There's one very good reason to get to BP early on Saturday. According to her Twitter, Charlotte Jackson and Fenners will be filming at BP on sat. And if you are still not quite sure who she is....

We got plenty of crosses into the box tonight, but there was never anyone in the box attacking the ball. Also, the strikers always looked to be playing the ball back when they got it, and they weren't very direct and didn't look a goal threat at all (which was also a problem on Saturday.)

He was there with Brian Horton, his also currently unemployed assistant.

It has been said that the New Years test Vs Australia was fixed. I remember watching that and thinking to myself "how the hell have Pakistan lost this?!" They showed some of the dropped catches from Butt on SSN today, and the missed stumping where he doesn't even attempt to take the bails off despite the batsmen being yards out of his crease, and it really does make you wonder. If guilty, ban them from Cricket for life. And as its now a criminal investigation, some prison time would be nice.

What he said.

The problem with Hansen is that he could be a quality pundit, if only he could be bothered. He does hardly any research and just seems to think that slagging off defending is enough. Alan Shearer is horrendous. I have always been a big fan of Big Al, but his football knowledge for someone who played at the top level for so long is abysmal. Bright, Coleman, Pleat, Beglin are all shockingly bad. The best two pundits are Paul Merson (talks utter b***ocks at times, but just says what he thinks) and Graeme Souness. Souness is quality. He just says what he thinks, doesn't mind if he upsets anyone, and usually he is talking sense.

Would Berna-boundary Park not make more sense?

Someone did chant that, on his own, before realising he had got it wrong. Was well funny.

I play Madden religiously on the 360. Gameflow is for newbys. I turned it off straight away. The game is OK. There are some major problems with the defence. Basically, defenders dont do zonal coverage very well at all. The amount of blown coverages is pretty ridiculous, making for some fairly easy TD's. I'm not a fan of the running game either. I just can't get anything going. On Madden 09 I was a monster at running. On Madden 11, it just don't work for me. (it is just me though...I have played people who arent having problems running at all.) It's a decent game, but as ever with Madden, it will be a lot better after the first patch is released.

Is he claiming the moral high ground? Or simple claiming that Cardiff owe them money which they are dragging their feet in paying, whilst at the same time signing a few players from the premier league (one of which is incredibly highly paid).

No, Dave. No one calls him Slash. Technically its "Young" Slash. But I'm going to stick to Paul, or Annie.

Gay.

If you are going to shorten my username, you might as well just call me Dave.

If you do want to check, then don't bother looking at the OS...

In reality, the only cup we will ever win as a league club would be the JPT/LDV/Whatever it will be called at the time. We will never win the FA Cup, and we will never win the League Cup. It's unlikely that we will win this league in the foreseeable future. So, of course we should take this cup seriously.

Tounkare for me. Ran his nuts off, scored a belter and set another up. He will do for me.

KP, Trott and Jones all have English or Welsh parents, so should qualify for the England and Wales Cricket team. Kieswetter's mum is Scottish, and Morgan is not even slightly English, so neither of them two should be allowed anywhere near the England Cricket team. Arteta - born in Spain to Spanish parents, and was raised there. Whether or not he now has a British passport, he should not be allowed to play for England at all.

Our aim, surely, is to try and catch Spain and be as good (if not better than them.) So picking a player who qualifies for Spain but isn't good enough to play for them would be pointless. Oh, and no. He isn't English, and has no English blood, so I'd be against it.

To be fair, all non friends of Dale Stephens can see it as he has his account privacy settings so that anyone on Facebook can see it. Clearly (nothing to do with his footballing talent) the guy is an idiot for not having his account locked down so only friends can see anything.

Why does TomTheTerrier think no one will finish?

It was heavy in Kendal. And messy. And god damn quality. I'm visiting Mrs Slash Slash for the weekend for this game, so I'll take your place as token.

I've always thought he was alright. I remember last year when he tipped us to struggle...cue outrage on here (he hates us, what does he know etc etc...) But it turned out he was right.

Wasn't Stephens 18 when we signed him and already played a dozen or so league games? Can't give TP the credit for that. The other players yes though, fair play to him. Could do with finally bringing through a decent striker though.
