Ozil was absolutely quality.

I cannot agree with this enough.

He's generally over-performed given the wage bill at the club (there is a strong correlation between the amount a club spends on wages and how successful it is in the league), so I don't really see how that is 'failing to make a fist of what you've got'.

Spain potentially have a tricky run to the final. Using the BBC's new world cup predictor, I think I had them playing Portugal, Italy and Argentina. Brazil's on the other hand was a bit easier from what I remember, so maybe that would just about make them favourites. Spain's team is so so good...

I've mentioned this site on the other football thread, but it's worth mentioning at any opportunity. Zonal Marking are doing a tactical analysis of all (?) the teams in the WC. Essential reading basically. Would love to know who's behind it.

Yes and it wasn't a very big one either but you could really fast in a circle. Also, no one ever used it so you were rarely disturbed by actual cars.

There's one attached to a pub on Great Dover Street, but I have no idea what it's like or how much it costs.

It's near London Bridge (close to Guy's hospital if you know where that is) and under some arches. That last part should tell you quite a bit about what it's like seeing as most clubs under arches seem to have the same kind of aesthetic. I've only been the one time for what was meant to be the...

What would it be like if it was in step? (Compulsory lessons in schools on the hardcore continuum?) At my polling station there was one Lib Dem woman taking polling card numbers but no one else. This pretty much sums up this election for me at a local level; I've received a leaflet from the Lib...

Dan Gardner on Newswipe mentions the case of a white supremacist blowing himself up outside an NFL game in Oklahoma in 2005. He starts talking about it at around 3mins 10secs - . Like you I also noticed the case of the guy wanting to start a race war didn't really receive any coverage. It was...

Think this video got posted up before, but what is the track that's playing? In the comments someone says it's Last Winter by DJ Rashad, but I couldn't find this track. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=""></param><param name="allowFullScreen"...

Just to continue my promotion of Jonathan Wilson, here's his article on Fulham and their Europa League success from the Guardian earlier this week. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/apr/27/the-question-fulham-roy-hodgson

Vim could you recommend some articles on this?

Only saw the last 15 minutes, but from what I did see I'd have to agree with this: It's worth reading the article and the rest of the site as well. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/04/28/barcelona-inter-mourinho-tactics/

This cannot be stated enough. If you haven't read his book Inverting the Pyramid then I'd strongly suggest that you do. It's also worth reading his article on pressing, which focussed on Barcelona in particular, from a few weeks ago in the Guardian.

I really think this question should be a compulsory part of any interview with a dubstep/grime/funky DJ or producer given that the standard answer to questions concerning musical background seems to be that they were listening jungle and/or garage since the moment they were born. That might be...

Cameron stopping just short of pledging to nuke China was also a highlight for me.

You have to drink while watching the debate to make it any good/watchable.

I used to listen to nu-metal, but I'm pleased that I always knew Coldplay were shit. I can't hate people like Limp Bizkit though; to me it's just one of those things that is so bad that it becomes funny so hate or dislike doesn't really apply.

Downloading now. Looking forward to giving it a listen.
