You can see Cole mouthing "why me?"

Shame, we could do with a top-quality striker right now.

I often wonder whether the failure of the 'big' English clubs in Europe is down to the use of truly neutral referees.

No it doesn't and yes we do.

For me, it never changes. Some pictures show white and gold and some blue and black, but that is just the photo and not the dress. I can see how colour correction can change its appearance but not how it can change whilst you're looking at it. I've spent enough time adjusting the colour balance on TV cameras and playing with Photoshop to know what can be achieved but for me any individual photo is only ever one thing.

We've been doing that for weeks.

Me too, maybe a hint of Ivory. http://colorvisiontesting.com/ishihara.htm

Human perception is a strange beast. Colour blindness?

More accurate than a census, particularly and out of date one. Anyway, the actual figures are not really important, only as a relative comparison perhaps.

We can talk round the figures all day long but all that consequences are the results which are obvious to all of us.

They became Argos.

He made the character his own but was a very good actor. RIP Leonard, thanks for the memories.

Something like that. http://www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/leo-mckinstry/333097/Tories-fail-to-solve-immigration-crisis-that-blights-Britain http://cornerstone-group.org.uk/2008/02/25/how-many-people-live-in-britain-–-by-greg-hands-mp/ And from 2007: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment/city-eye-facts-on-a-plate-our-population-is-at-least-77-million-395428.html

What about FFP?

Players come, players go. It's what they do here and now that matters. They're like workhorses, run 'em into the ground and then move 'em on.

Nobody knows for certain. The official census figure certainly understates it but estimates from food suppliers and other utilities put the total figure much higher than the 62m.

No, ideally going out at the semi-finals after extra time and penalties. If they got to the final it would be a bit too close.

It all depends on the colour settings of the monitor they're using. It's a common problem for anyone using Photoshop. We have no end of problems in our business with people specifying Pantone (printing only) for a paint colour, usually a RAL code. I've even had one customer who specified a RAL code which was a bright orange but then refused the complete sign until it had been repainted in the colour he thought he was getting.

True, but it lessens the chances of any of them getting a career-threatening injury

You can't judge colours from a photo on a computer screen. I used to be involved in TV research, colour studio sampling standards to be precise. As far as TVs go there is no such colour as brown.

Those figures are for the UK, not England. And South-East England is even worse. Then take into account that the figure there is 'only' 62 million whereas according to many estimates it's nearer 80m.

Have we been paid yet?

I've checked and your figure of 5% is way too high, and at that time it included Ireland and Scotland which I didn't. Don't you find it a concern that 1% of the world is living in this tiny patch of land, and it's getting larger?

Yeah, mixed feelings about this. I'd rather they'd gone out in the semi-finals.
