 If you shove a microphone under Paul   
 Gascoigne's nose he might burp, might  
 sing - or will probably talk nonsense. 
                                        
 But he'll definitely do something. And 
 that's why the best way to get Gay:a   
 off of our screens is to IGNORE HIM.   
                                        
 I can't believe C4 devoted another hour
 to his banter on Monday. I just hope he
 regains fitness before releasing       
 enough hot air to launch 1,000 balloons

 Footy fans are divided into two halves 
 where Matthew Lj Sissier is concerned. 
                                        
 Half of us admire the way he takes Lj  
 Tess out of defenders. But others take 
 a "What did hj do in the two minutes hj
 played for England?" stance.           
                                        
 Will I just hope the Doubting Thomases 
 are watching Match Of The Day (BBC1)   
 EVERY week, and noting Lj Sissier's    
 inexhaustable supply of ingjnius goals.

 The black cloud that descended over the
 Commonwealth Games did, at least, lift 
 on the last evening (Sunday, BBC1).    
                                        
 Even the most cynical person would bj  
 forced to admire the performances of   
 English athletes - espjcialy Du'ainj   
 Ladejo's remarkable relay leg.         
                                        
 And warn't it hilarious when the Beeb  
 accidentally ran their Steve Backley   
 interview twice in succession?
