With france you never know which team

Will turn up - the world beaters or the surrender monkeys! I hope and think Wales are more than capable of getting to the final, winning it would mean beating one of the big three, South Africa ( we almost did in the pool game and were unlucky not to), Australlia (beaten by Ireland and looking vunerable) or New Zealand (ummmmmm....).

It was a clear penalty, Jagielka comes right through the back of him. Suarez's reaction is OTT, but the majority of players would have gone down in a fairly similar way.

Fears about Adam being confirmed here, though. A pastiche of Alonso.

I think Adam's doing alright, he knocks the ball around quite well. Yes he's no Alonso, but hardly anyone is. He does a job, and will probably be on the bwnch when Gerrard is fit again anyway

Wasn't a red card, the ref got that wrong, but it was definately a penalty. Hopefullynwe can use the man advantage in the second half. Still have Stevie and Bellamy to bring on as well.

You mean the guy who has spent 100 million and is delivering, well, mediocrity?

Hardly mediocrity compared to where we were when he took over though is it! It's not even Christmas and we're 5th. We finished 6th last year and when Kenny took

Over Woy was doing his best to get us relegated. So that's ever so slightly harsh to say he's delivered mediocrity!!

I wouldn't trust Flanagan with this ref though, he'd probably get sent off.

This game has been so depressing to watch. I'd move Carragher to right back because Skrtel doesn't have a clue about positioning whatsoever at right back and even if he doesn't have the pace atleast Carragher can play right back.

I agree about Carra, that said I wouldn't play either of them, at least Flannagan has some pace to cope with Bale. Carragher woul be eaten alive!

God we're shite! Skrtel is awful (as usual), Carragher is well out of it. The Midfield (other than Lucas) have ben over run and we look completely toothless. What happened to the team that battered Bolton?!

We're utter shite at the moment. It's like we forgot how to play this week. And cab we please drop Skertel and Carragher now? We'd be better with a proper right back and Coates in defence

Andy Powell is too 1 dimentional and often loses the ball in the ruck. I think that Faletau come good.

I think against the Boks we need someone a bit one dimentional. They'll play a massively physical and dirty game, so being able to fight fire with fire in some way would be a handy thing

Wales Line Up vs South Africa

James Hook; George North, Jon Davies, Jamie Roberts, Shane Williams; Rhys Priestland, Mike Phillips; Paul James, Huw Bennett, Adam Jones, Luke Charteris, Alun Wyn Jones, Dan Lydiate, Sam Warburton (capt), Toby Faletau.

Replacements: Ryan Bevington, Lloyd Burns, Bradley Davies, Andy Powell, Tavis Knoyle, Scott Williams, Leigh Halfpenny.

Playing Faletau is such a bad idea, would have been better off with Andy Powell for a bit more physicality and agression. Supprised he's playing Charteris and not Bradley Davis too if I'm honest.

I actually enjoyed that. Not the best episode ever, but hardly crap by any stretch. There's been FAR worse than that since Doctor Who came back (Fear Her for example)

Since we're listing:

Tennant - Smith - Davidson - Tom Baker - McGann - Pertwee - Troughton - McCoy - Ecclesone - Hartnell - Colon Baker.

And I don't even really dialoke Colon Baker, his run is juat the weekest i feel. Tennant will alway be "My Doctor" the one who I started with, even if I can't stand a lot of RTD's stuff (he wrote one or twobdecwnt episodes but i thi k he's mostly a self congratulating hack). Matt Smith is running his awfulky close though

and a big loss for Liverpool too you'd have to day.

Not really.

Had a purple patch just after Kenny had taken over but other than that he was really average at best. Shits out of tackles and has a habit of going missing for long stretches of games.

To be honest I'm more disappointed that Aquilani went than Meireles.

I'm just a bit miffed we didn't hold Chelsea up for more or insisted on Sturridge or Malouda in exchange.

Getafe video urges fans to become sperm donors to boost season tickets

Link includes the campaign video. Possible NSFW. That's just fantastic.

That is awesome! The idea of an English team producing something like that amuses me

Faletau is one for the future, he's been good for the Dragon's this year.

I just don't see him makibg the step from club rugby to the international stage. Playing well in the Magners is one thing, but a World Cup is a whole different class, and I don't think Faletau has the quality to make that step. I' feel a lot more confortable with Ryan Jones at 8.

Out of interest, what's your opinion of Andy Powell?

Soild hand and good at the breakdown. Also great for al comedy value

The Wales form recently has been good, other than one or two little blips such as Faletau beibg a bit shit at international level.

We should get out of the pool in second place, and get revenge on Fuji in the process.

I should probably learn how to read, but that just goes to show how frightened I was that we weren't willing to snap Spurs' hand off for any offer.

£4 million was the figure I read somewhere, may have been the Daily Post. I'd happily see him go on a free if it get's the wages off the bill.

No Bill Murray? Ashton Kutcher?! The fuck?

I'm really, really hoping he signs on. It's not even worth bothering without Venkman!

Evidence would suggest that Joe Cole peaked in 2006.

This. Joe Cole is a shaddow of his former self, as last season with us showed. He tries and tries but just doesnt have it in him anymore.

That said, I'd love 'Arry to pay £4 million for him and his massive wages

Bendtner is coming on.

This is too hilarious.

You know the squad is down to bare bones when he's your best attacking option

It was always coming

I was more refering to it being a challenge on Lucas

Rockbox called it!

Cracking shot from Kelly, and another good save

Liverpool need Suarez on, too one dimensional at the moment playing for Carroll's head to much.

It's more that we can't keep hold of the ball to do anything with it. But we do need more options, Suarez would be ideal. Rodreguez is another possibility
