And Caley 3-0 up. Good to see that sacking Jocky Scott is proving to be the quick fix Melville planned.

Bring back John Barnes/Tommy Burns/Dr. Jozef Venglo.

I'm starting to feel like a total cunt for even reading this thread.

They were, but then idol_wild ruined drugs for everyone.

Glorious.

This is a good one. Also, smug, "quirky" acoustic songs in every fucking advert on TV, and the worrying proliferation of male ponytails at Aberdeen Uni.

3-1 win away from home... ...no big deal.

Presumably this, like cheating on his wife, will lead to more praise for Terry for "showing great character" to "concentrate on his football" through another self-inflicted crisis. And all in Andy Gray's ridiculous clenched teeth voice that he reserves for speaking about Terry and Gerrard. (I'm aware that he might not have actually done anything wrong in this case, but I don't care.)

That would be Adriano Galliani - classic human. Berlusconi is in charge of signing fat Brazilian superstars and pop stars' husbands though. Can't really argue with much of that. I think this is an election year in Italy though, so Berlusconi may well invest heavily in the squad.

He's definitely out...according to the hilariously unreliable goal.com. Huntelaar won't start, regardless of whether Pato plays. Borriello will start, and he will run about a lot and try to knock people over, which I can't imagine is going to faze Vidic too much. Things will only get interesting when Inzaghi inevitably comes on. I dread to think who Milan will play in place of Nesta. Bonera, probably.

Pato's out, apparently. Nesta too. Not good.

Fiorentina - Bayern was a great game. You know who's smarter than everyone else? Van Bommel and Schweinsteiger, that's who. Schweinsteiger especially is just a freakishly good all-round footballer. Looking forward to Man Utd - Milan. I predict high levels of Seedorf.

Jaaaay Teeeee let 'iz footbawl do thuh taaawkin' once again by doing a brilliant Charlie Mulgrew impression for Milito's goal. And while I'm on the subject of centre backs, Walter Samuel is one of the last of a dying breed of dirty, hacking bastards. Great player. Him and Cambiasso are top class, which is why Maradona probably won't take them to the World Cup, being the coke-addled bam that he is. He'll probably leave otu Zanetti and Milito as well, just for good measure.

Post-Nothing was one of my favourite albums of last year.

He's never struck me as a bad guy, apart from that one brutal assault. I enjoy the fact that he's as mad as a lorry. Here's him congratulating a team mate on a goal:

Faces I would never tire of punching:

As humiliated and angry as I feel, whatever waste of organs spat at McGhee needs their fucking teeth knocked out.

I'm embarassed about the fact that I still lose the plot over this every year.

Sounds like this was good. On that basis, I probably should have, y'know, actually bought a fucking ticket.

Can't decide whether to go to this or go to sleep. Are there still tickets available on the door?

Thanks to Stalkmaster Vega I now know who cap'n euan and Nefarious C are. Proper stalk, because I don't think either of them know who I am.

"Head outstretched"? Pretty sure I meant head up. Maybe not though - the Dazzler doesn't play by the rules.

Look at that technique: leaning back, head outstretched, straight leg. That's how you do it, kids.

This weekend's pet hate is the number of people I went to school with who've suddenly started showing an interest in rugby since going to uni. I blame Edinburgh.

Working, but should make it in time for the last two bands.
