Everton Watch

Duxbury should be shot for apologising to that jug-eared c u n t (sometimes swerving the swear filter is essential).

His weird bug-eyed sons can **** off too. Don't drink when you're pregnant folks

 

It was Lineker who criticised the Club, and indirectly Gracia via Twitter (and on TV), and all the tweet said was "This aged well..."

No sorry, we'll have agree to disagree on that. Lineker must be a right wimp!

 

RC, bravo on the clarity of your position.

Lineker's response is characteristically bullying, pompous & thin skinned.

He thinks himself a national treasure.

Actually, he is no more than a regional ****.

 

What an unfortunate photo.
The two lads are unlucky that the John Hiatt line "Lucky for you kid (s),you look like your Mother" doesn't apply in their cases.
Most unsightly trio,I'm glad I've finished supper!

 

My mate one met Lineacre, he reckoned he was a right knobber.

 

I have met a variety of people in many walks of life who have met or have worked with GL.
They all have said he is a very nasty piece of work.

 

I've never met, nor knowingly known anyone who has met Jug Ears........however, in my distant youth I delivered a pizza once to Matthew Corbett, son of Harry Corbett and inheritor of Sooty & Sweep, and my goodness a meaner more nasty person have I yet to meet. He is in kid's entertainment ffs and I wasn't much more than a kid then myself.

 

I nearly spat out my cornflakes when I read this. I had to read it three times before I realised you wrote GL (not GT).

 

Probably resentful that his father was more popular?

Major incident avoided!
The people that were hostile towards GL ranged from someone who worked at the BBC and knew he had clauses in his contract to keep quiet his less than honourable behaviour. Another was a late middle aged lady I met at the park behind the club.Her grandson had been at Spurs and she said,unprompted,"they were all so lovely,apart from Gary Lineker,who was vile".
I try not to be too judgemental but he appears to be a conceited,self obsessed,opinionated,good for nothing slimey hair ball of a creature.

 

I'd concur with - and I've never met the guy...

 

When I was a kid, Willie Rushton was the 'big' name in a charity cricket match played on Croxley Fields.

At the end of the game, my fellow starstruck youth and I bounded up gleefully to him, to ask him for his autograph etc. Miserable, unfunny, overweight, public school, beardy git put his head down, ignored everyone and marched off at a rapid pace whilst muttering aggressively.

Never forgiven him for that. He was also a rubbish cricketer.


Rushton - Intolerant of Children and Twatman rather than Batsman

 

I just took a look at his Wikipedia page and this might help explain it: Rushton had always been conscious of his weight, listing his recreations in Who's Who as "gaining weight, losing weight and parking", and in 1973 he had been the host of a slimming programme, Don't Just Sit There. His first major health scare had been the onset of diabetes (the cause of his father's death in 1958). Having to give up beer, Rushton became, according to Ingrams, "quite grumpy as a result, but his grumpiness had an admirable and jaunty quality to it."[citation needed] A sudden loss of three stone had prevented him from playing in Prince Rainier's XI at Monte Carlo, Monaco. Rushton was always passionate about cricket. His father had sent him for coaching at Lord's before he went to Shrewsbury. His cricket and general knowledge were called upon in his role as a regular team captain on BBC Radio 4's quiz show Trivia Test Match with Tim Rice and Brian Johnston, which ran from 1986 to 1993. Rushton was always an enthusiastic cricketer, playing in the Lord's Taverners, a charity celebrity cricket team.

Maybe you can forgive him a little when you read this: Rushton had previous experience with the V&A when he had pulled a prank on the institution by labeling an electric plug socket in one of the galleries: "Plug hole designed by Hans Plug (b. 1908)", which remained for a full year – to the great annoyance of a cleaner who had to use a hefty extension lead for 12 months so as not to damage the exhibit.

 

Pictured shortly before he formed Wizzard.

 

Why not. It was about 50 years ago now and he's been dead for nearly 25 years.

I think you're right and it's time to let bygones be bygones.

 

Not inconceivable that they lose to Millwall. Then its Huddersfield and their new man away so I'd make them outsiders for that one. They may well beat Wolves at Goodison but then its a trip to Vicarage Road and then a thumping by Man City.

Lump on him being sacked on the evening of February 23rd...

 

I don't think you can blame him for being public school. His parents probably made that decision, not Willie himself.

DISCLOSURE: I went to a boys' grammar school as a result of selection, not a comprehensive open to all. Should I apologise?

FURTHER DISCLOSURE: Although I benefited greatly in two ways, I hated it.

 

Bulldoze the statue!

 

A cake & eater, Lynacre.

A central casting Little Man.

The ridiculous supine coterie with which he surrounds himself on MOTD.

 

What were the two ways?

 

Before a judgment is passed, one needs context.

Clive, when approaching the great man, how was your appearance & demeanour?

Any trace of an SWP rosette or some such which might have caused him to flinch?

 

Like anyone who could play the piano or sing in tune, I was bullied into taking up an orchestral instrument. This has given me decades of delight (except when final rehearsals before concerts take place on Saturday afternoons).

The school's main interest was getting 15 people into Cambridge each year. I was one.

 

Were you the drummer guy at the back of the rookery ?
Beck and Claridge went to Cambridge. It's nothing to boast about...

 

Ah, the polytechnic of the Fens.

 

Thanks. My childhood shattered now.

 

I've heard that Sooty too can be a real b****** especially when he has a few too many. Big mouthed prima donna.

 

Booked tickets, flights and hotel for the Everton game. My earnest wish is that Silva survives in his job and Everton get comprehensively dismissed at the Vic on Sat 9th, Richie has a mare, Silva gets his marching orders before MofTD, I fly back to Ireland a happy man on Sunday and we still pursue Everton for compensation.

 

How wonderful it would be if Silva ended up being sacked by them before we nail them for compo.

Truly delicious.

 

I reckon they'll try and claim he's a **** manager and that the poor form 'which was detrimental to the future of our club' had nothing to do with them.

 

My meeja chums were always "amused" about this. They used to reckon that he built his entire "nice guy" persona supplying "snippets" to hacks and trading his "access to stars" so his extra-curricula activities weren't widely known to such an extent that the usual gaggle of "...kiss 'n' tell..." merchants wouldn't go near him as no tabloid had the slightest interest in buy their "...tales of passion woe...".

 

Something I always found "odd"/sad about him was that he always seemed to "...hang onto the coat-tails..." of the Footlights Crowd who dominated British comedy. Being too thick unable to pass 'o' level maths (he was even given a "by" in the entrance exxam if he managed to pass biology*) he couldn't get in but he still followed Christopher Booker and Richard Ingrams "up there"... Having met quite a few public school and straight to Oxbridge types I imagine they endlessly gave him **** about his failure.

*Old School Tie Network "at work" - just like Cameron (who was given a "by" for the "E" part of his PPE degree because of his "...severe dyscalculia...").

 

This is bollox - along with his "publicising" of London's best kept tourist secret: the echo across the reading room of the (old) British Library reading room and his best selling book for the Xmas market (based on the fact that the most sold books for gifts were about cats, the Nazis and golf) "Golfing Nazi Cats".

 

No. More hair, less talent. But I have worn a lot of different shirts at Watford matches
