With us playing another game on Saturday, I'm not surprised that Drinkwater is not starting. We played against a weakened Stoke and it was clear we were resting players with today's match in mind and I'm pretty sure we'll see the squad being rotated again when we play Norwich. Hopefully Conte gets it right today AND on Saturday. He definitely got it right against Stoke.

The movie had plenty of problems, but it's better than the prequels and The Force Awakens. Finally we're at a point where we're ready to leave the obsession with everything being tied to Skywalkers behind and we can start to progress the story into a new direction. Although I'm afraid this trilogy will end up being a tug of war between directors and J.J. will attempt to nullify as much as he can about the plot twists in the Last Jedi. Kylo Ren is not as strong as Darth Vader and that's exactly the point. It's (supposed to be) a new story. I just wish they hadn't wasted a better part of trilogy pandering to fans and had got on with it from the get go. This felt like an ending of a trilogy rather than the middle part, but in a way that's good because now I'm actually interested in seeing what will happen as we could at least in theory be heading into a new territory. Like I said... The movie has plenty of problems, but at least it's taking chances again instead of playing it all too safe.

This one starts a bit shaky, but picks it up soon and it sounds quite nice. I'd love to see Beirut live one of these days.

Ok, this is a bit of a cheat, but it's such a beautiful song, so I'll pretend "star" is a good enough connection here. I have no idea what the name of the song actually means.

I initially thought you were talking about England...

I'm sorry for all the Irish, because they simply didn't have a chance tonight. The Danes were just too good. Even Bendtner scored one!

Denmark were simply on another level compared to Ireland. Totally deserved.

We managed to beat them fairly easily without having to play our strongest lineup in the first match. We can afford to rest a few players.

I live in Espoo, but work in Helsinki. I used to live in Tampere for almost six years. I liked it.

Being a Finn my 1st team is not in a top division (JJK). Well, they were in the Finnish league this season, but got relegated back to the first division. Chelsea is my 2nd and only other club.

Ballack was called lazy by some, but he was a pretty decent player in his prime as well.

It's not the band I'm going to see next, but a band I saw last night, but since the name is such a mouthful, I'll just have to give them a mention. So what is the band I went to see last night? Well, it was Have You Ever Seen the Jane Fonda Aerobic VHS, of course. Obviously.
