No it's alright Dave. Let it out, let it out...


Tomorrow's Sun:
*Boozed-up Bugs Bunny star nicked after six-hour cop siege. The voice of Bugs, Daffy Duck and Yogi Bear - Greg Burson - barricaded himself in his house after a domestic.

*Englebert Humperdinck thanks La Newton for getting his Release Me single re-released.
*Darius from Pop Idol made onlookers cringe when he demanded an upgrade on a flight from London to LA. He apparently uttered the immortal "Don't you know who I am" line - but was sent back to economy.
*Barbara Windsor and Muhammad Ali have "begged" Sky Plus to use them in their 'odd couple adverts - a poll has found that viewers want Ann Widdecombe and Peter Stringfellow to appear.
*Skeletor pictured shopping in LA, with Simon Fuller. Her new single, My Love is For Real was rejected by Danni Minogue, but she is reworking it with Cathy Dennis and the single's sleeve has a dedication to Derek.
*Double-page feature on stars doing the "Den" by putting their finger in their mouths.
*Shane Ritchie admits Leslie Grantham was right - he is self-obsessed.

I see Aberdeen have signed Derek Adams and Steven Craig on pre-contract agreements from Motherwell. So Haggischomper, will you miss them or are they a pair of diddies?
Craig is son of Joe Craig, Lisbon Lion, and brother of James Craig, flash-in-the-pan rugby player. He's okay, has a modicum of skill, has a knack for scoring goals against Aberdeen but other than that will cost you a fortune in medical fees. We've barely seen much of him in the past 2 years due to various injuries. A bit-part player with us so if he is signed as your main striker I'd start worrying even more about Pele's managerial capabililties. No great loss to us.

Adams is a good. hard-working midfielder who isn't afraid to get stuck in but lacks a bit of pace. The boo-boys fave at Motherwell (though I was a fan of his). Reckon he became a target for the boo-boys purely because he was bought as a striker with a big rep - he was banging them in for laughs in the 1st Div - and he never delivered as a striker hence we played him in midfield. Again, if Pele has bought him as a striker then yer fecked. HIs dad, BTW, is George Adams - formerly youth supremo of A/deen, Celtic, M/Well and now, sadly, the Huns. Derek is a Dons fan and this will be his 2nd spell up there.

Hmm, I knew he was going to be a replacement for Scott Booth but I didn't realise how perfectly suited he'd be, LOL.

Thanks for the info. So are you looking forward to next season? Most other teams are seriously rebuilding or cost cutting. You guys are out of administration, anything else to be cheery about at Fir Park?

Christ almighty, I'm doomed. Webbie, did I read it right, were they suggesting that I should hate my family and that Hitler was better than God?

Think you misread some of that there Davey (Hell)Boy.
The Hitler bit was taking the lords name in vain or summat like that. (Jebus and god have been used in profanity, but Hitler's wasn't.)
You are pretty much damned if you do and damned if you don't. - If you've even farted in public then you are doomed to eternal damnation according to that website.

Have to forward the site to Gross50, he'll wank himself silly over it.

By the way I'll reserve a seat on the subs bench at Rochdale - aka Hell for you.

Cheery? Depends on how many players we get re-signed I suppose. Most fans will be cheery if we manage to get Keith Lasley re-signed. Other than that, we shall see what the future holds but I certainly don't expect us to have as good a season next year as this one was.

The REALLY good thing is that the pitch is getting ripped up - it's a shambles right now and is the reason I didn't make a final visit to Fir Park on Wednesday. Can't play footie on it.

I would just like to state here and now. I *****ing hate the close season.
I know we've not officially ended the season what with the FA Cup to go, but couldn't give a monkeys about that.

Euro 2004 is a month away, and anyhow I have serious reservations about England making it past the group stages.

did anyone see the latest FIFA rankings?

USA 8th
England 12th
wtf?

Roll on August.

I told the wife I'd apply for citizenship when the US has a better team than England.

yesterday she told me she was going out to get me a new suit and a small flag to wave at the swearing in ceremony.
