  2. I know one young man who's been on tenterhooks all week, terrified that when it came to the crunch, he'd be stood up and dumped at the last minute…… But it looks like André Villas-Boas is safe as Chelsea manager for a week or so at least...

  4. Sometimes, sorry really is the hardest word, and it takes a big man a lot of guts to say it. No, I'm not talking about Carlos Tevez of Manchester City. I'm apologising in advance for my dancing later this evening…..

  5. The new Sun on Sunday came out last weekend, giving us seven days of rubbish instead of just six. (i.for a sunny day) Fortunately it's the other sun which is shining on Diane and Adrian today - and long may it continue.

Well, he took them all the way to Europe, their performance was a disgrace, and they lost all hope of further progress… sorry, I'm making a speech to the Arsenal supporter's club tomorrow and I've got my notes on Arsène Wenger mixed up with the ones for the wedding. (gathers composure, starts afresh) What can I say about Dave's stag weekend in Prague? He took them all the way to Europe, their performance was a disgrace, and they lost all hope of further progress….
