The first full-length trailer for the series is finally here.

Hey @sanja Leave it with me, I'll see if I can find out.

Names don't get much better than Ginny Thrasher. Except when they're English Gardner.

If there's one thing I've learned from watching some of the action yesterday, it’s that water polo is brilliant.

Well done to Greg Van Avermaet for winning a men's cycling road race that bordered on apocalyptic at times. I was all in for Majka towards the end when he started turning himself inside out, but there were a lot of hard luck stories out there. Any number of them would have been deserved winners.

Can you get BBC iPlayer in the States? If so, it's all here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07nlqt7/olympic-ceremonies-2016-opening-ceremony-replay

That appointment was as leftfield as they come, although I can just about see the logic. In theory a manager like Martinez, who can inspire teams to excellent cup runs but appears to struggle with imposing his philosophy over the course of a full season in the league, should be quite well suited to the international game.

I don't remember the 1986 competition first hand, but I do miss the days when the Champions League was wide open and relative outsiders like Steaua, PSV and Red Star were in with a chance of winning. Since Porto in 2004 and at a push, Rafa Benitez's Liverpool, the whole thing has been dominated by teams you'd expect to win it.

The Man City of old would have probably been rattled by such a hostile atmosphere, I suppose we'll have to wait and see how it pans out with Guardiola at the helm and a group of players still looking to gel. On paper, they look capable of having a decent run, although I'd be very surprised if they were to equal last season’s semi-final finish under Pellegrini. It could be a hard slog for Ajax, too. Rostov are supposedly the Leicester of the Russian league.

Neither would I. You'd have to say it's one that City should get through, but certainly not one they can afford to take for granted. Villarreal will likely have too much for Monaco in what looks like the tie of the round aside from Porto-Roma. Tough draw for Dundalk unfortunately, although I don't think this Legia side is as good as the one that played Celtic off the park a few years ago. It was a real struggle for them to beat a moderate Slovakian outfit on aggregate in the last round. I don't know much about Hapoel, but keeping out Champions League regulars suggests that they're a strong defensive unit, which isn't good news for a side who struggle to break down their opposition. I would expect Celtic to just make it, but I wouldn't consider it an upset if they went out.

Porto and Roma is a pretty hot draw for a qualifier, it could have easily been a round of 16 tie. Celtic have somehow managed a better draw in the play-off than they did in the third prelim.

Oh to have been a fly on the wall when Kevin Mirallas found out that Roberto Martinez was taking over as manager of Belgium.

If you change your mind, you know where we are. The more the merrier!

Bloody hell, are we there already? Time really flies when you're doing nothing of note in the transfer market.

Blimey O'Reilly.

A lot of people loved 'Batman v Superman' and will probably love this too, but if the vast majority of reviews are savaging yet another DC adaptation, then it doesn't bode that well for their business model. There's going to be so much pressure on Wonder Woman now to get in good with the critics. If it doesn't, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those other projects were to mysteriously disappear from the calendar.

Enjoyed this one. I wouldn't put it up there with 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' (my favourite Shane Black film), but it was good fun. Quite the change of pace to see Ryan Gosling in a lighter role.

Not that it would be my decision to make, but I don't know if I could deprive the forum of sigs like Kiki's current one in good conscience.

We're fine for funds, although the offer is of course very much appreciated. I believe the boss has thought about the viglinks, but in the end decided against it. He's not really in this for the money.

I really didn't see this deal happening, but it looks like it's getting more inevitable by the day. I wonder if anyone will still have the audacity to turn up for the opening game of the season waving a 'Glazers Out' banner.

Here's the first look at Tyler Hoechlin alongside Melissa Benoist in full Super regalia.

Hello, good evening and welcome!

I'm still rooting for DC and Warners to get it right with this, but the trailer is such an about-face from all its previous reference points that it just comes across as a bit jarring. The problem is that Snyder was off-base in striking a balance between darkness and realism for 'Batman v Superman' and ended up with an excessively brooding movie that wasn't reflective of its characters. They've finally started writing the characters as they are, which is commendable, but it feels like a shock to the system because of what's gone before.
