""I used to love coming home from the pub and seeing Brian Clough's teams beat everyone else on Match of the Day. And watch the Test Match, on the Beeb with sensible comments between the overs instead of adverts.

Before that bugger sold it all to Murdoch. That was the trouble that bugger with her shopping basket, she had no sense of what was important. Everything ordinary people liked, it had no value. Only a price, she could flog it off for. ""

Enlighten us Al.

Just when did that "bugger" take control of the FA, the ICC, F1 management etc, so that she could sell them to Murdoch.

An interesting, if somewhat hysterical, theory, but I believe she was long gone when we lost test matches and half of F1, and I don't think she was ever on the board of the Football Association.

I too am incensed by the acquisition by Murdoch of what should be free-to-air, but I tend to target my anger at those who could actually have stopped it happening, and "that bugger" wasn't one of them.
