even if it isn't fatal to it, the effects are clearly pretty awful, enough to knock it out for 2 hours. But he doesn't think twice about it: for that reason, the honey badger has got my vote.
Southampton seem to be the main danger: they are flying under Atkins. The thing is once you're at the top, you get greedy: I want us to go up as champions! I think we will but it will be close.
517-1 declared. That is the most significant factor to come out of this 1st Test.
Ponting will be having sleepless nights, because everything that was said about the Aussie bowling attack before this series started has been confirmed, and worse besides.
Absolutely: they can't bowl us out. I...
I agree with you about the Lord of the Rings: I wonder what would have happened had Peter Jackson been given a Potter film?? Also agree with much of your review: esp the split in the woods. I felt the whole film lacked real emotion, as if the movie's darkness precluded anger and emotion...
I don't know if it's relevant, but I suspect it may be: Gus played for Chelsea from 1997 - 2001. Roman Abramovich took over Chelsea in 2003. He's the one who makes the decisions at Chelsea (including deciding to sack Ray Wilkins). So Abramovich has no `emotional ties` to Gus. I suspect...
I agree with this. Our bid has been a complete shambles from the start. Who in their right mind would put someone like Lord Triesman (who?) in charge, when no-one in this country knows him, let alone in international football. However, you can already see the press is being lined up to take...
Unfortunately such phrases creep in when commentators or reporters feel the need to use different terms to describe events in football matches. They lose the first basic rule of broadcast journalism which is to be conversational. Hence we have such rubbish as a brace, a shotstopper, bagging a...
I absolutely agree 100% with your last paragraph Bozza: this forum must be independent, it would lose all credibility if it were otherwise. And whilst i applaud your willingness to be transparent about whatever has happened, I think that could lead to more blame and recrimination. The central...
If you read what I wrote, I was calling the situation childish: I didn't apportion childishness to any individual or any collective. I think the way forward is not to individualise it but to try to move on. At the end of the day, we all want to anticipate Falmer and learn more about it...
Insider: I'm posting to you something I put on the main board earlier. Maybe you can help knock some heads together. It went as follows:
I don't know if this has been raised recently: apologies if it has been - but the Ask the Falmer Project Team thread was a really good idea and there are...
Obviously something pretty nasty happened, but I think my suggestion was `forgive and forget`. I will post my original on Ask the Club as suggested and see if they are any more willing to move forward.
