Subjects totally unacceptable for comedy:
Geoff Boycott becoming England coach
You’ve crossed a line with this one KC. I feel physically sick. You owe an apology to me, to cricket, to right-minded people everywhere, and to Patrice Evra (probably, it seems to be the thing).
And while I was writing this England lost two wickets in two balls, so you owe them an apology as well.
Sorry Patrice. Sorry England.
Yesterday you were talking about Lancastrianess like it was some sort of virtue, now you are abusing Sir Geoff!
There is more than one uncrossable line.
There is indeed more than one uncrossable line, Smudge, but that line isn’t a line that must never remain without being uncrossed, either from both sides or from the side facing in the opposite direction. And I think we all know which one that is, don’t we?
Strum a few chords to that last post and it could almost be Dylan.
“ha…aaa…….OoooK!”
Has anyone ever said anything so wise about one of your pieces?
You don’t get many OoooK!s these days. We feel honoured to have received one.
I’m more pissed off with England today than I have been up to this point. Why can’t they understand we want them to win the tests and couldn’t give a monkey’s about the ODIs? They’ve got it all arse about face. I’d rather they were just uniformly useless and lost everything.
Only 2 of the first 7 comments at Cricinfo took the article seriously. Your standards are slipping.
No, it’s okay. We got loads of people contacting us about it via Twitter. One guy described it as ‘bias drivel’.
Bias drivel, this.
