Fucking wanks.

Need Bolton for £170.

FFS man

Cabella taking the absolute piss.

Coutinho should have gone for that. Still bitter about Robert/Bergkamp.

Just turned it on. Why do they always insist on fly-tipping on the pitch before kick off?

Far too much choice and value (on paper) out there today, inevitably leads to me being too ambitious and getting fuck all.

It was though. Why did Ashley splash out for Cisse full in the knowledge that it made the Europa League such a strong possibility?

A mackem wants Carver in charge of NUFC? I must say, I'm shocked.

Wish Mike Ashley had tried to take on Raoul Moat.

Guardian. His twitter says 'Husband, father, French football journalist based in London working for Le Parisien, RTL, BT Sport and ESPN.' Guess he is wrong.... Probably just does freelancing for them.

i think the important thing is not the post-sentencing comments but his remarks to the jury before he sent them away to decide in that ED209 link Ah fair enough, I'm on the wap site on my phone, hadn't realised that.

I'm not sure the judge's comments are worth a jot tbh. I would bet it's almost unheard of for the judge to say he disagreed with the jury's decision or cast doubt on the verdict in any way.

I think there are two arguments here. Of course some rapes are "worse" than others, but it wasn't that that caused the ruckus when whoever it was (I can't remember) (remembered - Judy Finnigan). It was the implication that that meant that there was some forms of rape which "aren't really too bad". That's the dodgy ground. Rape is a hideous crime, whichever format it takes. In that sense, rape is rape, the media are correct on that. There was also this: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2011/may/18/david-cameron-urged-sack-kenneth-clarke-rape Ken Clarke basically explained what the UK sentencing guidelines say (i.e. that some rapes, like any crime, are more serious than other crimes of that type) and nearly got the bullet for it. I'm sure other people have had similar treatment for similar comments.

The fuck? So murder is now seen as morally more acceptable than rape. In the common consciousness I think that actually is the case tbh. Definitely. I think it all depends on context, personally. This case is really not comparable to (or worse than) murder. Absolutely, I wasn't commenting on this case particularly but culturally, rape is now the ultimate crime. Murder is the stuff of gentle ITV Sunday afternoon drama whilst even post-watershed rape scenes attract huge numbers of complaints. A football pundit can freely use "murdered" to describe a game but if he uses "raped", he's finished. There's also this idea in the public consciousness and the media that rape is rape and that no rape is less serious than any other. That idea is so stupid I can barely comprehend it but that's why Evans is such a pariah. A few public figures who've attempted to disagree with that idea recently have either been forced to apologise or gotten threats. It's fucking weird like. I don't even know who these people are that abhor rape but will quite happily threaten rape on someone that says something they don't like.

Well we wouldn't have aarons so I'm not sure that's a good idea Bristol City probs disagree They released him tbf.

Imagine if he comes back here fresh from failure in the Turkish second tier.

Didn't realise that about McCormick. Ugh. That's much worse than this. Generally agree with your post. Not of particular relevance to Evans himself but I can't stand this line of "he has to be allowed to work again and football is his job." Cool, we'll just let rapist police officers back into uniform when they get out in that case.

I treat international management with a similar view to cup success when it comes to judging a manager for a club job. The roles are so different that they're barely comparable imo.

Skybet fucked me and many others on cash out on Boxing Day. Still livid about that.

There are 8 foreign coaches in the Premier League. 6 of them make up the current top 6 and 1 of the other 2 finished 5th last season. I can certainly see why English coaches are so in demand.
