It's hard not to have doubts over the legitimacy of his claims, but the story seems to have been met with a complete lack of surprise, which is rather unsettling in itself. Whatever ends up being the truth of the matter, let's hope justice is done.

So dreadful that it's strangely endearing. He's the new Mark Benton!

Mannone's desperate slow-mo attempts at keeping the 'shot' out were agonising to watch, and the error may have quelled any thoughts of the great escape being a slim possibility again, but it would be a shame if that moment was remembered as any kind of season-defining one. It's been such a comedy of errors since the word go, and Vito is one of the few members of the squad who deserves to emerge from this dismal campaign with any credit whatsoever. Just seen the Bale goal from last night, absolutely stunning. If he'd tried running off the pitch against us though, someone would probably have chucked a pie at him.

Connor Wickham settles the title race - now there's a sentence I never thought I'd type. A convincing impersonation of a team capable of survival tonight, but the reality is that it's too little, too late. It's just possible though that Poyet is still the right man to lead us in the Championship (cringe!) next season.

Tonight's the night.

Surprising to see Shay Given named as one of the temporary replacements, I was under the impression that Lambert had had enough of him as well.

Thanks Raf! How curious that Diego Maradona and Shakira are on the Mexican list. I'll now be heartbroken if 'Age of Ultron' doesn't include a Thai food equivalent of the shawarma scene.

Awww, her little face on The Graham Norton Show when he made her think the Spice Girls were coming on.

Forgot to mention it before, but it was really fun seeing Batroc make an appearance at the beginning. He was an obscure and very over-the-top French villain with a foolish costume and ludicrous moustache. The movie paid homage to him by toning down his costume but letting him keep his signature colours.

Surely 'Neighbours' should have been ahead of Skippy on the Australian list? I hadn't heard about the shots being localised for different territories until just the other day, although I did wonder at the time why an American hero would have England's World Cup victory in 1966 down as one of his main things to catch up on. I'd be most interested now to find out how many different ones they made, and what was on them.

Extended teaser boasting the first full clip from the movie is here. http://youtu.be/cZOnlirrRFg

Colossus, Iceman, Bishop, Kitty, Blink and Sunspot take on the Sentinels in this new 'Opening Battle' clip. Seeing Iceman using his ice slide makes me feel like a kid again. http://youtu.be/Wn_4k-rri1Y

Very nice.

Real lead track from Lana Del Rey's 'Ultraviolence' (turned out that last one was an old song falsely identified as new), with the Black Keys' Dan Auerbach on production duty. Rather magnificent.

I haven't seen it yet, unfortunately. It's a bit of a surprise to hear that Quicksilver is being used for endorsements though, all signs seemed to point to him having a relatively modest role in the movie. Not that that's a bad thing, he looks like a member of Smashing Pumpkins circa 'Zeitgeist'.

Sounds like Karen's hair is going solo...

Oh Luis Figo (who made the draw), how could you? Would have much preferred it for Mourinho to face either his old club Real Madrid or his old mate Guardiola and get stuffed. Champions League semi-final draw Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Europa League semi-final draw Sevilla vs Valencia Benfica vs Juventus

Always a pleasure, thanks Mahi and Sanja.

Excuse me while I scrape my jaw off the floor.

Latest from Boston band Quilt. Love it.

Perhaps they'll put an easter egg on the DVD, where Jackman plays every part in the movie.

Some of the recent off-the-field issues at Barca must have the fans seriously doubting the sanity of those running the club. Martino would do well to consider taking a job with Argentina’s national team, for a comparatively quiet time.

Great to see Wayne Rooney hitting his usual pre-international tournament levels of form and fitness.

I feel the same genuine giddiness watching Atletico’s Champions League exploits as I do watching Dortmund in full flow. It'll be a tall order, but I really hope they go on to win it.
