    Who in their right mind replaces John Cale with Doug Yule?

    Or Steve Marriott with Rod Stewart?

    I ordered some Hendersons Relish from Tesco, sent me Worcestershire Sauce instead.

    Me and our lass weren't impressed. Dead controversial...

    Squire an enigma. Never made a good record without the tone deaf singer. Tone deaf singer made FEAR and a few more. Mido and Moncur should reflect

    There's a rather controversial substitution in the history of Dutch national football.

    Back in 2004, The Netherlands were playing the Czech Republic. Arjen Robben was having an absolute stormer with two crackers of assists as well as generally making the opposition's defence's night a rather difficult one. Being 2-1 up, Dick Advocaat in all his wisdom decides to take Robben off. The team doesn't look the same afterwards and they end up losing the game 2-3. (Sound familiar?)

    Some extra spice was added by his assistant, Willem van Hanegem, who afterwards told the media that if Advocaat would again try to substitute Robben at 2-1 up, he would physically knock him down.

    It was such a controversial substitution, that many Dutch people still remember it so many years later.
