Rooney goes through this all the time. He'll be hopeless, usually due to a complete lack of discipline on his own part, for several games before bullying a couple of Mickey Mouse teams and getting us hyped up again before another barren spell when we need him most. While we were unlucky with the goal conceeded (well done Daws for at least TRYING to redeem yourself after that cock up) ultimately it took a decent holding striker up front without the annoymous Rooney and Lampard getting in Stevie G's way for us to really do anything. Not sure where this "all new England" was though. So, Gibbs to get more England appearences then Arsenal this season?

Cudicini is now England qualified too isn't he? Well it's always worked for the rugby and cricket teams to go for the foreigners so no reason why we can't improve the football team by doing the same thing, mind you Hargreaves didn't really work out...

Bad performance last night by Boro'. Starting off at snails pace and they were there for the taking last night. Unusual to see our defence being so inept since four out of four have been giving them too much space in the box for a free header/tap in from a cross. Showed far too much respect to Pompey and gave them too much room, they've still got a decent first 11 but once they pick up a knock or two I can see them being slaughtered.

Given the whole purpose of Torchwood was designed to monitor extra terrestrial activity in Britain and most specifically the rift in Cardiff I can see it being a lot of half baked explanations in the first episode as to why. Sounds silly to keep Gwen involved but we'll see about how it all turns out next Summer.

'Arry is a genius. Slating the idea of a friendly in a run up to big games so Capello bottles picking them, shame about Daws though as the only top centre back who's fit it's risky. At best he'll only do a half. Some odd picks there but it's the time to experiment a little bit and giving nobody on the planet want's the game what better time to do so?

I'm in for this one. Reasonablly confident in my side so hopefully things'll go well.

Last season Stevenage did loads of sporting themed celebrations, can't find them on youtube but amongst them were golf (straight forward enough, pretending to put the ball into the corner flag), Baseball (imaginary ball pitched to scorer who hits it, caught by keeper who's mobbed by the defenders). There were a couple more too. Had to stop short of the "wrestling" celebration because the FA thought it was "getting too much". Rumour has it "outside interference" was planned by the substitutes.

Aren't Spurs linked with everyone though? Can't work out where half of them would fit in to the current side either.

Elton John had a wife too. There's loads of cases of gay men marrying women because it's the "right thing to do", given the long standing rumours about Campbell (given a little weight by his breakdown when a "gay England and top premiership defender" was about to be named) it wouldn't surprise me if it was a sham marriage. Surprised in this day and age people are still nervous of homosexuality in football, couldn't care less ultimately (anticipates the chants though).

Howley it was. Agree with the idea he'd have retired anyway, the injury just helped give him the nudge and wouldn't really have been a better time to call it quits.

Since we've had rugby union up... Which international scored a late match winning try in the 2003/2004 Heineken Cup Final for London Wasps? His last competetive try.

Australia New Zealand South Africa Argentina England Scotland Ireland Wales France Fiji Samoa Canada (thank you Jonah Lomu Rugby!)

After far too long away from this place had to hunt out this topic just to say, 14 years too late, "Come on the (no longer) Borough!". Hope to see us out of the blocks quick against the Mac Lads this weekend.

I'm hoping to go, my brother screwed up his work schedule and is having hell getting the dat off, which means I may get lucky. Hope so since it looks like another good lineup.

Don't give up on that one, I caved to buy the Evanescence back due to Mrs Lankys' demands and it was worth the money just to hear her sing that after much convincing. Worth it just for the "Raaaaaaaaaaaaawrgh" Oh and very glad to see the Tap classics coming out next week.

Okay, it doesn't appear to be displaying, along with any other new releases since the launch of Rock Band on the PS3. There, simple enough for you?

No it's not, in fact it's not even showing in either store and nor is any of Peace Sells... Checked the forums and a few have mentioned it. Only heard of some cache thing which did bugger all.

How many weeks later? Apparently I'm not the only one who's not seen the last three weeks DLC. Shambles...

Tried to find a Pinky Lee picture, found pics of some bloke from the 40s or something

I doubt we could host the Euros as they are just now. It would need to be a joint-bid with Wales or Ireland...or Iceland...or somewhere. And we'd still need to really improve our stadia. Reminds me of the rugby world cup which ends up shared by all the UK nations even if one is defined as hosts.

It's interesting that due to the nature of football no team would use numbers 1 - 17 due to pre squad numbers history. I prefer the fact numbers have history, all the great number 9's and so on.

Have they stopped bringing DLC to the UK due to no RB2? pain in the arse...

Ahhh Brookline the lowest point in golf history. Faldo made some silly decisions and you'd expect a better performance from some players but the best team won.

Two of my favourite games already gone in EU3 and RTW. Loved SoR too and Manic Mansion (though only mentioned and may not return ) took hours of my childhood
