On flags and national loyalty

How far will Gordon Brown go to prove himself geographically eligible to be the PM? He has already said that he will be supporting England at the world cup, and that Gazza’s goal against Scotland was his favourit football moment. I think that he will state that the Jacobites had it coming to them in 1745.

Alex Salmond, the SNP's leader said "I can't believe that any genuine Scottish football fan could believe that a goal scored against us was his most memorable moment.” Alex you have got it back to front, he probably is a genuine Scottish football fan, it the support for England that is made up.

This whole attempt to re-brand Brown highlights the very reason that I am increasingly confident that he will never be PM. The people that he has around him have no subtlty at all. This is the most obvious, cackhanded makeover that I have ever seen and if they can't get this right what make you think that they can get anything right.

The Arctic Monkeys for breakfast, oh please

What about the 2 (OK 1 and a Half) goals Diego Maradona Scored against the English in the 1986 world cup... They're pretty memorable and I support England?

I have to confess as good as the Gazza goal was the best world cup goal ever was Carlos Alberto in the 1970 final against Italy.

Iconic!
