It's fairly smart.

Looks relatively smart.

I thought the money for signing young, promising players to push forwards from the ressies (in the mould of Abeid, Good etc) was a seperate pot from what we'd use to sign first teamers? Or have I just made that up? Either way, I don't see how a <£400,000 fee for a promising young centre-back would impact on our other spending. We're not Everton.

Ah, so now we know who made the thunderstorm happen. Only Ethi would send it to assassinate someone in the wrong fucking city. Although, womblemaster might send it to one of the moons of Jupiter.

Be Shittu before you know it.

Best will easily get 15-20 goals in that division, especially if Blackburn can keep most of their squad. Think they'll win the division at a canter if so, even in spite of Steve Kean.

Uncle Moe's family feedbag The last 10 seconds or so.

I thought that too.

Tempted to back 0-0 in 90 minutes tomorrow and possibly Germany in ET.

He's never taken a competitive penalty away from St. James Park, though. Which is really strange. He's scored 8 or 9, all at home.

Seems like the going is hard for Michael at the moment. /horseracingjoke

I think the next signing's gonna be a 'BOOM, outta the blue, fucking look who we've just signed!!!' sorta signing. Even if it is Debuchy, who we've been regularly linked with. I just mean, there won't be a gradual feeling from players/media about them signing. Just a straight-to-training-ground-pic-photo thing. agree with that. I reckon we'll probably get about half a day's notice between widespread media reports and training ground photos, much like the Cisse deal.

Won on Rub of the Relic in the 2.15 at Wolverhampton (total guesswork) at 9/1. Nice free £10 for a blind guess.

My 50p on Welbeck top goalscorer for England at 7/1 returned a whopping 80p.

You don't top the group with 7 points just by being lucky we had an element of luck in the Ukraine game but would have qualified anyway. We were disciplined and professional against France and Ukraine and showed great spirit to come back against Sweden. I reckon we'll beat the Italians tonight. It'll not be pretty, or comfortable, but we'll do it.

Rooney 2-1 @ 35/1 Scott Parker man of the match @ 25/1

Aye, he'd be much better off getting the numbers from Lost tattooed on him instead.

Going to look at Rooney 1-0 and Rooney 2-1 for Sunday. Also quite fancy Gerrard anytime scorer.

Castiagnos ended up playing for my Gateshead side on FM11, in the Premier League. He was class, safe bet for 12 goals a season and was dead versatile.

Added Ozil 3-0 and Gotze 2-0.

Greece 1-0 @ 25/1 Gekas 1-0 @ 105/1 Greece on pens @ 25/1 Germany on pens @ 18/1 No cards @ 22/1 Plumping for these.

Global Village only places Still, in profit for the day. Healthy.

I need him too come the fuck on! If he places I still win a decent amount, I think.
