Deuce

Aroused.

Every game without fail he's involved in some petty crap, trying to look really hard. Absolute moron Ashley Williams. He nearly killed van Persie though so all is forgiven #neverforget

Safety is less of an issue than the steamrolling of Brazil's poor in preparation for the tournament.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the type of people most prone to committing violence will be priced-out of WC matches. edit: new page. What Baba said.

Absolutely disgraceful.

Sounds like a bad musical.

Listening to the World Football Phone-in Draw Special. Wheelock is such shit.

Wouldn't surprise me. Ecuador really isn't great away from home, but their group isn't very strong either. Toss-up between them and Switzerland for me. Depends which Uruguay shows up. Play like they did during qualification and they'll bounce out, but if their aging defense holds up...

Early guesses: Group A: Brazil, Croatia Group B: Spain, Chile Group C: Colombia, Japan Group D: Italy, England Group E: France, Switzerland Group F: Argentina, Iran Group G: Germany, Portugal Group H: Russia, Belgium

Very good player.

Yeah, I was blowed away by that.

Doolafoo!

Flamini's "follow me lads!"

The value they've got out of Jagielka and Distin is superb. Just short of £10m I think? Their back 5 probably cost less than Lescott if you throw Howard, Baines & Coleman in Oviedo looks a good player too. Maybe they should flip Baines to ManU for a hefty price...

5 years ago Everton bought a 32 year old Distin for 5m. He's still a mainstay in their backline 5 years on. But he's only 35 now. 36 in a week. Still doesn't make sense He signed in August '09, as a 31-year old. Before turning 32 that December. This is his 5th season for them.

Is Guadeloupe an official member of FIFA? The French players with that heritage could combine forces to create a quite formidable side of French rejects, with Distin included. CONCACAF powerhouse.

Have you seen Cardiff's January fixtures? I'm not sure how full strength they will be. 6 pointer with West Ham the week after Fair point.

Yet not a single save from Chesney.... the wankfest over possession is starting to bore me. Game is about scoring goals and Arsenal did more to try to achieve that in 5 mins than Everton did in 40. Everton is playing to contain Arsenal, first and foremost. They'll be more than satisfied with a draw.

Can our bench beat a full-strength Cardiff? Guess we'll find out.

I was worried after he shaved the neck beard. But he's had a strong half.

Really hoping it's won by one of the keepers slotting home.
