I joined the Muse group on Facebook (Muse on Facebook) it's on there with loads of other stuff.

My first gig was Linkin Park at Rock City in Nottingham. They were first class.

No, why, should I be?

It was undisclosed but thought to be in excess of £3million, so we'll have turned a profit on him if he does go for £8million.

Here's the cover of the new album.

Bloody Sun, can't even get his age right, Kalou's 23 not 28!!

Yeah me too. ;)

I'm thinking the same, I've got my fingers crossed Aguero is coming to join us.

That's one for the pin-up wall!!

E2 please.

I'm like you G4, the track is growing on me. Also it appears that Matt is a fan of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom or at least the music, check out 24 seconds in:

Liverpool Echo Absolutely f*cking ridiculous.

I think that once Ronaldo has got used to not being the sole focal point of the team he will go on to score sh*tloads of goals and pick up all the plaudits. Messi on the other hand will have to adjust to playing with Zlatan and I think he may well have a quieter season as a consequence, also he'll certainly have one eye on the upcoming World Cup. So in summing up, I think Ronaldo will have the better season, although I believe Messi is the better player. It will certainly be an interesting season and I look forward to watching the El Classico.

Spot on. I think the worst thing is that none of us are surprised that he got away with it, it really is a sad indictment of the British justice system. Members of the jury took just over 70 minutes to find the Reds' captain not guilty. Judge Henry Globe told him: "The verdict is a credible verdict on the full facts of this case, and you walk away from this court with your reputation intact. "You did not start the violence, it was started by the violent elbowing of Marcus McGee in the face by one of your friends John Doran," he added. "At all times you insisted that you only ever acted in what you believed was reasonable self-defence to what you understandably, albeit you accept mistakenly, believed was an attempted attack upon you by Marcus McGee. "What at first sight to the casual observer may seem to have been a clear-cut case against you of unlawful violence, has been nowhere near as clear-cut upon careful analysis of the evidence." Ridiculous.

Yeah, they've caught it early though and he says he's expected to make a full recovery. I've been told their new album is one of their best.

On that evidence he looks guilty as charged, not that it will matter, as there's no way he'll do time for it.

I was thinking purely in the footballing sense.

Yeah Lamps did have valid reasons, playing for a top team abroad being the most valid in my eyes. The greedy tag is something JT would have to bear for the rest of his career and for me would certainly taint his legacy as a Chelsea "legend", something which I'm guessing is playing on his mind right now if indeed he is giving serious consideration to this "offer" from City. He would go from Mr Chelsea to Mr Greedy in one summer.

"I don't think people should criticise John for the fact that he has to make a decision about this, or that he has things to think about." The thing is it is all to easy to criticise JT about this situation, as for me and I'm sure many others it's no longer a question of football, it's a question of greed.
