    How the fúck would I know. Hadn't even got my fúcking jacket off.
    So basically your mrs is calling you a failure and questioning how the neighbour (she secretly fancies) can afford one, but the loser of the bloke she is with would struggle to aford Peter's old car

    I appreciate that, but that still made him a pale imitation of the type of player we could quite easily purchase from other countries. His being English never endeared him to me at all - quite the reverse, if anything, since he had a full set of all the negative English footballing traits of indiscipline, stupidity and a tendency to think 'putting your foot in' was a virtue even when it meant you kept getting crocked.

    That's the world we live in, I'm afraid; mean-spirited, suspicious and covetous. It's almost as if everyone's completely forgotten the Tenth Commandment

    Essentially I think so.

    Apart from the bit about Peter's Rover. Good lord.

    That's a Wenger issue; a British manager would've binned young Jackie Boy ages ago. Either that or he'd have refused to pick him until he had turned himself into a David Batty or a Billy Bremner. Maybe even a Dennis Wise.

    Yeah, but he was a kid then. Consistency comes with experience.

    He has been pretty consistent in recent years

    I wonder where Peter's Rover is these days? I assume it was scrapped due to being terrible?

    What is he driving now? Probably one of those French jobs with rubber mats taped to the sides, I reckon.

    Oh, it's a common trait, maybe not surprisingly.

    Ninth has taken a bit of a hammering too. And don't start me on the sixth.

    I would imagine it is simply being driven by another gloved sexual predator.
