  1. Strange choice it wasn't exactly given a glowing review by Mr. Hodgson - "I found Schultz in an antique shop in Brighton. I've read it about five times.” “It can't have been very exciting, though, otherwise I would have remembered.”
  2. It's plastered over nearly every double decker bus in Dublin.
  3. I mostly use it for BBC iPlayer and Hulu and the quality has been fine. It glitched a few times when I tried streaming HD content from iPlayer but that was due being on a terrible internet connection at the time.
  4. I use WiTopia.net's VPN software for $60/year. There are gateways in a bunch of countries including Canada, Ireland, UK, and the US.

  7. The reaction is completely over the top. I for one am glad that Ireland aren't going to the World Cup. The standard of football played during the qualifying group stage was brutal. If the team had played through out the qualifiers like they did last night then they would have topped the group. There is also no mention of the fact that Ireland came from 1-0 down to beat Georgia 2-1 in dubious circumstances. The first was a penalty which was awarded out of nothing - Keane failed to control the ball, defenders cleared it - PENALTY. Five minutes later Keane scored a diving header, replay showed that it was his upper arm.
  8. Did Pennant even make an appearance last season? Riera, Kuyt, Benayoun, Babel, Aurelio and Dossena certainly made more appearances than him in the wide positions. Hyypia wasn't even in the Champions League squad and Keane certainly wasn't missed when he left in January. Alonso and Arbeloa were the only two first choice players to depart and were replaced by Aquilani and Johnson.
  9. It'll be free until they shut it down or another broadcaster picks it up.
  10. He plays within a different set of rules to the game.
  11. And Messi on loan for a season
  12. Lucas plays in central midfield, the Greek is a central defender. So unless we're going back to the mid 1990s there'll be 4 defenders and 4 midfielders in the team. Adding another defender to the squad does not mean there is going to be one less starting line-up position in the midfield.
  13. So long as it's not for the opposition it'll be okay.
  14. It's great to seem he's finally being recognised by fans. Less than six months ago he was being booed by Liverpool fans at Anfield and there was more than one thread slagging him off here. Scape goat to accepted player in less than six months is impressive though.
  15. He's a goal threat from set pieces He knows how to handle the Turks ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smp7BtUvEDY It's like signing the Greek version of Ricardo Carvalho http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5BP4jLYfj8 Imagine the likes of Drogba on the receiving end of this: He even scores a good O.G ... I like him already
  16. We started poorly last season too - goals in the last few minutes rescued the opening games against Sunderland and Middlesbrough. We were heading for penalties against Liege until Kuyt scored with a minute to spare in extra time. And the game against Villa was brutal - we were lucky to get a 0-0 draw.
  17. +2 we drew last year
  18. Sol Campbell is out of contract.
  19. Has somebody knicked Maldini's login details? Mascherano was heading for Juventus before Rafa showed up at the door of his apartment. Little reminder Most on here were delighted with the prospect of his signing at the time.

  21. He'll fit right in then.
  22. In 2004 Rafa stole him from under the noses of Madrid. Alonso was due to sign for them but they were stalling on completing the deal because Vieira was the player they really wanted. It looked like Madrid were getting Vieira so Sociedad accepted the 11th hour offer from Liverpool, the extortionate sell-on clause is to make up the difference in the offers accepted by Sociedad for the player. Within hours/days of Alonso signing for Liverpool, the Vieira move collapsed, had Rafa not acted when he did, Alonso would already be a Real Madrid player.
