Robbo's England World Cup squad 11:21pm on 16 Oct 2009 David Gilmour:

The bottom line is that there are those who can see the sun shine out of the a*se of Robbo.

And those who can only see the dark side of the moon.
Review of the week 7:58pm on 16 Oct 2009 And, as for "Thunderbirds 2"...

As long as The Hand of Blob is in charge of Argentina, they can be written off. As an indication of how much he knows about what he's supposed to be doing, he used 78 different players in the qualifying stages of the WC.

But who will dare to try to shift him? No one in the hierarchy of Argentinian football will have the guts, I suspect, but he has seriously fallen out with the press, so that might help things along. Even so, it will probably take a players' revolt; and that might happen. Perhaps when he decides which of the 78 will make up his 23 for SA. Interesting.
Review of the week 7:25pm on 16 Oct 2009 Fergie doesn't have to buy back issues of "Shoot". "You Are The Ref" (all of the key "Shoot columns) was published as a book in 2006.

The column (and book) are the work of Paul Trevillion, who also did "Roy of the Rovers".

Just tuned in, briefly, before retiring. Alas, the link doesn't open up here, apparently because of copyright reasons.

Missed out on the solution to your Japanese guy with the dad who had dysentery. No matter - never had much time for the mentality of the Kramakhasi pa lot.

Off now, before the moderator bans I.

Which, if you remove from "opinion", leaves "onion", which "brings tears to the eyes".

I'm wasted on you lot.

Joe - I agree absolutely that that's a key part of the dilemma about Jack Wilshere. But you could say something not dissimilar about players like Heskey, who find it difficult to keep a first team place. I think that Wilshere is outstanding, and may make a breakthrough this season, even bearing in mind the level of competition at Arsenal.

As I say, speculative, but interesting. I don't think that it's entirely out of the question this time round - and certainly one for the next calpaign.
Robbo's England World Cup squad 5:16pm on 15 Oct 2009 Late last night I watched "Valkyrie", which was an OK film about an attempt to assassinate Hitler. Serious stuff, but totally spoiled because every time the guy playing Hitler began to rant I was in stitches: I could only see a re-enactment of Gaz's video.

Eddie Izzard as a German officer and a master strategist didn't help either.

No idea of the answer. Brings tears to the eyes.

Interesting to see Jack Wilshere's name appearing, albeit speculatively, on this thread. I penciled him in as a possibility a while ago. There's still time for the young fella to make an big impact this season.

Don't want a huge gamble when the stakes are so high, but don't let's be entirely boring either.
Tangled in the Web 6:25pm on 14 Oct 2009 Tommy - have you heard that Dostoevsky's "The Idiot" has been deleted as a web book by the moderators?

Belorussian, Dostoevsky was. Wonder what the fans will read after tonight's game.

Probably that other great 19th century Russian writer, Warren Peace.
Tangled in the Web 6:20pm on 14 Oct 2009 Correction. Ukraine are 6-0 up. They might win.

WBWTV: highly informative stuff. I assume that the Seahorses' lyricists are well on the way with "Whitley in Pink", to the tune of the Scaffold classic, in preparation for Saturday? We'll all drink a drink a drink to that.
Tangled in the Web 6:13pm on 14 Oct 2009 Bang on, H2H. As things stand at the moment, with Ukraine 3-0, up and Croatia drawing 1-1, Portugal, with a home tie against Malta this evening, are BIG winners right now.
