Pfffft who can even watch the garbage that is football nowdays. As entertainment its up there with scraping paint off a rusty door and half them can`t even kick a football 10 yards.

I assume by TSC post that Harry got beaten again, that pleases me.

Diabhal Beag

I dunno. Could watch a football match any day. From what I watch this is the order of excitement:
1. Hurling
2. Rugby
3. Football
4. Soccer

I used to like it a few years ago but its been woeful for a few years now negative tactics where teams just play deep knowing the opposition just cannot score from distance be it by hand or from the ground. They can run around a lot though fair play to them and handpass.

Running around O Connell Street at 1am with an El Generico mask hammered on Buckfast is an interesting way to spend my birthday!

Not sure what ROG was at, but I wouldn't be tough on Jackson. He is only a Kid in Rugby terms. Not sure what Kidney was expecting from him but I hope he was expecting his to be as accomplished as Farrell is for England, he is a freak.

Barca murdered at home. Love it. You don't often see that. Hopefully the media overhype Madrid ahead of the Utd game now.

Stereomaniac

The ****in car overheated on the way to school this morning, and I had a hitch-hiker with me.

GTR63

Didn't watch the clasico, I barely go out of my way to watch football much anymore. But thats 3 pretty sorry performances from Barca on the trot. Don't get why Villa doesn't start for them, Messi is the only goal threat when teams sit deep and they have all that possession.
Can't see it lasting another fortnite though :-/

ROFL Benitez has gone mental again. :pac:

@henrywinter: Benitez on #cfc fans: "They are wasting time with their banners and songs. They don't need to worry about me. I leave at end of the season'


@henrywinter: Benitez fuming in press conference here: "These Chelsea fans have an agenda. These Chelsea fans are damaging the image of the club' #cfc

@henrywinter: Benitez: "I'm experienced. I've won the Champions League, the Spanish league twice, the FA Cup. They (fans) are a group with an agenda''

@henrywinter: Benitez says #cfc fans 'must get behind the team or they will be in the Europa League next season'

Henry Winter ‏@henrywinter
Well that was lively. Benitez has left press-room. He's slaughtered #cfc fans, criticised board. Interesting to see how long he lasts now

GTR63

They would want to stop with the 16th minute clapping thing its tragic and only makes me laugh. If they had balls they'd hit out at the owner who sacked him. They won a Champions League and it quickly got shown up as being a fluke. No matter who they got I doubt they could challenge for anything when they clearly want rid of Lampard and Terry while also persisting with Torres who isn't even a shadow of what he was.

Its just a hilarious situation all round, watching a shambles of a club run itself into the ground, while Benitez suffers another meltdown and blames all round him for his own shortcomings and his LFC supporting disciples salivate over him like lovesick puppies. A match made in heaven.

Tbf not everything that is going on at Chelsea is just his fault. They`d be fine if they kept Ancelloti or got in somebody who is used to having stuff like Transfers, Contracts and team selection taken out of his hands.
Even if they managed to get Simeone, Pellegrini or Conte it`d eventually all end in tears. Forget about Mourinho he left Inter in such a utter mess.

As I said its a laughable situation all round.

When you're being tactically outmanoeuvered by the like of Sam Allardyve though alarm bells start to ring. He will struggle to get a decent jon now i think and his rant tonight will maker owners even more reluctant.

I was thinking of buying a Snes recently because I loved it as a kid but instead I came across this brilliant website that lets you play Snes games for free without downloading anything.

Not sure if its a well known site or not but heres the website

http://snesbox.com/

Mario world and All stars brings back some memories.

Lord TSC

A flash based emulator?

Awesome!

Ridley

This is horrible, it's getting all the games I wanted to play on the SNES but couldn't at the same time. ASTERIX & OBELIX. EARTHBOUND. JOE & MAC 2. A DOZEN OR SO RPGS.

He's spot on. He's done a crap job from a Chelsea point of view (a great one from an Arsenal point ) but a lot of their fans refused to even give him a chance to do anything before deciding he should be sacked.

Angron

Isn't that sort of how football works though? Team doing poorly? SACK THE MANAGER NOW! If clubs followed their fans advice on managers, it'd be a wonder most survived more than a few months :pac:

Lads i`m fairly sh*t when it comes to PC tech but would it be safe if I turn off Windows updates. In the last 2 days whenever i`ve switched off my laptop the updates have taken forever to install(5-8hrs). Its REALLY pissing me off at this stage.

jaykhunter

I've never turned that on and it runs great. Make sure you've good antivirus (I use the free Microsoft security one from ninite.com) and scan for viruses using malwarebytes, never looked back. Drop windows updates like a bad case of the clap!

GTR63

Its just that is says Not Recommended had me worried I use Norton antivirus so that should keep me covered. It was so fn annoying. :mad:
Another question this time about that Snes site could I use a 360 controller or my idle Street Fighter Gamepad to play those games?
Keyboard is a bitch for ISS.

Yeah mate.

I'm using my wired xbox controller.

I was delighted when I found out I could use it because I hate using my keyboard for any type of game.

shhhh you'll ruin the tiresome "LOL LIVERPOOL XD" circle jerk in this thread from a couple of posters.

Diabhal Beag

Aye I was getting to that myself Digitalism.

Just a favour guys: I know it's fun to LOL at Liverpool doing badly, especially if you're a United fan, but it makes horrible reading for everybody else, especially considering that's all they do over in the soccer forum. It just doesn't really mix with the easy-going vibe around here (I know I sound like a stupid stoner there). It's just a pet peeve of mine as football brings out the worst in people I know IRL too.

Lord TSC

:P

I honestly believe that Liverpool, both as a team and a fanbase, have a habit of bringing a lot of the problems on themselves, be it with the way they handled the Evra situation or the fact a lot of fans seem to delude themselves constantly into thinking "This is our year" or constantly posting ABU comments in match threads when ever anything goes even slightly wrong. If Liverpool fans kept their heads down a bit more on the soccer forum and didn't make such easy targets of themselves constantly, there'd be far less problems imo...

I'll be positive though; PP had an enhanced treble of United, City and Pool to win, so provided City don't muck up against Villa, Pool have helped me on to my biggest win ever in betting

Diabhal Beag

But do they go mental ITT? I agree they bring a load of abuse on themselves over there and in general but it's very one-sided over this side.

Lord TSC

Probably cause there's a fair few United fans over here. Of course there's some level of bias. Sure if there was multiple Pool fans and no United fans, roles would be reversed...
