  1. Cheers. It's about 6 quid so might give it a miss then.
  2. Resident Evil 5 etc is half price today on Steam. Has anybody played it? Not a 3rd person fan myself, but there is a mod apparently.
  3. He was out for much of last season and they still should have won the title.
  4. It must be hard playing with a piece of string between your legs.
  5. Irony, or my post? Irony is much more light hearted than sarcasm, which is much more aggressive. Many comedians use irony as their main tool, but not everybody understands it, and instead there is a literal logic response that presumes the user is being serious. Unfortunately for me, most of my own humour is based around irony, which often gets me taken the wrong way. It would be a bad idea to offer irony to one with Aspergers for example. On topic, I'm fairly sure that a man with the background of a leading politician will be more than aware of why plane windows remain closed, although they do say that irony is wasted upon Americans, so no wonder he was taken literally.
  6. From what I can remember According to historians, the meaning of the name Mathew is 'Gift of God'.
  7. Had it been Barton he'd be in jail by now.
  8. Too easily corrupted. It's not just about the fans to be fair.
  9. It's called irony Matt. The guy is clearly joking.
  10. By your instruction, the United player would have been sent off, as he was the one with both feet going into the tackle. I saw only one foot with Shelvey. There are enough video replays in this thread that display this.
  11. I'm well into my 40's so a bit rusty with the exact rules compared to those who still play, but what I will say is that any contentious fouls should come under scrutination by an official who specializes in that aspect, taking full advantage of modern technology. In a game that has millions of pounds at stake, it isn't right that players can be sent off wrongly, as the outcome can't be changed. It's fine referees admitting mistakes, but it's too late then. There should also be a deterrant for those players who wish to cheat, be it by feining injury, diving, handling, or assault. Once they know it will be reviewed on camera, they'll quit doing it.
  12. Everton are a sleeping giant under Moyes. I think there is another chapter yet to be written.
  13. That's the first time I've seen Van Persies tackle. It's a lot worse than Shelvey's in my book. The guy has both feet off the ground and a stretched out leg charging towards the ball. No way is he in control, nor could he avert from collision had an ankle been there ~(imo). Should be off.
