Welcome Rosario....nice to have an Italian around, only one I think .

Marius Pontmercy in Les Mis. I had "Pont" and "Merci" as "thankful bridge in France" days ago, just never put it together . Nice one Jim.

What's to say Mikel wouldn't have won had he stayed fit? Or Yak? Or VDM ? Have to take the season as a whole, you can't go handing out awards willy-nilly to people who've only played, say, twelve games all season can you? Oh, wait a minute..... .

Kathy McGowan presented Ready Steady Go....she's Michael Ball's partner. There I stall .

Played a blinder against Wigan after a two week break. Also topped player of the season table until the beginning of November. The clues are there. If he's fresh he's worth his place, knackered he ain't.

Hmmm....I've got RSG--->Cathy McGowan--->Michael Ball which seemed promising for a show but I've come to a grinding halt .

Are we talking TV show or stage show Jim (momentarily thought I was onto something with Pontius Pilate from Godspell or JC Superstar but they're 70's)? TV shows all I can come up with is Ready Steady Go!

Same here, it's pure genius. Don't think the film was that bad, but it was always an impossible task for me....was never going to do the book justice.

Stunning ending, never seen anything like it so late in a fight. The fact that Taylor had no complaints about being stopped fourteen seconds from a win says it all.

Exactly what I said to the wife this morning. He's not the player of the season.

Not the point though dark. It's cheap bottom shelf TV, I'm not doubting that some find it entertaining but BAFTA should be about excellence....top end stuff...not ephemeral tat. Couldn't agree more Jim. Incidentally, the executive producer (one of the named winners) of best single drama last night, "White Girl" was Greg Brenman. He's my father-in-law's cousin .

That's a good spot. Looks like it's a black shirt that's had the pink superimposed on it, where the shirt's not flat the lines still are. Could still be a genuine mock-up, but certainly it's not what it appears to be.

Harry Hill!? BAFTA!? Again!? WTF!? I know a lot of people think he's funny (find toothache funnier personally) but how in the world does he keep getting awards for a clip show?! At least he seems to realise how ridiculous it is, said as much in his acceptance. No audience, canned laughter, cheapest bargain basement schedule filling TV. Absurd.

Plainly been an agreement among the players. Hollow victory and Giggs knows it.

Joey's not had a run since his injury, four games for him to re-establish his partnership with Lescott and I don't think we'll go to Wembley any weaker for the change. We're blessed with three center backs of real quality, not a problem particularly as the two of them kept a clean sheet at Stamford Bridge last week seeing off the Premier's top scorer (Anelka) to such an extent that he was subbed after an hour. Don't think anyone would argue with giving Osman a break, the last time he had some time off (international break) he came back and played an absolute blinder against Wigan....that Leon would be a huge asset at Wembley .

"I could dance with you till the cows come home...On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows when you came home."

I managed Bill.....took a lot more than temporary paralysis to keep me from the bar in those days .

Faultless drive from Jenson, very impressive.

Love to do it. Did a big half marathon (Reading) a lot of years back and it's a hell of a buzz running in such a big race with so many people watching. There were about 12,000 in it, I came 4,485th and was crippled for days. Had to crawl into the pub after, jumped out of my mates car to get the beers in (was close to closing on a Sunday lunchtime) and my legs gave way....couldn't get up .

Old one about Arteta that you've changed the title of. You don't think Jags is worth his own? Still feel really shit about this today. Hope the lad spends a bit of his rehab browsing Everton forums so he knows how the fans feel about him.

Think it says a lot for the sort of player and person he is that peoples reaction has been one of sympathy for him rather than depression because of the weakening of the team. Hopefully he'll get a few more chances at silverware in the coming years.

Confirmed on the OS . A shred of good news from today. http://evertonfc.com/news/archive/europe-guaranteed.html

http://evertonfc.com/news/archive/jagielka...-cup-final.html Very sad.

The Devonian! Can cope with losing this....Jags is the only concern for me at the mo .

Unlikely I don't think....he's not personally charged with anything....but possible. Toyota's are light, particularly Glock....got four laps less fuel than Button & Hamilton (who both have the same amount). Trulli a couple of laps less than the Brits but Vettel is carrying more! Got probably three extra laps on them. He's beginning to look like a hugely impressive driver!
