It's worthwhile noting that shredding this painting caused it to massively increase in value to 15 times its original price. Is it really thumbing your nose at the art establishment if they celebrate and profit from your work regardless of your intentions? What would you say Banksy achieved here, other than making himself and an art collector extremely wealthy?

Trite rubbish. Personally, I'm not keen on graffiti at all but, leaving that aside, it's just so jejune. If someone were to tell me Banksy was their favourite artist, it would elicit the same response as being told their favourite musician were Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran. "Wow, you must've really thought long and hard about the medium before concluding you like the exact same massively overexposed thing as everyone else."

I just don't care anymore. I don't care who's cheating or who isn't, to what extent they're cheating, or whether the rules are fair. I didn't develop an interest in football because I liked accounting and bureaucracy. Modern football is s***. Fans celebrating accounting tricks and balance sheets, whether in favour of or detrimental to their clubs, is pretty pathetic.

Ben Pringle. I only know this because I found it pretty funny that Fleetwood sent someone with his complexion to play football in the desert.

Is it really feasible for a club of Wycombe's size to fund the operating costs of a cat 1 academy?

Jimmy McSporran is currently scoring for fun for the Lossiemouth Rocket Snappers. He's an imposing presence at 5'7" and he'd boss it in the Championship. A snip at 10k/week. Jock Stauner at Yoker FC is also worth a look. He's a tough centre mid, known for big tackles and being a no nonsense hard man.

Yeah, first club and birth place wasn't any help to me. I don't know where Barham is. I just worked it out from who was playing in our defence that season.

Warnock looks delighted. Good to see him getting into the spirit of the Scottish game.

It's interesting to see someone else mention this. I've seen Lee many times through the years, but his last show was the weakest material I've seen him perform since his very early days. Truculent is an excellent descriptor and I was left with a similar impression, but you can never be certain whether it's intentional since the character "Stewart Lee" is truculent by design. Is he still using the "this side of the room doesn't get it" schtick to increase audience engagement? I have to admit I'm getting pretty tired of that now. He's worked it into every show for nearly 2 decades and that seems an odd crutch for someone I always admired for his innovation. Maybe I should take a brake from his stuff for a few years, or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy (like Stew).

Although I find the idea laughable, you couldn't rule it out. It would be the usual scenario where 99% of people don't care, but a few terminally online sad acts endeavour to have him cancelled. I have to admit it is something I'd seek clarification on in the interview. I wouldn't want to miss out on the next Virgil Van Dyke because my manager thinks black lads can't defend. I also wouldn't want to miss out on decades of experience at the highest level and a potentially great manager because of a single stupid comment made years ago.

I really hate that Reading game. What you say about the rest of the season is absolutely correct. We'd adjusted our expectations for the season so many times, from can we stay up? > can we compete? > can we get 16 points? > can we at least see something to be positive about for next season? That's where we were going into the Reading fixture. If we'd somehow got a win or at least shown some fight in that game, I guarantee the players would've been applauded despite an abject season. We got nothing and were obliterated by a poor Reading side who would be joining us in the Championship. It was the moment we all had to accept that not only had we been s*** in the Premier League, but we were going to be s*** in the Championship.

I think Akranes is in Iceland, so Thordur Gudjonsson. As far as I know, he remains the only Mörlandar to ever play for us.

"Leeds fan who fell from Stamford Bridge upper tier is banned football hooligan who was jailed for punching Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland in 2012" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13142753/Leeds-fan-fell-Stamford-Bridge-football-hooligan-jailed-punching-Sheffield-Wednesday-goalkeeper-Chris-Kirkland-2012-Aaron-Cawley-33-recovers-hospital.html Now, I really hope the steward sues him.

Limbs innit mate. It's a stupid trend and this is what it leads to. I hope the steward he fell on sues him.

Useful idiots falling over themselves to have government and corporations regulate speech. If anybody breaks any laws with their comments, then I hope police can find them an prosecute them. Otherwise, I don't care if someone gets upset about mean comments on the internet.

I'm not a fan of England's hyper aggressive style. This test was obviously an embarrassment, but in all honesty we've already exceeded my expectations for an India tour. I'm not expecting a win in Ranchi, but we have to be more competitive. I just wish certain players would think before running their mouths. Ben Duckett is rightly getting ripped to shreds for his idiotic comments during this test. Confidence and positivity aren't bad things, but neither are respect and humility.

We sold him due to his bad pissing and tickling.

I'm guessing French. Too early for Grenet. Lillian Martin?

Kelle Roos. Fun fact: He suffers from a rare condition that means he's unable to extend his arms above head height.

I thought the same after watching the goals. I have no idea what they're crying about with the 2nd. I doubt Roos will be Warnock's cup of tea, so he won't last much longer. By the way, anyone who thinks we're too negative on here should go and read some threads on the Aberdeen forum. I think I'd be miserable too if I had to watch the SPL every week, but I feel like asking for a welfare check on some of the posters on there.

That's a valid argument. I've said previously in this thread that I rarely pay any attention to punditry because it's saturated with boring ex pros. My problem is that the TV executives think they're solving an issue by replacing boring male ex pros with boring female ex pros. Surely it's more an old boys network, rather than a class system though? I'd have a hard time arguing that Rio Ferdinand is a blue blood.

I agree with Barton on female ex players moving into commentary, but only in certain roles. In terms of presenters or play by play commentators or match reporters there should be no issue with females in the role since it's been established that first hand experience as a player isn't required to perform this job well. It's a bit different once we get into the colour commentator and post match analysis roles. For better or worse the precedent exists that these roles apparently require first hand experience of having played the game at a certain level. The counter argument made is that the mechanics of the game are the same whether its played by men or women, so an ex female player should be just as capable. But by that logic, aren't the mechanics of the game the same between Premier League and National League (tier 5)? Yet, it would be unthinkable for Sky/ITV/BBC to pack a studio with guys who had only ever played at tier 5 or below.

I was initially confused. I had to go and find the arguments in the Cashin thread you were referring to. Your point is valid if you can find instances of the same people praising the proposed Cashin deal and baulking at this one. (I'm not claiming there aren't any) We aren't a hive mind. Who were you talking to? Derby fans in general is a bit too broad of a group, especially if you're trying to make a point about hypocrisy.
