The Doris went to a charity shop the other day and randomly picked up 3 Peter James hardbacks for me for a quid each. I've read 3 or 4 of his a while back and quite enjoyed them, so have just started Need You Dead which has started well. I've always enjoyed the forensic locality of his books...

And they're pricing him at £50m now, after Juventus came sniffing. £50m for a bloke who is 4 years older than Cucurella, and who has barely kicked a ball for a year. Yet they come to us with £30m. Its clown college stuff.

I'll be watching, and have really enjoyed this England run. Having had a somewhat jaundiced view about the womens game, I've been genuinely taken aback at the quality of some of the games this summer, and this England team in particular. My problem has always been the relatively pedestrian pace...

A 4 today. Yesterdays macked me RIGHT off. I had INCH with 3 guesses still left (went pinch, finch, linch). Cuffing CINCH. Disgusting.

Perhaps he could be tempted with a Cleveland Steamer ?

True. But then Glenn Murray had the opportunity of honing his skills and boosting his confidence in front of goal precisely because the early part of his career was spent in the noddy leagues. He was on a learning curve that was far more condusive to bringing out his talents. Sadly Connolly has...

He's in Serie B. If he can't knock some in there, then I dunno where he goes next. Sligo Rovers ?

I'm not homophobic. But I don't want to be made to walk around in rainbow colours. I'm so confused.

Moving on is easier said than done when you are an immature young man with money, an ego the size of Cornwall, and an invincibility complex. Sounds like Potter gave up on him, which probably tells you all you need to know. He needed this totally fresh start away from BHA. A clean slate, its...

Anyone who could slice garlic like this must have a gentle touch. But he was still ruthless. Henry and Paulie RIP. No more for now please.

I'm gong to Bournemouth..... ...the week before, for the airshow. Its bloody brill.

Why should they have to go elsewhere when their employers are the ones who (without consultation) dropped this on them. I compare it again with my own (dull little office) workspace. If senior management arbitrarily decided one day that I was now to start wearing a vivid rainbow colour tie to...

I'd say he's probably signed for the wrong club, being as they've been our sponsors for 10+ years now. On the wider point though, I certainly wouldn't think any less of him if it was against his own personal ethics and principals. It would be down to the club to either try to find a compromise...

This is the thing though. Prior to this group of players saying 'no' to wearing the rainbow shirts, had they actively shown that they were 'homophobic' ? Had there been any incidents of them giving homophobic abuse to anyone, on social media or whatever ? Not to my knowledge. So in those terms...

A very honest interview, that. Unusual to see that level of honesty and self-analysis from a current professional footballer. Hopefully its a sign he's woken up and grown up a bit. It sure backs up what some people (with one notable exception) have been saying about him on this thread for a...

Well, you say that. But its difficult to quantify whether wearing rainbow laces, or having rainbow designs on football shirts actually "works". Yes it raises awareness and sends a positive message, but much like the perpetual "kick racism out of football" t-shirts and hoardings that we've seen...

This is getting into the realms of whataboutery though. My point is - IMO, we do not have the right to impose OUR beliefs on other cultures. In this case, we are talking about sportsmen who are going about their business as sportsmen, whilst choosing not to be included in political statements...

I absolutely do not believe that homosexuals / LGBT should ever be discriminated against. As I said earlier, live and let live. Never have I had a problem with it - everyone has a right to live their lives exactly as they want if it does not harm anyone else. I don't feel compelled to...

Fair enough, thats your opinion. I don't believe things are always quite as black and white as that in life. I've never gone out in town wearing a rainbow coloured t-shirt, and TBH, if I was specifically asked to by someone, I doubt I would. My choice. Would that make me a homophobe then ?

I'm not in the slightest bit religeous. But arbitrarily dismissing out of hand the religeous beliefs of the billions of people who are (because like me, you're clearly not) could be described as being a bit....descriminatory ? Anyways, this isn't a hill I'm going to choose to die on. I just...
