My Creative Zen Stone - cheap and cheerful - has gone through at least three washes in my gym shorts pocket and come out unscathed. Hardy stuff.

She should be Capello's successor.

While we're on the subject, I was just thinking the other night, are we the only English club to have had two black managers?

2nd place in the group for Ireland would likely set up a QF against South Africa, which isn't the worst draw in the world. Would still say that's where they'll go out though.

So you'd better be one of the top 5 companies in the country by 2016 or there'll be hell to pay on here.

I'm oot ye feckin chancer, i started off with an icecream van ye ken? Fucking salt n vinegar, thats so 1980's, need to keep up with the times! It's Maldon sea salt and organic balsamic vinaigrette these days dahling

Well in any betting event there's always a shock outsider result occurs sometimes. Anyway Craig, take care wor kid, I know what this type of thing feels like and there's a sense of injustice flowing through your veins that this has happened to you. You should sew them for emotional damages too. Aye, stitch them up. They've clearly embroidered themselves a rich tapestry of crimes.

Same. Daft to think he could end up with 50+ England caps given how young he still is.

Ouch.

Bloody hell mate. Glad to hear you're both ok enough given the circumstances.

Off to see The Civil Wars at the Union Chapel in a few weeks. Love the venue, like what I've heard of the duo. Should be nice.

And posting random clips of young boys for no particular reason. It's like Sweet David all over again.

FYP

I was expecting this

The town moor ones have to be filthy rich. I bet the turnover of the moor is at least £10m Not all of them. They used to come in the Oxfam on Gossy High Street and try to steal pens.

Growing into his looks a bit, too. If not his long trousers.

I assume that's not recent, given the Christmas cards in the background. Although it wouldn't surprise me.

Getting women to do what you want is an art, much like filing So women should be stored securely in a lockable cabinet?

Isn't he the one who literally tried to kick Claudio Caniggia out of the San Siro? Take a bow son! Yep. I could watch the clip all night. His boot even comes off.

One of my favourite pieces of unlikely World Cup squad selection here

Went there for a day in 1994. I suspect things have changed a little in the meantime.

Massively grateful to be coming home tomorrow. Stag weekend in Berlin has gone pretty well considering the groom and the best man didn't bother actually planning anything. Couple of the lads are proper dicks after a day on the booze, too, which is fun fun fun for everyone else. Still, you can't choose your friends' friends, as the saying goes

He never reacts to what people say the bloke. He's like dehumanised. I know it's a horrible thing to say, he comments on things and I don't think even he knows why. Like nee character or soul, and in my book that's ODMF like Timothy McVeigh Aye I think you're right, you get people like that, who meander through life completely oblivious to what's going on around them or how they come across to other people. They're not usually portly menaces to society though.
