Roy Keane ready to run away (again)

Roy Keane should keep his mouth shut and concentrate on the job he is paid to do.  That was true when he was a player and it is true now that he is a manager.
The first true crisis he faces with Sunderland and he immediately starts talking about bailing out.  Just what the club needs [...]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

Karl Rove finds Barack Obama’s choice of economic advisers “reassuring”.
Now that’s worrying.

Nothing new there, then

Apparently Harney and Drumm expect 2009 to be a “challenging year” for the Health Service.
As opposed to what?  The wonderful years the Health Service has enjoyed up to now?

At the risk of being accused of making this a personal issue, would there be the same deafening silence if Mary Harney were a heavy smoker?  Or would her obesity be so steadfastly ignored if she were a [...]

Fas has a new client

Rody’s done the decent thing.  Eventually.

Bad News for Rangers!

Celtic are free to concentrate on domestic competitions for the rest of the season.
