  1. My employer has blocked ToffeeTalk.com at work <_< .. (well any website that isn't jobrelated).
  2. IMO top to bottom EPL is the strongest.. if I could watch a random game from the EPL or a random game from any other league, I would choose the EPL league. However, I'd rather watch Barcelona-Real Madrid or Inter Milan-AC Milan or even Bayern-Hamburg than any matchup in the EPL. (EDIT apart from Everton.. ). Best in the world? The Champions League.
  3. Can't say I have . TBH I have only been to the UK once (Canterbury on a school trip 10 years ago) . Visiting London/Liverpool are high on my list though. And for some reason I want to visit Cornwall, looks like a beautiful region.
  4. It's the reason I don't own a car.. Advantages of mobility don't weigh up to the total cost imo. Besides public transportation gets you almost everywhere (when they're not striking :shaking fist: ).
  5. I'm more interested in a clip of Yakubu vs Mereiles . A .gif of that would be nice too.
  6. Cahill for me. Honorable mention to Yakubu and Distin.
  7. That was a great moment. Distin is playing very well and Yakubu is giving it his all . Never thought I'd see the day that I could watch the Red Sox loose to Everton. Loving this.
  8. Nothing what so ever happened to him in the two international games...
  9. Been watching clips of a young Kate Bush. Lady Gaga has got nothing on her!
  10. Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar. ... a dollar is what I need.
  11. it does look like the scope is jizzing in her eyes ..
  12. Rewatching "Arrested Development". Extremely funny. I love this show. Can't wait for the movie!
  13. Couldn't agree more. Whenever you see the name "Jeffrey Donovan" credited as an actor in anything, stay away! Currently watching "Six Feet under".... it's OK. Not really my kind of thing. And it bothers me to see "Dexter" play a complete wimp.
  14. Postal Union Election Delayed After Ballots Lost in the Mail ... The American Postal Workers Union has extended its internal election after thousands of ballots appeared to have gotten lost . . . in the mail. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/10/07/postal-union-election-delayed-ballots-lost-mail/ .
  15. The Kyrgiakos tackle was at Anfield too.
  16. Would love it if Liverpool were taken over by Lucchino and Henry. The two most annoying clubs/organisations in the world owned by the same people .
  17. Well obviously she is breaking UK copyright law. So the question the court will have to answer is whether or not the UK copyright law is in breach of EU law and whether or not when the case is sent back to the UK court, that court should disregard their own national law. I don't know what the provisions in question of UK copyright law are, but that doesn't really matter. From a EU law perspective the starting point is that according to the European Court of Justice the integration of the internal market has been completed. As a rule, all restrictions on imports and services among EU states are a breach of EU law. Now the question becomes whether or not that service provided by the Greek satellite broadcaster is legal. Obviously only legally provided services enjoy the protection of EU Law. This is where it gets tricky. On the one hand it is inherent to copyright law that it restricts the choice of suppliers once the copyright is granted and free and open competition is protected by the fact that any company could bid on the right to broadcast Premier League games. From this point of view the service provided by the Greek satellite broadcaster is illegal. On the other hand I'm sure the European Court of Justice will have a problem with the fact that within the presumed internal market, it's still member state borders that decide which services a European citizen has access to. Exclusive broadcasting rights restrict cross border member state competition within the EU. So what would happen if those exclusive rights became illegal? I don't think it would be that bad for the Premier League. Presumably 27 different satellite broadcasters (as many as there are member states) would offer their services in the UK market. This would make it cheaper for UK citizens to watch the Premier League but wouldn't necessarily decrease the income of the Premier League because they would get more money from the satellite broadcasters in the other member states because they've been given access to a bigger market. So here's what I hope they decide : It's OK to have copyrights granted in an each member state (basically because the European Court of Justice has no jurisdiction to say anything about that). However that copyright is only exclusive regarding other providers in that member state. "Cross border" supply of services can not be restricted. This case is being handled in Grand Chamber. Which means there is no clear answer and it takes the combined legal expertise of all the judges to decide and more than likely it will be a decision that either completely upholds the UK provision or severely changes copyright law in all member states. It also means that the decision they reach is as final as can be and can only be theoretically overturned by amending the treaty.
  18. I'm pretty sure the cost on society of now having to deal with homeless people is higher than 75 dollars.
  19. The French national assembly wanted to talk about how the actions of the French team reflected on the country as a whole. That's something entirely different from what the Nigerian government is doing.
  20. New info on this. http://sporza.be/cm/sporza/voetbal/buitenland/Nederland/101005_Vertonghen_interesse_Arsenal .
  21. 3-1 .. Arteta, Cahill, Fellaini. Jovanovic for them, I like that crazy Serb. Just hope nothing happens to the players that are away for international duty.
  22. Great album! Dedicated to Bill Hicks by the way. I'm listening to OK Computer by Radiohead (album.. currently playing : Lucky).
  23. Yes please! Highly unlikely though .. maybe if we manage to sell Pienaar for a hefty sum (which is even more unlikely).
  24. Regarding sequels : Black & White II is brilliant .. I still play it once in a while.
