Ketsbaia

Playing there against Anzhi didnt work and it didnt work today either. Get him on the wing against Bardsley and he'll cause delicious damage.

I'm not a fan of 'penalty + red card' and this is why. One tug transforms this game and the suspensed ones. It was definitely a pen but I wont be hanging him tonight.

Best he's played in a while. Good timing.

I've done ok today but frustrated at so many things. Firstly that I almost missed out on Arsenal, Man U, Stoke cleanies (took out Koscielny, Rio & Wilson dropped). Secondly, Michu didnt score. Thirdly, Hazard & Mirallas doing well.

Didnt expect the team so early. Chuffed with that XI, not that itll matter much today!

2 boosts but we'll still get torn apart by S&S.

I love they assume its Portugal, France, Croatia and Ukraine before the draws even been made

The odds of there being a "poor" group are pretty slim. Switzerland-Iran/Australia/Honduras-Algeria/Cameroon-Bosnia is really as bad as it could get. That's a pretty shocking group, mind

I dont know whether I'd rather have a mix of great and poor groups, or a uniform quality across all 8. I suspect we'll get the former but either way, I'm so excited about this World Cup. The last 'proper' one in a long time.

England vs Chile at Wembley.....memories of Salas, Zamorano and that beautiful Chile shirt. And that twat Michael Owen.

Its gonna have to be Captain Sturridge. Michu, Rooney and Giroud are fine options but it just has to be Sturridge.

West Brom and Swansea http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20131017/magpies-announce-reciprocal-ticket-price-offer_2281670_3498468?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

2009/10 Benitez (sold Xabi Alonso) 7th 2010/11 Hodgson (sold Mascherano) 7th (Aug - Jan) 2010/11 Dogleash 6th (Jan - May) 2011/12 Dogleash 8th 2012/13 Rodgers 7th Yet Woy is hated there and the other three are idolised. I don't get it. PS/ That story in 'The Sun' is ridiculous. What a horrible paper.

Yeah it must be painful to be stuck on 2

GW8 : Newcastle 1-4 Liverpool Arsenal 3-1 Norwich Chelsea 2-0 Cardiff City Everton 2-0 Hull City Man Utd 3-2 Southampton Stoke City 0-0 West Brom Swansea 0-1 Sunderland West Ham 0-2 Man City Aston Villa 1-1 Tottenham Crystal Palace 1-1 Fulham

Coutinho, man. He can't just wait, he goes out of his way to heap more misery on us. Prick.

The media are falling over themselves to stress how low expectations are. It's like a new type of pressure, like they're expecting England to exceed them.

I like all the big teams being at a World Cup tbh. Don't want to see Ukraine, Greece or Romania in their place.

Would like Portugal, France, Croatia and Iceland there somehow.

If we're playing that game, I wouldn't mind 1996 Shearer back.

Narrow defeat

Scalextric.

Put it this way - losing by 5 is an improvement on last time.
