  1. Any idea where they're getting them from, I doesn't even look like ART Sport are televising this one, I hope I'm wrong. EDIT: Looks like it's on Canal+, which the pubs are likely to have.
  2. Am I wrong in thinking that if we finish 7th we are guaranteed an InterToto place?
  3. The ping times (I presume you meant) bit. Dont believe that. 119603[/snapback] It's because cable transfers packets more quickly than telephone wire, nothing to do with ntl getting something right, why wouldn't you believe that? Haven't used them myself, but I'd be fairly confident that's correct.
  4. The first half or the second half?
  5. You didn't, but your argument was that he was cheap and we had a small squad. On that basis there'd be a few on here that could make up the numbers. If you're saying that the "many" who rate him along with the likes of Mikel (who hasn't achieved anything yet) are right, then that's a different argument.
  6. Apparently their pings are hard to beat, if you're into online games. But the service is appalling, in Ireland anyway.

    bizarre

    And he's got a Prince Albert.
  8. Most of the ones leading up to it left a lot to be desired tbh.
  9. Already on mine, I had a word with myself after the last piss-take, and while we decided he was fun to take the piss out of, he's perilously close to the edge.
  10. I agree with that, but it doesn't make it bollocks, it makes the idea of mind-controlled super army soldiers carrying out instructions against their will very questionable. Also - be very careful about the notion of people only doing what they "want" to do. That need can be on a completely different level to the one that you operate on, and can be twisted. Hyponotherapists will always tell you that you can't do anything you don't want to, I think the truth may be a little darker than they'd want you to know.
  11. In what way, I would suggest someone's fantasy of what hypnosis is is bollocks, not the very real applications of it.
  12. AF was on my ignore list for a while after he chilled out, on probation. Times change Renton, let it go. The recent spate of WUM's like MagsFan has me worried if there's a limit on the number of users I can have on my ignore list.
  13. Is that bad like? I would never go over 40 GB a month anyway. Surely they all have fair usage policies. Craig the website's been on the blink all day - must be the demand thanks to my link. 119519[/snapback] 40 gigs isn't that big for anyone downloading movies regularly (legitimately or otherwise), but the bigger problem is the fair use policy, a lot of companies in the UK seem to use it as an excuse to severely limit big downloaders, even after offering unlimited download.
  14. No, you're thinking of mentalists.
  15. I get why he's a legend, and I loved watching him play, I just don't enjoy reading his support of a manager (that was relegating his beloved club) every other week. Ramage pisses me off for similar reasons. Fowler's currently a lot more useful to Liverpool and is playing under a decent manager, but in fairness to Clark he's not done badly since he came back.
  16. You mean Souness would have been sacked and we would have more points? I concur, the selfish twat! Mind, it would have been better if Villa had scored that penalty! 119469[/snapback] Egg-zackerly. I just think he's a thick cunt who's been brought back solely to tow the party line. If only he had the brains to realise it could damage the club he loves so much. I don't have a UMesque problem with him, it just pissed me off how he celebrated that goal. Thought Gareth Barry was angling for a move with that miss tbh.
  17. I'd say it's legit, they'll all go this way in the next couple of years anyway. Once wireless networks with wireless handsets become common place it'll be interesting to see what value the telcos add to survive.
  18. Surely most NUFC fans secretly think that we could go on a great run now and hope upon hope that we can get close to qualifying for the UeFA cup through league placing. A long shot, but one that is tantalising. In 5 matches we would have to make up: 2 point on West Ham 3 points on Wigan & Bolton (who have a game in hand) 9 points on Arsenal (who have a game in hand and are on a good run) With our run-in, 7th is very achievable and unless I'm mistaken that would guarantee us InterToto Cup. But 6th, even if we won all our remaining fixtures, is not going to happen. If Clark hadn't put that injury time goal in against Boro it'd probably be a different story.
  19. Fucking hell, date-rapists'r'us, if Renton and Gemmill ever do get it together, they'll both end up in a room somewhere, tied up and unconscious.
  20. Are you not a bit old to be blaming that on your mother? Business doesn't have to be unethical, especially on a small scale. Plus I wouldn't feel too guilty about people getting ripped off anyway, people could fight the level of shite they put up with, they don't, they deserve what they get </bitterness>.
  21. agreed, I think its great preparation for the coming season. 119387[/snapback] It didn't really help this year though. 119440[/snapback] That's because preparation is also great preparation for the coming season.
  22. Not wanting to get into this, I would say that the system is never going to be perfect, but right now it's a fucking disaster. Having a justice system that concentrates solely on improving the statistics would be a step in the right direction. I've never seen those figures, but I don't think "psychopaths" are the biggest problem, although it obviously has to be addressed. I'm more worried about basically uneducated people who don't really understand why they shouldn't do something, not on the level of mental retardation, but sometimes pretty close. Until we can deal with that religion is essential to stability, for the same reason I can't sit down and reason with my cat. Good upbrining would be a fantastic starting point as well. I would say I have a very small conscience, but I was raised to treat people well, solely "because it's the right thing to do",and that's what I do. Any good system would start educating people at an early age, but the problem with that is that the system can be corrupted by people raised in a different environment, unless you shut down your borders; the Netherlands being a good example. Not getting into it, of course...
