    He's good as comic relief. Seems to get on with everyone, too.
    Football is primarily a sport but it's also entertainment. There should be a balance in punditry.
    Keep people informed and educated, but also find space for a bit of a laugh.

    Harry Potter stars Emma Watson and Zoe Wanamaker both done for speeding today, cases heard in the same court.

    They must have been 'wizzing' around the country....

    Sorry...I'll get my coat....

    Watson already had 9 points and got done again.
    Virtually every response was a predictable "12 points for Gryffindor!", but it's still funny.

    Got suckered in to watching the latest (and by so far the worst) remake of War of the Worlds....

    My only comment is that if I'd watched it on a plane I'd still have walked out....<doh>
    <laugh>

    I'm sure that it is the film that Rotten Tomatoes was created to review...

    It currently has 12 professional reviews and averages 0%.
    It's getting worse reviews than Beethoven's 4th, the 3rd sequel to the dog film.
    Ice Cube will inevitably blame the Jews, of course.

    I didn't know it existed, and might have been tempted to watch. Had a shifty at the imdb reviews and glad you've spared me some minutes left of my shortening lifespan - thanks. Also my colleague at work said I shouldn't bother with the new Naked Gun film, which is sad as I thought it might be good. Fingers crossed for Spinal Tap.

    I have been reading a lot this week about Sonnys departure leaving us without 'superstar' for the first time in years..I beg to differ whilst we have had a number of superstars over the years very few of them have been the finished article when they joined us. The team that Poch 'grew' that included our latest Superstars - Kane and Son (and Eriksen and Alli), was built around a core of good young players, (these 4 included) who developed into great players in a very good team. The jury was out on Son for a while if I remember correctly.

    Maybe and its a very large maybe this is the next squad with good young players who under a coach who can actually coach them could become better than the some of its parts.

    As an aside to this, who was the last superstar we actually signed, I would go for Kinsmann (maybe Ginola) we have signed plenty of players for big money but I don't think any were amongst the best in their position which Jurgen was, the closest this century would probably be Hugo!

    I must confess I have done no research just done this from memory so I may have missed an obvious star, so I expect to be corrected!

    Proven and great players at both club and international level.
    So that would be Lineker and Klinsmann.
