Ketsbaia

Considering the treatment other teams gave him, I think he's done really well. 4 goals in the groups, it was down to him that Di Maria scored against Switzerland, he played well against Belgium (also, dat pass!) although he was quiet against Holland. One off day is alright, though. Until Holland, he'd been brilliant and Argentina would be nowhere near the final without him.

Yanga-Mbiwa can tag him in on his way out

If destiny is a real concept, Messi wins tonight. It's the night of his life, the stage he belongs on and he's been my player of the tournament. Argentina won't collapse like Brazil did in those 400 seconds, so I can see it being a cagey game - probably 1-0 Germany. Would absolutely love Argentina to win it though, they've been my team all along. It'd be amazing if Messi did what everyone said he had to, and he did it in the Maracana! Big question is, are Germany confident enough in themselves to just play their own game, or will they have Messi tactics like everyone else? So excited for tonight

Will be gutted if Sigurdsson ends up at Palace What a waste.

5th place

Tonight's the night, Leo. Do it

One of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen. The way MYM has been treated is criminal & he'll go on to show why Pardew is a shithead, no doubt about it. One of Pardew's biggest failings, which says A LOT.

Captaining Blind went well

From other Finals, don't BBC get 4x the audience that ITV does? It's mostly because of the adverts, I guess, but the difference in quality is startling.

Cabella, bella, bella, huh Tell me more, tell me more Can he play at left back? Tell me more, tell me more Is he better than Jack?

Roy Keane, average players, buying Champions League medals......they really are the mackems!

It'll probably be 1 striker, then we'll risk getting by with just him and Cisse until January, especially when Gouffran can play there.

Cabs has done a great job at telling him play well for a couple of years and you will get a transfer away without issue. Exactly!

Cabaye's done a stellar job He's a class player and hopefully he can perform below-par until Pardew is sacked, then becomes brilliant.

Feyenoord's asking price is too steep, our opening bid was reasonable. Hopefully there'll be a compromise.

They're boosting depth, but failing to buy a certain standard. Bony and Remy are good but will only get you so far.

As a Barca fanboy, I dont know how to feel. Morally, that man cannot be cheered. But what a strike force!

Oh right, what a shame. I mustn't have got their sarcasm!

Well that was fun. We just flew too close to the sun.

Matt's been slaughtered on Twitter tonight, especially by Taylor & Besty. Apparently he was trending in Newcastle, which is weird.

At a glance, it also says Sunderland want the German left back who has 57 caps for Austria.

Brilliant

This.

We're delaying this deal until we've signed a replacement, apparently.

Instead of being bought out, Villa buy Senderos, Joe Cole, Bendtner and Richardson with Roy Keane as assistant. Awful
