Strangely enough I am going to a funeral in Birmingham next week!

Not quite. Guillaume le Conquerant would be the literal translation. Not that I know the difference between conquering and vanquishing. Never done much of either sadly. Good name though.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Any more news on Vainqueur?

Someone should feed Wilf, Townsend and Benteke from the midfield, Cabaye will not be enough alone to collect the balls. I hope, MacArthur is coming back soon and a DM is definitely needed as a replacement of the Jedi. I like Ledley, but...

Thanks!

I thought the literal translation of his name was Willy Wonka

Grammar: The difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit

I suspect we might decide to rely on McCarthur and Ledley as our DMs this season, and switch our focus to a second striker (eg Remy?) another wide player (Burke?) and maybe an attacking midfielder, and/or defender?

Very amusing from someone living in Wisbech

"Wisbech, I came pretty close to sliding into depression"

I’m astonished that this nightmare of a town has only been mentioned a couple of times. I’m guessing this is because none of the residents know what the internet is yet and the majority of those who have escaped are still too traumatised to speak about their visit. If you ever wondered if England had an area inhabited by our equivalent of American trailer trash red-necks then you’ve obviously not been to Wisbech.

Wisbech’s red-necks didn’t get their colour by working hard though, oh no, their sunburned colour comes from sitting around the town’s market square comparing trainers and their latest benefit stream generator (baby to the rest of us) with their mates.
