Bully Wee Villa

Can't believe Stoichkov and Milla were pointless. I assume that two of my guesses, Leonidas and Oleg Salenko must've been pointless, he only seemed to mention the more recent ones. My third guess was Juan Schiaffino which turns out to be bollocks.

Got four different pointless answers in the Cricketers of the Year question the other day, including two former Bears which I was pleased with.

Got female boxer, heptathlete, sailor, 5000m runner and one of the cyclists. Remembered the surname of the triathlete and the other cyclist and remembered the horsey winner was something French-sounding. So I think you did better than me!

The pig-fucking one was ok, but quite different from what has followed. It's basically a futuristic Twilight Zone, is the best way I can describe it.

It was utterly horrific. But brilliant. The last three episodes (including the last of series one) have all been fantastic. Thought provoking dramas that stay with you for ages after you've watched and all seem pretty plausible. Gutted there is only one episode left. Hopefully it will get a new series.

Titus Young didn't last long in St Louis... he is the Lady Jane Gray of the NFL. Sounds like a bit of a w****r, never heard of a player deliberately running the wrong plays to piss his team off before. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/rams-release-troubled-wr-titus-young-nine-days-205157568--nfl.html

I'm not saying its socialist. However it is socialist compared to our football, as I said. The system certainly makes the league more interesting. There's no way Wigan are likely to compete for the title anytime soon but all NFL teams (bar Cleveland, obviously) could win a Superbowl in the next few years.

It is still massively socialist compared to our football though.

Coverage pissed me off this evening. I'm off work for a while so I watched the whole afternoon session between Trump and Advani. I thought about watching the evening sessions live on Eurosport but thought "sod it I'll watch a film then watch the highlights later". Watched the highlights... all they showed was the Trump match again, no coverage whatsoever of the two evening games. I understand not everybody is off work and might have wanted to watch it, but surely they could've at least have shown brief highlights of the other games? I've nothing against Trump, but it's annoying how the BBC seem to think (like they did when that p***k O'Sullivan played) that nobody could possibly be interested in any matches not involving him.

Bugger. Was half-hoping Da Bears would go for him, admittedly it seemed unlikely.

If Anderson could hit doubles more often, he'd win the World title at least once and always be among the best five players. His scoring is as good as anybody's. Maybe he should work with a sports psychologist?

Can you get relegated then?

I don't know how to post YouTube links via my phone but if you just search "American Football made simple" or "Anerican Football explained" or something like that. Plenty of links come up. Haven't tried them cos too lazy but maybe pick one with lots of "likes" then that should help you. Still better to watch with a mate though so you can ask as you go along. So long as you understand the downs, you'll be able to pick the rest up easily enough.

If you have Sky they quite often (well once a season or so) do an NFL for dummies type day where they talk you through the rules. I bet there is similar stuff online, hang on I'll have a look...

Watch a game or two with a friend who understands the rules.

Offensive line, offensive line, offensive line, offensive line and a young Quarter Back as Cutler only has one year of his contract remaining and spends at least three games a season out with a fractured toe nail. If Urlacher goes we probably need a replacement too. Not sure we can address all that with one draft. I'd happily trade away our first round pick for a guy that's already at or close to Pro Bowl calibre on the OL. Whenever we draft somebody in that position they turn out to be shite. Forgot to mention: trade Hester.

I think they're just pro-Taylor. The news of him being a sex offender probably didn't make headlines in Das Bild.

Wales really bottled that. Would love to see Belgium win the Final. Not anti-English (I'm mostly English) just can't stand Taylor or Lewis. The way it's gone so far England will lift the trophy following a deciding leg after the Sprout-Munchers miss a dozen darts to win.

Useless fuckers! Well done Spain. This night couldn't have gone much better for In-gur-lund.

Scotland started excellently then made hard work of it. They'll still go through easily enough then lose to England with Anderson missing 17 match-winning doubles. Felt a bit sorry for the Finish bloke who was clearly put off by the crowd. Then again it's part of the game these days you have to be able to deal with it.

I prefer the American player, Hoover Spoof.

I was really pleased when I got a 180 ...dart finish.

If a BDO player signed up for Q School but failed to make the cut, could they go back to the BDO or would they have to sit the season out?

Jimmy Hendriks' intro music... The fucking Outhere Brothers. C'mon Wolfie hammer him!

Surely Jimmy Hendriks will have decent walk-on music?
