I got shadowbanned (not supposed to be doing this anymore) as I asked him if he planned to get drunk and accuse of paying customers of being thieves again.

I'm unfit these days, need to get my act together and start training properly.


So this is what started the decline into him being a broken mess.

The off topic section was always a blast here, pretty much anything relevant in the world was discussed, some quite politically!

Good times, I'm sure there is a way back to that...

*Edit*

One post?!! All those years wasted


Then people started getting ripped for humour, threads being banned from being discussed for 'advertisers', Cliques started to form and people bullied off for no reason (Aaron Meadows was absolutely superb though)

Once certain members started to agitate for things their own then it slowly died off. The thing that made Susie great was her open discussions as you mentioned. A milder form of Tumblr if you will.

Hmm. It's like Tumblr at times.

Ozil at Real was considered amongst the best players in the world while Silva never has been.

67% of people rejected AV. It got crushed.


It was crushed by what was exposed as a Tory funded smear campaign. If anything but FPTP is in play in this country then Conservatives and Labour would finally be at risk of losing power.

Silva isn't in the same league Ozil at all. I'm sorry this opinion is outside of your usual hugbox but while Silva is good he is not at Ozil's level

  • I think they were interested in Di María and Sanchez, we certainly tried to sign Sanchez a few years ago.
  • They don't really need Ozil, given they already have David Silva who is both a better player and already settled in.
  • Chelsea wouldn't have sold Mata to City.
  • Bit weird they don't seem to have tried for Kroos or Thiago though.


Ozil is a far better player than Silva. When City raided Valencia they got the wrong player as they should have picked up Mata instead

Klopp would be an idiot to go to City. Pep is tailor made for the City job as he can help with the whole structure of the club that has faltered in recent years.

Massively disappointing episode I thought.


First is always a catch-up of sorts, second is the arch into the season and the third is where it kicks off.

Thank God I took our damage cover!


So it took longer to bend than the iPhone 6 plus then. Less damage also which is a good sign

Lascelles is decent but needs direction on the pitch. I can't see Newcastle being good for him without a decent manager and player recruitment.

Bergkamp was a far better all rounder than those two.. He could tackle for a start.

Would have loved to see more of Ronaldo at his peak, unfortunately injuries in the late 90's/very early 00's while at Inter slowed him down massively. He was still quick afterwards and obviously the technical side of his game remained, but by all accounts he was absolutely electric before those knee injuries.

That's true.

Ronaldo, Batistuta, etc, absolute monsters. Players like Shearer, Christian Vieri too. Paddy Kluivert, Crespo, Salas. What an era, wish I could have seen more of them, the current game needs more proper strikers.


The closest this gen got was Drogba and he was a diving fanny. Although maybe Zlatan could be included.

This generation seems more technical and geared towards those behind the strikers. So when you get good players up top then they seem so much more. Having seem the likes of who you mentioned I don't rate them though although I do respect how much they can do with the ball.

Henry came back and spoke to Henry. He didn't confront him. Sheamus teased the heel turn during axxess and he plays a hell better. Reigns wasn't booed that much. as it was mainly smarks who booed due to the booking around him so they eased off after most saw WM.

Ronaldo was a beast in a time when football was a lot more physical and you had rocks in defence and midfield. Now we have the Busquets and the Pepes.

For me Ronaldo is far better and it can't be changed.

Poor Ronaldo, having to play with such appalling players. If only he'd have had the luxury of playing in a decent side at any point in his career.


There is a huge difference between the players Ronaldo had behind him and the simply world class pairing of Xavi and Iniesta

Just looking at the Wiki stats you could say Ronaldo's level As he has outscored Messi. Messi from 2004 has 276 goals in 307 games. whereas CR7 since 2009 has 214 in 197 games. 5 years difference and that is all there is. Just look at their records elsewhere as well.

Waste of time anyhow. The greatest forward ever is the real Ronaldo.

Messi has had the luxury of that dream midfield behind him. Until he does it consistently without them then I won't rate him in the top players right now let alone ever.

I've also said for a long time that Suarez is better. He has done it on each stage that has he taken on and despite his onfield issues he does it and now he is doing it in yet another country.

Seeing as Hazard is on track to being POTY and has been in TOTY for basically every season and is a 'similar' player, I'd think Messi would do fine


Fine, maybe but Messi isn't doing fine in Spain, he is doing phenomenal (second only to CR7 in stats). I would say Hazard is better for my liking but I think Suarez is better than both.

Messi isn't the type of player to dominate the Premier League. CR7 and Suarez are though. I doubt Messi could move country and be anywhere near as good.

My roommate has one. Good phone, dodgy company, wouldn't trust them with my money really.


Dodgy? They've had a few hiccups (what new companies don't?) but they took on more staff and have improved massively.
