And we've still got Lovren on the bench And we've still got Lovren on the bench And we've still got Lovren Still got Lovren Still got Lovren on the bench

Sterling's head is already at the Emirates. He is probably watching in amazement at the great team and dreaming that one day he could play for them. Hope the irony isn't lost on them.

I know quite a few Latvians and a couple of them hate Russia. I think it's fairly safe to say they wouldn't be welcome in Latvia if they turned up with an army. I would send forces just to hang around in Latvia, whilst continuing the economic war against Russia. Russians will soon get fed up with Putin when they start running out of food.

Lovren the only one to even make the bench today in Arsenal vs Liverpool.

What did the pirate say on his 80th birthday? Aye matey!

I'm Sol Campbell and so is my wife.

That's always my first thought whenever someone refers to a footballer aging badly. Paul Williams is another. I can't find a recent photo but if you search for Cee Lo Green you will get a rough idea.

Usually from some bullsh*t wannabe journalist on twitter. This is the first time I've heard it from the mond paard

As I understood it, J Rod is back in training and may be available in 4 or 5 weeks.

"Normally he is in 4 or 5 weeks ready for playing" - Koeman in the press conference today.

Can he play in goal?

What about ter Stegen?

Why would they spend £40m on Pelle when Jermaine Wright is available on a free?

I can't watch A League of Their Own without thinking it's just a sh*t version of They Think It's All Over.

Just watching 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. I think the combination of Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock and John Richardson works pretty well on a panel show. Reminds me of when Mark Lamarr used to host Buzzcocks with Bill Bailey and Phil Jupitus. Some comedians who I might not find funny individually work pretty well on panel shows.

Flora or Levadia? You need to be more specific.

I see no reason why they can't be included.

Seems sensible to have a thread discussing all the issues which could affect our rivals in the League run in. Liverpool have announced Sturridge will be sidelined for about a month with a hip injury. This is on top of 3 match suspensions for Gerrard and Skrtel and an injury to Lallana.

Selfish isn't really the word. If (and it's only speculation at this point) this was a suicide the guy was obviously dealing with some pretty awful demons. Part of the problem is that pilots cannot work for an airline if they are being treated for depression. Even if they get over it, it will look pretty bad on your CV, which means there are probably a few depressed pilots out there, not getting the help they need. This wouldn't be the first suicidal crash (not including terrorism). Have a search for Egyptair 990 or PSA 1771, unless your a nervous flyer in which case probably best not.

This is incorrect. The door can be opened from the outside by anyone with the right code. The pilots and cabin crew have to know this code but even if it is punched into the keypad it can be overridden by the pilot. This is to prevent any hijackers from gaining access to the cockpit. Suicidal pilot seems to fit this best, as awful as it sounds. The most plausible scenario is that one of them waited for the other to go to the toilet, then blocked him from getting back into the cockpit, hence the banging on the door. If the pilot was incapacitated, the other one would have been able to gain access to the cockpit. This wouldn't explain the descent either.

Obviously not but they always seemed to be teetering around language and content which was a bit 'edgy for prime time' shall we say. AS JBS alluded to, I'd bet the TG cutting room is littered with colourful language and inappropriate remarks about what they really think of some cars or situations.

I sometimes wonder if Top Gear should be on an hour later, after the watershed.

Indeed. I can understand people wanting JC sacked and I can understand people wanting him back but I can't understand giving him a financial reward for physically assaulting someone. I don't want him on ITV as ITV is sh*te and haven't broadcast anything decent since they lost the F1 coverage 6 years ago. They would probably have Cheryl presenting it along with some metrosexual tw*t from Corrie.

I do like May and Clarkson has some good moments, Hammond though p*sses me off and tries too hard to be funny. I quite like some of Bruno Senna's TV work and wouldn't mind someone like that on the show. Obviously he is a driver and would need to be complemented by presenters with more broadcasting charisma but someone like that would be good.
