Not too sure about the advisibility of firing your biggest gun first. That opening sentence was probably your finest yet, and presumably heralds a slow drift to oblivion

Not sure whether Reidy is a floater or a sinker, however we do know he's....

Definitely a floater, his only problem when swimming is having the harpoons removed.

...his finest sentence yet followed immediately by one containing "Imvincibles".

It's OK, we Gaurniad types are well versed in the reading of typos whereas you Daily Mail readers believe the only word beginning with "im" is immigrants.

That's the slow drift for you. Cheer up, it's only going to get worse.

You've spelled Gaurniad wrong. It's Grauniad.

The 'triangles and points' line appealed to me in ways which I cannot easily describe and then "Imvincibles" happened.

It's like the sudden onset of sober clarity post-nightclub, when you realise what you've done, at the very moment you roll off a ten-pint munter.

Imagine how disappointed she must feel 666.

Absolutely brilliant Vidal, that first sentence is a belter.

Imagine the relief she must feel at being able to breathe again.

5 from me

Good entertaining read - as always.

Succinct appraisal of the world which is Derby County but I must have missed the bit about Chris Powell???

Grauniad readers with typos must be tired and emotional after this. I think we should be told.

5🌟s from me.

Would have been 5 * but any mention of the Chuckles is a criminal offence so only 3* from me.

The triangles/3 points was very clever. Who was it stolen from?

The Dirties, Usain Bolt, Jeremy Corbyn and Chinese macro-economics all in one paragraph. Audacious range for a weekly summary on Derby County's activities. Only fitting for such a global brand!

We played Pooh Sticks when we wa kids but it didn't involve dropping a stick into a river,it involved being chased by a person with something nasty on the end of said stick...i'll leave the rest to your imaginations.

Was that known as brown holing Ricky. I seem to remember a game where the stick was poked at the victim's bottom to make it appear like they had an unfortunate accident. It definitely wouldn't have been called pooh sticks.

No spart your off track there, substitute the word Pooh for something like hit but add a S before hit .The hit being Dogs Or Cows,we were crude sods back in the 60s.

Cows had to be herded off our school pitch before matches. Believe me, no one dived in those days, and for good reason

Well, we threw everything at Blackburn.
They say if you throw enough pooh, some will inevitably stick.
This was very clever, Vidal! 5★

I genuinely think Blackburn have been pooh for thirty years. No, make that forty.
Shltty barstards.
