That was something else. Iniesta's incredible. And Mourinho was surprisingly gracious in the press conference.

Or these ...

My own amateurish translation ... although the horrors of Google translate get the gist across pretty well ... The third-best leaders in England have a Spanish label (They don’t have their own stadium and play in a borrowed public athletics track – they lead League One with 25 points from 12...

Getting raped by blisters at the moment, just when I was actually starting to enjoy the training. Sucks.

Sounds like you didn't have a clear view of the incident. Elding was the one who elbowed Greer as soon as he entered the box, Greer pushed him away, Elding went down clutching his chubby face. Sure, it's a sending-off for Greer, if a slightly petty one, but why; a) was Elding not shown red...

Is he? It's easy to throw labels like that around, but save for a promising Euro 2004, what's he actually done at the highest level to justify that kind of hype? He scores goals for United, but so did Andy Cole. Obviously he's got ability, but the best have the mental toughness to produce under...

Just a fantastic set of designs.

That's about right, although Adam Johnson was decent, I thought. Rooney picked up right where he left off after the World Cup - huffing, puffing and being inable to control a thing.

Because he's got no brain. He's got no positional discipline, and he needs the team built around him, which is fine for Liverpool, but has been a pain in the arse at international level. That said, this system we saw last night puts him in a position where he doesn't need to do anything so...

As above really - I'm no big Gerrard fan, but he delivered. About time we started being ruthless and weeding out the consistent underperformers - goodbye to Lampard, Terry and Rooney, please.

Rooney really is a grade A ****. And a bit shit.

Las Alpujarras, in the Sierra Nevada? We're a couple of hours inland ...

It's only training from the 24th-27th.

Great. But this isn't a word changing its meaning, it's people who don't understand the grammar of their own language. Of isn't an auxiliary verb, and isn't about to become one.

But completely wrong. It's not a difficult point of grammar.

People aren't actually saying "I text" in the past, though - it's just that the -ed suffix isn't stressed and gets lost, so it ends up getting written as "text". Like "Would have" ends up being written as "would of" ... it's the pronunciation being reproduced in writing.

Peru v Argentina in Lima ... complete with tanks outside the ground. Here;

We've got plenty of dross - are Bolton, Blackburn, Wigan, Wolves, any better than the likes of Espanyol, Osasuna, Almeria etc? Let's face it, the Premiership's got to be the most predictable league around for ups and downs.

Which in my book means they're not really that good.

What makes Gerrard and Lampard so good? They've failed in every international tournament they've been to - which is what, four? They're just not anything special, regardless of the hype. Plenty of decent players coming through.
