“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
It's such a blindingly obvious truth and yet no-one wants to concede it. All that's actually been achieved here is that a generation of young gay (mostly) men have had the process of learning to deal with their sexuality severely impaired and retarded by giving those who are struggling with it a spurious and damaging option of pretending they're actually women. There'll be hell to pay for it in 20 years' time.
I used to play scrum half until I was about 15. It sort of worked because it rewarded sneakiness and a modicum of physical courage but didn't require one to be particularly quick. Then the forwards started growing to enormous heights while I remained resolutely of average height, so I thought 'bugger that' and have never stepped onto a rugby field again.
I sat next to Matt Dawson at a charity dinner once and he was absolutely delightful company. Also at the table were Will Carling and wossisname, the big lad. Martin Johnson. Both Dawson and Johnson referred to Carling with the moniker 'Bum Face', I remember, which was entirely appropriate.
Grand bunch of lads.
I got horrifically píssed and bid £1,000 for the use of a Bentley for a weekend, which prize I never colllected. Why the fúck would I want a Bentley for the weekend?
I hate drinking.
