As a big Liverpool & Stevie G follower, I would not currently pick Stevie G in the England starting XI v USA. As for Michael Carrick as you can see from my earlier XXIII he was not in it, as quite simply I rate Parker & Huddlestone above him.

Anyopne watched the first half on England v Mexico friendly? England are somehow 2-1 up but apart from Green; King; Walcott; Crouch & Rooney we are being completed outplayed by a team who (thankfully) can't defend set pieces.

Incredible. Even I did not think that in just over 24 Hours later three new songs would fit this criteria have appeared.

Indeed. Certainly a far, far, far more satisfactory and moving ending than Lost had. Thank goodness I gave up on that halfway in Series 1 when it became pretty god damn obvious that all the characters who "survived" the initial aircrash were actually dead, and living in some sort of purgatory world. ..... and hence all the strange goings on that island that were not natural, logical or normal. Yet even now on internet forums all over the world people are still arguing that they survived the aircrash and that island was real and normal, and that they actually died as and when later throughout the six series. :rofl:

Lastly ...... The Top 10 Finishes Game 2010 only this year it is based on Points score per Top 10 finish each week (1st = 10 Pts; 2nd = 9 Pts ..... down to 10th = 1 Pt; but all ties count as the same points as position finished so no shared points (i.e. Two players tie for 3rd place one week each score 8 Points) After 21 Weeks: 1 1 spiidey 140 2 2 thisispop 93 3 3 Ben 91 4 4 JakeyShake 63 5 5 AdzBrown 61 6 6 Jester 54 7 8 FM11 53 8 7 titty 52 8 9 Aaron 52 10 10 West 43 11 11 jackph89 42 12 15 ElectroBoy 40 13 12 eightiespopkid 36 13 14 TomKay 36 15 13 BrayFish 35 16 16 mark w 26 17 17 Theo 25 18 22 zero 23 19 18 madonna-4-eva 21 19 19 Hitstastic 21 21 19 soundseekerz 20 22 21 mancdude 17 23 22 Gboy 15 24 24 Mikey 14 24 32 Come Along 14 26 25 Kay 13 27 26 paulgilb 12 27 26 Tacticz 12 29 28 the-equalizer 11 30 29 NoiseAddict 10 30 29 WillR0173 10 30 29 Gleek! 10 33 32 superbossanova 7 34 34 basdfg 6 35 35 Nick F1 5 36 36 chart wizard 4 37 37 Ditherless 3 38 38 Pavel 2 38 38 Shoat 2 40 40 gagafan 1 Significant developments: Spiidey increases his lead to 47 points; FM11 moves up 1 to 7th ; and Aaron is up 1 to 8th is the only other player to climb in the Top 10 this week.

Regresses back to being an adolescent 12/13 year old. OMG..... Jay Aston is back in the band ........ :o :o :o :wub: :wub: :wub: Where has Shelly Preston gone? and still no Bobby G returning to the fold. Oh well I look forward to that Steps reunion in 2021 without H. :lol:

I'll do my nominations near the end of the period in case any currently unknown new tracks off the radar suddenly appears on the internet.

TIPs Chart Singles Prediction Game - Chart Sunday 30th May 2010 :cheer: :yahoo: :dance: :cheer: WEEK 22 IN 2010!!! Each week I will ask you to predict where 14 songs are (hopefully) going to be in the following Sunday's chart. The point scoring will be as before (10 pts if spot on with your prediction down to 1 pt if you are 9 positions out. A 75+ prediction if correct will still be worth 5 Points). If a new single is pulled from release or non-chart eligible then everyone's prediction for that question will be void and everyone will be awarded 5 points. Due to physical singles sales declining I have scrapped the old rule of awarding points should the physical release be postponed so long as the download release goes ahead as scheduled. I will ask THREE bonus questions which require a Yes or No answer. Each bonus question is worth 20 Pts. Therefore for a normal week there will be a maximum of 200 Points to gain. PREDICT THE FOLLOWING : Sales Period: Sunday 23rd – Saturday 29th May Alicia Keys - Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart Danielle Hope – Over The Rainbow Dizzee Rascal – Dirtee Disco Eminem – Not Afraid Glee Cast – Dream On Glee Cast – I Dreamed A Dream Hurts – Better Than Love Iyaz – Solo Katie Melua – The Flood Keri Hilson – I Like It K’naan – Wavin’ Flag Muse - Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever) N-Dubz ft Bodyrox – We Dance On Nas & Damian “Jr Gong” Marley – As We Enter Bonus #1: Will Alexandra Burke – All Night Long be higher than Usher ft will.i.am - OMG in the chart? Bonus #2: Will Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina – Stereo Love be higher than Sean Kingston & Justin Bieber – Eenie Meanie in the chart? Bonus #3: Will The Pretty Reckless - Make Me Wanna Die be higher than The Squad – Three Lions 2010 in the chart? You have up until circa 09:00 UK Time on Tuesday 25th May to get your entries in (I'll be keeping the thread open) but entries altered after the midweeks have arrived will be excluded. Each Game counts towards the Overall Leaderboard (The Best 48 Games) at the end of the year. Whilst I will maintain the last 6 weeks Leaderboard for newer players If you have never played before, then here is a great opportunity to join in the fun near the beginning of 2010! :cheer:

Amazon.co.uk Update Newish songs (Top 100): #06 Danielle Hope #12 Dizzee Rascal #48 Iyaz #60 K'naan #64 N'Dubz #66 Eminem

Danielle Hope must be a real contender for next week's number one.

Once Stephanie & Jessica was eliminated, Danielle Hope just had to win due to her all round outstanding acting/dancing and singing abilities. Clearly Sophie finished 2nd due to being the only potential Dorothy in the Final 10 who had the Judy Garland required ginger hair, as there were easily 5/6 better singers than her in this contest. Thankfully in the end the public redeemed themselves, but my goodness that was mighty close to being the worst ALW Reality winner by a long distance.

If the role was for the part of Eliza Doolittle or Mary Poppins I think she would have won.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at some of the idiots on Digitalspy who thought Lauren's stunning B Flat note = being out of tune/a bum note. Clearly this is proof how a generation brought up on X-Factor & autotuned recordings are growing up musically illiterate. With Lauren out ...... gets mobile out to vote for Danielle.

A very solid episode, a good plot outline with some outstanding acting. 7.5/10

I think those three individual performances proved how embarrassing it is that Sophie is still in the contest. But like Joe McElderry & Michelle McManus beforehand the regional celtic vote overrides talent.
