    Jesus - really? That's kind of insulting.

    I once laid a log that was a good 12 inches long. Couldn't believe it at the time. Never knew I could get knighted for it.

    I mean, of course that whole system is ridiculous but this is no more or less ridiculous than a lot of other honours which have been dished out.
    Some of my colleagues have honours simply for working in the civil service for quite a while at a certain level of superiority

    Worked out that United have spent 1.2 billion pound net on players since Ferguson left, and that’s not taking into consideration signing on fees, the amount they will have spent on cancelling contracts and of course wages

    Jesus what a fucking mess

    I don't really care about the other sectors but yes, in a sporting capacity, this is ridiculous.

    The honours system has always been an old boys network, a list approved by Whitehall and sent to the palace for the stamp of approval

    I don’t especially like Sadiq Kahn (although his role in London becoming a hell hole, as well as the statement that London is a hell hole is greatly overstated) but when you think of some of the other people given knighthoods and peerages, it seems odd at the very least to scream blue murder about it.

    Apparently Lopetegui's probably out and West Ham are after Potter, could be a good fit maybe, it's more his size of club I think

    Potter did himself no favours by going to Chelsea, absolutely toxic club. But he’s a decent coach and I agree could be a good fit for West Ham

    Haven’t watched Match of the Day for about 15 years, not about to start again now

    Had a bit of a thing for Gabby Logan back when she was a back up anchor for Des Lynam for ITV’s The Premiership (was never going to work having a football highlights show with myriad advert breaks) but now? Well the years are not kind to any of us. I mean she looks good for her age, but she doesn’t have the same posh totty appeal that she did, I don’t even know why posh as she’s Terry Yorath’s daughter but I guess with his wages he was able to send her to private school
