Today, Big Brother is sending Stephanie on a secret mission to test George’s loyalty and love for her, making him go to the end of the earth and back to keep her happy. Will she manage to not give the game away and win herself a reward?

I've got that earmarked as standby, if the England one is a shocker!

To be honest I don't think the Deutsche game will be that great. I feel tonight is leg-stretching and avoiding injury with a make-shift team. 2-0 to Argentina.

Shhhh half of NSC are v plastic when it comes to our great country - they even start club v country threads :facepalm:

Most of them would give a different answer to the club vs country question if you asked it three months ago...

First England Captain to lead the team out wearing a wig.

It is good, but, I believe that there is a financial pay back to the clubs by the England RFU. The Premiership clubs earn so much that having players on England duty is more a liability in case they get injured.

Premiership clubs do get compensation for each player they provide.

There is a bit of a showdown going on over the fixture lists during the RWC next year though. Clubs are concerned about the potential loss in revenue if league fixtures are not played during that period.

I Love Sky+.
You can pause, tidy the kitchen, load the dishwasher, make a cuppa, come back in half an hour, fast forward (30x) and its still 0-0.

First half over and same old story. Basic technical skill lacking - Sturridge and Oxo both failing to control through-balls, hence poor shots. Rooney looking off the pace.
