We're still 5th then, still believe we could in theory finish above Liverpool,Utd and Spurs. Artur will have to cut out the comedy though.

He's a penalty king, not much use if you don't get any.

but they were extremely efficient in the last 20 yards. Still a gift goal after 14 seconds helps.

Looks like Utd are going to be scraping the barrel to get a decent side out today. Must have 5 or 6 regular starters out I think.

And Lamela, makes Gaston look like a good player at less than half of the price, I really really wonder about the standard of Italian football sometimes. City's signing Negredo looks like a good player though.

Oh yes it would, can't touch a keeper in France, instant whistle job. Anyway here's a little video, sorry about the 30 secs publicity but at least you can stop it and see Giroud pushing Boruc with both hands. After that it's up to our resident refs. http://www.football.fr/angleterre/articles/video-boruc-dribbleur-ridicule-440116/

foul or a game for men ? decide for yourself. Probably not a PL foul, would be in Italy or Spain.

I liked what Wanyama did yesterday but I do think he could distribute the ball a weeny bit better (or quicker) on occasions. However with Lambert having a shocker like he did yesterday perhaps it wouldn't make much difference. Lambert with 1 shot and 53% pass completion just negated whatever we tried. Osvaldo has to start soon...and Gaston

Well I watched the match on Foot+ yesterday and the absolutely couldn't be more pro-Arse than that French commentators said that there was a hint of a foul, they dismissed it in a flash because well Giroud is god innit. Giroud is a very dirty player but as we all got told last week against Ukraine he does it so well he deserves to get away with it. I've a recording, I'll have a look at half-time in the Spurs-Citeh game.

looked like hamstring or maybe a dead leg.

didn't think they were a better team at all, just got lucky when we got sloppy. We were poor in attack though, good build up, not much at the end of it.

I'd expect him to be rethinking that now. We looked very weak in defence without Lovren and with Shaw being injured. Can't see Yoshida wanting to stay in the background for ever so we might need a CB.

that would be 2-1 to us then, think JWP will score today.

****i* no Lovren, a zero pointer for us today then.

Football is a team game, a bad team can make a good player look crap and a good team can make a crap player look fairly good.

don't get your hopes up. The French CMs for Brazil will be Cabaye,Pogba,Mavuba and Matuidi, only a long term injury to one of those 4 will give anyone else a chance. Hodgson has said he doubts if there will be any new faces whatsover in his WC30 and France will be exactly the same. It's over for Morgan this time round I'm afraid.

Unless he can finds a Swiss gran or something he can book his summer holidays from now on. Won't get picked for France unless he moves to a CL club in January of course but he won't do that.

We've just had a 2 ft snow dump, pretty exceptional for mid-November.

Shaw will soon be of no particular interest to Southgate anyway.

shouldn't be too much of a problem for them really. Lovren didn't play last Friday, thought he was a regular starter for Croatia as a rule.

not Koscielny anyway, he got sent off last Friday for a free for all wrestling challenge on the Ukrainien CF. Sagna won't start, neither will Giroud so that leaves err sort of none'ish Arsenal players in the French side.

Giroud isn't starting, it will be DD's pet binky Benzema. DD's mate Zizou has obvious been shouting at him as neither Madrid player started last friday but they'll both start tonight even if Varane is far too green for the occasion and has a dodgy knee, no doubt will be having cortisone injections.

Well not to put too fine a point on it but in my opinion DD would like to be coach of a New Zealand team.

WC goes to work ya know. A regular job, not poncing about all day with golfers and other hobbledehoys. So what can I do for you ?

Indeed, if you've run 1h40 for a half you could be looking at around 3h35 for a clean run marathon although you'll not get that at London. You can run a 3hr marathon off 50 miles a week if the training is right.
