What did you bet on?

Won a fiver on Germany, England and Netherlands. 8-1 against Hungary, nicely done, Oranje.

As the philosopher, cultural commentator and theologian Eric Cartman once said, 'fuck Jesus'.

Both cunts.

I'd like to see Carrick and Wilshere in the middle to be honest.

I would say Ian Rankin's Hitler or Giovanni Gentile's works on fascism are going to be more historically insightful than Mein Kampf, a book so incomprehensive and nonsensical that even Mussolini admitted he never got to the end because it was 'terrible and boring'.

That's an excellent gesture.

The irony is that they were perfect for each other.

Jack Wilshere's comments are meaningless, once the media furore and the national debate is over. Does anyone really think that Wilshere has the intellectual nuance to answer a political question about national identity and personhood without coming out looking very ignorant at worst, and a bit silly at least? I'm sure he didn't mean to suggest that the likes of John Barnes and Raheem Sterling shouldn't have played for England, he's just a thickie, that's all. I mean, has Jack Wilshere ever sat down and genuinely thought about this issue for more than thirty seconds? He's been thrown a curveball by the media, and he's said some stupidly simplistic things that are easily construed as xenophobic, but he's pretty unlucky as it's not exactly his remit to talk about these issues. In my opinion, it is silly to have somebody tell you what nationality you are [aside from legal aspects]; if you were born in Australia to German parents, but feel British when you move here at the age of 30, why the fuck should it be anyone else's problem? To claim that nationhood is something beyond personal embracement of a society and culture is when you get borderline racist.

If and when Kosovo is acknowledged by FIFA, having a [potentially] high-profile player such as Adnan Januzaj in their starting XI would be pretty special for them as a nation.

Because Di Canio wasn't an egomaniac?

His name is Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, and his nickname is Dani.

We are very fortunate that Sunderland are an appalling outfit cobbled together by a fascist psychotic out of his depth, otherwise we'd be well out of this game. Great debut from Januzaj, shame about the dive.

Mesut Ozil, although his football looks like it's on another planet as well at the moment.

Fellaini looks like he doesn't know what he's supposed to be doing, he never follows who he's supposed to be marking and sideways passes like he's only got one setting.

Fulham look appalling at the moment, as if they don't even care if they get relegated.

It's more John O'Shea, the captain, and the influence he may or may not have on the dressing room.

The best Di Canio has done for the club is get sacked. The players united in getting him out and will now work together as a group for whoever replaces him.

Cleverley is currently in his ''he's shit'' phase of development. He's too old to have his mistakes overlooked, but he's still young enough to not be at his best. Darren Fletcher, Rio Ferdinand, John O'Shea, Michael Carrick etc. all had this phase and came through it all the stronger. Danny Welbeck is the latest one to come out the other side.

Crazy, Mata is class and arguably Chelsea's best player.

Well, that's an easy joke to make, but the fact is that they were both rated highly by the management, that's all.

Lingard looked like a first-team player for us in pre-season, he'll definitely be one for the first-team when he returns.

By all accounts we were reluctantly letting him go for first team football, but he looks as good a winger as Cleverley is a midfielder.

Robbie Brady is doing very well for Hull City so far this season, looks like we should have kept him and got rid of Young.

It says in that article that Donald Glover's real reason for leaving was for the opportunity to create his own musical comedy show. Seems a little odd, surely you'd see off Community, so you can bring the fanbase with you.

I thought the rape scene was very tasteful.

Come back in 15 years and then we'll see.

Scholes used to play behind the striker, or even up front, when we signed Veron. It's like Carragher saying, 'If Rooney is so good, why did you buy Hargreaves?'

He also dives as a coping mechanism for being unable to beat a man.

Keeping their options open, then.
