I thought I saw Carlos Tevez driving up the M27 near Petersfield this morning. . .

Also it looks like either Brazil or Spain will be playing Tahiti in next year's confederations cup http://news.yahoo.com/tahiti-wins-2012-oceania-nations-cup-115502590.html

In all competitions (international and domestic) that was his 82nd goal of the season

Thing with Rasiak I think he deliberately made opposition defences forget he was on the pitch and then pounce when they least expected it. He was very good at attracting stick but also very good at shutting the critics up. Quality, quality finisher though, his goal against Derby in the play off semi final in the last minute summed him up. One touch and BAM! bottom corner - keeper no chance

Absolute rubbish. Wright's work rate was no better than anyone else's barring Rasiak. Take Alex Ostlund, he lacked talent but his work rate was in a different league to Wright's

I agree with this, Palmer took quite a bit of stick from our fans but I think it was more of a follow on from the stick he took when called up to the England squad under Graham Taylor. I thought he did a good job in the main as he could put himself about the pitch and do a lot of unnoticed work but there were some fans that just didn't see the role he did. TBF he didn't help himself with his attitude at times but I thought he got a lot of unwarranted stick. We've had worse players who have played more games than Palmer - Jermaine Wright

Benjani earned 15 grand a week on his non-event of a second spell with Pompey Just staggering.

All the 'kiddie RNB' that's in the charts today, also a few bands I haven't seen mentioned Linkin Park - all their stuff sounds exactly the same Busted - enough said Coldplay - just so dreary Slipknot - please grow up

I was more interested in Eurovision

Same thing that's going on with all these Smiths over here HTH

Great lad and player. I seem to remember him scoring in the 2006 World Cup for Tunisia to snatch a draw against Saudi Arabia

Man City's backup keeper Costel Pantilimon is taller than those two HTH

As a retired DI who was in the police force (sorry, service) for 30 years I think the policeman's job would change anyone to some degree. A copper's life is a tough one, not just because you can be on the go constantly at the same time as being crippled by breathtaking bureaucracy but you have to change as a person in some ways in order to accommodate the job. I say job but I always thought being a copper wasn't just a job, it was for life. Certainly was for me. I found it very tough at first but as I rose through the ranks it became strangely easier in some ways even though i had more and more responsibility. But for all those not liking coppers (and yes there are quite a few ****s in the police to say the least) never has the phrase "walk a mile in a man's shoes" been truer I've always been a bit of a laid back character and using humour was one way of relieving stress/coping with the job when it came to the people I worked with. I've had 30 years of witnessing first hand the appalling things human beings do to each other but was able to self-teach myself to live with it in various different ways. I've met no-end of rapists, murderers, arsonists, paedophiles etc. and even within these categories I've met all types of personality. Quite a few of them have described the horrible things they've done to people to try and wind me up and I found the best method of coping is interrupting and telling them a random story about a random subject until they shut up. Take your average junior officer out on the street though, they've got to interact with the scum of the earth for large parts of their job and when you're doing it on a day-by-day basis it would change anyone IMO. You've got to develop one hell of a long fuse and a lot of patience to go anywhere. Since I've retired and got odd jobs to keep me busy, I really did struggle to adapt to the real world again. "Social life?" what's all that about?

Can't find it on youtube unfortunately but a junior police officer I worked with in the mid 90s met the same fate as this bloke. Poor girl was ribbed about it for weeks afterwards

I genuinely once had a nightmare when I dreamt I woke up and a life size version of Captain Black was standing silently next to my bed.

Captain Black was the scariest puppet in history. FACT.

I think you've finally seen the light

If Bolton go down Lee Chung Yong

Fonte!!!

Guly's been excellent so far IMO

Who needs Messi when you have Jose Fonte?

Totally agree. I think Connor did the best he could in an impossible situation. You could tell he got the players giving their all but he was totally out of his depth and everyone knew it. I think he's come out of this with a lot of credibility in the way he's conducted himself. As for the board, what a bunch of clowns. Here's Moxey emphasising that "the Wolves job isn't for a novice" days before he hiredConnor
