Really enjoying Black Stone Cherry at the moment.

Saw at Download instead of Slipknot and they put on a great show!

I had an amazing week at New Designers, given a lot of business cards and a lot of mine taken away. Fingers crossed a job/internship comes up soon.

Also I found out I got a 2:1, delighted!

Congrats mate!

He looked good last season - would be a really good signing for us I think.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic.

He's decent cover for a Prem side in a few positions, but I wouldn't stretch so far as "quality".

He was great this season pretty much whether he played. Especially in the defensive/holding midfielder role.

We definitely should be keepimg him around

That one wasn't too bad. It certainly wasn't the one from 2 seasons later that looked like a nappy. Or this...

They're certainly young enough to end up in 10 years time being looked back at as club legends.

As for major international honours or any honours, that really doesn't prove anything. I mean Ross Turnbull has the same amount of Champions League winners medals as Petr ÄŒech, Peter Schmeichel and more than Gianluigi Buffon, yet you wouldn't say he's better.

It's pretty clear that Wilshere, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain could become world class players for both Arsenal and England.

In some cases, yeah, honours don't prove anything. But the Turnbull analogy is pretty irrelevant in this situation I think

With players like Vieira, Henry etc. it has some weight given they were actually key contributors in their teams/national side. Not a reserve GK like Turnbull.

Tbh, he had a good hit with the one and only



He played my Freshers week - got asked if I was him, so I said yeah and took photos with random people.

He wasn't that shit either!

I forget the issue at Fulham. Wasn't it due to his contract ending?

Yeah, he had a one year contract and thought he could better job so didn't want to discuss an extension with Fulham.

He was rumoured for the Chelsea job at the point iirc

Did anyone watch My Name Is Earl. I'm rewatching at the moment - for me it's probably my favourite comedy program, just a shame it was cancelled.

I'd call getting Fulham to 8th a good season for them - they aren't exactly big spenders.

Hughes did a good job there I think.

Bolton will be up there I think, Freedman looks like a good manager. If Wigan keep hold of most of their squad and don't appoint a dud they shouldn't be a million miles off. Reading with Adkins too yeah.

Hard to say with QPR - people have said they could do a Newcastle and dominate it but Newcastle kept a large number of their players iirc, whereas QPR will surely have to ship loads out and bring a few more in.

We got rid of a lot of our high-paid players that summer - and back then we probably paid over the odds wages for a lot of players not unlike QPR now. Plus some of our players that our now very good were looking like busts (or at least not as good as they do now) back then, i.e. Coloccini.

With Harry in charge I reckon QPR will be there or thereabouts next season. It'll be interesting to see how much interest there is in Wigan's players, I wouldn't mind Newcastle having a serious look at Kone for one.

Apparently Liverpool have signed Iago Aspas from Celta Vigo for 9 million euros.

I guess even if Andy Carroll wants to compete at Liverpool he might not be given an opportunity

i just wonder, did Newcastle want Carroll back or not? i believe they not interesting or im wrong?

Earlier in the year, Pardew said he would be interested in taking Carroll back.

A couple of weeks ago I think Llambias came out and said that we wouldn't be interested - but I suppose that could be due to how much we're willing to spend.

Alright sounds good. Just like my other one. Is it active trade wise?

It wasn't last year - I don't know about the other guys but it was my first time playing FF, so I was getting the hang of everything else.

I think that the small number of people meant all our rosters were pretty stacked, plus a couple of guys lost interest over the course of the season which didn't help trades happen.

It's always been shit.

Alan Sugar is the main problem though, he's just a hypocrite.

Still, it's pretty entertaining.

There was always some idiots on it to keep it amusing, but when there was a job on offer there always seemed to be some reasonably competent people on it.

Yeah, it is still a decent watch - Dara O'Brien on the after-show thing is pretty good.

We use NFL.com, just stuck with the standard non PPR scoring system and a player draft as opposed to an auction.

100 days until Ravens @ Broncos to kick off the season! It can't come quick enough for me.

After my playoff meltdown in the SUSIE Fantasy league, I'm looking for a shot a redemption this time around.

Anyone game for it this season? We had six players last year, so we definitely have room for 4-6 extra players this time round.

I know TomDixon and Allforone were in last season, but I can't remember who the other guys were.

No It's not, it's what they've done to it. They dropped Nil Satis Nisi Optimum and the two wreathes.

But yea I don't think it' looks too bad, if you stand a mile away looking at it while it's on fire.

Do the wreathes represent something in particular?

Rough night yesterday, my wife found out through Facebook that her best freind had died, you may remember me mentioning this girl a couple of months ago as she came to stay for a night but ended up living with us for almost a month. she had a bit of a tendency to lie for attention so I didn't take it seriously until we went down to her house and her live in landlord confirmed. utterly speechless, the police have forbidden him to talk about cause of death until after the inquest but she was only 24 years old. my wife is in bits blaming herself.

Sorry to hear it, hope your both ok!

That would creep the hell out of me hearing them noises in space!


At the risk of sounding like a Physics nerd ...

... you wouldn't hear the sounds in space - it's not actually sound. It's converting radio waves (infrared light) into sound, like how an analog radio works.

But it is pretty cool !

Certainly we should be higher than 16th. But, I think just to expect us to repeat getting into Europe this season would have been too high an expectation.

But in some ways things went our way for most of last season, and things didn't go our way for the most part this season. We won a lot of games with Cisse scoring world class goals last season - and unsuprisingly he hasn't managed to repeat that this season.

Obviously, it's not all luck and we have played badly for a lot of this season.

I think he should get another season - he's had one bad year and one exceptional year. Lets see how he does next season when we'll have the pre-season to work with our expanded team and hopefully some reasonable goalscoring threats to replace Cisse when he's not doing so well. Plus, fingers-crossed we won't have the same amount of injuries as last year.

In some ways, I think the expectations have ramped up to high after the 5th place finish (with the majority of fans, not necessarily the guys on here). We overperformed that season and underperformed this season.

I remember watching it for the first time, properly got sucked into the story!

Was terrified that Gene was going to be some sort of villain all along

Me too!

I haven't watched it all in one go - so I never really noticed whether it was inconsistent or not.

Wenger's said Arsenal are in 'advanced talks' with Yaya Sanogo.

Apart from him being good on FM, I don't thing about him.

Well it does say in their advertising they charge at 4214% APR and their chief executive has admitted they are a more expensive alternative to conventional loans. So, possibly.

As for what Wonga may look like on our kits, this kit is meant to be our new away kit (and to be worn on Sunday, weirdly)...

Not as bad as I was dreading. But it may look bad on the hideous yellow kit our third is rumoured to be.

That actually looks pretty nice !
