To be fair to Rooney he did admit it, even if it was hollow. Gerrard does it almost every game (remember against us last season?) and he actually condemns divers.

Give him a song or two on Saturday, even if he isn't playing.

Who else is getting LittleBigPlanet? I didn't think much of it, but I watched some videos on Youtube and it really does look good, I can't wait to have a bash.

Uh, it's huge apparently. You have to travel huge distances though. I asked a friend what he thought and his reply was simply: "PLEASE DONT USE THAT WORD AGAIN". That's a good one.

http://www.tesco.com/entertainment/product.aspx?R=854368 Saints Row 2 £16. This may be a mis-price. I'm not that fussed about it so I'll not order it in case they charge the £49.99 for a game I'm not bothered about, but I thought it might be a good spot for you who do play Saints Row.

Anybody else playing Spore? My friend has it and he's been on and off it for the last 24/48 hours, madness. Getting it tonight or tomorrow probably. It looks great.

Theoretical fight - England vs America. I think you can work out who would be which country. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1827416 Boof!

It has a bit of "The Holly and the Ivy" jaunty tune-ness about it.

It works when you think of a jaunty tune. No really, it does.

50-50? I liked it.

Is the grass, Is the grass, Is it greener over there, Is it greener over there?

We heard: Guy #1: Come on Robbie! Guy #2: *in booming voice, pretty sure he heard it* You fat git!

Quality. Isn't it S'OMA though?

If we sign Annan. Way to put Rooney off his game: Rooney, Rooney, a nan over there, Rooney, there's a nan over there, Rooney Rooney a nan over there, Rooney, a nan over there. Not too hard to pick up.

Gerrin' to 'em *drum bashing* Gerrin' to 'em. Inspired.

So have Kaunas. Screamer of a free kick too.

I thought Kenyon was a big Hughes supporter?

Notice I did say "as much".

There goes my social life. And yes, I am going to be one of those sad gits who watches them all.

So, who is getting Metal Gear Solid? After playing the Online Beta and watching Kojima talking about it, I'm completely sold. EDIT: If you haven't played the other MGS games, go and buy the three of them for a tenner somewhere. If you play MGS4 without playing the others, you'll still enjoy it, but the storyline won't make as much sense.

You are so desperate to discredit him, you mean? I'm almost embarrassed for you. Has Dunny done something to you personally because you have held a long, boring and pointless vendetta against him ever since he returned.

Just paste the Youtube link into www.savetube.com, find a FLV converter and then just copy them over. Any way works really.

Downloaded the Condemned demo so I'll give that a try and maybe be able to give you an idea of what it is like. Cocker played the demo so he'll probably be able to tell you. Haven't got Dark Sector but thinking about it, anyone else got it?

Lassana Diarra hasn't been terribly bad.
