		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s my considered opinion that Bumblefoot&#8217;s album &#8220;Normal&#8221; is the finest rock album of the 21st century so far. Nick mentioned how he&#8217;s been playing the Alter Bridge album constantly, and that&#8217;s exactly how it was for me when &#8220;Normal&#8221; came out. I don&#8217;t think I listened to much else for a couple of weeks, [...]]]></description>

I decided that we just don&#8217;t spend enough time celebrating our identity in the when-it-suits-us British regional sub-entity of England. Maybe it&#8217;s because we share our current patron saint, St George, with rather a lot of Johnny Foreigners. We need [...]]]></description>

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says the lack of respect shown to referees is &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;
Ferguson also insists he will never allow his players to harangue referees and has called for more respect to be shown to officials.
