I had no idea who he was before he died.
I just knew him as one of the many rent-a-pundits I see on sofas talking bollocks.

yep, but then presumably you are a mere child.
That or you watched no football at all from about 1990 to 2006ish.

"like" might be over-egging the pudding a bit
"pity" is closer to the core of it.

That's quite an achievement
unless you have no interest in football, in which case it makes sense.

I like football a lot,
I just have no memory for names and usually turn it off as soon as the games over.

In that case, it really is quite an achievement.

There are only 5 players to have played more than 500 games in Premier League
of which Speed is one, so that's a SPECTACULARLY bad memory.

black isle is grey criss-cross on black background, isn't it?
so aim for where two grey heavy bands overlap. It's almost white. It's just quite a small target.

She's the woman who stole used condoms from her partner to get pregnant

( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Tue 6 Dec 2011, 10:50, Reply)

Didn't you see
the weapons-grade mental (and I mean weapons-grade by her standards, not the rest of us) article she wrote about being so desperate for a baby that she was harvesting spunk on the sly from the used condoms after blokes shagged her and shoving it back up there? And how no man should trust a woman not to do that because really ALL WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT, THE MENTALLY UNSTABLE BABY FACTORIES?

Terrifying. Regardless of whether it's true or not, the state of her mind is remarkable.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 6 Dec 2011, 10:52, Reply)

But I've been told that she's actually just very clever and this entire thing is an elaborate joke
