There's not a chance of us getting huge money for him. He's a lethal finisher no doubt but at 30 years old, we can expect nothing north of 8 million quid. Personally I would love him to stay but if he's not committed the f*** him! He can nick off and sit on Chelsea's bench for all I care.

I'm most surprised that the Sun is stirring it up again. What a sh*t-rag.

But it's not a comic. It's a graphic novel.

Why on earth is any England side playing in Burnley? WTF!

In the 'movie discussion thread' to boot. Barmy isn't it?

I watch the first 5 minutes of LXG and felt embarrassed for all involved.

Heath Ledger will play Joker.

Batman Begins is amazing and even superior to Batman. The sequel-Dark Knight-is at the top of my most anticipated films for next year. You're correct about The Incredibles though. One of my favourite films ever.

Daredevil does feature Elektra. It's an okay film but with Mark Steven 'Ghost Rider is really sh*t' Johnson behind the wheel it was never going to be special. I haven't seen Elektra. Apparently it's rubbish.

I like Daredevil.

The report I would usually take as definitive is less than glowing. Flopsy-A History of Violence is superb.

I thought Gangs of New York was horrific.

Oh no doubt.

Jesus, it was just a flippant remark...

Officially it's the best film of 2006. But I see what you're saying.

It's anything but rubbish...

Completely missed it. Never mind, the rest of game is awesome.

Where were they?

Already I'm convinced that my delay in purchasing a 360 was worth it. God of War II is jaw-dropping.

Showgirls is hilarious. The scene where Elizabeth whats-her-face thrashes around in a neon pool with quiff-man is so funny it's not true. It's about as erotic as roofing one's shed.

Bourne.

I prefer House of Flying Daggers to Hero actually. Only just though. This latest film is ok. It's well made, it looks amazing and has some very fine acting. Yet there's a palpable lack of entertainment value (of any kind) and the plot is, at times, very silly. You also couldn't give a flying one about any of the characters, all are either boring or despicable. And yes there's a bit of stylish sword-weilding towards the end but by that point you're so drained that you'll hardly notice.

I'm just back from seeing The Curse of the Golden Flower. Be warned: while this is directed by the same guy who made Hero and House of Flying Daggers, it is nothing like those films. Intense, terribly serious and, at times, exhausting don't go hoping for a blitz of beautifully choreographed martial arts. It has nothing of the sort.

They've put it back another two weeks. What a f****ng disgrace.

I saw Seth Lakeman in concert last Friday. It was friggin' brilliant. What a musician.
