Cheers. Wonder what he'll say if he's not elected?

Think we know who Tottenham fans will be voting for.

Is this serious?

I would have thought you would need some political experience for a post like this.

lots of potential material in this story , I am far too polite to make any however

It was a PR stunt. And i guess it worked.

I see the one of the guys involved in the racist incident on the Metro is claiming that he pushed the black guy off the train because it was full not because he was black.

Who's he trying to kid.

Adam Johnson's career is over.

I would have thought so.

I guess it depends on the circumstances, whether he knew about her age or not, whether she claimed she was of consenting age or not. I guess if it was a long term incident he's in trouble, a short term one off maybe less so. If he was 17 there wouldn't be a case to answer, 27 there clearly is. Not quite a Graham Rix situation who I think was late thirties and the relationship was more on going. More facts need to come up before the severity of the crime can be judged because whether he knew or not sleeping with a 15 year old is a crime.

Spurs and Scotland legend, Dave MacKay has died.

I remember him. Tough as old boots he was and stood for no nonsense on the pitch.

This is the key issue. John Peel once said that once he had a bit of fame, girls were throwing themselves at him. It was possiblle some of them may have been under age but the way they dressed suggested otherwise and in those situations you don't ask for a birth certificate.

We need to wait for the full facts of the matter. It does go without saying though that if he has had sex with a 15 year old girl then the law has still been broken.

Indeed.
