  1. Any streams other than atdhe?
  2. No problem getting on the site, but can't see any streams. Do you have a direct link please?
  3. If you are prepared to knock on his door to highlight a problem, are you able to knock on his door with a solution?
  4. I thought it was a good read. I'd rather be skint and get to a final at Wembley, than be super rich and win everything every year.
  5. I think 'gamble' is the right word. I'm still shaking my head at selling Beckford, so keeping fingers crossed. Having both could have worked.
  6. There is a problem with the forum not being compatible with Internet Explorer. I've had to use Chrome to post as IE is terrible. I've not come across it before.

  8. Out for the season - crucial ligament injury in training telegraph.co.uk/-Everton/-Royston-Drenth-Out-For-Season
  9. Wouldn't there be software compatibility issues with many programmes?
  10. At least we've established that she'll get the chance to ask nicely then.
  11. No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm trying to put across, and it's not easy, is that English people presume that they are above everybody else, and should therefore be the best. We presume that the lads last night are under performing, and are disgraced, where as the losers are valiant, because they dared to put in a good performance. It stems over hundreds of years with this 'jolly well played' offering to the loser. The truth is that all our sportsmen, be it boxers, athletes, cricketers, tennis players, golfers are always under far too much pressure to win, and not just win, but perform outstandingly, especially whilst representing their country. We can't accept that perhaps that was the best we had to offer on the night, in the same light that had it been a Sunday pub team, we would be singing their praises. I actually thought that in the first half, England played well, and the second half, they played worse. It's hard to have 2 teams playing well at the same time after all, so credit goes to Wales for putting on a better second half. If we are to credit Wales, then we should just say Wales played well, but English people can't do that. They have to patronise the Welsh, with terms like 'Plucky Welsh put up a good fight' or words to that effect. It's as though 'we're better than you, and you nearly beat us'. The truth is that on the night, England were better over all. Wales offered very little, and lost. If they want to take consolation in that they lost, but they played well, that's up to them, but my point is that the 2 teams should be viewed as even before kick off, in order to fairly judge the match. How many times do we hear fans say "we should be beating these easily?" The same lads that are disgruntled, are the same lads who will tell me that they don't care how Everton play, as long as they win.
  12. My point is based on a different mind set. There is a presumed concept that all Englishmen think they are the best, and expect the best as a result. We talk about lowly Ireland, or Wales as underdogs. We shout at our players because they only won by a single goal, and praise Wales, because they only lost by a single goal. The truth is, that 22 players walk out on the field, and 22 players all try their best to win. All 22 are footballers, as opposed to 11 being one thing and eleven being another. We fielded quite a young team last night, and they went out and got 3 points. Wales fielded their team, and lost. This attitude that our players are so fantastic, and should be beating every other team has to stop. It's the very reason that as a nation, we tend to win little, because we put so much expectancy on people, and pressure to succeed, it's ridiculous. The truth is, that we should be treating them enthusiastically, with as much support as is required, just like we would cheer our own kids on if they were playing for their school. Just because they get better, doesn't mean they don't need it. This whole David v Goliath thing is bollocks. We must stop pretending we are superior, and instead realise our players are human, just like the rest. Our lads went out there last night, and won. End of. To credit Wales because they put in a good effort, is a bit patronising.
  13. So we are number 4, and cringe, while they are number 6 billion and 40, and should be proud? Wales are dire, and don't have the players at the top level to choose from. England are badly selected and badly organised. This is the top level of football. There shouldn't be performances with no end product. We still have too many players on the pitch because they play for the top teams, rather than have the ability to gell. If I was manager, I would have 2 midfielders either side of the center circle, and tell them not to move.
  14. I think she was a porn star from Dallas.
  15. You could always buy my dual core when I upgrade.
  16. Are you rebooting from Bios with the disc in, and hard drive disabled with the cd being primary? The idea is to disable all but your cd player, and have it set as first boot. Then retart from the bios.
