Up there with other hits such as ''Happy New Year Cunts''.

Perhaps why Newcastle Online got shot of him ;)

Flowers sleeping in their beds
This city's cemetery's humming
I'm wide-awake, it's morning...

Are the group stages on UK telly anywhere?  BBC coverage seems paltry...

The final will be shown live on BBC Two, while the two semi-finals will be available on red button and BBC Three.

The BBC website will have team news, statistics and match reports for every game and live text commentary from the opening match, semi-finals and final.

Piers Edwards will be blogging from Angola, while Richard Connelly will be sending regular Twitter updates.

It is a key game and should be entertaining.

I'm looking forward to the African goalkeeping masterclasses, personally.

Tiote sent off in warm up match. May as well come back to Newcastle while he's banned.

I think it's a 1 match ban to be honest.

Yeh. That's the more pressing matter. But I think they have a pretty good side. At least in attack. They could go a fair way. While Cote d'Ivoire are probably close to favourites.

What are the odds for a Senegal v Cote d'Ivoire final?
