Hull 14th? Stoke 15th? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: I've got a feeling they'll both be relegated. Possibly in 19th and 20th position. (Feel free to quote me in May if either/both stay up.)

This is what happens: 1 - The team that finishes top of the group qualifies automatically. 2 - Eight of the 9 runners-up go through to the play-offs, based on their record against the teams that finish 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th. (Results against the 6th placed team are dropped since Group 9 only has five teams). The worst runner-up misses out on the play-offs. 3 - The four play-off winners join the 9 group winners in South Africa. For example, Group 9 could look like this: 1 - The Netherlands (qualify) 2 - Scotland (the play-offs, depending on (a) our record against 1, 3, 4 and 5, and (B) the other 8 runners-up) 3 - Norway (eliminated) 4 - Iceland (eliminated) 5 - FYR Macedonia (eliminated)

I just hope we don't have a repeat of 69, when it said "Timbaland presents OneRepublic", but it turned out to be the one WITHOUT him!

Asrhavin worth £25 million? He isn't on last night's performance.

Just out of curiosity, what do you have to do to have your deposit refunded. More hated than the BNPs? That takes some beating.

Remind me again what year we're in. I thought we were in 2008, but I was obviously wrong.

It makes you wonder if it would have happened had the Euro 2008 TV rights had been sold through the EBU - has in previous tournaments - rather than SportFive. (After all, the EBU record one of the Eurovision rehearsals and transmit that at the same time as the actual show so that they have something to fall back on in case something happens.) Also, the minute by minute report on the Guardian's website is pretty funny as well. Especially when it gets to 58 mins (when the first blackout started). Apparently, SRG in Switzerland and Al-Jazeera were the only networks not to lose the coverage - so anywhere up to 81 (!) networks lost the feed. I hope something happens to SportFive because of this c**k-up.

I am sooo tempted to say something about this, but I will resist that urge.

I like both of them, and I'm finding it hard to think of worse cover versions than that one.

And I was expecting it to be about the Coca-Cola Championship…

Just to remind everyone, here's the lyrics to OAJALB: You're my love, you're my sweetest thing Don't shy away, don't shy away Every night makes me hate the days Can't get enough of your love Am I wrong, am I so unkind? Show me the way, don't turn away I can't hide all these thoughts in my mind Every moment I'm just thinkin' of you (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more (Ooh ah...) just a little bit You know what I'm lookin' for (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more (Ooh ah...) just a little bit I give you love you can't ignore Feeling good, let's go all the way It's got to be, set me free But tonight let my body say: Take it slow, don't let it go How can I prove my love to you? Baby, please, you're all I need Like a child, but it's more than a phase Could act the angel, but it wouldn't be true (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more (Ooh ah...) just a little bit You know what I'm lookin' for (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more (Ooh ah...) just a little bit I give you love you can't ignore What can you do for me? Oh... what can you do? 'Cause I feel so alive I feel your love inside Ooh... (Just a little bit, little bit more) (Just a little bit) (Just a little) (Just a little bit, little bit more) (Just a little bit) (Whoa...) (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more (Ooh ah...) just a little bit You know what I'm lookin' for (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more (Ooh ah...) just a little bit I give you love you can't ignore (Yeah yeah yeah...) (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more (Ooh ah...) just a little bit You know what I'm lookin' for (Ooh ah...) just a little bit (Ooh ah...) a little bit more Just a little bit If you can see the genocide-related material, I'll buy you a drink on Saturday. But you'll be paying for it.

What do I think? Who the hell cares - I don't.

Yup - in the week ending July 12th 2003, Beyoncé had the No1 single and album in both Britain and America. I don't know about you, but I consider that v. impressive indeed.

If we're going to go down that road, why don't we just stop it at 12? (The first couple of years of the charts stopped at No12.)

And also for the World Cup in 2006 (the guy who dived in the last minute in their game v Australia went on to convert the crucial penalty in the Final. Admittedly, he also converted last night…).

I probably won't be either. Even more so if albums aren't included. (I believe the 2004 edition said that the album chart is a better indication of music trends in this country than the singles chart.)

A couple other things: 1 - Have the Torchwood lot replaced Tosh and/or Owen yet? 2 - Am I the only one who saw that kid from After You're Gone who was in those two episodes with the Sontaran in the "Next week" bit?

God damn it - is there anything Russia doesn't want to win?

I had a feeling this was gonna happen - they sell it to someone else, who decide to undo all the work that their predecessor (sic) did. And if their only doing weeks in the Top 40, what are they going to do for those singles that peaked below that number? And if it's true about the albums, does anyone know where I can find the album charts since January 1st 2006?
