Paul Gascoigne

Edit - just realised it was the semi-final when he scored that outrageous free kick.

I think the only way to put the tourism theory to the test is to abolish the monarchy and then see what the results are, over the course of about 50 years.

That seems to be the time frame that's been decided for judging the outcomes of big, radical changes to our constitution.

I have seen stuff online that every Monday morning he had breakfast in the WTC but on 9/11 he supposedly and conveniently had a dentist's appointment. However I cannot find anything to corroborate that story. It could just be malicious gossip to discredit Silverstein. Unless proved otherwise I have...

But are we being told the whole truth? Not always. Is there an agenda for the people who donate to political parties? Does the government have the best interests of its people at the forefront? Does Rishi Sunak or Kier Starmer give a **** about you and your family? That sort of thing has been happe...

He's a player that thrives in teams that dominate possession. I don't think he's played a game this season where that was ever going to be the case: Man City Aston Villa Tottenham France Netherlands Let's wait and see how he (and the rest of our players) looks after we've played everyone in this lea...

Deeney must not care about the future generations of his family. Not like Henderson.

I've been calling for Taylor to start from day one. Taylor was our only left back last season too, but we were so dominant that we could manage without him to instead enhance our attacking capability (Maatsen). While it would be nice to do similar in the EPL that isn't going to be the case in >30% ...

I don't disagree that Taylor needs to come in, simply because he's the only left-back we've got. But Taylor wasn't deemed good enough to play at left-back for most of last season in a lower league. The fact we're all clamouring for him to start in the top flight just shows how badly we've dropped th...

Muric has a full season of Championship football under his belt (in a team that won the league). Trafford hasn't played regularly above League One level. It shows. We need to tighten up and that starts with picking your best players at the back. No need to overthink this one. I think Trafford will g...

He's a talented young player in a squad full of youngsters. He probably feels this season is his big chance to break into the Chelsea team. It's not the Chelsea of old, full of experienced megastars etc. There are places up for grabs. Good luck to him. He was excellent when on loan with us and he de...

Two home games in and the knuckle-dragging part of town has managed to make the national news and damage the club's image each time.

Maybe it will be third time lucky against Spurs and the game will pass without incident.

These idiots really aren’t that clever to specifically target the Villa team coach. It’s not emblazoned with emblems or signage, it’s just a dark grey/black coach with I think ‘Birmingham International’ on the side. When it was parked outside the Longside after the game it had a sign saying Aston V...

It all looks a bit disjointed at the moment, but they've only played two competitive games together, against very good opposition. I think we're missing some key defenders and haven't really got our shape right yet, but there are enough positive signs there. I just hope this tough run of games doesn...

You’d be hard pressed to find many people truthfully say they wouldn’t do something they love doing for a couple of years and they got a stupid amount of money for doing it. We’ll never be in that position but if we were, no doubt we’d be making sure the air con was on ready for our arrival to the ...

What he did after the game was completely inappropriate, as was his crotch-grabbing antics during the game, as was his humiliating outburst yesterday.

He's clearly unfit for the role and should be a gonner.

The final season of Snowfall has just appeared on the iPlayer. Been a great series, doesn't seem to get any hype, reckon if it was on Netflix everybody would be raving about it.

I'd never even heard of this. Half way through the second series now. It's absolutely brilliant.

If the LIV golf / PGA debacle is anything to go by there's only so long the traditional competitions will be able to fight off the Saudi juggernaut before allowing them to take a large slice of the pie.

In the 3 previous seasons he played in 110 of the 112 league games and scored 53 goals in the German top division where his character and temperament were obviously ok. Transfers are a lot easier with hindsight But when we bought him he had fallen out of favour and was training with the reserves. W...

He was a panic buy. Nothing more than that. A mistake that we're still living with.

Another season long loan is probably the best we could hope for.

Town centers are now a thing of the past unfortunately. To try and halt their demise is both costly and foolish. A huge combination of factors, mainly technology progress, has contributed to every towns troubles. The reasons for their decline can be discussed and analysed but not reversed. Large sc...

Funny how they were singing Steve Waggott's praises when he was the one who helped to restrict our ticket allocation, now they want him out. Probably could've done with that extra money now, eh lads?

Missed out on about £200k and ended up losing the game anyway. What a genius.

I think the decision is being managed very poorly. I also think there are too many people with a vested interested in the whole thing failing rather than actually trying their level best to make it a success.

And which people would they be?

It doesn't matter what your politics are - raking in almost £1 billion in profit while millions of families in our country struggle to heat their homes in the colder months is obscene. But that is some people's politics. Slaves to private capital and profit, at any cost. This is what some people ac...

But Burnley has tonnes of positives going for it. You've only got to walk 10 minutes from most places in Burnley and you're in stunning countryside

Speak for yourself. It takes me at least 5 minutes to find my way out of my cave.

I don't rate Weghorst and I hope we manage to move him on, but booing him onto the pitch and then abusing him is just shite.

Why go all that way, for a friendly, to boo and abuse one of your own players? Just bizarre.

I don’t understand why football fans suddenly find a moral compass when it comes to a betting sponsor.

The game is literally rancid behind the scenes this is the least of anyone’s worries.

Does the rancid stuff that goes on behind the scenes lead to hundreds of suicides a year?

People who aren't very good for United might well be good enough for Burnley I'm not sure in this case. If anything, a limited player in a decent side surrounded by good players should be able to get away with it more. The fact that he was still bobbins despite being surrounded by quality players d...

I'm not sure if he'll be a great fit for us with the way we play, but I'm confident Kompany will know after working with him on the training ground. If he thinks he can do a job then that's good enough for me.

Ali is one of the best players I've seen on the Turf during our PL years. He was absolutely sublime in their 3-0 win in 2017. We couldn't get anywhere near him.

It's a real shame how his career has deteriorated since then and hopefully he can still get somewhere close to his previous level.

The Wolf of Wall Street is dross. A real stinker.

It may be part of my holiday next year, so I just want to hear people's experiences of a place I've never visited.

Thanks in advance.
