    1) No idea.
    2) Because they're half-decent WUMs and some people are dumb.
    3) Too many headers?
    4) No, but I don't miss them.
    5) Never. It's going to become a new Premier League rule.
    6) Comolli + West Ham.
    7) Maybe.

    1) how the hell has alan shearer got a tv career? - Lots of Geordies, and one of the only decent England players who hasn't got skeletons?
    2) why do people pay to call talkshite? - FAME!
    3) how come garth crooks was so good at scoring but is so bad at asking questions? - I dunno, but he looks funny
    4) am I the only one who misses muddy pitches? - Everyone would play like Stoke on muddy pitches. Pass.
    5) when will we get a penalty at whl? - Probably next season. It won't be for Spurs though. Crap goals anyway
    6) how has andy carroll cost £54m in transfer fees? - **** knows. Have you seen the list of most expensive (accrued) english players? It reads like a horror movie: Carroll, Bent, Crouch, Ferdinand, Milner
    7) will we actually by some strikers? - Nah

    It's worth a few hundred to me to never find out. Second thought, maybe I'm being cheap.

    1) how the hell has alan shearer got a tv career?
    I didn't realise that he had become a transvestite.

    2) why do people pay to call talk****e?
    Because it's cheaper than calling women who talk dirty.

    3) how come garth crooks was so good at scoring but is so bad at asking questions?
    Most professional footballer don't need decent chat-up lines to score, Jack Charlton once tried to chat up my ex-secretary with the line 'fancy a **** luv'.

    4) am I the only one who misses muddy pitches?
    No but I miss the naked mud wrestling since the Three Squirrels on the A249 closed.

    5) when will we get a penalty at whl? Name your odds, we'll take your money- Paddy Power

    6) how has andy carroll cost £54m in transfer fees?
    Are you Garth Crooks? No, well go ask Kennel Dogleash. but seriously, over hypeted and under skilled, buy then move on ASAP as soon as you suss him.

    7) will we actually by some strikers?
    You say by rather than buy, I agree, we will let many pass by before we actually buy any.

    8.) How the hell has Glen Johnson got 48 England caps?
    9.) How long before playing at the Ford Edsel Stadium bankrupts West ham?
    10.) How the hell is Mark Lawrenson a pundit?

    Why do people believe "the table doesn't lie".

    Why do people believe "these things even themselves out".

    How did they expect to hold a world cup in the desert in summer.

    Most people think it's Dave Kitson.

    The rest, I don't know.

    I think that the secret footballer was actually more than one person, which is why nobody could pinpoint him.
    One journalist working with a handful of players, probably.

    You sad, sad people, it tastes like pork as does most human meat (though i suppose bacon is acceptable dependant on how it is cured). ;)

    Same reason some people believe their spouse would never lie to them..

    They tend to believe that when things have "evened themselves out" in their favour

    Because a massive amount of money suddenly made FIFA realise that, although it was deemed total insanity by everybody else, "Yes, of course it's possible"
