  1. Ha ha, I remember those. Only the rich kids had them.
  2. The press are certainly out for him. They build you up and they knock you down. Half the time I think they pick the England team.
  3. Just bought ' GRID ' from Steam for £2.74 down temporarily from £9.99. Racing game with good graphics apparently. Installing as I write.
  4. Any Chelsea side will be a strong side. Their squad is excellent.
  5. I thought it was funny that he squared up to 3 QPR players, but none of them were Barton.
  6. Can we afford not to sell in January? Who is surplus to requirements, and who needs to be replaced and sent packing? Not only do we have the smallest senior squad in the League, but our senior players are getting on a bit too, with far too many at the graceful end of their careers. We have players such as Bilyaletdinov, who has not played this season in the league, and only 933 minutes last season. The guy cost nearly £10m and we're skint. Why has Moyes kept hold of such an expensive depreciating in value player? Fellaini is still in contract talks, but I can't see a happy ending there without breaking the bank, and he's not worth it in the current climate imho. Saha will probably go out to graze next season, unles he gets a lucrative deal somewhere in the sun, so surely any offer for him will be accepted. Neville has already seen the slippery slope as Hibbert returned to form. Will he still be here? Distin, as good as he is, will also need replacing soon, and class isn't cheap. Cahill has been insignificant, and is costing a few quid to keep around, and Howard is no spring chicken either. I can go on, but our team is in danger here of disintegrating into a team of reserves, and the longer we leave it the worse it will get. Unless we get investment, I feel we will have no option but to sell our top players in order to rebuild a squad. Drenthe, Straque, and Mcfadden are only contracted until the end of the season. Can we afford not to sell?
  7. GOT is a bit of a brown nose fest. The small minority of long established posters have far too much influence over the rest of the membership. "Have a positive rep" .. "Why thank you sir - have one yourself" Leave a neg and you'd think you'd killed someone's Aunt.
  8. He's had an awful lot of time on the bench for a record signing, and has only shown glimpses of form. 9/10 was only 1762 minutes in the Prem, and the following year he was only 1652 minutes. His first season was 2385. When we consider a season consists of at least (based on 90 mins only) 3420 mins, he's not exactly been prolific, especially as we don't rotate. If we had both Felli and Pienaar we'd have quite a midfield again, but we have little creativity in our team since Pienaars departure. It's no surprise he isn't playing at Spurs, but he would be playing here. He's our best player for some time, and I feel we lost more when he left than we did when Arteta left. If we got good money (and I mean good money) we could add 3 or 4 players to a small squad. I don't agree Baines made Pienaar look good at all. I think they both complimented each other. Don't get me wrong, it's not going to happen. Pienaar wanted away, and who can blame him when you look at us now, and as Arteta has left, I can't see Fellaini wanting to stay, and let's be honest, he would be mad to refuse a big club opportunity. It's a pity we didn't have Arteta, Pienaar, Felli, Barkley, and Drenthe all at the same time, but it will be at the cost of another big name player that Moyes might find another midfield and strike force.
  9. Rather we sold him for good money and bring Pienaar back. He's good when he's good, but no great loss if he doesn't sign. Not enough hours on the pitch in form for my liking.
  10. Time travel Steve. TJ is up to something I'm sure.
  11. Best goal I've seen against Howard for some time.
  12. Billy, it's not easy to know who other posters are, or how old they are, but on any forum, there has to be a level of 'fitting in' in order to get by, and not standing out for the wrong reasons. I'm crap at it, as I voice my opinion on others too much, but you're quite crap at it too, for other reasons well known to yourself. I've been banned on lots of forums for going into self destruct mode in the past, but I try and at least offer something to the forum. You seem rather destructive full stop, as though your main agenda is to get attention. It backfires mate. Why not turn it around and start contributing. People quickly forgive and forget.
  13. Can Moyes afford to not play a player if the player is the correct choice? Team selection does concern me occasionally, even if I try to have faith. I'm not saying Barkley is the correct choice, but he was playing well up until the penalty.
  14. I could have asked him what he knew, but I don't go on BM any more. I think his name is Lee if you chat.
  15. The Daisy Cutter will be getting good publicity out of it if anything.
  16. I think he's lazy Matt. It was only a few games ago we were complaining that he didn't run back in to play after having a goal opportunity, but instead walked back, resulting in him becoming offside when we broke, and totally out of position. The striker I felt gave us the best shift was Andy Johnson. He used to run his ass off. He coulkd be available again for about 2m.
  17. I've not had the pleasure of either, though I've played a few tracks over the years from both. I remember a track called Monkey Wrench which I liked. It's hard to put a fave Zep track down, but Dazed and Confused is a good one. I've met a fair amount in my time, but not them.
  18. Muddy Waters sons are performers too. I watched his son Bill play at the summer pops a few years back. I listened to the blues for many years, so if there are any other blues fans out there feel free to start a blues appreciation thread, and share your favourite tracks.
  19. Was Justin Bieber fronting the group?
  20. Yeah, I don't dispute the words fit, but pointing out that the video is slowed down. In real time, we speak at a certain speed. The lip movement in the video in real time seems to indicate he would be speaking so quickly, it would sound like a record being sped up.
  21. He's a proper troll that SteveO. Have to agree with MikeO on this one (It's not easy, I know) but it's the first sensible post I've read that hasn't been mine (ahem) for a few pages lol.
