Boooooooooooooooo!!!!! (am I doing it right?)

Wherefore art thou Romero?

Watching the 'Championship of Europe' at the moment. Netherlands looking pretty good.

Just so long as they don't come to my house and try to engage me with their indoctrination mantra.

It's probably more aimed towards the FWL* *Facebook window-lickers

Every major war ever has had religion at the heart - or the periphery - of it. What you are saying, though, is the only justification for religion. "I don't want to die. I'm scared of ceasing to exist. I know - let's pretend there is a hereafter"

Why do people continue to believe in a god or creator? It's insanity.

Occasionally (but not often), I'm almost lost for words. Afghanistan made 291-5, and Australia, when Pat Cummins came to the wicket, were down and almost out at 91-7. Glenn Maxwell started shakily, surviving an LBW review and an absolute dolly of a dropped catch when he suddenly went berzerk. He and Cummins knocked the runs off with 3 overs to spare. Cummins made 12*, whereas Maxwell went to his double century (201*), hitting 21 fours and 10 sixes. He dealt almost exclusively in boundaries in the latter half of his innings, because he was either suffering from cramp or a pulled muscle and could barely walk, let alone run.

There is only one thing worse than being farked about - and that is not being farked about.

The fact that a Derby player voices support for the manager tends to piss off stupid people, so what's your excuse?

That would apply to every player under every manager.

I'm trying to be quite fair about things here. I've never happily tolerated the obtuse. Intelligence can be a curse. I reckon I'd be much happier with a window-licker intellect.

I'm of the opinion that the use of the laughing emoticon just because you disagree with someone (as opposed to finding something genuinely funny) is the signature of a sub-standard intellect incapable of elucidating a coherent counter-argument.

No, that's Plan Q, so named because the defenders queue up to clear the ball without problems.

Made a live human sacrifice in the centre circle, whilst saying 'Jimmy Savile is my hero' and 'I support Forest'. Now anyone can make a mistake - or even two - but supporting Forest is a step too far.

Seemed to work.

The problem is, we're not in a 'guaranteeing guarantees' position. We are trying to recover from the second-worst position in our club's history (we were once just five minutes away from being would up before Maxwell bailed us out), and sacking the manager is something that David Clowes, because of the huge cost which that would entail, is unlikely to contemplate (last resort notwithstanding).

Worn out.

You should never be offended by the truth.

So Plan 'S' now?

I wonder whether the commentators will apologise for that too.

I tried watching it on an old laptop. Utterly unwatchable - almost continuous buffering.

Can't say that I do.

I told the Memsahib that when I ripped some rogue pansies out that were encroaching upon my Scotch Bonnet / Armageddon / Habanero sanctum. It did not go down well.
