the fact that Brady who is a hideous specimen of the female had a big hand in this leaves me with no joy at all

How did she have a hand in it? Keys made a remark about her, she wasn't there. It's not her fault any more than it's Sian Massey's and God knows I'm no admirer of Karren Brady
she used her column in the "Sun" to plie on the pressure, has played the agrieved party, has been quoted

She was the aggrieved party, though.

She is entitled to feel aggrieved, wouldn't you say? And entitled to have her say? We've all had our say, and we're totally irrelevant.

Keys resigned. Even he knows he was in the wrong. And you're still trying to make a case for him.

One thing I have noticed in the reportage of this event is that Andy Gray is always referred to as a 'former Everton striker'. I don't think I havr ever heard any reference to his Villa career, which I thought a bit weird for one of our most high profile former players.

The Big Sam on Twitter continues to be one of the funniest things on that there internet.

heBig_Sam BigSam
Met Richard Keys for gazpacho earlier. The lad was in bits. Tears flowed like a Peruvian river, winding its way around a village of sadness.

TheBig_Sam BigSam
He looks awful. He hasn't shaved since it all kicked off. And that's a big thing for Keysy. He looks like Teen Wolf in a sports jacket.

TheBig_Sam BigSam
"What am I gonna do?!" he whimpered with big panda eyes. "What will become of me, oh Lord??"

TheBig_Sam BigSam
Didn't know if he was talking to me or God. He's never called me "Lord" before.

TheBig_Sam BigSam
I just held him close and tickled him. Big Sam is a powerful entity but I can't make all the bad things go away.

TheBig_Sam BigSam
The truth is, I fear for him. If he's not careful he'll be selling cubic zirconia on QVC with some perm-headed wench by the end of the year.

I'm pleased. He is dead to me (makes Tony Soprano-style cutting gesture)

i am not trying to make a case for him, i am trying to make a point that what he said about Brady is a matter of interpretation, here is a media attention grabing tart who uses her so called celebrity status to spout her un informed and self promoting opinions who then spouts her  self righteous indignation about a comment "do me a favour love" the hypocrisy of this odious woman knows no bounds. And by the way I have some knowledge about her and her dealings

What has any of that got to do with her being a woman, though?

And you casually throw in the term "tart" there - that's exactly the sort of thing she gets the hump with, and she's right to do so.

I don't like her either, but I don't feel that way about her because she's a woman. Some of the stuff that gets posted on here about her - slag this, slut that, fucking this player, fucking that one - is really cringemaking. Keysworthy.

I think you may be letting your dislike of Karren Brady get in the way of the facts here. If he made an offensive remark about her - and Keys clearly accepts that it's offensive because he tried to apologise - then she's allowed to be offended.

There is no law that states that, just because he's sorry, she's not allowed to be pissed off.

Keysworthy.

This new word has given me an idea. Can we have a word filter for 'banter' please? Everytime someone types it, it ought to read 'talking shit' or something. More suggestions please.

I was about to post that up - he also added -

I was very clear with him about one thing though - if any leak should surface showing him being abusive to Natalie Sawyer, I'll destroy him.

I love Keysy & Andy, but any evidence they've besmirched that raven-haired angel and I'll create havoc with their world with fire and rage.

@nataliesawyer I'd do anything for you, my sweet princess. I am Costner to your Whitney Houston.

Show me a woman that isn't pissed off with a man.

Woops.

Why? There's nothing wrong with banter. The problem is that people use 'banter' as a substitute for bullying, teasing and abusing others whilst thinking they're clever and very funny. Banter is good humoured exchanges with no malice intended.
