Where to start with this heap of absolute shit? Well let's remind ourselves that the song first saw the light of day on Phil Spector's seminal A Christmas Gift For You album. Originally he wanted his other half Ronnie to sing the lead vocal, but this got canned after he decided she couldn't convey sufficient emotion. Great decision, Darlene Love did it instead and what a vocal tour device force she delivered, it is a bona fide classic.

By contrast the Michael Bublé version is a total abomination. If the great Ronnie Spector can't do the song justice then what the hell chance does he have? He practically phones in the vocal, simply mimicking Darlene's performance note for note, inflection for inflection with his bland voice. May as well be singing his shopping list.

My blood boils whenever I hear this garbage.

I also hate the Jona Lewie one with that cheapo parping every few seconds, and the George Michael funereal dirge he released a few years before his death.

£113m for a website that was 52 months late. How does a website cost £113m, or the original budget of £35m for that matter? I don't care what the site does, it shouldn't cost even a tenth of that to build.

Imagine if Grand Theft Auto V was outsourced to Capita, it would probably cost £3bn, be three years late and full of bugs.

It's irritating and I refuse to do the same.

I read Saturday’s match day thread yesterday, out of interest, and it was as depressing as ever.

Fickle isn’t the word, it’s utterly pathetic.

I’ve certainly never in my life, either stood or sat next to such a fan in 50 years of watching Palace. Where the fuck have the come from? It’s not like there’s only a couple of them spouting their irrational bile, there’s a minor infestation.:)

I had managed to avoid this drivel for months but it happened to pop up as I turned my bedside radio on earlier this week. This is a transcript of how the programme started.

Syed: Well I did something this week which I'd never done before in my life.

Savage: Brushed your teeth??

Syed: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh that's -

Savage (interrupting): Put on some deodorant!

Flintoff (in background): Giggle giggle

Syed: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Flintoff: Eh up Robbie lad we can keep going with these all day!!

At that point my fist slammed into the off switch. What lunacy is this? I note that the BBC is also now trying to turn Peter Crouch into some form of banter machine, I have not had the bad fortune to catch his programme yet though.

I wonder if Carrick's book covers his refusal to be on the standby list for Hodgson's Euro 2012 squad as an example of strong leadership. Toys thrown out of pram which has now been retrospectively painted as 'depression'. Jimmy Hill.
