That's way too technical for the likes of me. Are you saying that you're a fat ?

You're right, as usual, Diego. It would be churlish and needlessly unkind to blame "McLaren", and yet I think we should. Having failed at two tournaments in which we were well fancied, the FA promoted the assistant to the architect of those failures to the main job, with predictable consequences. "McLaren" reckons that Israel is a tough place to go to get a result and that we shouldn't write off our chances just yet. However, he must be the only person on Earth who doesn't realise that it was only a tough place for his England team to go and get a result, which doesn't necessarily go for everyone, or anyone, else. The players who have contributed so willingly to "McLaren's" downfall ought generally to be excluded from selection in future. That doesn't include Rooney, but it does include "Michael" "Owen", "Gerrard", "Lampard", Beckham, "Terry", "Cashley Cole" and, of course, "Robinson".

I know that the armchair patriots will hate this, but you can't blame him if he doesn't necessarily wish to get a front row seat at the inevitable conclusion of "McLaren's" reign.

Maybe the new drummer is looking to defect. He'll turn up in the Chaddy, keep a steady beat, and be everyone's hero. He can swap shirts with "our" "drummer" and everyone's a winner. "Our" "drummer" can help the cause by going over to the RRE to destroy all their songs. Win win win.

Are you saying that Peter Beardsley made a cuckold of Quasimodo? That's too far fetched, even for you.

...sounds like the Tulse Hill Tavern. Why is Liverpool such a poo hole? Because the EU and the Government send so much money there without asking the people of the city to do anything for it. Anyone who really wants to do anything with their life leaves, leaving behind you know what. Lah.

It's early days but the man from Royton ATC marching band would appear to be working his skin-thumping magic.

Fair play. Nothing wrong with the Wirral acoustics then?

Is that some sort of Freudian typo?

Sheridan in.

It doesn't get any better than that. Suck it up, Ronnie, you binman.

So much trouble, all for the want of one of these.

I take it you're talking about or to me. Blimey O'Reilly, they've already got SOCA and SO12 out looking for the drum and the heinous criminal who cruelly took it away on that dark, dark night in Doncaster; and that's after a bloke who deigned to criticise what by common consent was abysmal drumming was taken to the nick to explain himself on a trumped up charge; now you're going to get the Computer Cops to take me away. I wish I had half the nation's police at my beck and call. I have a feeling that someone sees the following subliminal symbols almost all the time...

As for the Chron article: does anyone know of any better ways to spend £120? Bejesus: can anyone think of any worse? Nevermind, folks. (Don't sweat, man.) I'm sure South Yorkshire police are pulling out all the stops in search of the missing drum. Indeed, I bet that the squad dealing with the case will be at the return fixture in the hope of retrieving it. Or maybe they've handed the case on to SOCA or SO12.

I saw Taylor on Saturday quite close up and there's no evidence that he had recently been butted, or punched, or the subject of physical assault of any kind. He was a bit muddy and out of breath, but I put that down to him being involved in a football match at the time. I think we can safely rule out the "Butted Taylor" rationale for the departure.

Oh yes you could. GOC did.

The drummer is not a good drummer, is what I was saying, and needs help. He ruins the tempo of songs by speeding up when he ought to just keep a steady beat. Worse still, he's ruined the OWTB song beyond repair because even when he's not there now, people feel the need to speed up to a point at which it's impossible to sing the words. Send him to Royton ATC's marching band, if they still have one, for some tuition. Age needn't be a factor in all this: sixteen to sixty year olds are all perfectly entitled to be bad drummers. I'd love to indulge it but--how can I put this clearly?--it's really irritating.

There's some quite useful demos on youtube for the aspiring percussionist too.

How the bejesus can you describe a season of unexpected success as a "flash in the pan"? I'm glad you're so sure, by the way. I, too, feel a sense of certainty when I allow myself to dream of a world without "KyleOAFC".

Listen: I couldn't give a rat's cuss about Peter Bloody Taylor. What's mildly interesting (and not a little boring) is your incesent negativity. I reckon that you'd be satisfied by nothing less than a nuclear detonation over Boundary Park. Citeh fan. Can we ditch Coco and keep Sheridan? Can I set up a poll?

Also, your "mum" posts under the same name. Is there any coincidence?

It's always your fault, son, unless someone specifically tells you it isn't. You, sadly, are not a good drummer. In fact, you are a very bad drummer. We would all love a drummer, but someone who can actually play the thing.

Who can't make their mind up? Is that coming from someone who bet against us v. Forest? Is "Coco" a citeh fan?

And much, much further down than this level. I am absolutely flabbergasted--nay, disgusted--that TTA didn't seize their chance when it came along.

I won't be going to Orient on Saturday. I'm off to Walsall instead in search of love.
