I think there may have been some smoke-and-mirrors involved in Borrowdale's move to QPR. The £500k-£700k figure may be imaginary. Something quite a lot lower could get him - if he's interested in staying.

Excellent choice. I saw the Yeovil - Blackpool play off final and Yeovil were clearly still knackered from their semi-final against Forest two days earlier. He built them a decent team out of nothing. I don't suppose our board can afford to sack White and Booker - the number of new players at...

...cantering in a few hours behind the rest! Have a look at the film (ask them to send you a copy if they're incapable of sticking it on their web site) and see if you can argue that your view of the signs was restricted. Get someone in London to check the signs are there at all - they quite...

Just watched Boris's interview, having read NMH's comments. Yes, he does try to disarm people by pretending to bumble but the substance of what he said was fair enough. Some day, we're going to have to ditch Heathrow and build an airport in a more sensible and safer place, and the Hong Kong...

That's fine, El Pres - except the IRA's stated intention was never the total obliteration of this country and their little hand-made missiles almost missed the MI5 building from 100 paces and certainly couldn't destroy buildings 40 kms away.

How about the fact that both Kuipers and Forster had extraordinary seasons last year which they haven't managed to repeat so far this year? The home game against Hartlepool in April was as bad a performance as any I've ever seen (apart, possibly, from Blackpool the previous year) in 40+ year of...

Deathly hush.............. you should be OK; your main problem may be finding any electricity in the Caribbean in the first place! Some islands have American sockets and some have European one - have you got one of those multi-pronged ones for every eventuality? Unless it was made by an...

Uncle C's right - the aluminium bits make it an expensive repair job if you get gasket problems. I had a couple of the souped-up ones in the '70s; pigs to drive on a windy day (very light in the front) but quite fun otherwise. If you've been offered GJK103H, don't touch it. It used to be mine...

Can't see why anyone thought the ScotNats would win this election. Since their mighty triumph at Glasgow East, the price of all that oil they claim to own has halved and their two banks have gone bust. Not much left to shout about, is there?

I can't believe it's just an attitude thing. He's become a mini(scule) Gascoigne disaster area. Asperger's syndrome.....? Whatever, he needs help. The abuse he used to get on here was fair enough; I can't believe a mentally normal person would have allowed himself to sink this low. Time for...

Very sad, really. Eight clubs and eight black clouds - and he's only 25. It can't just be childish bloody-mindedness. The Football League, or wherever he's currently registered, ought to have the ability (and concern) to send him to see some sort of psychiatrist. There aren't enough players...

I see our visit to Andorra really set their football pulses racing. 200 spectators turned up to watch last night's 1-3 defeat to Belarus. Still, the absentees showed more sense than the 25,000 who went to watch the 0-0 draw between Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein...

Continental trains not always what they're cracked up to be... Had to spend 24 hours near Oulx in the Italian Alps a couple of weeks ago. Return first class seat about £170. Great, except the carriage on the return trip (5 hours, arr. Paris at 11:45pm) was completely full with French Club Med...

Did he say anything about his tendency to be unavailable for series against oppo with quick bowlers? Curiously, he never seems to mention it when describing his golden career on air...

Today's news: 1) Local councils, the Post Office and others to be allowed to check up on your emails and internet use. 2) Government can hold inquests behind closed doors if, as in the case of Dr David Kelly or under-equipped dead soldiers, it thinks it may be embarrassed by ther verdicts. 3)...

I think England lost the series at Lord's when we had to bowl the spinners at the start of SA's second innings because the light was bad. Their openers walked past me on their way out to bat and they looked really demoralised and pissed off. When they came back, after facing a few innocuous...

Phew - I can come out from under the desk.

I've clearly been supporting Sussex for too long. The words "Cork" and "not out" fill me with a sense of foreboding......

Three thoughts: 1. Giles Clarke was accused of accepting the Sky bid last time around without going back to the BBC who had a bit more to offer. Don't know if it's true, but people said he swooned when he say the Sky offer and lost control of his faculties... 2. The BBC now has BBC3 and 4 to...

Did you know "Yaaa" meant "the edge of the ice" in Estonian?
