The book is written in that kind of style, yeah. It's part biography, padded out with scripts, which are extensively annotated. The notes deconstruct the content in a very interesting way. Totally recommend the book.

Parker? I think you're right about Milner - City were far better with him on the bench. Speaking of which, look at England's bench today - Crouch, Jagielka, Zamora, Green, plus the three who came on. Mediocre.

What I don't get, having given this more thought, is how England went from the 3-1 in Switzerland earlier this season, which was the best England performance for years, to this. Was the team so different? Or are they always just knackered at the end of the season?

Agree with all that. Was trying to work out if this was the worst England side since 93, Turnip head and all that. Granted, Rooney and Gerrard were out, but we had three Aston Villa players on the pitch by the end. Villa are mid table in the prem. Scott Parker just got relegated, and managed to...

That is an amazing, amazing graphic. Looks like an explosion in the Barca midfield. And the two most common Man U passes - long hoof to Rooney and killer ten yard sideways from Vidic to Ferdinand.

If you're talking about weekend day time, then hellz yeah.

There's a really good tactical analysis of the game in the comments on the Guardian, here By game I mean CL final, not League 2 play offs.

The rate most people cite is 6%, which means that 6% of rapes reported to the police result in conviction. In the Stern report, which is referred to in the article and is v good, she makes the point that other crimes are not discussed in that way. The conviction rate is normally the proportion...

That website was fucking brilliant. I've decided not to add to the map the recommendation I made on the thread cos the last time I went there there was a massive hole in the ceiling and the food was shit. Pretty sad.

Baboon, I think you need to take some time off work to do yours :)

TAPAS IS FUCKING FREE IN GRANADA! FREE! IT IS THE GREATEST CITY ON EARTH!

Yeah, Georgian, Armenian, proably Uzbeki or whatever - all great. Russian food itself is awful, tho. I spent a year there as a student and mainly ate in McDonalds cos evertyhing else was so greay and bland. Also McDonald's had clean toilets.

You can't have Georgia/ Russia! That's like having, erm, hang on....Jamaica/ UK. OK it's not. But Georgian food is lovely and Russian food is crap. Dill with everything. Gah.

And grows

Too right. Is this a Hessle thing?

That is brilliant. I shall throw in Mangal on Arcola St as the best of the Turkish grills in Dalston. Edit: Done! Cheers Mr Haiku!

Christ that's a hammering, though. Cameron's a lot stronger than he was last night.

Yeah, that's a perculiar comment. He's a fucking great DJ. And I saw him lecture once and he was quite shy and didn't use enough comedy slides like my lecturers did.

Blimey. Brighton up, Norwich up, Forest in the playoffs. Even the Chelsea fans have something to cheer. If it weren't for Andy and Clyde, this would be a fantastic season for the roiling blather thread.

This has been the best season I can remember as a Norwich fan. Saturday was a great example. Scored two good goals, conceded two equalisers, and our erstwhile fall guy striker completed his hat trick with the last kick of the game in the 95th minute. Goals after the 80th minute mark have given...
