A common misconception from yes supporters.

Even if Platini is absolved of any blame, he cannot surely be considered as a credible candidate anymore. FIFA needs to be disbanded and a completely new organisation put in place.

Outstanding run of form at the moment, a joy to behold. It's probably going to come crashing down as I jinx it by going to the ICT game on Saturday!

Phoenix Nights was brilliant.

Castle Grayskull being where the good guys lived! With regard to the charges brought, I really hope David Murray gets hung out to dry.

Leftfield @ Music Hall Hot Chip @ Barras

Been twice, awesome experience. Presume you visited the late night areas? They're quite something!

No.

I've finished Martin Fletcher's book about the Bradford fire, really interesting and compelling stuff. Clearly the initial inquiry was far too hasty and narrow in it's scope. I had no idea Fletcher was also present at Hillsborough. That's mental that he witnessed both!

T in the Park, many years ago!

I've seen Coldplay live! They were utter mince!

New "BT Europe" channel due to be announced tomorrow, for all Chumps League and Europa League games, with Lineker joining them (still staying with BBC also). Sounds like it might be a £5 a month for the new channel.

They won't disappoint, I thought they were oustanding at Rockness a few years ago.

And also spot on about the Iraq war. Sad news. I've sat next to him at a charity dinner in Inverness once. Thoroughly engaging chap.

BT or Sky?

Anyone got any experience with BT TV/Youview? Moving house in a couple of weeks, we have ditched Sky which was a very pleasurable experience, and have no intention of returning. Looking at BT TV as an alternative - we'll be getting "fibre to the door" in the new house. You don't get as many channels but looks like a decent service and the TV/Broadband/Phone would be half the price I was paying for current Sky + BT phone/broadband. As an aside, I wonder if Sky's days are numbered, the latest price rise was a joke - upping the family package just to pay for the premiership rights? Surprised more folk are not ditching it.

Hot Chip - decent but far from being one of their best albums Django Django - loving this, a far more consistent album than their debut

Agreed, it's time for UEFA to quit FIFA, or at least threaten to quit unless (a) elections are postponed and (b) Step Ladder resigns. The charges coming out of the US investigators are quite something, although perhaps not surprising.

So we'll just sit back and let FIFA continue as it was? It's a shame it's taken the yanks to sort this out but so be it.

This is a good day for football.

Anybody still watching this so called sport!? I think I'm going to give up on it, it's a pale imitation of the adrenaline fuelled edge of the seat racing that I grew up watching. Used to get up at 4am to watch a race from the other side of the world - nowadays it's a struggle tuning in for a 1pm start! Apathy may kill F1.

Ancelotti binned. Benitez favourite to take over. No surprise.

Ooft.
