Too old? The 64-year-old Samuel L. Jackson and the 48-year-old Robert Downey may disagree.

The gig's actually this Thursday, I'm so looking forward to it.

Another new track from Sleigh Bells landed last week.

Now that's an appointment I could get excited about, although quite honestly it's difficult now to picture a manager worth his salt viewing the Sunderland job as anything other than a poisoned chalice. Whatever happens, I just hope a little more thought is put into the decision this time, rather than simply seeing who Roberto De Fanti is mates with.

It's looking like Kevin Ball will be in charge for at least the Peterborough and Liverpool games. A big ask, but there's a lot of trust without much expectation. Long term, although I don't consider myself his biggest fan, I think Di Matteo is probably the closest thing we have to a safe option at the moment. Either that or we wait a couple of weeks until David Moyes is available. Whoever it ends up being will be facing an uphill struggle though, that's for sure. Extreme short-sightedness is becoming the norm at the SoL and given that our next realistic chance of a home win is in December, I'd have to say it's questionable whether the new man will even see out 2013.

Sessegnon probably won't turn in another performance like that for months, but Di Canio must have been the only person in football who didn't think he'd be motivated today. Clearly, we were nowhere near ready to hit the ground running at the start of the season and evidently, we're still not. Too many new signings, too many (albeit underperforming) players ostracised, too few pre-season friendlies and too much chopping and changing in games. Liverpool next up. If I can bring myself to go, I'll be taking 44 beach balls.

Thread cleaned. Please guys, keep it civil and on topic at all times.

It is rather easier to get yourself killed in this one, I must say. In terms of storyline progress, I'm still not very far at all, as I've spent most of my time exploring. As always, I love the little sidelines Rockstar adds to their games. It would have been so easy just to tack on a couple of half-arsed sports simulations, but the golf and tennis are actually a lot of fun.

Just caught the highlights of AC Milan-Celtic. Anthony Stokes playing in a Champions League game at the San Siro? So wrong on so many levels.

I'm beginning to think defending Chelsea's Europa title was the Mourinho masterplan all along.

Only really scratching the surface at the moment, but it's definitely a winner so far. The storyline and voice acting are among the best I've ever encountered, and the map is indeed ridiculously colossal. Already been eaten by a mountain lion, too.

...And here's Lorde, and my favourite of the evening, Drenge.

Rather interesting line-up on the Jools Holland show for its first week back. Here's Kings of Leon and Kanye West...

Mourinho loses to Basel on the same night that Benitez's Napoli edge out last year's finalists. Quick, everyone buy shares in A4 paper before the fans fire up the protest clip art!

^RVP seems to be losing his rag at least once per game these days. I personally feel an apathy attack coming on whenever I see Cleverley, Carrick, Young and Valencia play, but I suppose it's a bit different when they're your teammates.

Train Of Love / Johnny Cash

Me too. I believe she's also appearing via flashback though, so all may not be lost.

Thanks! Most of the pages linked above seem to have been 404ed as of late, which is a great shame.

Love this one. Looks like I may have to learn how to spell 'Waxahatchee', instead of just copying and pasting it, as I did there. http://youtu.be/ykjkZaL9RLk

Is it a goal? Is it a red card? Neither, apparently. Will the referee be reprimanded for a disastrous decision compounded by the complete dereliction of duty that followed? Of course not, no top six clubs were harmed.
