Baloo

So why wasn't this established on his previous visa applications?

and try to claim some compensation.

Have to agree, he had no agenda and talked football not boll0cks

You were right second time, world class,

So much misplaced loyalty here. Jose has gone. He's now outside the tent pissing in. Support your club instead of perpetually defending a former manager when he has a sly dig. I've got news for you,Jose loves Utd now. And in other news Roman still loves the Chels, what would you rather have?

Can some one explain the medias vehement protection of Harry Redknapp as if he's some kind of national treasure. Correctly sacked for being sh!te the media referred to the news as Harry "parts company" with Birmingham. Then within minutes the mercenary gets his tuppence halfpenny worth on the radio by slagging off his own players and criticising the club for selling players at a loss. What he fails to mention or anyone fails to ask is unlike Zola harry takes the pay off. The greedy b@stard has always been a blameshifter but what I don't get is why Brum fans are dissapointed, I understand the media want to keep him sweet so they can benefit from his wit and unrivaled analytical prowess, do me a favour! He's a self-serving dinosaur FFS spare us of his miserable chops spouting b0llocks.

That was the Pikeys weren't it? What a pathetic excuse of a club, sick of hearing it.

The hype around that shittip is sickening, it was bad enough with West Ham last year but this takes the cake. Can you imagine if they actually win something.

Have to agree with that, she should get the whistle.

Or Tooting and Mitcham perhaps, nothing worse than a politician pretending to like football

Listening to the collective scum on the Sunday Supplement really does show the pathetic sense of self importance that these hacks have. Interesting watching the 2 Sun representatives wriggling and squirming talking about Graham Taylors passing. Instead of taking responsibility for their personal attacks on Taylor they try convince us that Graham Taylor actually thought that Swedes 2 Turnips 1 was a good headline. Really? I was waiting for them to say how much he loved seeing a picture of his head in the shape of a turnip to accompany the headline, Of course Taylor isn't around any longer to refute this...how convenient. Jesus does anyone actually buy this rag?

I think Doherty is just a free spirit and makes a point of being open to anything that stretches him artistically, this allows him to avoid being pigeonholed musically. He refuses to follow any musical code which is a huge part of his appeal in an age when music is so sanitised. I saw him in Birmingham e arlier this year where he had several backdrops of Hancock, I knew he identified with Hancocks addictive personality but didn't know about the Chas n Dave affiliation. New solo album later this year btw

Such an underated writer, I suppose thats what gives him appeal to the likes of us. You will have to elaborate on the Chas n Dave bit .

So who got the Live Aid Freddie Mercury pics?

Haha, Less said about my my higher education the better, I ended up at Roehampton IHE didn't last long ! Didn't realise you were a proper shutterbug you must have seen them all. I'm with Gemma on this, I do actually think he's a musical genius and love that he never sold out. At least he gave her an opening to the business fair play for that. Not sure about Carl Barratt, I have the feeling he'd go mainstream if the money was right. I only ever went to Half Moon once, back in the 80's where I saw Rocket 88 with Charlie Watts on drums .I've long since moved away from London but notice it's still there pretty much unchanged as I pass it on the way to The Bridge. I used to have a drink in Kingston occasionally, don't know the grey horse, but the only band I ever saw there was Mungo Jerry at Kingston College. Am I right in saying Big Country were support to Bowie on the SM tour?
