I never really liked him, I can't really remember what first made me think he was a bit of a nob but seeing how he handled the Beckham thing definitely confirmed my opinion.

I think we'll lose another 2, possibly 3. One will be to a good team buy I suspect there'll be a shock loss or 2 along the way where we just have an off day.

Yeah, I did think hearing that he surely can't be so niave to think thousands (if not millions) of people do that every day for shit money.

I loved Drinky, I was gutted when he went. Listening to the podcast is like a cautionary tale of exactly how not to deal with being a successful footballer, but I also think that a lot of people forget the human side of it. I'm not going to be crying him a river, but I think there are a lot of lads who grow up in academies and at some point get thrust in to the spotlight of the PL and then get ruthlessly cast aside a short time later. He's far from the only player at Chelsea, Man City & Man United recently who has been bought for tens of millions, only to become cannon fodder for the next manager. I don't imagine mentally that that is easy to deal with and it seems with DD the passion/commitment/enjoyment simply wasn't there. Clearly Drinky struggled where others have done a better job and it does sound like he probably hasn't fully accepted his own role in it all, but I was struck by his reference to being angry and not being able to deal with things very well emotionally. It strikes me as a plight I think many young men probably struggle with. The only difference is no-one is paying attention to your average bloke going to a job he hates and deal with complicated life stuff because he isn't earning an obscene amount of money. It's a shame it all went so tits up for him after he left.

I think Soulsby is a little too old for Vaz isn't he? Saying that I reckon he would make a pretty good washing machine repair man wouldn't he... "I'm sorry Mr Vaz, but you're going to have to find some way to repay me for these extra works..."

Did you notice anything before you applied the adhesive there? It may be that there was/is a higher moisture content in that area around the window head and that's meant the adhesive has not set so well.
