Andrew Howard

That’s very true but he still a net piece of shit.

I dunno, we’ve looked pretty toothless trucking up the middle and our lack of a carrying option at the back of the scrum has looked problematic.

Fair point. Not a great look at all.

It’s very hard to detect a game plan. What have they been doing for the last three weeks?

You’re right. I misread the original - I thought he was going for the plants need CO2 therefore e more CO2 is good for plants argument. Equally stupid, but a different experiment .

Well, no, because Mr Ridley is not a plant. However, your experiment would work with oxygen which I believe is very good for humans. Up to a point.

Yes, but Ridley has a farm and bankrupted a bank so I simply have to take your evidence and qualifications as equally valid.

That’s bad, he has a ridiculous impact on your win rate.

He’s a big wussy

Ahead of China too.

There are previous Skeleton gold medalists working very hard not to burst into tears on both BBC2 and TNT. Great stuff.

Your leader’s shite, he keeps me up all night.

I don’t really know why. Her position within the Tory party is hardly rock solid but this is ground on which there is a clear basis to challenge any wavering MPs: Dorries, Jenrick, Zahawi etc, you have all chosen to betray your country.

And Totsuka was a couple of inches away from being out of sight the run before … crazy, tiny margins. That was fun to watch.

Heck of a competition.

Judges naming new tricks on the fly. Awesome.

Tim and Ed. I wish I loved my job as much as these two. #Olympics.

It’s about £2 per viewer.

I know that, I was confused by you saying "how we are dealing with Marseille". He was Man U's problem - are Arsenal thinking of buying him?

To be fair, that was a shitty shortlist. And rather obviously, Osbourne was never taking that role, he's making too much money in the private sector (he should of course, have rejected the whole list)

to the Champions League QFs.

I think it's impossible to tell how good Heitinger is. Good interim at Ajax, disastrous permanent appointment - and the post-Klopp years are so wildly different that we can't really tell what his contribution was at Liverpool.

But I do agree that Spurs are in a scrap (while potentially cruising in

I'm not familiar with this. What do you mean?

He strikes me as the best squad builder in the Prem at the moment and Villa play good football. But Spurs are not renowned for their patience and they wouldn't hire him because of Sol Campbell....

It's showing on Great!TV at the moment. It's very sweet but John really should have got together with Kate. The undoubted highlight is the group leader, Louise's catch phrase, when she leans over to quiz the divorcees "and were there any [pause] sexual problems?"

The dead guy didn't.

If I'm 30 year old Zahawi junior, I'm disowning him.

I saw a hilarious set of odds for the next manager that had Ledley King at the same odds as Oliver Glasner (well ahead of Iraeola)

The very best option for Spurs would be to tempt Emery. He may have failed at Arsenal but he whoever was the immediate post-Wenger manager was doomed.

(from someone who faced a similar level of excitement last week when dal for tea turned into a lentil bolognese)

Get the pasta on.

Or maybe the rice.
