Trod in one just the other night - in the high street in town - fucking furious, needless to say - thankfully most dog owners seem to be more responsible though

Lescott in the starting line-up. Again.
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

Or just plain ugly caps. That was also a long time ago, like the nineties.

My dad still drinks sterilised milk. He also leaves the bottom third of his brew, as though teabags had never been invented. Infuriating.

I so wish that scoreline is reserved for Arsenal on 14 December. If we can batter the scum at the swamp we can do that too, and we'll be @ home.
