This week, Alex Salmond held discussions with David Cameron about the terms of a referendum on
independence, and Cameron launched his own pleas in defence of the Union. It's a story that has
been dominating the headlines for weeks in Scotland not unreasonably but this week, Cameron was
unlucky with his timing.

As Prime Minister David Cameron wibble-wibbled his way through a speech on welfare at some indistinguishable Tory wibblefest, it became incredibly obvious to a few observers that the rousing finale of Cameron's wibble-wobble appeared to be lifted almost word-for-word from the press conference scene in Mike Bassett: England Manager.
Oh look, Cameron gets asked a question which irks him and straight away resorts to nasty jibes and
insults. It does seem to me that Cameron sees the House of Commons as a bothersome inconvenience
distracting him from gala lunches and cosy meetings at Chequers.
Prime Minister David Cameron has been under considerable pressure in recent weeks, so when he needed to find some inspirational words he decided to borrow some belonging to everyone's favourite fictional England manager, Mike Bassett. Via 101GG
Prime minister David Cameron has apologised to the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster and at last given official confirmation that Reds supporters did not cause the deaths. The apology follows the release of thousands of previously unseen government files relating to the 1989 disaster.

This was how we looked after the game, too. Only instead of a medal, we had shot glasses on our
foreheads.
Wahey the Chelsea!
The Champions League final has been twelve months in the planning. For the last couple of weeks,
there's been talk of little else in the footballing world.
Which is why, instead of forcing the celebrations into an ill-advised second day, Kickette will
be launching an enquiry into how our staffers managed to arrive at the pub late, failed to get a
seat, drank too much to compensate and then collapsed on 64 mins.
With slightly less than two months before the end of the season – or almost four, for those of
you who care about international football – it's fair to say that 2012 will be remembered as the
year of the strikers – or, as David Cameron would put it, the year of the strikes. But [...]

team Vitosha Bistritsa, comfortably beat Dimitar Berbatov into second place, with the Man Utd
striker polling 24% of the votes.
Well that couldn't look any more damning could it. Disgusting is the word for it. The Conservative
party treasurer (not some rogue underling or eager young loose cannon fundraiser) telling foreign
businessmen, who aren't legally allowed to donate to uk political parties remember, to pay 250k for
shady private dinners with David Cameron at 10 Downing Street.
The blogosphere is having a field day with Charlie Brooks column in the Telegraph today ahead of

Is this David Cameron's 'excited' face or is this?
Who cares if England's Prime Minister supports Chelsea or not that didn't stop him from
squealing like a giddy fangirl to the press after a recent run-in with Frank Lampard at an awards
gala.
As he told Now magazine:
"I saw Frank Lampard last night at an awards even, which was exciting for me.

Indonesian football stands on a precipice as the game in the world's largest archipelago lurches
from one disaster to another as effortlessly as David Cameron switches position based upon an
unfavourable poll.
Heartily pissed off with the perma mess that surrounds football, the interminably late salaries and
the contempt shown by many clubs, the players, under the guise of the footballer's union, APPI, are
edging closer to a strike that could further paralyse a game that is already on a life support
machine with the nurses on lunch break.
When questions about your football club are raised in Westminster and the Prime Minister agrees
that the situation needs investigation then you know you are in a bad way. Not because you might be
investigated but because the Prime Minister actually knows what Penny Mordaunt, MP for Portsmouth
North, is talking about.
An anthology based on the Mark's writings for CFCnet and the legendary cfcuk fanzine, Chelsea
Chronicles - volume one - captures in heartfelt, humorous, diary-format prose a period in Blues
history when many fans couldn't quite believe what was going on at Stamford Bridge.
From the glory of the back-to-back title under Mourinho, through the ridiculous reigns of Grant and

One of these men is effectively responsible for the reputation, economic stability and global
perception of a vast European superpower.
A very negative team and performance from Villa resulted in a very comfortable performance from
Spurs and a score line that flattered Villa. David Cameron had braved the Tottenham wastelands to
sit in the stands and watch his lot get outplayed. No doubt getting tips from Spurs on how to
control the right and left wings.
