The placing of the 'Origin of Words' section, why not have it after the second numbers round, and just before the adverts (as with the dictionary guest slot after the first numbers round), instead of before the second numbers round, as it is now, it breaks up the rhythm of the flow of the game a bi...

Agreed.

I've gone for Haye, it's been a while since we've had a great heavyweight champion and his match against the Empire friggin' State Building (okay then, Valuev) was epic . You're the first person to describe that fight in that way other than the Haye camp! Truly one of the most boring boxing matches...

I've gone for Button. I think the fact that he was unemployed three weeks before the start of the season says it all! He's always been one of the best drivers, but never had a good enough car to challenge, and he showed what he could do when given the chance. The race where he won the title was one ...

Cameroon have got a great chance. Because Alex Song plays for them!

Spain? Are we assuming they play the worst possible opposition with zero defensive capabilities in each round then? Not going to happen again. They're a typical flair team that looks far better than they actually are. Even against England B where they were handed the ball on a plate all game they s...

Spain are far and away the best at the moment, so are my favourites to win. But anything can happen on the day, and England have a great chance considering we've got the likes of Beckham, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Walcott and Gibbs (ok, my Arsenal bias may be creeping in there!).

Haha Craig. I have no idea of the history behind you and Liverpool but it's funny seeing you jump on us every chance you can get. No history, just feel the urge to hammer the point home until people finally get it. Sorry if you think I'm harping on this Craig, but it still reads like a shit excuse....

I'd put in whatever the biggest comeback is. Especially if it was something like two 9's, followed by the numbers and conundrum to win by a single point. Plus, whatever the highest scoring aggregate game is.

There's an Arsenal site somewhere that shows each player's minutes on the pitch, analysed by position. Adding up the minutes on the pitch for your two longest-plaing men came to less than Alexander. Alexander = 61 matches (I think you might have forgotten the play-offs) @ 90 minutes = 5490, plus 3 ...

Is anyone else watching the Football League Show on BBC1? With its echoey, warehouse-like set, glass screens everywhere and the invitations for fans to call in and give their views, it feels like I'm watching Crimewatch.

Fabregas scored 2 and had 2 assists as Arsenal win at Everton 6-1. Just thought i'd mention it.

Although i'm not a huge fan of the weekly transfer thing, i've entered a team anyway!

Champions: Arsenal (It has to be this year!)
Chelsea 2nd, Manure 3rd, Liverpool just edge City for 4th.
Hull, Birmingham and Wolves to go down.

(Last year, Graham Alexander spent more time on the pitch than any two of Arsenal's midfielders. And he's 38. If footballers get tired, it's all in the mind.) Denilson made 51 appearances, Alex Song made 48, a total of 99, compared to GA's 58. Fabregas and Walcott picked up major injuries that mean...

I can balance coins on my elbow and catch them in my hand. My record (without dropping a single coin) is 30. To put it into context, I think the WR is in hundreds!

I voted for Tim Vine, but Rory McGrath was a close second for me. Bumble was better than I thought he'd be as well.

Hi Rich. James was sat in front of me. I remembered him from his appearances on the show.

I don't think that's very fair really. Some people play in a manner that could lead one to think they are cheating, one minute four letter words, then an 8 or 9.
