  1. Bollocks. There's only one Spurs player I'd have in our side and he's Dutch. Bale is a class player but is also a different player to Walcott. To say one is better is very ignorant as you would put it. How many times last season did Bale go missing in a game directly after a champions league? often. Theo has always had so much potential but has suffered from injuries at bad times and dips in form. Now he's been fully fit for a while he's showing what he can do. He's not even playing his natural position but is getting the job done. They're the same age, Theo has far more experience and has done it far more often on the bigger stage. Wasn't there a long period when Bale couldn't even win a game in a Spurs shirt? I'll leave the last word to Lionel Messi. "Theo one of the most dangerous players I have ever played against".
  2. I didn't see your name mentioned in the conversation. Come to mention it, I don't believe you were involved in the conversation until now.
  3. But they aren't that easy to damage. I reckon the money i've spent replacing Apple earphones every few months would exceed the price for some beats that would last much longer.
  4. I'd love the over-the-head Beats, but I just don't think I can pull them off.
  5. It comes down to how much you love listening to music. You'd be amazed at how much of a song you miss when you're using shitty cans. I'd like to get a set of the in-ear Beats but struggling to decide between them. The price is high but personally for myself I spend so much time listening to music each day, you're spending a lot of money on buying the music and an iPod or whatever, you might as well invest in the equipment you use to actually listen to the music.
  6. 'I'm not going to wear a hat like a normal person, oh no, i'm going to wear it like a tit'.
  7. Respected in the way that any professional football club is respected. I'm clearly talking about calling yourself one of the 'big teams'. You say you can at least acknowledge Arsenal as a well respected club, there's a reason for that. There's a decent chance we'll be talking about Spurs in that regard in 10 years time but for what they've achieved in the last 10 years, it doesn't fit. Fans have contrasting views, that's football mate, not ignorance.
  8. Your welcome. The fact that figures of £40 million were behind talked about in regard to his move to Chelsea was disgraceful. He's the only attacking midfielder who apparently isn't judged on goals or assists because he 'does other things so well'. I don't think many question his ability but lets keep it at a sensible level, he's no Fabregas. There's 2 other Spurs midfielders alone I rate higher. It's not even December and the Spurs fans are thinking above their station. Come back once you've qualified for the Champions league in back to back seasons. Respect is earned for a body of performances over the years, not one good season.
  9. Modric doesn't score often, he doesn't get many assists and he doesn't even want to be there. He's clearly the best midfielder in the world.
  10. I do love the music created by Joshua Radin. Such simplicity, yet so endearing.
  11. Good point, i'm just getting over the fact there won't be any more of The Event, no point getting into a show that could last 10 episodes. The more i've seen of it the less it appeals to me. I will check out Breaking Bad, had quite a few people recommend it.
  12. I was just blown away by it. I watched the first 6 episodes when they first aired late last year but missed an episode and never caught up. Bought the Blu Ray last week, stuck it on due to boredom and got hooked. It's gotten me back into Tv, having stopped watching any shows at all. Sean Walker is also my new hero. Had a look at The Cape on iTunes, but i've heard some bad things about it, is it worth a watch? I like the idea of Pan AM too but I'm guessing by the looks of it it's just a soap set in an airport.
  13. I fear the Enter key is getting the worst of this.
  14. THE EVENT. What the actual fuck, spent the last 8 hours watching it and now it's 2.07am and I'm pissed off that it's finished. I'm hearing they're trying to do a movie or TV mini-series, i'm hoping to fuck it happens. It would make me a very happy bunny. Absolutely epic TV, not one wasted episode. THAT IS HOW YOU TELL A STORY.
  15. I'd be impressed if it was at once, you get nothing for one at a time.
  16. We'd have survived, we'd just revert to our base instincts. We'd all channel our inner William Wallace and march around in skirts shouting often used one-liners.
  17. According to a report from Oxford Economics, Scotland roughly pays the same in tax as it gets back in public spending. The report is a couple of years old but i'd doubt it's grown to the sort of gap you're alluding too. Scotland makes an enormous contribution to the UK economy through oil revenues from which it gets nothing off. The formula used to calculate what Scotland, N. Ireland and Wales get is ancient and does need to be looked at but take away the Oil industry work done up here and we'll all be fucked. I'd rather we didn't get cheap Uni places, the money could be spent on other things and it would surely stop the many thousands who abuse the system just to get drunk for 4 years and not have to get a real job. A tad harsh probably but there are far too many clowns who abuse the right at the cost of others who actually want to learn.
  18. We get a budget that our government decides best how to allocate (rightly or wrongly). This sounds good in theory but comes at the expense of there services. I never went to University so i'm not biased in anyway but it becomes a little tiresome when people trot out the old xenophobic angle.
  19. Don't pull that one man, there's a ton of shit I pay my taxes for and get fuck all out off it. Pulling the racism card is well out of line.

    They all attempt to invoke laughter? That's the objective.
  21. The Unforgettable Fire album is class. Bad is a personal favourite of mine off that album.
  22. Hah, next you'll be sayings that's a sign of affection in his neck of the woods
  23. This is a guy who bit a player in the ear during a match, calling someone a racial term is like childs play to him.
  24. If I find out you're lying, i'll do nothing about it.
