I was drawing no comparisons between the two in terms of severity of offence or the verdict, more the rampant speculation that accompanied each case prior to their conclusions. The Evans case especially was seemingly treated like some sort of soap opera by a section of the wider public. Horrible.

And people hear about it as well. Poor lambs. The court of public opinion that starts long before any verdict is handed down always seems wrong to me (Ched Evans or even the Albion players being cases in point), but once the case has concluded...sympathy for the guilty dwindles somewhat.

And Bobby Moore could be in the back line, without any reference to escape to victory either!

Do you mean Pele? Also, Ossie Ardiles, Bobby Moore and Sylvester Stallone.

Jonathan Woodgate would be available for selection.

You've got Marlon King & Marlon Harewood available? If arrests without prison time count then you could have Merson as well?

So who defines our 'full potential' then? It seems to be the in thing to talk down the national side pre-tournament (useless no hopers etc etc) then continue to slate them afterwards as well. To then say that they're not hitting the full potential is a bit odd, almost implying that the team...

Johnson can try and sentence the judge but I don't think that's normally how it works... Edit; Also, probably not the only one but in a minority. He did wrong, she's a child.

Does that mean the rest of us can hold a referendum to remove Portsmouth from the rest of the UK? Maybe add in Croydon and make it a double whammy.

Looking at the live updates on the bbc (which, by the by, feels like trivialising it as if it were a social event...) it looks like he'll be going away fo quite some time. Crying shame that.

So is the only way to not be considered chokers winning the world cup? If not, what is the correct non-choking manner to be eliminated?

Sounds like she's already got a pretty good idea about what the working world is like, wanting to get out early is absolutely reasonable.

Huh. So they didn't. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! As Argentina didn't win that World Cup, I'm going to suggest that the mental anguish caused by losing to the power of the Mighty Beckham's right foot was a direct cause of their eventual failure to best Sweden. To whit; we...

Well blow me down, so we did. I'm putting that one down to poor memory!

What about Argentina in 2002? Appreciate it's all a matter of opinions but you'd be hard pressed to disqualify them as a big team surely?

They. Are. Glorious.

Is it possible that they actually are crying? God knows that there are days at work where just giving up and weeping in the corner seems the best/only option. Failing that, sounds like you might have an office warrior on your hands. Have fun with everyone getting ill due to them 'toughing it out'!

That's a fair point. From the bits I read about him it did seem like he had some demons.

From a distance I found his antics interesting (I can't say funny as I don't think some of them were at all) but I suspect in closer proximity it would've been a different tale. Regardless, going at 46 is no age at all.

We seem to have a number of fitness freaks in our office but nothing as specific in their constant evangelising/humble bragging (that literally no-one but them cares about) as the crossfit wanker presumably is. Barely a day goes by without someone talking about their new breakfast regime or how...
