Any computer gurus help me fix why my laptop is being a little faggot? Google only tells me I'm entering my password wrong...

So my wifi just randomly disconnects on my laptop. Doesn't lose signal, just disconnects. Then it won't connect me for a fair few tries, after a while it will tell me the security key I'm entering is incorrect (it's not). And then just randomly connect again.. Windows 10, Lenovo Laptop, Virgin Media network, 2G. What is up?

It's fairly easysish if you're strict enough with it. I was going through it and chasing too high odds (Ireland were 2.2 ffs, but looked like they were going to win it from there). Other than Juventus yesterday most of the other bets were dead certs

I started 10 quid to 1k challenge last week, got to about 50 quid after a few bets on betting higher odds than I needed to... Then had over 1.5 goals in Wolves vs Derby and Newcastle Norwich, but cashed it out for 50 quid.. Stuck that on Ireland vs Argentina and the bloody Irish fucked me /o\

Starting again tonight, 11.13 on Atletico and Juve. Juve being fucktards at the moment

Some guy from my cycling club who now works at Halfords just messaged me on facebook, saying they're looking for someone to ride their bikes tomorrow so they can film it. £200 (?!) for it, plus I get to miss lectures for a valid reason..

Can't stand this appointment, if nothing else then for the reason that every time the BBC write 'Jurgen' without an umlaut or a 'ue' instead I want to punch them in the face.

I think thats a fairly huge assumption.

Could easily see him at Madrid.


Yeah, just my opinion but I don't see him going to them two. So up to Bayern for me really

Why do Liverpool get to have all the nice things [/jealous]


You can have Brendan now?

Damn, his interview was real good. Came across really well in it.

As for Reus, hell leave Dortmund in the next two years. Madrid and Barca wont sign him, so if Bayern dont get him he will go join somewhere else.

Hmmm. It's just weird how everyone I was playing seemed to have TOTW Ronaldo but must have just been coincidence. Have seen a couple 86 and lower players as my captain options though.

Goalies are massive bellends. Seem to come out without telling them so and then take absolutely ages to get back

Starting to get used to the passing but still little frustrating things that sometimes ruin it. Quite often (I don't know whether this is with my pass settings but it didn't use to happen) the pass would be aimed to the completely wrong player, really annoying when you got a good break and rather than passing it to the closest it just lumps it to the guy on the other side covered by the defender. Without the ball there's sometimes also a little glitch or whatever it is that my player just moves completely in the wrong direction (it's not that auto move after switching setting as I turned it off). Also corners seem a massive ball ache, I seem to concede or be very close to conceding almost every corner, yet every time my attacking corners get cleared off the line (not scored once yet).

And finally to the new Draft mode. It's good in principles but also a massive cash whore for EA. 15k to enter can add up, they say you get at least that back in packs back but it's bullshit. That bit seems completely random as I've gone out on the first round once and also won the thing and got more for going out in the first round.. Are the captains released in batches as well? I thought I was super lucky getting TOTW Ronaldo in my selection but every guy I played also had him /o\

Better than PES though imo

I knew someone would say that I'm not yet sure about that one, whether Sahin will want to come back here (obviously under different circumstances but still)

Oi shut it you, let me have my moment.

On a serious note, can see him going back to Borussia for a few reinforcements, especially in defence. Hummels might be pushing it a bit, but someone like Subotic sounds fairly realistic

Give him 100 milion in January to splash on Hummels and Reus and he'll win us the league..

Yes.

His last season at Dortmund was shocking and puts a huge question mark over how good he is. He also notoriously has a hard time embedding new players into his teams because he was quite specific in what he wanted which might indicate he'll struggle quite badly to begin with.

Ultimately, though, he'd have got the chance to work at a bigger club in the summer so if Liverpool do get him its quite a coup and Dortmund played fantastic football and were hugely exciting to watch. He's what Brenton wishes he was.


Yeah this is what I was wondering. Obviously like I said I didn't follow Borussia that much to be in the know, but seems like an exaggerated version of Rodgers, like Shola pointed out. Seems similar in his approach, (Rodgers did have us playing some fantastic football at times remember) so I'm actually not sure whether he's the right man. I would have thought after how much faith has been shown in Rodgers he'd have lasted at least another year or two, as it's unlike us to sack managers, plus makes his past 3 years kind of pointless.

We'll wait and see I guess. He seems to be the favourite and I'd be surprised if we don't actually get him in now. Will create a feel good atmosphere too as well, plus we got a fair few hard games out the way already so if he can get to January within touching distance then we can go from there. Ancelotti would be my preferred man given his track record though (and I really don't like the guy)
