    How about this for starters Swords, there's loads more though<grr>
    ===============================================
    He has made a reluctant advance on football. In the colourful company of Flavio Briatore, now banned from Formula One, and Lakshmi Mittal, one of the world's richest men who is apparently worth £19bn, Ecclestone now owns QPR. "It's something I got involved in," he sighs, "not out of choice. I'm probably going to be even more involved shortly. It's a task that needs getting on with."
    Does he have any enthusiasm for QPR? "Not at all. Of course I can pull out – but there are lots of things that could and should be done there. It's mainly commercial things and for me to see if we can get that working better. Once you get me involved that's it. I'm there."

    And QPR are top of the Championship. "Yeah, it's good. Super, super, super. We can only go down from here."

    They might go up first, to the Premier League, before going down again. Ecclestone almost smiles again. "Half the people who get involved in football do it only to satisfy their ego. I suppose we all get caught up in that."

    There was a period a few years ago when it seemed as if Ecclestone might attempt to seize control of Arsenal. "I thought it would be nice if we could be in charge of Arsenal. It was a stupid thing to do. I'm very lucky I escaped because that would've been a 24-hours-a-day job. I only got involved a little bit because my daughter's boyfriend was David Dein's son. That's how it started."

    Jesus that was quick, you sure you pruned those roses properly? :tongue:

    Hardly terribly derogatory North. Flippant and a wee bit smug maybe but honest nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the little twerp any more than the next man but he's not the one we should be targeting.

    Its Il Duce to the Guillotine for me old chap! :police:

    They're as bad as each other Swords, a contemptuous pair and their little slimy sidekick. I pray we'll see the back of all three.

    Derogatory: adjective
    tending to lessen the merit or reputation of a person or thing; disparaging; depreciatory: a derogatory remark.
    ===============================================

    Seems about right to me.

    What are you lot on about?

    Ecclestone's a gremlin, not a talker. Far too busy to say much about our impoverished little club...

    Actions / inactions speak louder than words. He started by setting his big fat poodle on us. He's let the dog and the Paladini parasite spunk club money after bad. He's failed to significantly invest and jeopardised our chances of a prem future. He's put the ticket prices through the roof. He's turned his back on less affluent lifelong fans in preference for plastics and a 'boutique' business model. He's rejected well sensible offers (compared to what he paid) to cut and run and leave us with our culture intact. Need I go on?

    How derogatory, disparaging and/or depreciatory is that? Man's a dried-up, cynical little ****head!

    Now back to your gardens both of you and make hay while the sun shines!!

    I'm sick of my garden, too much noise but hard to argue with that.

    Brix, you the man!

    And talking about derogatory terms , that F1 race yesterday was ****ing awful.
    All that money to produce the best cars in the world, they turn up on a Sunday,
    and the product is a snoozefest.
