A truly balanced and objective assessment, Sir . . . Bravo, bravo! A "notoriously money obsessed crook", you say? Now, if you were to tell me that 'Arry was not the brightest of sparks or that he was a Del Boy-style wheeler-and-dealer then I would be inclined to agree, but, seriously, making wide-ranging and unfounded (some might say libelous) accusations against one really isn't very wise. And honestly, accusing Harry of being money grabbing, weeks after he turned down a lucrative deal with Newcastle, really isn't very clever, is it? Nice literary reference too. You might just want to watch out though, as it could seem pretty crass painting Harry as Shylock, and playing on Tottenham's Jewish reputation, no? Further to your comments regarding success and stability, I think that you'll find, to quote Deloitte, that Spurs are the most cost-effectively run team in the Premiership, and that not so long ago they recorded two consecutive fifth place finishes and won the Carling Cup. Now, this and last season really haven't been the best, but supporting a team owned by an American sugar daddy (and previously Doug Ellis), devoid of silverware and, until recently, barren of European football, really doesn't leave Villa with a leg to stand on when it comes to talk of success and stability. Thanks for your thoughts, they were really most constructive, particularly the sign off!

That new Ralph Lauren advert is a big bland pile of piss. Even for Ralph Lauren.

This whole situation reeks of greed and pig headed ignorance. Harry Redknapp is a notoriously money obsessed crook that wouldn't look out of place in The Merchant of Venice while Spurs and Daniel Levy have no idea how to run a successful/sustainable football club. LOLz @ Spurs, you continue to astound me with your stupidity, you pack of morons. Michael, Lionel ended up at Cambridge United, but after he retired he became a tennis instructor. He used to lay down his magic not far from where I used to play, in fact I often used to see him shouting 'Oui! Oui!' as he encouraged some 12 year-old girl's backhand.

It is nothing new, it just it irked me specifically with the Rays because, call me old fashion, I don't consider them a 'proper' baseball franchise.

Sunderland fan, eh? I had the misfortune to attend Villa-Sunderland last season, my sole outing of the year, and as you'll recall we were beaten 0-1 in one of our few truly awful performances of the O'Neill era. Back in '97 I saw us beat y'all 1-0 when you had Lionel Perez in goal. Savo Milosevic scored (deflected).

Matt, I agree. They should have awarded the Phillies the whole darn thing after the Red Sox lost, because surely no one can be watching this feeble excuse of a World Series. The most annoying thing about the Rays story is suddenly all these nuckleheads are coming out of the woodwork like they've supported the team for years. The only Rays I've ever spoken to was Bellazon's own Hyperion, and that was on the Internet~! Having that said, I like the Marlins, they're my favourite NL team by a clear distance.

who?

How's Barry settling into your midfield, Ed? Oh, wait, that's right... ZING~!

Aston Villa-Ajax! Tonight!

Awful. The first one is just usual airbrushing nonsense, the other one has Diane cuddled up next to starfucking coke fiends (at least that's what Elle looks like). Everything else on this page (except Orblando and the red head stuff) is amazing.

Diane's response to the bouque question is brilliant, especially with the raised eyebrow at the end!

BVB are 13th and remain utterly hopeless, Bayern won the league (got hammered by Zenit, though!), Hamburg pissed their season up the wall and somehow Schalke have been allowed to continue existing, despite being the incarnation of evil. So basically, business as usual.

On a lighter note, BVB beat Stuttgart. Only 31 points behind Bayern!

Urgh, what a hideous shoot. Can see what they were gunnin' for, but my how they failed.

Do you remember that scene at the end of The Legend of Bagger Vance; where Bagger leaves Hardy and Junuh on the 18th because he senses they don't need him anymore. This, this right here, is exactly like that.

MK has, like, no fashion sense at all. Consistently horrendous.

This is like when Ringo left during the White Album sessions because he didn't feel appreciated.

Only yesterday I was watching that MOD TV video where everybody's talking about the naturality of Maybelline...then they go and airbrush the heck out of lovely Julia's face!
