Good point. I think Bent deserves another chance but his current form is not up to much and Crouch has a better goal scoring record for England than anyone else in the current squad (22 in 42), a lot of those coming off the bench admittedly and perhaps that's where he can still be best utilized from. But Carroll is definitely the future. I also would have had Steve Gerrard as my first choice England captain before Terry was originally picked but with them both currently unavailable Terry would seem the obvious choice despite his previous indiscretions off the pitch. With Gareth Bale now out of the reckoning for Saturday's match that really must give England a huge boost. I fancy our chances much more now. We really should win this one now.

Will England Beat Wales? - Close call but we should do (on paper). Maybe not on grass. How will Glenn Johnson cope with the threat of Gareth Bale? Should John Terry have got the England captaincy back? - I think so. Though Fabio Capello handled it very poorly. Ferdinand is always injured. Gerrard is also out at the moment. There could also have been a shout for Frank Lampard but he doesn't even captain Chelsea. Say what you like about John Terry and I'm sure he has plenty of detractors but he is a born leader on the pitch and just the sort of bloke you'd want alongside you in the trenches. Just don't leave him alone with your other half. Should Rooney on current form still be considered first choice striker? What pairing would you play up front? Or would you play one up front or go 4-3-3. I'd quite like to see Rooney, Defoe and Andy Carroll all play together. That'd give the Welsh defenders plenty to think about. Discuss.

Ahem! Schoolboy error. That Max Romeo song is called Chase The Devil. Of course if you're thinking of The Prodigy who sampled it for Out Of Space there you have something. Space Blues - Primal Scream.

Go to the Bernabau on April 5th and watch Tottenham Hotspur hopefully beat Real Madrid on their own turf.

Feck! They scored another? I left the pub on the 90th minute. Bloody missed that. Must say that David Luiz is really looking the part. Fantastic player. Already looking a bargain.

I went to Omrith tonight. I think they have a new chef. Everything we ordered was blooming delicious.

Hmmm... yet another shocker from Almunia. But how fit is your 41-year-old German? (forgotten his name). Disappointing result for Spurs too. Damn those Hammers. I'm sure Quids was happy with that result though.

Ok Mr Clever Dick just enjoy it when comes around to you.

So beautiful I took its photograph.

Umm... what's the SNT?

You're not kidding. Definitely a minefield. Normally I'd let it go but that sounds particularly cruel and vicious. I think I would have had to have said something but I'm pretty damned sure I would have got a mouthful back and told to mind my own business but least I would have had my say. My mother would give me a good whacking when I misbehaved but when those kids have clearly not done anything wrong as you say, and the fear in the child's eyes it sounds like they get beaten on a regular basis and that's child cruelty to me. There's not a lot you can do really.
