Rod Liddle, just as Damon described - he looks like he has bad breath...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/6749156/Rod-Liddle-accused-of-racism-for-blog.html
Also, whenever I see him he calls me `mate' because he can't remember my name. We all like people who do that.

He is fat, ugly and has bad breath. Annoyingly his wife is clever, funny and very fit

Quote from: eamonn on January 09, 2011, 09:13:24 PMWhen he took over he had better players than most remember. The main reason for us being so bad in 05/06 was Doolally's failure to get the best of a squad containing Thomas Sorensen, Martin Laursen, Olof Mellberg, Wild Willy Bouma, Gareth Barry, Steve Davis, Milan Baros and Juan Pablo Angel. A talented spine.Allied to talented players who had fallen away - Samuel, Hendrie, (who MON apparently had a knack of getting the best from), some very talented youngsters - Cahill, Moore, Agbonlahor, solid and steady players - McCann, Hughes and a bit of experienced flair on the bench - Berger and Phillips...to be honest not too far off the quality Houllier arrived to find. O'Neill had a bit more time at the start and the signing of Petrov to hit the ground running. The argument that he had to rebuild from scratch doesn't ring true to me - he had a good mixture of experience and talent to work with. I think you just have to look at where those players went when they left us to see how good they were. Laursen, Mellberg and Barry I give you, but the rest went to retirement in America, bottom half PL clubs and Scotland. It was a poor squad that needed the overhaul it got thanks to Randy's cash.

... given the utter disdain with which the top clubs regard the worlds oldest and most venerable football tounament. ( A suggestion for Aston Villa:you're not going to win the league. Why not have a stab at a perfectly decent consolation prize ? )
