What is it with Bradford and fucking cup runs? It's actually a bit disconcerting...

Ah I miss Double Dash - it was a really underrated game with my main enjoyment coming from having two vs two where the person in the back is trying to kick the shit out of everything that gets anywhere near the kart I have a Wii (now in the cupboard, admittedly) and Wii U (I'm sticking with Nintendo, they've given me such enjoyable games over the years - although I also play PC and have a PS3) and the Mariokart games on those have many of the older tracks on them anyway. And surely you can get hold of a DS easily enough, they have MK on those as well. I'm hoping they make another F-Zero some day as well.

Believe me mate, I'm entirely sympathetic to your points. I don't know if there's an agenda to downplay anti-muslim killings in the news, is all. On literally everything else you've said there, I'm in agreement. Israel in particular.

Just wondering if anyone on here plays any previous era games, or if you're all just keeping pace with the new releases? I've just redownloaded Freelancer for the PC which was one of my first space age games. Still think as a flight sim/space shooter it hasn't been surpassed by anything that remains on the market. As an aside, I reckon that this thread will live or die by how many similar retro games we've all played. If we're spread out all over the place this isn't going to get very far. Aside from Freelancer, I've also got Majora's Mask lined up for the 3DS when that's available. Truly underrated Zelda game.

Duuude....

WTF you need a shaman for this drug as well??

I don't even know what it is...

I think I'd actually be up for this, possibly only in an observational capacity though...

I'm laughing now but I bet I'm doing yoga by the end of the year...

I bet fucking yoga has something to do with this...

Immigration...?? Surely people can't just be suddenly attempting to live more healthily??

That's actually pretty surprising... wonder what's driving that?

Gemmill is a full on Yoga evangelist these days.

I'm going to tentatively suggest that Parky may have meant our chances under Pardew...? At least that's where I was in agreement with him.

Very true. Although we wouldn't even need someone as expensive as Lukaku - Remy himself would have been £13m cheaper and more effective (had we signed him when QPR did).

Yeah I wouldn't argue with that, but teams the size of RM and Chelsea have three or four world class strikers. Wouldn't it make sense if one of those was a Lukaku - a player who could be brought out for the counterattacking games? I think my point is that it's hard to judge him when playing in a system that isn't well suited to him. Weirdly, I think he'd do better playing for us, given our systems. If he went to a team that played good counterattacking football, he'd probably get picked up by an elite team in order to allow them the option of employing a similar system. Or he could just be pants. On the wider point, I agree that they're an interesting case. The thing is though, they could still feasibly do very well in the Europa League this year, and a 12th place finish plus an EL trophy wouldn't be a bad result for them. Wouldn't that also give them CL quals?

Real Madrid counter attack don't they? As do Chelsea when playing anyone half decent. Or they did at least... Same for Dortmund.

Yep, seems like a fair assessment. I'd just add though that they've had Pienaar and Osman out injured for a while, and they're supposed to be the guys who link defence with attack - could be missing their presence (although you'd think Barkley, with all the hype, should be capable). Does Martinez play to Lukaku's strengths though? He's one of those players who wants to be running onto the ball isn't he? That's more of a hallmark of counterattacking sides, and Martinez's possession game won't fit that particularly. He'll be being expected to work himself into space in the box instead.

Their forum (Everton are my second team) seem to feel that he is both guilty of being out of form, and also suffering from starvation of service. Either way, not a great situation for the club.

I feel like a "This is why we can't have nice things" would be appropriate here.

As an aside this place is very quiet today, I think we're missing all the quizzes... have these been discontinued?

I think people would definitely make those assumptions if the media reported that the killers were Muslims - I just don't know how often reports of non-religiously motivated killings by Muslims ever make reference to their religion. Ultimately, how would anyone even know they were Muslim unless this was something that they were broadcasting. I suppose I could be convinced of this if I could see some evidence of murders that specifically make mention of the religion of the killers without it being the actual justification for the attack (as described by the killers themselves).

If they're all in one column, can you just set it up so that the cell next to them has the formula: =A1(or whatever the cell you're trying to divide is)/1000 Then you just copy that down for all of the cells beneath.
