Not a match thread but where is it?

Someone step up please

I guess this is it. Good work Guru.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, the time, title and poster make not a whit of difference to the scoreline. You may not have realised this before.

What kind of crazy conspiracy theory is this?

Next you'll be telling me Paul Daniels wasn't actually a wizard.

Why would I make up something like that?

That's not what Debbie McGhee says. He managed to turn absolutely no talent into a megaton of cash.

If you keep saying this and saying this you may well convince yoursen but it won't make it true.

And then he disappeared, and she got to keep it.

I met Paul Daniels once. The ex Mrs Rave Flemish ballerina toured with Debbie McGee's ballet company once and I went to see the show on the last night of the tour in Cambridge. There was a last night party and he was there. He was actually very charming and seemed genuinely delighted that I was a techie.
'I always appreciate techies, Dave - there's not much point doing a brilliant trick if it's in the dark'.

He did always come across like he was probably a nice fella, just as long as you ignore his politics.

Also, isn't he generally regarded as a pretty good magician?

I think he was, but then again how much competition was there on TV back then? Ali Bongo? Sooty? Tommy Cooper?

Would he have got on telly in the first place if he was shit? It was hardly his chiseled good looks that got him on. (I think of Ali Bongo as his producer, so presumably daniels was the better tv presence)

Back to the matter at hand, Chelsea's UCL chances are gone. They're still playing for Europa but they have to overtake the full squadron of B teams who are all in better form. I think they should concentrate on sending Spurs or West Ham down.

I'm annoyed it's a bank holiday, kick off here is 10am and I have an unavoidable meeting.

No he wouldn't have got on TV if he was shit (unless he was deliberately shit in a funny way). I'm just - admittedly flippantly - suggesting that there was nothing to compare him to. 'And that's tragic'.

Maybe he got into TV because he was a pedo, and all his pedo chums were already in TV.

Sounds more realistic than him actually doing magic.
