One of those players who is reduced to pay by game. Sad, really.

It's not that easy to write about idiosyncratic, trivial topics. Some light relief has its place in a weighty publication. Inoffensive enough.

Style and substance - could work as a team. Hope not.

suffered his fair share of injuries....was a real prospect at one time

Why now?

Has quit George Galloway’s Workers Party after just one week admitting he had never ever bothered to vote, himself. It does not reflect well on either party. What a farce.

Thinking of starting a Campaign for Real Football Stadiums.....

Went to the Tottenham Stadium for the NLD - thought I was at a pop concert. It was only the foul abuse that kept me "grounded"

I do love the East Stand, it reeks of History. Am I right in thinking that some of the structure was taken from Catford Greyhound Stadium? Somebody told me so....

Have a soft spot for JK - for when he squared up to that fella who left us, went to Burnley in a fit of pique, and ended up at Bromley. Mind you, we go got some reasonable mullah for him. He became a real hate figure.

Remember Ekpiteta as one of those gangly gawky types who manages to retain the ball when it does not look likely....

Today marks the 17th anniversary of the 'disappearance' of Madeleine McCann What do you think happened to her? German police are pretty convinced their suspect is the man Hopefully the truth comes out one day Detective Amoral, who was in charge of the original investigation, believes Madeleine died...

What next in British politics?

The contest for London Mayor has turned very ugly. Best to avoid Twitter. Khan may not be to everybody's taste but he has conducted himself with dignity. He emerged with a lot of dugnity when he stood up to Trump.

Yes..tort is a civil wrong.

I blame “Have I Got News for you!” - that’s when it dawned on him that he could play the part of the lovable rogue and have mass appeal at the same time. He’s been getting away with it ever since. Be a caricature buffoon and throw in a bit of Latin. Add a few self-mocking pranks…

Interesting that the Tories are winning the poll above. This is why Opinion Polls are misleading. Tory voters like to remain anonymous.

This is one of the many problems Tories face - why do so few of their followers put posters of support in their homes?

Enjoyed the comment from the bank worker - "he doesn't look very well."

Even using meaningless corporate jargon......

I have worked with many people who simply think that the way to "get on" is to toady up to the management at all costs.

I mean that he is not a "yes" man.

How many of us in our jobs have to conform and curtail our instincts about how the job should be carried out because we have to "toe the line"?

I am pleased that Richie is an agitator, rather than a time-server.

It has all been a bit surreal....
