We realise we've made a terrible mistake releasing Lee Molyneux and are re-signing him on a five year contract?

No, SSN will still broadcast online, God knows if they'll make you pay for it though - I wouldn't be suprised. Good news is that BT vision have bought the rights to show SS1 and 2, so perhaps that's the path to go down...

I found out that BSkyB is pulling Sky Sports News from Freeview in 2011 and making it a subscription only service. It will be replaced with Sky 3 +1, which is perhaps the worst channel on Freeview. I must say I'm gutted about this - I love SSN, its breaking stories, Soccer Saturday and heavenly female presenters always cheer me up even when there's sod all else on the other channels. It's Sky's channel, so they can do what they want with it, but taking its popularity and appeal (which is largely due to the fact it's on Freeview) and offering it only to subscription viewers (thus denying the poor a quality channel) smacks of "Sod the customers, let's make a profit". Time for a protest. Is anyone else a Freeview only customer that will miss it?

I reckon so - Cortese gave Pards the money with promotion the aim - unless Liebherr gives him some more, I think most of the budget is gone. There will still be frees brought in I would assume, wages pending. I think our forward line is ok if Connolly signs on. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the obvious youngster that springs to mind, although I do think we lack pace without Waigo and Antonio. I do hope we continue the fight to bring back Antonio - Good for us and one for the future. I rate Danny Butterfield, I'm suprised Palace ditched him. Would be superb experience for the right back berth, and is also quite versatile if we bring in a specialist right back - so can play elsewhere when not needed in that position.

Harsh, but if it gives the team a kick up the backside it's a good thing. Feel a bit sorry for the older Nigerians closer to retirement that won't get another chance to play for their country though. If it were England though, I don't think I would support it - but would missing the Euros in 2012 be such a loss?

Scratch that, we have now been told that as of today we are no longer accepting them.

I wonder whether Pards would like a bottle? He'd probably just give it away free of charge.

1 out of 2 ain't bad. I like the look of the Japanese team, but aside from Honda they have no-one up front. They'll be a big force in world football in a few years, mark my words.

I'd take that - I have a few bets on Argentina and think they'd rather play Portugal than Spain!

I have a bet on 0 or 1 goals, doing goal crazy on Ladbrokes. Looking ok so far. I also did 4 or more goals in the Spain game tonight. Fingers crossed.

In LUL ticket offices, we haven't been told what date to stop accepting the old £20 notes, so perhaps we're still taking them. Makes sense with the number of tourists we deal with, it'll take time for other countries to get rid of their old stocks. I still have people turning up with those big notes and coins that went out of date in the 80's/90's. Makes sense if they haven't been in the country for years, but a little research wouldn't be bad! I wouldn't take pesetas to Spain or Francs to France!

I'd advise them to keep their spacesuits on, to kep as much of the sh7tty smell out as possible. 8000 childen - is that just one family?

Hart Micah Richards Michael Dawson John Terry Ashley Cole Aaron Lennon Tom Huddlestone Steven Gerrard Ashley Young Gabby Agbonlahor Peter Crouch I haven't put much thought into this, but it looks ok.

Used Tampax. Pretty cool IMO, because it stops messy panties. No smoking signs, pretty cool for non smokers. Scars are cool, especially if they're still bleeding. Nobody mentioned Saints home kit then?

I agree with the posters that say that the England players play better for their club because they're surrounded by world class foreigners - while we're not on the same level (yet), that's true for Saints too - without Morgan last season, we looked much weaker. Foreigners have, on the whole, been good for the domestic game, but in turn it has ruined England's chances of ever winning anything.

My momma changed her style and now she makes about £100 more a night than she used to. Change is good. I do miss the arcade, but I know it's on its way.

England's players of the tournament - Warnock, Dawson, Hart and Carrick. I heard the England team were going to have an open top bus trip in London when they get back next week, not as a celebration, just for a spot of sightseeing. In all seriousness, I suppose this raises the question of whether the English team will ever be a force in World football again. I can't see it, in its current state, I know that the FA is bringing in the English youngsters rule into domestic competition but will that really change things? Who knows. Would a Great British team work? Merging England and Wales? Should goaline technology be brought in? So many questions...

True, McClaren's England reign was shocking, a country like England not qualifying for any tournament is bad, but I'd still rather have an English manager as England manager. Granted, they are few and far between, and they can think twice if they wanted Pardew (!), but I'd rather not succeed in World competition with an English manager in charge than not succeed with a European manager in charge. Then you have to look at the wages these foreign managers are being paid - it's disgusting. If England can get him before Liverpool do, I wouldn't mind seeing Roy Hodgson as England manager. Totally agree about starting with the youth, but you do need one or two experienced heads in there as well. Beckham, Ferdinand and even Zamora were big losses for this World Cup, and to a point I think I'd even rather have had Gary Neville at right back than Johnson. Still, when the dust settles, I don't see them changing anything. I've always maintained to friends and family that I'm a Saints fan first and an England fan second, and I've always stuck by that. To be perfectly honest, I'm not even much of an England fan (in terms of football), I support them because I am patriotic about my country. It is, however, very hard to feel patriotic after today's result.

England did not win their group, Serbia didn't even make it through (must say I was suprised), France didn't make it through either and we're not on the same side of the draw as Brazil. COMPLETE ARSE. Portugal did not go out in the group stages. Arse. That said, Japan are looking good for the Quarters though, I stand by that...

No, but they have to beat Brazil to fulfil your prediction. Not impossible, but extremely tough.

I can't say I find fault with the booking system thus far. Aside from telling us the best way to order is online, and then charging us out of towners* £3 for the privilege, I've always found it easy to use and had my tickets delivered promptly. It is a fallible system, but sometimes that can work in your favour, as I found out ordering Pompey tickets last season. It does need an overhaul, but it could be worse. edit* Charging everyone £3 of course, but worse for those that can't buy tickets at SMS.

+1 I'll be starting down in the excruciating heat in the bowels of the Tube at 3pm, missing all the funshine sunshine fun and with no way of keeping up with the scores, except for sneaky glances at the Beeb website on my phone. It is for this reason that I hope England progress, as I can watch the last three games as England win the World Cup.

It will be announced in the Echo on July 3rd that we have signed Jordan Rhodes from Huddersfield. This transfer will then be pulled by Cortese and we will end up with James Beattie re-signing on July 7th, at 11:53pm.

Good, hardworking team, no standout players, but they know what they have to do to fight. Their firepower is somewhat lacking, so I don't think they'll go far, but should do enough to reach the quarters. Aside from the Netherlands though, that second spot was always up for grabs by any of the teams.

Germany, Argentina, Uruguay or the USA (perhaps), Brazil. If we win this World Cup, we'll have accomplished more than any other World Cup winner ever. It looks highly doubtful. I'd like to see us beat Germany and don't mind too much about going out to Argentina. Beating Germany would restore national pride, getting to the quarters was the minimum any England fan would have taken at the start of the tournament. Getting one over on that cheating anus Maradona would be so, so sweet though!
