Paul Scholes isn't even an option. He has no intention of going in to management. Pochettino will probably be the favourite when Mourinho is sacked but it'll take a lot of cash to get him to leave Spurs. I rate him but I think maybe now is the time not to go for a big name and to bring someone in that is an up and coming manager as the club needs a complete overhaul. United haven't won the title for five seasons now and it could easily be another five more if we start from scratch again. I'm willing to wait if the right manager with a long term goal is brought in. I have some sympathy with Mou

I've just booked through Skyscanner for three weeks end of January. £452 with Eva Air which is a great deal. The actual agent that sold me the ticket was Sumo Travel who I'd not heard of before but at that price I don't care. Roll on January 22nd.............

They started off well and put Spurs under a lot of pressure towards the end but it's just not good enough and I'm fed up with the excuses. This is Manchester United we're talking about and they shouldn't be making excuses all the fucking time. The truth is that Sanchez has been fucking awful since he arrived and he's had about four decent games in a United shirt. Too many players are just not playing to the best of their ability and continually putting in substandard performances. A lot of the fans are calling for Giggs to be given the manager's job again. I doubt he'd do any worse than Mourin

He is. The writing is on the wall. He is devoid of ideas and can't get the best out of his players. I can only imagine what Fergie would have done with this group of players because on paper it's a great squad. He signs good players and ruins them with his outdated, negative tactics that are no longer compatible with the modern game. I was always a fan of his and very happy when he became manager but three seasons later and the club is going nowhere under his leadership. By Christmas they'll be about 15 points behind the leaders and he'll be gone. But who do they replace him with?

Oh man I've been stuck there a few times. It's absolute chaos sometimes and if there are some particularly stubborn or selfish cunts caught up in it then it can take several minutes before it clears. I've nearly come a cropper there on a motorbike a few times.

Thanks. I often add books to my reading list not because I think I would be interested in them but because I feel as if they are books that I should read just so that I can comment from experience in an intellectual conversation. I've read many classics on that premise. There are so many popular contemporary authors that I won't read because I consider them to be too pulpy. A bit of a book snob but that's me. I've also been reading long enough to know that it's harder to predict whether you'll like a book than you think it would be - I've read many that I'd thought I'd like but didn't, and sim

I haven't stayed there but the bar was somewhere I'd often go to for a few cheap ones in the afternoon. The bar is a bit of a dive so it would put me off staying in the rooms. That part of the Soi is liable to be really noisy too because it's on a bend and a part of the Soi which is often congested.

Usually I book through an agent. I use Skyscanner and then I'll use whichever agent is selling the ticket for my preferred flight. However, the last two times I've been to Thailand I have booked direct from the airline because I wanted to by a ticket that was changeable because I wasn't sure when the return flight would be.

Billy Crystal

Awful film that starred Al Pacino

I'm not really the man to ask. The only contemporary fiction I read is by Irvine Welsh and Will Self. Both are brilliant writers but they're not everyone's cup of tea. Nearly all Irvine Welsh novels are written in a raw Edinburgh dialect which can be hard going to begin with. When you read a Will Self novel you need a dictionary close to hand because he has the largest vocabulary of any writer I've ever come across. A real character and sometimes very funny. I may check that out one day. I'll add that to my list. I'm a big fan of Christopher Hitchens and "God Is

I forgot all about this thread. Tom Wolfe was a brilliant writer and The Bonfire of the Vanities and A Man In Full are two of my favourite books. I'd just finished reading another novel of his - I Am Charlotte Simmons when I last posted in this thread.

I become less passionate about football with every year that goes by. It's been ruined by money. I think this is the least interested in a football season I've been in my whole football supporting life and last season was the first time in as long as I can remember I didn't go to Old Trafford to watch a game, although I was in Thailand for a large part of the season. As much as I hate to admit it, it'll be City that will win it again because their squad is so much better than every other club and the football they play is far superior to everyone else too. Liverpool won't be far behind, Klopp

Great film which starred Jared Leto

Yes that's just one of his many endearing credentials.

I wouldn't want to have any association with a forum where Mulphy is a co-owner or has any influence on the moderation or decision making of the forum. It would also go against the ethos of this forum considering Mulphy and Martin didn't get along. A no for me and I would stop posting if it happened.

So Mulphy doesn't own the forum any more and it's not affiliated with the Rock House now?

Are you fucking serious? Don't you have to pay a subscription to Pattaya Live and kiss the arse of it's owner if you want to post on that forum? It's also heavily censored and anyone who disagrees with the owner about anything risks being banned?

Waiting for my luggage when I go to and from any country is always an anxious time for me. Most of my clothes are expensive labels and except for the first time I went to Thailand I haven't had travel insurance since. A few times my luggage was almost the last to arrive which was stressful but no problems so far. Maybe my luck will run out one day.
