PLAGIARISM!

We've got Yoann Folly off Southampton, a young holding midfielder who impressed during his loan spell, good news. We *might* still get Carson on season loan if no one better registers their interest. COME ON. We appear to have taken Talbot & Maclean to the US as our strikers, and no one else. I love Talbot and he needs to get fit, but if he gets injured (likely in any context) we are in trouble. Again. The local paper didn't list Deon Burton as included for the tour, but I can't think why he wouldn't be.

They're at least bad in a vaguely amusingly way, unlike Dream Theater.

Donkey Konga had 'Enjoy The Silence'!

Good lad. Every day now, I listen to one disc of this at least

Ban lists.

How do you know he isn't a racist? The fascist culture of Italian football is grotesque, and as I said earlier, Mad Matta doesn't have the cleanest past.

I'd love to know what Materazzi said. I think he was in 'The Ultras' when he was younger, one of the many nazi groups with a prominent position in Italian football.

I'm near to tears.

Good stuff.

They're good lads, don't have the new un yet tho. Mission Of Burma and Islands are both quality.

I have to go with Italy, if only because Cannavaro is player of the tournament. Zidane's probably done enough to run 2nd though, and if he wins the world cup to sign off with I'd harbour no ill will.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn't really scary at all, though. Enjoyable, but no 'scarier' than the remake.

Fuck the diving stereotype, Italy didn't rely on it last night, good ref, good game, great extra time when they kicked back to life, and two glorious goals. I was particularly fond of Del Piero's, cos it's always nice to see the old guard turn it on at the right moment. He wasn't even in Germany's half when Gillardino got to the edge of their box. Awesome.

I kind of see why Matt loves Avalon, but I seem to like different Roxy songs to him in general. Deep Cuts by The Knife is the best synth pop album I've heard recently. I'd go as far to say it's the best I've ever heard actually, though it's certainly not my field.

It's dangerous to mix red bull with alcohol. One shouldn't participate in that practise. Yeah. Someone better tell every drinks establishment in the UK, though.

Nah, fuck it, bring Hogan back and have him win. Clean. In a very short period of time. I'd piss myself laughing.

Not very impressive really, is it? I guess by default that means McClaren is the right choice, (and even then, it's the least prestigious trophy on that list) but only if you eliminate better managers by virtue of their nationality, which is what I don't understand. Also, it's only England, so it's not bothering me too much. I think you have to be able to laugh at them a little.

On Sven: Yes he fell apart in the last 6 months, but I don't think the press and the FA should have pushed him into a public decision before the tournament, and then subsequently alienated two world class managers in Hiddink and Scolari before plumping for Steve effing McClaren. English managers don't win things, when was the last time one won the FA cup or the premiership or any major tournament?

Ha, I like that one.

Meh, depends on the job and the regularity.

So is Soundwave going to be an iPod? They should have set it in the eighties.

Oh man. I hope he's big enough to laugh about this later.

The text is totally unnecessary, but I like that.

What's wrong with Bruce Arena?

I like '12:51' and 'reptilia' quite a bit. Not enough to check out that album though. Never the worst thing that got big.
