Fair points.
I'm working on the basis that the squad is what it was at the start of the season. |

Agreed.
Nardi as 1st choice this season, Hamer as reserve and Walsh out on loan with a view to replacing Nardi next year would have been the way to go IMO.
(None of these guys are perfect, maybe not even adequate, but we have to work with what we've got. Equally I think they are all doing their best and should not be scapegoated. None of them are pretending to be injured, obviously unfit, demanding a transfer, leaking stories to the press, or otherwise being dicks.) |

PS there's a production company quite often credited on BBC radio called something like Loftus Productions - I've always presumed it had something to do with the old BBC building in Wood Lane, but also wondered if anyone involved was One Of Us |

Same, we also used to talk about "the Rangers Roar."
Afraid this is probably an Old Man Thing, though
(Speaking only for myself, natch!) |

Tell you what, Colin, if Desert Island Discs was just someone listing their top 8 it would be pretty cr*p; what makes it great is when they explain why these 8 songs tell you something about their life or why the song matters to them.
Now I reckon you could get a great, great, thread out of that, plenty people on here have done all sorts. |

Did it involve putting the cream on scones first and then watching the Cornish freedom fighters combust? |

Underrated and under appreciated player and always showed up for the club. I'll be sorry to see him go and wish him all the best.
But (and I don't like this, it's just the way things are) I'm convinced by Hunterhoop's proposition that to make the finances work we need to sell £500k of player per year (IIRC) and I'd say that with Hayden in the squad, Edwards maybe able to play a more attacking role than pure defence, then I think one of Varane and Field are the guys we can most easily spare if we get decent money for either. (Selling both would leave us thin in that position I think) |

I can't remember the exact details, but Peter Ustinov's parents were both of Russian ancestry (as you'd expect) but his father's side had taken a detour via Germany (thrown out by the Tsar for the crime of marrying a Protestant; young Peter was "von Ustinow" when he started school but dropped the von and changed the "w" back to "v" for obvious reasons).
Anyway his German-Russian grandfather married the daughter of a Swiss missionary who did some of his missionary work in Africa, so Peter Ustinov's four grandparents were:
- two Russian; some Swiss ancestry way back in the 1700s (an ancestor went to Russia as pastry chef to the Tsar)
- one German citizen, Russian ancestry.
- one half-Swiss/half Ethiopian granny.
(His dad was also an agent for MI6 while a German diplomat in London in the 30s, but that's another story.) |

Everyone else has said it better than me, but just as a side issue: not looking so much of the stony-faced Scandinavian these days, is he?
Watch him celebrate his winner, and his charge to grab the ball straight after Kone scored from his cross. |

On the whole I'd prefer it if the guys who handle our nuclear deterrent stayed off the sauce until at least they got back on land. |

Whether people want to use the Ignore button is up to them, but I have no compunction in using it.
Back in The Old Days, you chatted to your mates in the pub/at work/the Women's Institute/wherever.
No-one you didn't know came up to you and randomly started spouting balls at you uninvited. If they had done, you'd have told them to sling their hook.
No-one would put up with the other person getting huffy, talking down to you, swearing at you or otherwise slagging you off, but anyway it wouldn't arise because no-one would be bloody stupid enough to try - plenty of places it'd get you a smack if you'd tried it. And no-one thought anyone's freedom of speech was getting infringed or that you had a duty to listen to someone who got on your tits.
If you hung out with people who talked balls, that was your choice and your lookout.
The great glory of the internet is that I can sit here over 100 miles from Loftus Road and get into a chat about the Rs. The downside is that I've no control over who joins in.
Except, I have. That's the Ignore button. |
