The debate actually turned out to be good, and I’m happy that Mr. Stevens and I went along. Caught some interesting Manchester City/John Terry gossip that I’m contemplating sharing with the papers as well.

You can watch the debate below; should be live for another 28 days or so. Paul and I are in the United shirts and Green & Gold scarves; yours truly in the glasses. Shame I didn’t get an immediate answer to my question, but it got answered eventually!

Welcome any comments about the debate!


Today is day two of my ‘Very Long and Tiring Week ™’, but I’m delighted to welcome my partner in crime HRH Paul Stevens to Manchester this evening to join me in the audience for the BBC ‘Business in Sport’ event that is being broadcast on BBC News (24?) and BBC Radio 5 Live from 8pm. The recent business dealings of Manchester United, Portsmouth and Liverpool will feature heavily no doubt.

Mark Pougatch, presenter of 5 Live’s flagship football programming is hosting the event at the Manchester Convention Centre at GMEX. The BBC Sport & Business editors are due to appear amongst other guests. Given that the event also coincides with day one of the annual Soccerex Europe conference which is also held at the same venue, I’m hoping that some big names are pulled into the debate.

I doubt however that David Gill, Chief Executive of Man United will appear. He’ll want to confine himself to the more comfortable and pressure free surroundings of the Soccerex conference on Wednesday, where he is a guest speaker and I believe he will be attempting to staunchly defend the Glazer take-over and subsequent bond issue etcetera.

Unfortunately, £795.00 to heckle is a little pricey.

I’ll be tweeting the event (with pictures) on my Twitter account, and it promises to be an interesting evening.


I’ve just come across this trailer on GamerTrailers.com, and as a self-confessed Transformers geek this is definitely one game I’ll be getting on the 360 when it is released in the summer! Enjoy, and use the full screen option!


Now that David Tennant has left the TARDIS, we have this to look forward to..


I’ve seen some funny things in my time, I really have. Star Wars kid has been and gone, as have the GI Joe parodies and a number of other internet funnies. However, short film-maker Richard Gale has completely blown away everything I’ve seen and set a new standard. If anything beats this in the next few years I’ll show my arse in a Tesco advert. I’m posting this about a week late as I’ve been too distracted to blog.

Richard Gale presents: ‘The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon’. Check it out and prepare to reconnect your ass, as it may fall off.
