  1. Private Hicks: Why us Sarge, why us? Colour Sergeant Vaughn: Cause we’re ‘ere son. There’s nobody else. Just us. Audience: Gulp.
  2. Littlefinger is one on my favourite characters in the novels. I had him down as a metaphor of a council house kid on the make in a competitive professional environment. Talented, intelligent, ambitious and charming, yet, despite these qualities, his relatively impoverished background ensured he would never be fully accepted by his peers. This, in my view, caused him to become the treacherous and unprincipled, “most dangerous man in Kings Landing”. Just finished reading “Beyond the Wall”, a series of short essays on various characters and themes in the novels by assorted academics. It appears my man is a psychopath. Oops.
  3. One of today’s rags, (Telegraph ?), claiming certain City players could be banned from playing in the CL. The players in question being those whose transfers contributed to their losses during the past few years.
  4. Today’s Times say only Arsenal, when winning the title in 2002, have won 14 consecutive league games in the history of football. Jockey Hansen in the Telegraph says no team has ever won 14 consecutive league games in succession. Whisper it, but one of these organs is wrong. Any idea which one? Whatever; we have to, we can and we will.
  5. Three wounds we made in the heathen flesh and the white whale's wig was tempered. Ishmael in a Rooney shirt.
  6. And now I walk in the midday sun I never thought that my saviour would come I think it's amazing I think your amazing. George Michael gets the hots for Gollum and speaks for us all. Amazing.
  7. Always had a soft spot for OGS. He was a Liverpool fan before joining MU and continued paying a fan club subscription after signing for the Mancs. He only cancelled his sub after MU pointed out the diplomatic niceties of the situation. Once a Red, always a Red.
  8. Ravel Morrison. A talented nut-job who would stretch Brendon’s man management skills to the outer limits and then some. A Mancunian from a dysfunctional family, described by Dementio as having more natural ability as a teenager than Ryan Giggs, the midfielder is currently on loan at QPR following his transfer from the Mancs to West Ham. Morrison’s early season goal against Spurs and his mazy run and cross for a tap-in at Fulham are both goal of the season contenders. Fast, skilful, energetic, young and bought by Big Fat Sam for a modest fee, he fits our club’s money ball criteria. He is an attractive prospect for many clubs but his character is disturbing, to put it mildly. When at MU Morrison pleaded guilty to witness intimidation after his girlfriend refused to give evidence against him following a tiff, and was heavily fined after posting homophobic abuse on Twitter. The MU squad was disgusted when one member, said to be Fannylips, had an eye catching pair of brand new boots nicked from his kit bag. The following day Morrison returned the missing boots and explained he only “borrowed” them. Given how BR has dealt with the darker sides of Saurez and Sterling and the alleged arrogance of Sturrage, converting Morrison to the path of the righteous is a worthy challenge well within his capabilities. If he succeeded we would have a top class talent on our books. If he fails, we can dump him and recoup the modest transfer fee West Ham are asking. A risk worth taking in my view.
  9. Today’s ref is a paragon of virtue and integrity. To prevent accusations of home team favouritism and anti-Scouse bias, the match will start with a Chelsea penalty against 10-man Liverpool following Skrlel’s dismissal for paying attention during the pre match pep talk. All hail Howard Webb: the Nelson Mandella of English football.
  10. A post referring to tongues, cheeks and tight arses in a thread about minges deserves financial support. When submitting my application to this salacious forum I ticked the £24 pa members box. I received a reply informing me to expect payment instructions within 10 minutes. That was a week ago and I’m still waiting. Before asking for my money back, is there any chance of me paying up first? Thanks.
