Good to see you again Jorge - welcome back! You too GG!

Great stuff, thanks again 2Shhweet!

Has anyone played any of the recent PES or FIFA games? I bought myself a copy of FIFA 12 on the PS3 last week and my first order of business was to start up a league. With the idea that pace and quick passing would help an inexperienced player (and a recent convert from PES) no end, I picked Arsenal and began my campaign. Before my first 3 games were over and done with I had five injuries, including Van Persie for three months. How about that for gritty realism? :| It would take an astonishing run of results for Mourinho's boys to throw La Liga away but if we're talking Champions League, I still wouldn't hesitate to back Barca against them. Despite being the more consistent side over the season, Madrid's mental block when playing Barca remains, as illustrated in the last Clasico.

So long Niall and thanks a million for everything - singlehandedly dragging the club out of administration and general oblivion, finding us a Texan billionaire, appointing Ricky Sbragia as manager. Well okay, maybe not that last part but still, the contribution made to our club by the doyen of disco pants is one that I doubt will ever be surpassed.

It wasn't half bad. I knew not to expect any great degree of subtlety after the first thirty seconds, when 'THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS YOUTH CULTURE' was plastered across the screen, but it had a lot going for it. Karen and the male lead (whose name currently escapes me) were surprisingly great.

Nice to see that Bérénice already has a thread here - if she didn't, I was going to start one. As anyone who saw 'The Artist' will attest, she's awesome.

The Artist

^Yay for the news of a new Tame Impala album! And on a slightly different note, the award for most random cover version of 2012 (so far) goes to...

Adriana Lima Cintia Dicker [3] Darla Baker [1] Doutzen Kroes Emanuela de Paula [2] Gisele Bundchen [4]

Natalie Portman [4] Carey Mulligan [1]

Nina Agdal [3] Jessica Perez [2]

Round 28: Shanina Behati Shannan Bregje

Toni Garrn [1] Nina Agdal [1]

Two new vids - one for the aforementioned new Jack White track, and another for the most recent Laura Marling single. The Laura one is mildly unnerving from about 1:30 onwards.

Though the fact that Bon Iver took best newcomer is kind of amusing in itself. Whatever next, Fleet Foxes for best R&B?

Natalie Portman [0] Lyndsy Fonseca [1]

Natalie Portman vs... Lyndsy Fonseca

^Natalie was nominated in December, but all actresses (including those who had already competed) were made available again at the end of January. The current scores are...
