Friedel is a fantastic keeper when it comes to penalties. Hopefully that should see you through. And I haven't jinxed him now.

Just realised that an ex-Killie player is playing in this for Cape Verde, so they shall be who I'm supporting throughout this!

Murray and Wiggins should be the only two that's challenging for it, would probably give it to Murray as I think his achievement has been the best British sporting result in a good while. Might be slightly biased though !

It looks to be a very tough selection of teams who are likely to finish 2nd in their groups. As it stands just now: PSG, Arsenal, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Juventus, Valencia, Benfica/Celtic and Galatasaray/Cluj. I can see some cracking last 16 ties against those who won their group (United, Barca, Bayern (if they do finish top)). Although saying that it'll probably all change in the next round of fixtures and it'll make for some shit games!

Robbie Di Matteo reported to have left Chelsea according to the BBC.

BLIND TIGER

If it comes down to the final match, whoever wins is going to go fucking mental! Not just the pressure and all that, but both Tiger and Molinari love a good celebration!

Get rid of the Olympics, that wasn't even a hard choice. Watch nearly every match of the World Cup, struggle to watch even a fifth of the Olympics.

If it was a public vote then they would say no, can't be losing their support, if it was private I think they would vote yes. Due mainly to the revenue and the balance of power that the Old Firm have.

Aberdeen and Inverness confirm that they will also both be voting No to the newco, and as such it looks as if the team formerly known as Rangers are gone from the SPL !

La Marseillaise really is one of the best national anthems.

If I was England I would be hoping for a few French goals before full time. Italy>Germany is much tougher than Spain>Czech Rep/Portugal especially with Spain not looking as good as they usually are.

10 - Liv Tyler 9 - Emma Stone 8 - Keira Knightley 7 - Hayley Atwell 6 - Malin Akerman 5 - Rachel McAdams 4 - Laura Vandervoort 3 - Alison Brie 2 - A.J. Cook 1 - Rashida Jones

Last two owners have been Green and Whyte, while the last player they signed was Cellik !

I doubt they would take him back, and I doubt he would leave Wigan for Swansea.

Brendan Rodgers is expected to be the new Liverpool manager within the next 48 hours, according to the BBC.

It's a Lineker topic, we have to do it or he gets pissed off !

With the money, it would be made that you have to have paid the money into the paypal (easiest?) account before you could be signed up. Then the only problem would be me running away with the money!

Anyone fancy doing an EWB sweepstake for this? Could do it either for a bit of fun with nothing attached to it, a prize that is board related (something I could arrange with RW or Kliq) or have people put in £2 each to give a first prize of £25 and £7 to the runner up (that may put some people off though). I'm up for any suggestions though.

Mick McCarthy still has a chance !

From the squad selected: Hart Johnson-Lescott-Terry-Cole Barry-Parker Walcott-Gerrard-Young Defoe(Rooney) It's not going to be anything like that though!

Quite happy putting my money on France coming out top of Group D now. Downing !

Micah Richards is the best right back England have. Probably going to end up being Glen Johnson and Phil Jones as cover !

Surely they can't go from Eck to McCarthy !
