Sam Dingle, wherefore art thou? Bet he's not a happy pooper. 10 mill transfer kitty - oh please!

What on Earth have they got rid of Ternent for? He's one of the few things they had going for them. They've got rid of him, Little's going, Blake could be going. I'm loving it.

You'll never get into a football match carrying a sword you medieval fool! You could have someone's eye out/ head off if you're not careful. And no, you can't have an inflatable mace instead.

Attach a frisbee to your head with a large lacky band, put some shades on and get some of that skateboarding gear. I think it's a bit heartless to laugh while London floods, Bob. Think of the reptile house at London Zoo - I doubt those poor beggars can swim.

He made a racist remark, but if he didn't intend to denigrate Desailly because of his skin colour, then he wasn't racist, no. I think he just had a mental abberation, that's all. He didn't outright call him by the words he used, he said some people would refer to him as *insert Ron's words*. You never truly know what is going through someone's mind. I can only go with my gut feeling that he isn't a racist, just someone who's prone to making daft unthinking comments. That said, he had to resign. I just hope he comes back at some stage, but at 65, he probably won't.

It's the feeling behind the words that counts, and not necessarily what you say ...

Jordan, it really does sound like you need some lessons in beering it! Not only do you allegedly get smashed on Carling (I never thought it possible anyone could do that), but it seems you're happy quaffing bubblegum diet beer in any old roughhouse. You didn't take your dolly in there as well, did you? Worrying.

Shouldn't that be: "Gallagher and Stead are the GAS GAS GAS!"?

Yeah, I know, but you'd only be bouncing up and down because the bloke in front was. They should tell the guy in front to stop!

Inflatable money? That'll never work. How about attaching £2 coins to rockets and flares and firing them in the direction of teh stewards (possibly whilst on the bouncy castle)?

True. Maybe chocolate money? :-)

Why don't you all take £2 coins and chuck them at the stewards?

Ooops. Forsooth, 'twas drunk.

Oh for goodness' sakes, give him his job back. If he was racist then he wouldn't have bought black players. It's easy/ right on to condemn but it takes a bit more balls to stand up and say that he's not a racist. I don't believe he is. He is eccentric and I can understand how he's upset people. But, at the risk of being seen to be naive, the term "racist" does not sit easily with his name. He's made a very silly mistake, he's apologised and should pay his penance. Then he should be allowed to have his job back, on the condition that he won't be a naughty pooper.

"Send Fat Tom on!" (as heard by a mate at Palace!)

Time to bring back "The Black and White Minstrel Show". With your host and compere, Big Ron! He could do the closing number as well. Would go down a treat! It wouldn't be racist, just old-fashioned.

Harry who? You dunno who Harry Belafonte is? "Banana Boat Song" means nowt to you?

Fuzzy Wotsit you mean. Do you think we should be after an expensive pastit Harry Belafonte lookalike Revidge?

Like that scene in The Naked Gun where the bloke goes for a jimmy, and his mike's still on!

I always liked Big Ron, always thought he was a top bloke. He's made a very silly error of judgement. I'm certainly shocked that he said it, didn't think he had it in him. I'm sure there's a few more in football capable of that language, they're just more guarded with what they say. What a sad end to a commentating career. He always livened things up for me with his little aphorisms, but there was no way he could stay on. How predictable that the anti-Man Yoo brigade are out in force.

Well done Mr 75. Never knew you'd played against Flowers tho'?

I've just read on the LET that Souness wants Robbie Blake in the Summer. Graeme, you have quite clearly had a Matt Jansen-style accident at some point last summer. Now you want to buy a dingle. I can't think of a more compelling argument to get shot.

When you operate in the rarefied world of accountancy, it's easy to lose patience with lesser mortals!

To be honest I don't think KSB is a wind-up merchant. He just has very firmly-held views.

I still remember that 5-1 defeat at Barnsley. Ouch! I don't think TP would help this time.
