My dad died yesterday morning (he was 83 and had been ill). It’s very sad to see the utter hatred these cunts have now. Wall pushing gestures etc. My dad was a blue. He wouldn’t have condoned that sor

The manager before last, their welcome video made a big deal of his achievements in winning the Champions League (a detail inexplicably omitted from their welcome for their last manager). 

 

What I'm getting from that is that Fatty's greatest managerial achievement is being able to dress himself.

 

Good for him.

I first heard it from Billy Connolly. (Manning probably did, too.)

Most of the time, however, as a mature comic performer, he could reformulate a specific joke or story, reanimate it from within, and the 'Connollisation' would be complete. Take, for example, the very basic joke that, of all people, Bernard Manning had been telling since (at least) the late 1960s:

I entered the concentration camp in 1933,' he says, 'Becky, you were by my side. I opened that little shop just after the war and I went bankrupt, didn't have two shillings to call my own,' he says, 'and you were by my side. I'm dying now, and you're still by my side. Becky,' he says, 'you're a jinx!'

In the early 1980s, Sir Billy 'revived' it, but also adapted it, to turn it into this routine:

What a shocking appointment. Are they run by a committee of Liverpool fans? Or is it just all a big reality TV experiment?

 

They're signing Van de Beek too, because the discarded and disillusioned Manchester United midfielders they've signed in the past worked out brilliantly. Why change a winning formula?
