Probably the only time Africans get to see their better players "en direct" cos they're all playing in Europe or China.

Havenaar was awful last night, couldn't do anything right, in fact he didn't do anything at all. French commentators decided he was a Sunday league player and Wenger didn't disagree.So as soon a Chung can get fit and get a few games he'll be back in the team. Wouldn't be surprised if he asks for a move in January if we don't play him at all.

2-0 now, I see Pompey are creeping up the table as well, haven't quite worked out what they're running on myself. Have they still got parachute payments?

Bearsy researching for next week's episode

Nagatomo, plays for Inter apparently.

thinking on full backs, Japan's left back in the game last night was sh*t hot. Probably playing in Germany though .

Plays for Standard Liege, Kawashima by name.

those are quite some allegations, hope they're factual because if not you may not have heard the last of them.

Don't know, the Polish like football and provided they keep the prices down (probably about 2 bob) they get some fair old crowds.

Shop and shàg novels are so 80s

Probaly about half way and lunchtime in Poland might well be evening prime time in Japan. Early morning TV in Brazil though. Saves all the European based Japanese and Brazilian players hiking half way round the world in either direction for a kick about too. Plus Japan are in Paris today, playing at the SDf tonight, don't know where Brazil are playing, more than likely somewhere in Europe though.n

Of course, doping being a far lesser crime in the U S of A than cheating on your wife and getting smacked with a golf club for it.

Well as perjury charges are now looking like a distinct possibility we might even get to find out whether the USADA's case stands up in a public court. Marion Jones went down for 6 months for perjury, Armstrong might even get a couple of years if found guilty. He made a lot of money from a 2005 court case where he stated categorically that he'd never doped and didn't know anything about doping in his teams. If he perjured himself and it was proven he's in big big trouble.

Pienaar is vastly overrated, Fellaini is a good player though.

We just have to make some improvement on the bowling, the Medium Fasts were pretty woeful yesterday and got quite rightly hammered about by the Sialkot batsmen.A couple of good overs at the start and an excellent catch by Maxwell. After that they were either just edging us down to the third man boundary or blasting us over the covers.As for Briggs not playing, well why is a 21 year old in such a hurry to get married anyway? NB Carberry should be ashamed of himself for running out Vince like that, Carbs is a snail in terms of T20 run scoring and Vince looked on song, plus it was Vince's call.

Vaz Te is out for quite a while, had an op on his damaged shoulder yesterday.Probably won't be back until December at the earliest.

I quite like Rugby actually, I go to most Clermont ASM games, going tomorrow to see them against Scarlets, cheap seats 13 euros.

That's why the player ratings on whoscored.com are interesting, they're based on many, many different aspects. According to those Ramirez is our best rated player, then SRL, then AL then MS but it's pretty close; something like 7.51 for GR, 7.4 for SRL, 7.2 for AL and 7.17 for MS. Those who played against Wigan and the Arse are penalised by fairly low scores from those games though.

I think they started long long ago. Few believed Armstrong dope free no matter what he said, the techniques were available and he used them to his best advantage. So no matter what the British cyclists say the suspicions are already about, same as French Swimmers,Jamaican Sprinters and whatever else have you(another one got caught last week, it's just a matter of time until they haul up a big fish).There's a big investigation going on in Kenya concerning their distance runners at present, one got caught by the patrol and now he's saying, nah most of them are at it. Isn't this what Frankie Andreu and Tyler Hamilton did? Everybody said oh no they're just jealous, surely not Lance, but at the end of the day they were right.

I wouldn't think Lllana will be replaced as Captain unless he asks to be, whether he'll do that or not I just couldn't say.

Mata,Adam and Hazard all have 4 assists to date, don't know how many Cazorla has though, probably 3

Not being able to hold onto the ball particularly well and erratic shooting are exactly what are stopping him from becoming a top,top player at the moment. He has such an ability to get himself into some really advantageous positions but then he sometimes loses the ball before shooting or shoots poorly. Mind you having said that RL didn't seem to have his shooting boots on on Sunday either; The real SRL would have buried that sitter that Morgan set him up with after some superb running with the ball down the right.

what a joke about alternative medicine ?

So that would be what Beloki twice,Heras maybe, Ulrich a couple of times and Zullê amongst others, Beloki was certainly cited in the Puerto investigation but not convicted of dopage, can't remember where Ulrich is on doping but he's certainly been under suspicion a good bit,Heras and Zullê have both been suspended for either positive controls or admitting doping.
