That is how you take a free-kick! The link is from the BT Sport website, so nothing dodgy.

edit: If you click on the link and then copy and past the rest of the link from the first comma onwards into the address bar it will work.  Well worth it for some 50 yard free-kick action.

What a kind draw for Euro 2016 qualifying.

England, San Marino, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia and Switzerland. We should top that group quite comfortably!

Bosnia-Herzegovina, Andorra, Cyprus, Wales, Israel, Belgium
Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland, Republic of Ireland
Greece, Faroe Islands, Northern Ireland, Finland, Romania, Hungary

Scotland and Northern Ireland are screwed, but that might be an interesting draw for Wales. Might Gareth Bale get to play in a major international tournament after all? I can see them snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

It's a frustrating exercise watching spurs this season, it usually makes me want to sleep. I can't think of one chance on goal that we made that half. No incision, no urgency, no flare - the only excitement comes from the mistakes Dawson makes, and it's the sort of excitement I can live without...

I love Dawson to bits, but life would be far more relaxing if we had Kaboul and Chiriches fit as well as Verts.  Dawson is OK as back-up, for matches like this really, but with everyone fit I'd like to think he wouldn't start.

I know Dembele is more comfortable in the middle, but replacing Capoue with Chadli made me cringe a bit, we need someone like Eriksen on the pitch today.

Sherwood had 442 working quite well and Eriksen playing really well. Why tinker with it?

Oh well, as long as we don't lose too many players in the summer it will be interesting to see this squad with a decent manager.

This game is crying out for Eriksen - we have no forward threat at the mo.

I hope we get the manager we need in the summer, but Levy gave Sherwood an 18 month contract and I wouldn't be surprised to see us still with him in August.

This game is going to ruin my Sunday night

Well we've got Sir Les sat on the bench, how quickly can we register a free agent?

I'm still sure that Soldado will come good, but I'd have put Eriksen on for Dembele rather than Soldado for Paulinho.  But what do I know?  I'm good at Football Manager and Tim Sherwood is paid to manage a Premier League club.

What next? A list of approved goal celebrations and punishment for anyone who decides to celebrate a goal differently? I'm still hacked off that refs have to book a player if they take their shirt off in celebration. As long as they can get it back on again reasonably quickly, what harm is done?

We have enough advertising in the game already and I can understand why the powers that be don't want players to advertise things in such a way and the football pitch is no place for politics. Any player stupid enough not to realise that deserves punishment.

But do we really want a sport without moments like Billy Sharp's tribute to his son or Wilfried Bony saying goodbye to a close friend? We'd be a lot worse off without the amusement from Mario's "Why always me" or Berba's keep calm tee. As long as a player doesn't incite the fans, or cross the advertising/politics line, they really should be able to celebrate however the heck they want. Why do the powers that be insist on draining the fun out of the sport?
