  1. I'm off to an absolute shocker again....looks like another season of clawing my way back from the bottom
  2. Good work, Rev...nonetheless, massive pressure on AVB already, and in my opinion, he seems to have a bit of a problem with winning the dressing room...My prediction is he's sacked by the New Year.
  3. Commenters on YouTube who type verbatim the funny comment or whatever is on the video, and then dozens of people give it a thumbs up. Retards
  4. Shocking ending actually, he saved the worst for last!
  5. Great shot, I love how he calmly collects the eraser while still lecturing
  6. The hype for the Chavez Jr.- Sergio Martinez fight is getting really loud now...I think Martinez is gonna destroy him...2nd Rd KO
  7. Amateur stuff from Di Canio...even if you agree with his assessment, a manager needs to control himself and have a bit of decency toward the young player, especially with microphones pointed at him.
  8. The only way the finish 5th is if AVB is out by January. Players do not respect him, the new keeper they brought in is already trying to undermine him...supporters are already on his back...it's a total train wreck 3 games in...

    Squad depth?

    On paper the depth is there, but we still haven't seen one of the "1st team" even kick a ball...
  10. That's what they call "Juju", so I'm going to have to deny it it's legitimacy in this thread, lol But it's **** excellent, I've had that album for years, still sound fresh
  11. I just think they've had more time together, more time to learn PL's style, and the win midweek plus the signings Friday probably gave them a boost. Can't wait for Benteke and Bennett to get in there so we can finally see what we can do, at least until January. For conceding a game tying goal...it really felt more like a win today.
  12. this.. really like Lowton, hope Bennett do what he's doing on the left. Superstar in the making
  13. For me, most of Bannan's successful passes were sideways or backwards, not the penetrating passing we need. At least Holman is always looking to make that slotted pass or to make that forward run off the ball...Bannan still seems bench material for me.
  14. Super/System is great too, there's a Super/System 2 as well, but I don't really rate it as highly as the first one, it's too dripping with ego stroking. Don't play unless you know you're going to have long enough with no distractions to stay focussed, you need to be able to maintain a clear head to make the right decisions. Speaking of which, avoid playing when drunk, I dunno if I still have it but I had a winnings graph of one of my months playing where I was going out every friday night, coming back and playing poker, the graph had a nice slope upwards during the week, then a massive drop every friday where I pissed away more the weeks winnings in drunken sessions. It didn't take me too long to work out not to play when pissed! Online sites are not dodgy. They don't care who wins or loses hands, they make their money from the rake regardless, it's simply not in their interest to rig hands. I've got hand histories of millions of hands, and they show that they're not dodgy, everything happens around the amount of times you'd expect them to. People think they see bad beats more frequently online, but that's not true. You see more of them sure, but you see more hands online too. Live you're limited to around 30 hands per hour, online? well, single table you could push 90, multi tabling, a multiple of that. I'd easily push 600 hands an hour back in my grinding days, that's 20x as many hands as playing live, of course you're going to see more bad beats, but do they happen more frequently? No. There are exceptions of course, there have been staff members using their positions to cheat (the absolute poker scandal being the main one) but they get found VERY quickly, because people who play this game for a living are also obsessed with stats and how people play, and it's pretty obvious to notice someone who is cheating if you know what to look for. Then of course there's full tilt, which apparently was just a huge ponzi scheme with the company paying itself out of players money rather than having a seperation of funds like they should have, so they were spending the money that players had in their accounts. But that's another thing entirely. As for casinos swarming with sharks, most casino sharks fall into two categories, 1) people with actually know how to play poker 2) rich people who try to bully hands There's always enough fish, and enough of number 2 (who are the exact people you want at a table) in a live game to make money, and number 1 aren't that abundant so you can avoid playing hands with them if they are actually that good. But the secret is they generally aren't, because you don't have to be to play live poker. Most live players are far worse than online. There's very few live games I wouldn't walk into and be profitable at, it's only when you get into the stupidly high stakes you start getting tables full of pros, because honestly, most live casino games just aren't profitable enough for people who can actually play poker to bother with most the time. Why would you want to play 30 hands an hour live, when you can do 600 online? Full Tilt is what I played so maybe my perception is tainted...nonetheless, online poker is a money vacuum unless you are very strict with yourself. The casino where I'd play had enough "teams" at the lower stakes tables that I just played tournaments to make sure everything was above board...
  15. I only saw the 2nd half, but what I saw was very encouraging on the whole. The first 15 minutes of the 2nd half we looked a totally different side...swarming them every time they had the ball, getting the ball back, making precision passes, but just lacking that end product, perfectly illustrated by Ireland's pathetic miss at a wide open goal. We laid back a bit, and they took advantage...Holman gave Ben Arfa too much room there... But I think Holman is a good player to have in the team, he never stops running and is a total nuisance. I bet he ends up scoring a few too. Looks like Guzan has won the job... I don't expect to see much more of Barry Bannan, TBH...not good enough for what Lambert wants to do... I said a draw would be a terrific result, and it is. Could be a turning point we all look back to. UTV
  16. I think he's got to stick with Given...he's not done enough to warrant losing the job yet. Benching him coming back to Newcastle won't do much for his mentality either...I hope PL sticks with him today.
  17. I played from just after the BC release through Cataclysm...got fed up with all the assholes, and the impending Kung Fu Panda expansion, which I just cannot take seriously...the game was sooo immersive, and for a while, I was really having great fun, had some good pals on there. I guess I just burned out. But I do miss Azeroth sometimes, TBH...But I'm finished with it.
  18. Sad news, indeed. You know when the Queen of Soul wants to sing your song, you've done well RIP
