Ben Affleck. I have it on good authority that he's number 1 choice for the role and as such has already begun perfecting his Yorkshire accent.

They should use his co-star in that god awful Chick Flick instead, Josh Hartnett. He already has the Yorkshire accent down from his part in "Blow Dry" (also starring Alan Rickman & Bill Nighy).

If you've not seen it, it's highly recommended. Not for the film, which is a bit naff, but for Mr. Hartnett's attempt at a Keighley accent. Quite probably the funniest attempt I've ever heard from an American trying to do an English accent. I spent the entire film just laughing every time he spoke.

Don't tell me you are too young for Mary Poppins. Corr blimey.

I prefer Hartnett to Van Dyke just because Josh is trying to put on a Yorkshire accent.

and that panoramic view of Keighley when he goes up t'moors, actually Hebden Bridge.

Jason Statham in Transporter mode is the only man for the role.

Nah! Matt Lucas is reportedly slimming down for the role and is going to sing the song "Whats it all about Alfie" when the credits role.

good one blotto

Eastmond looks to be fit for the start of the season. Maybe more chance of us getting Leon a few weeks in if Wheeler or Lomax kick on.

Leon who?

Can the sweary filter be altered to include the words "Leon" and "Pryce"?

to be substituted with "Dream" and "On" ?

Or "Kyle" and "Briggs"...

exactly. Bringin pryce in when we didnt have a standoff made sense. WE've now got a promising young standoff who could give us 10yrs service if he works out. Bringing pryce in mid season could lead to a repeat of harris situation where we lose younger players who we could get better value for money long term out of in order to accomodate a big name expensive signing. Undoubtedly short term it would help our results but I think we should be thinking a little longer term than that tbh.

Indeed. Just so long as some of the fans are prepared to think a bit longer-term too, and not expect immediate results.
