Wife, kids and dog all ecstatic.
Me? Well, somewhat bemused by the unexpected turn of events but...
Sad news. Pure genius that man. God given talent but smoked like a chimney, went on a daily round of pubs and bookies and stuck two fingers up to authority more than once. Womaniser as well by all accounts.
I wish I'd been him.
As they used to sing at QPR ...
Our friend Stan is a footballing...
Indeed ... shows a proper grasp of life's priorities. If we all started chasing sunshine and olives instead of working our nuts off and watching reality TV, life would be the richer for it. Hence 'what a sensible chap'. Not one jot of sarcasm intended. Good luck to the Greeks and up yours Delors!

I'm sure there are as many disasters as successes when it comes to bringing in old crocks but I'm firmly in the 'bring him back' camp.
After all, he's only 2 years older...
Talking of virgins (on this thread) ... :wave:
As mentioned by a few others, this thread is pure therapy. I once tried to share it with a US colleague but they couldn't make head nor tail of it which cheered me up immensely for some reason. Anyways, my tale is a little darker than all the...

We're in 22nd place - sandwiched between Wigan and Rotherham. One can understand why their fans might have left the country. Wouldn't happen in Germany.
