I remember bursting out laughing in the street upon reading the reader's page in a 'Viz' comic back in the day. It went something like:
Dear Sir,
Save money and don't pay £750 for a personalised number plate, by paying £50 to change your name by deed poll.
Yours faithfully
Mr. T388 SPL |

Apparently, his new book was loosely based around the trials and tribulations of a second generation north African footballer, with a suspected questionable attitude to preparation, struggling to break into a second tier English football team, despite his prodigious skills and haircut.
'Train and able' will surely be a cult classic. |

I'd wager, he wrote that!
I'd also suggest, the number cited is the total number of books he sold. Otherwise we'd be quoting it alongside the Bible, as you say, and Mein Kampf. |

I'd have to agree.
The man was a total wrong 'un from the off. Rules and laws are mere inconveniences for his ilk, and are for the plebs.
A total chancer, and everything else beginning with 'c'!! |

I wondered what happened to him after Different Strokes.
Well I wonder if his injury record is linked to the fact he's played too much footy at such an age. |

Hold up, its an IB!
I was just about to ask: does anyone know when they'll announce the preseason friendlies? |

Well, I ask the question about 'government interference' and I'm sure I raised the point earlier in this thread, because I don't know.
Those with better memories than I can remind us if the British government interfered with the Saudi government's purchase of NUFC. Which, given their human rights record and slaying of Jamal Koshoggi three years prior, surely you'd expect if they had any involvement.
This article makes no mention of governmental involvement or, mentions whomever was the Tory Sports Minister of the time getting involved.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/foot Thus, mentioning Burnham as the Sports Minister when the UAE bought City is irrelevant if: you cannot adduce evidence of skulduggary then or now.
However, in relation to government influence, if we go back to the WC, were we not getting our boxers snarled up when Mango Musolini rang Infantile up to overturn a red card, as being such.
All very, very tawdry and I'm glad we put the brakes on our promotion push last season up at the Ricoh. |

Oh dear....the British government has been hawking the UK in the Gulf for years, and for a damn sight more than a 'paltry' £200m. I had the pleasure of blowing the froth off a few with one of 'our' chaps out there a few years back, whom answered me thus, 'Selling the UK!' in reply to my enquiry as to what he was doing Sunday to Thursday for HM Government (see below).
The real questions I'd respectfully suggest are: if the UAE do/are putting diplomatic pressure on the UK Government, will it bend or, tell them to do one? Followed by, if we do tell them to do one, who will take up the slack and at what price if the UAE sulk snd take their ball home? Plus...WTF is left to sell?!!!
Merely because Burnham has negotiated with the UAE is not, of itself, treachery. Plus, does a government need to sanction a football club takeover? Thought FIFA rules (I lknow, that's a joke) preclude government interference in the running of football. I ask as maybe he wasn't even involved in matters and even if he was, unless there were shenanigans at the time, so what? Burnham's best bet, stay away.

His driving offences took place before we returned to PST, so I think we and everyone else were never going to touch him pending the outcome of the legal case.
His career has gone steadily downhill since the 2022 WC and I'd need some seismic convincing before I'd take a punt on him. |

Given the level of investment from the Emirate of Dubai, I wonder what conversations are going on at the Arsenal? No doubt the cousins in Abu Dhabi will be looking to call in those favours for bailing our Dubai!
The more I think about this, the more the onus might be on former and current Premier league clubs to pursue civil claims and for UEFA to apply the pressure their end. |

Thought Burnham was spot on, handled it well, and given all the dynamics here, handled it as he had to.
The real issue here is about governmental ownership and thus, potential interference. If the UAE, Etihad and Emirati sponsors start getting involved (the last two are essentiallythe government), they're basically trying to use their influence to let City get away with cheating. Simple fact is: what we consider wrong isn't seen in the same way in other parts of the world.
Which is why when you have laws, rules, and standards, then you either stick to them or you might as well throw them out the door! Whether you're a Brit, tubby Malay, Yank, Qatari, Emirati, then these are the rules and if you don't like them, fck off!!
Otherwise the next thing you know: you'll have some tinpot dictator shitting his nappy because his favourite player was sent off and rings his chum up, who just happens to be the head man to reverse the red card, despite it's merits. If we ever got to that stage, then it's truly fuc.....oh!!!! |

That's one of the best uses of irony I've seen in a long while!
And yet, it's the sight of the ugly moaning moosh of Fernandes waiting to take a pen, with the shirt sponsorship taking centre stage that has me chuckling.
Only you and your mates Jeff, Zuck, and Elon could have dreamt that up. |

I think we f....d up not getting Rayan Konnelli loaned out last season. He needs to play youth football otherwise he'll look like an old bloke puffing in a kids game. |

I remember watching the episode where she highlighted Nicholas Winton's amazing work with the kindertrains. It was an incredible watch as only 'That's Life' could do.
