Hi, I'm Ed Winchester. Do you hate feeling like you're an idiot? Well, here's how NOT to feel like an idiot. Find a rumour someone asserts is true and then adds that, if you don't believe it, you're an idiot. Now: agree with the assertion. Ergo: you're no longer an idiot! Okay? Problem solved! Move along, people, no idiots here!

I don't really know if he's just hugely frustrated and a bit irrational at the moment, like most of us, but he's been a bit, well, mercurial all season. When that interview came out I must admit it sounded to me like he'd been on the ale and then realised in the sober light of day that he'd probably talked himself out of hospitality for the foreseeable future, so we got that rather panicky protestation followed by frantic phone calls to Sammy et al. Then again, maybe he was genuinely stitched up by someone who was remarkably good at capturing his real opinions (and what's happened to the journalist since? Sacked?). I don't want to think of Aldo as a liar, but it was a strange episode that didn't make much sense whichever way you looked at it. Even last night, he started out very outspoken and then seemed to get a bit sleepy and started 'half-agreeing' with just about everything anyone said.

LFCTV seem to get an awful lot of Londoners calling in. It's a free country and all that but it still makes me wince. One last night, hilariously, couldn't think of who McAteer was, but wouldn't just shut up and move on. I thought he was going to say, 'Er, give me a clue - what's the first letter...?' To his credit Jason found it funny. Actually he was amazingly sensible throughout the show.

Yes, I must admit I haven't taken enough notice of his matches to know if he deserved this, but Zola's a decent man and I fear for anyone working under those two bastards. They run straight to the press and the fan sites whenever anything goes wrong - talk about solidarity! Hasn't Bilic been lined up for quite some time for the job?

That's one arl fella and one Grandad: gentlemen, we have ourselves a survey!

Has he sued that magazine - Nuts - yet for 'making up' those quotes that were pretty much what he said last night? Come on, Aldo, lad, get that simple sword of truth out - Jonathan Aitken's long finished with it! Liverpool Echo.co.uk - Liverpool FC - News - Reds legend John Aldridge denies calling for Liverpool FC boss Rafa Benitez to be sacked

Not really. The sources have to stand up for the BBC to go public. You're surely thinking more of wikipedia, where the number of sources is all that matters, even if 90% of them are wrong.

This site seems to be filling up with people who want to boast about going on another site and not liking it (and then getting banned). It just sounds like you're a bit bored and aimless.

Don't forget the white cat he had on his lap. He had one of those, too.

Ha ha! There should be a service that guarantees it.

Sunny was banned for posting double video links. It's the new law.

Josemi is making a nuisance of himself in and around a passport photo booth in Figueres.

Is he insinuating that Benitez is really a she? Green's always a moaner, though, which dilutes the impact of his moans when they're perfectly right. Imagine being stuck behind him at McDonald's: Green: 'Oh my lord, she's now changed her mind and wants to order TWO mega cheeseburgers instead of her original choice of an angus steak McWhopper! Honestly! Why supposedly grown-up people can't write down their preferences clearly on a list before going out to the shops is beyond me! And...oh GREAT! Oh, well done, that's just PERFECT! Now she's paying by pouring a mountain of coins on the counter and just STANDING there while the pimply kid serving has to count up all the 2p and 5p pieces! Unbelievable! Graham Taylor: 'Ha ha ha! Calm down, old son! We'll be at the front of the queue soon enough. Green: How DARE you speak to be about calming down! I ought to take you back to my house and play that DVD of you in that documentary, raving like a loon about being in your meter and thanking that official for losing you your job! How DARE you tell ME to calm down! Graham Taylor: Jesus Christ, mate! Green: And less of the 'mate,' too! OH MY GOD!!! Now we've got STUDENTS at the front, ordering for what's probably the total population of a medium-sized commune! Yes, that's right, lads, start thinking NOW about what you all fancy! YES! Have a good old long PONDER! Come on, get your mobile phone out! Have a natter. Why not, eh? Brilliant! Graham Taylor: I'm leaving. Green: GOOD RIDDANCE!!!

Or, alternatively, give the forums a rest, do some work, read a book, go for a walk...

Where are our manc forum correspondents today?

Well spotted.

:biggrin::biggrin: What do we want? ILITERASY!(SP?) When do we want it? KNOW!(SP?)

At his age, if he goes elsewhere to win something he'll need to go to an absolute certainty of a club - Real aren't ever that, as Owen discovered. And he doesn't strike me as someone likely to become multi-lingual in any brief period of time, or a player likely to keep that injury-free. So, for the prospect of a couple of years of doing a bit better than he did here from 2005 to 2007, he'd be taking a massive gamble. But then he's as intelligent as he is unemotional.

Sunny's been sent on an intensive training course to learn how to write "you're" when he wants to abbreviate "you are". It involves being hit around the head with a baseball bat every time he writes 'your' (except when he actually means "your" - but that distinction can get lost in the heat of the moment). Don't laugh. You're all going on it, one by one.

Gerrard has more moods than a woman suffering from acute PMT. If England don't go beyond the quarter-finals there'll be reports saying 'Gerrard hates clueless and cruel Capello for playing him on the left' and 'Gerrard wants Hodgson for England or he'll retire'. He has the emotional age of a five year old.

People who, by the same accident of birth that led us to support LFC instead of, say, Colchester, must be raging at what spoilt twats we sound these days.

Arms folded tight and a sulky expression until we win the next league? Otherwise isn't this just wanting the team to do better, or, in a Beckett fashion, fail better?

Do you know that a muslim can live for a whole year on one grain of rice. Imagine that!

That just says something about your Dad.

Point proven.
