Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

it's not crazy, it's perfect

Maybe Jimmy Greaves drove him?

is there any chance gazza gets shot on tv? any chance at all?

The media would LOVE that!

Especially if he weren't killed and burst into tears

(sb-ing myself for checking my dead pool picks and seeing I didn't pick him this year)

gazza shoudl always be on the dead pool list, tbf you've missed a trick there

In case goole wonders about Jimmy Five Bellies:

Wtf is Gazza wearing?

that is the least of his problems

xp seems to be some kind of curtains/car seat cover combo.

Gazza's agent: "He's doing *what*? I'm in Majorca."

That would seem to be the standard reply from Gazza's agent; "Oh now WTF is he doing?".

okay this is fucking surreal, what with the gazza element and all

TS: Being Gazza's agent vs Being Lohan's lawyer

ha was a gnomic wiki that is

"maybe he'll fall asleep"

explains everything and nothing

poll: gazza vs lebron

fancies a bit of the Flamengo goalie guy action.

the bbc site has live coverage on the main page now. Im watching sky news though.

gascoigne's webcam photo in the wiki page

discarded pringles tubes

they now think the guy has been hiding out in a drain (where local kids often hang out in or play in) which is where he is lying near just now. And was going out at night breaking in to places to get food.
Noone thought to check there?

Tom@Sky:
"He's probably already tired and worn-down and hungry... Psychologically he's probably quite weak at this time," he said.

But that's enough about Gazza, what about Moaty?

This is still going to be going on tomorrow isn't it?

I have borne witness to the traveling Gazza/Five Bellies extravaganza, in Pharmacy, where they were on the piss with Chris Evans. Sat there cringing into my sleeve because I couldn't exactly get up and leave my own birthday drink.

Mind you, at this point, more people seem to want more Gazza news.

Nice quick work there :)

flippin heck stet good work!

What's John Locke doing there?

Wasn't me, the internet provided as always

INTERNET WIZARD IS YOU

Po-po with POLICE helmet looks like Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes.

Do people really want Gazza news, or is it just Friday night zinging because basically police stand-offs with murderers are weird as fuck and the presence of a mentally ill figure of fun gives an easy diversionary tactic to make it seem surreal rather than actually uneasily real?

Police source says they're ready to "go on all night" according to Sky News, which is nice of them. I thought they'd just nip off home for a kip and come back after a nice fry-up tomorrow morning.

haha, John Locke spot OTM. Based on the other photo earlier, I had him pegged as cross between Phil "The Power" Taylor and Minty off EastEnders.

I was thinking that if it wasn't over in time for Newsnight we'd be here awhile. Can't they just shoot him with a tranquilizer dart a la Wild Kingdom?

The Gazza involvement is just another add-on layer of WTF, that's all.

does gazza really know him?

What do you think? You don't think he'd have mentioned it before now to anyone rather than just rocking up in the glare of the media?

"it's like something in Waco Texas drafted up to Northumberland" STFU, Sky News guy, we get it, nothing's happening, you just have to make shit up to keep people watching.

The C4 producer's Twitter feed I posted earlier claims that Gazza knew Moat from around Newcastle clubs.

Just got home, read this, thought you were all doing this hilarious made-up Gazza gag but then it's on the Sky News ticker.

# Gazza: "I would like him to talk to me 1 to 1. I will visit him in prison. I've been through it and he will get through it." #moat 35 minutes ago via HootSuite

# Gazza: "I was going to walk through the moors and shout Moaty it's me. As far as I'm concerned he is a nice guy." 36 minutes ago via HootSuite

# Gazza: "I jumped in a taxi with broken ribs and brought some food for him, lager. I know he won't shoot me." 37 minutes ago via HootSuite

# Gazza live on local radio: "I didn't come here for a publicity stunt. I felt sorry for him beause he has been a good friend of min." #moat 39 minutes ago via HootSuite

james, you couldn't make this up

ESP not him turning up with a chicken and a fishing rod. Was he going to dangle the tasty treat out to Moaty?

What would Gazza actually be promoting, if it's a promotional stunt? Maybe they should let him through, I reckon it would bring the standoff to an end one way or another.

I was going to walk through the moors and shout Moaty it's me

This will be the highlight of the subsequent motion picture
