    Euro 2012

    Sorry, I meant Lampard alongside Parker with Gerrard ahead of them and behind the striker. Lampard's been alongside Mikel with Mata behind Drogba for Chelsea.

    Euro 2012

    I really like Carrick and think he should definitely be in the squad and probably the team but that is correct. Don't get why people are so fond of Parker at all. For what it's worth, I think Frank & Steve will play together and probably be OK. If Lampard plays his Chelsea Champions League...

    favourite headline ever

    Granted, it's not really the headline that's funny but the juxtaposition with the photo. Anyway. A lot of these are gold, actually http://sandsmediaservices.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/be-careful-of-dodgy-relationships.html?m=1

    Roiling football blather

    Yeah I've got mates in Brighton who we're trying to get tickets the last time I was down. No dice. Was just looking at the Champ table - tough ask for Brighton now. Next season it is, then!

    Roiling football blather

    Just back from White Hart Lane having seen my team (Norwich) put in our performance of the season so far. Spurs look like a busted flush, but we were tactically perfect, marking the wingers and letting full backs get carried away instead. Holt and Wilbraham (who MK Franchise fans told us wasn't...

    Is he that good defensively, tho? I know arsenal's back four is a rotating bunch of comedians this season, but the midfield doesn't seem too solid either. Thinking of spurs's goals last week, liverpool's dominance this, the Milan embarrassment...

    build a wall round the poor

    I think he's talking about the housing benefit cap. And they are using it as a means of driving poor people out of London.

    wot no RIP Whitney thread?

    @Bangpuss yeah sometimes it's tedious when people all of a sudden get interested in someone when they die. I fucking hate Johnny Cash and found all that hagiography following his death really tiresome. But sometimes it's just an opportunity to talk about an artist you wouldn't otherwise talk...

    Burial "Untrue"

    I don't think he does it deliberately at all. If the Quietus wants to write 5,000 words on him that's up to the Quietus. FWIW I'm not too sure I'm into the new ep. There's one track, Loner, which is ace but the other two are too unfocussed. I am not of the view that 12 minute long tracks are a...

    Burial "Untrue"

    This is a good, long, piece on the new Burial EP. I was listening to it last night and it struck me that, with all these post dubsteppers ripping off his ideas, he's now sounding more like himself.

    Roiling football blather

    It wasn't a great game, to be honest. Gervinho missing the penalty was the most inevitable thing I've ever seen on a football pitch. In one on ones he's got to be among the worst strikers in the league. He just bottles it - witness his electing to be their eighth penalty taker or whatever.

    Roiling football blather

    The one by the Zambian guy for their fifth where he put it exactly in the top corner was amazing. And the one from their keeper. Coolest penalty ever. They were far the better side, totally deserved the win. Drogba was shocking all game. Sad to see such a great player - one of the best strikers...
