Guthrie wouldn't offer defensive cover wide right because he's not disciplined enough to stay there. When he played wide last season, he kept coming inside and leaving Simpson on his tod.

Kicks off at 16.45 today if you want to watch England get a fairly easy draw, get predicted to walk through with no bother and then struggle next June! A handy Daily Mail handout for the teams in it. Your disappointment starts now. FWIW, I quite fancy France to do it.

He's cash hungry though. The fact he's taken the job suggests he's been offered a decent kitty in January as well. Looks like Short and Quinn aren't going to learn. I think he'll make them hard to beat but then again, how hard is it to beat a defence with Wes Brown and Bramble in it?

By 2020, these immigrants will become the majority. There's no evidence to support this but it's absolutely true.

The club itself needs some sort of model that isn't just spunking money about on a revolving door of players who aren't good enough or plain mercenaries. Bringing O'Neill in isn't going to fix that.

Saw something today about how O'Neill's reputation seems to increase the longer he's not in a job.

Nice, where did you get it? eBay for 8 quid. I think the vinyl box has more extra business in it though.

"Everywhere on this aisle; there's fucking chicken dippers, microwave fries, roast potatoes. Not a single overpriced fucking organic item in sight. Fuck off back to Sainsburys if you want that African shit. Real British mums eat BRITISH FOOD. Like Pizzas, half price now"

F Finally got here and is everything you expect from a compilation centered around a bunch of Indonesians, taking drugs, listening to Sgt. Peppers, James Brown and Prog Rock, then writing music like it. Now, I just need some more of it.

Clarkson quoted as saying "If I get the sack, I have to say, it'd be the biggest travesty IN THE WORLD"

Horrible bitch. She should be shot.

McNally seemed to indicate it was Hughes last night. Mentioned in one tweet that he was off to put a bet on it and then mentioned it was on Hughes a bit later

Course you do.

Happy birthday, dear

Those Greeks were fucking mental. I'd wager about 75% of them were off their tits on some substance or other. Some crazy defending from PAOK and they deserved it. Gareth Bale was a waste of a sub.

I see he's got a book out...

Keith Gillespie is on now and will follow you if you have a bit craic on with him. Not responded to much about his Barca performance yet though.

My phone used to do that and it was always a case of waiting a while for it to come through. Hope it's not as bad as you fear.

With you on Thurston Moore, Chez. Just listened to it today and it's excellent. I really love House of Balloons too; my past week has basically been spent listening to it. The transition from House of Balloons to Glass Table Girls is immense. I don't think I can pick a Top 10 yet but my definites would be: St. Vincent - Strange Mercy Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues The Weeknd - House of Balloons PJ Harvey - Let England Shake Girls - Father, Son, Holy Ghost The Dear Hunter - The Colour Spectrum Night Beats - S/T Thee Oh Sees - Carrion Crawler/The Dream Not heard Kate Bush, Feist or Tom Waits yet and there's stuff released earlier in the year that I'll have to re-listen to like Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Psychic Paramount, Danger Mouse and Destroyer to see how I feel about them. It's been a pretty good year though IMO. Special credit to Gotye for releasing, maybe, the best single with "Somebody That I Used to Know", closely followed by SBTRKT's "Wildfire" EDIT: Lykke Li, Laura Marling and Anna Calvi all had good albums too. Sisters doing it for themselves

St. Vincent for me, I reckon.
