Looking great, though I would have loved some gameplay footage. All in good time, I guess.

First track from Got A Girl (aka Mary Elizabeth Winstead and producer Dan the Automator). Surprisingly great.

^Much appreciated Fred! Pleased to be back on top after a couple of lean years. I might even consider talking to the press again.

Video for QOTSA's 'My God Is The Sun'.

More Marling now, as 'Once I Was An Eagle' is streaming ahead of it's official release next week. Hope it isn't region-centric. http://www.guardian....as-eagle-stream

Hope there's room on the bandwagon for one more.

I get the feeling that...

Europe: 3.5

With a subs' bench strongly resembling a creche and another foolish red card in the second half, we eventually crumbled thanks to one of Bale's trademark potshots at the end. I'd have preferred it if Di Canio hadn't had to threaten to curtail the players' holidays in order to motivate them, but I'm fairly content with the performance. It was disciplined and for the most part we didn’t lose our brains, a spirited showing considering the meagre resources at hand. So pleased to see the back of the Premier League season. Roll on Champions League final!

I'm on board.

Wildly eventful Copa Del Rey final last night at the Bernabeu, Courtois's save towards the end was as good as any goal I've seen recently. I'm putting a fiver on Belgium to win the 2016 Euros as we speak.

That Harper's Bazaar shoot is quite lovely.

'Origins' teaser trailer released. Reliably informed that the 'full' trailer is expected on Tuesday.

Nice choices of music throughout. Trevor looks hilarious.

Thanks guys for the pics and for keeping the thread going.

Love it. Thanks!

^Glorious. Fingers crossed for HQ in the near future.

How lovely, thanks Jennka!

I was really liking where it was going until...

And what a disturbing freezeframe for the 'I Sat by the Ocean' vid.

End of the road for David Beckham. Retirement seemingly contagious at the moment. Also just heard Chris Waddle suggest that Beckham wouldn't make it onto a list of the top 1000 players of the last 40 years. You've been on too many nights out with Gazza, pal.

11,000 replies in this thread. Pretty sweet. Disaster for Benfica, eleven lovely trophies in ten years for clueless evil mad git Abramovich (© the English press) and credit to Rafa Benitez, who leaves Chelsea in far better shape than when he arrived. Given that Ivanovic's winning goal went in on the 92 minute mark, I'd be most interested to know the exact point when John Terry decided to change into his full kit and boots.

My goodness.
