'Young, gifted and English' has long been a ridiculously costly transfer policy and on the face of it, this is a tremendous deal for us. I have little doubt though that at some point in the next couple of years, Henderson will start banging goals in ala Gerrard in his prime, and make the fee look like a pittance. Unless the club spend the money wisely, I shan't be going back next season. Does anyone want David Ngog on loan?

If there's an online option to remove the 'woah's from the Kaiser Chiefs' music, I'm all for it. I'm still a believer in the album format as an artform so this isn't something I'd like to see done across the board, but it's still an interesting little idea. Bands and/or artists are in the unenviable position of having to convince fans to pay for something they can get for free elsewhere, and this could be a way to encourage people to engage with the music a little more.

Not bad at all. Coincidentally, I've been enjoying this song by Tasseomancy, who (I'm reliably informed) moonlight as backing singers for Austra.

I don't see why not. Marisa Miller. Find me a model on a ladder.

Welcome back Aranka. We've had a few rounds where the winner has reached ten points quite quickly, but if a model gets to eight and a reasonable amount of time passes without further votes, we usually just move on. Nina Agdal [5] Charlbi Dean Kriek [3]

Match of the tournament, if not the year, and a Federer-Nadal final. Just like old times.

I'd been hoping for a while that scans of the Company article would turn up. 2Shhweet = hero for life!

Poor Vincent.

So Fred, do you want Hughes or Moyes (or neither)?

Schiavone and Li Na in the final. I'd be lying if I said I saw that one coming.

^The only realistic chance United had of winning in the first place was to catch Barca on a real off day (Exhibits A & B: Hercules and Sociedad) or to get incredibly lucky (Exhibit C: Arsenal - their performance in the last 20 minutes of the first leg masked what could and should have been a massacre) but it's fair to say that they did little to help their cause. Not only did Fergie's much-vaunted masterplan for stopping Messi fail to materialise, pairing the attack-minded Giggs with the relatively pedestrian Carrick to try and nullify Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in the midfield was tantamount to suicide.

Bump. How about a model who's pointing at something.
