  1. The Torres miss had absolutely nothing do with lack of confidence, it was just a horror miss that you can't account for.
  2. He's prone to concentration lapses, like his pass straight to Torres for example. I'm surprised you wouldn't want Fletcher in there. I've never really seen him have a bad day in a Utd shirt. He's not fancy but he's oh so effective. I think it speaks volumes that today was his first competitive start in a Utd shirt in a long time and looked like he'd never been away. I also don't see what the fuss is all about over Cleverly, looks like a case of a decent player in a great side. I'm not bashing Utd for the sake of it but it's getting boring hearing people crow about players who are distinctly average in my eyes.
  3. Man Utd have long of very talented players but Anderson just isn't one of them. He's unbelievably bad, not to mention overweight. It's not so obvious because he's playing in a great side but he doesn't seem to do anything. Doesn't play the Fletcher role or the Scholes role, I can't believe he's in the team ahead of Carrick. He doesn't score, he doesn't create and he's no where near as effective as Fletcher at breaking up play.
  4. Chelsea must be wondering how they lose that, linesman definitely didn't help. Terrible miss aside, it was good to see Torres somewhere near his old self, i've always been a big fan of him since his early days in the 2nd Division in Spain for Atletico. His game was always based on his runs off the ball and Jones and Evans both struggled to keep hold of him. Just needs a decent run of goals to get that confidence going. It was only about a year ago Rooney couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo and now he can't stop scoring.
  5. He does have a touch of Justin Beiber about him. That's not necessarily a good thing.
  6. I echo these sentiments. My hand was in agony yesterday after constantly smashing it off my desk in disgust at what I was watching. At least Wenger actually slated the team for once, not because THEY ARE ALL SO YOUNG AND MUST BE PROTECTED.
  7. I'm really looking forward to this. I loved Final Fantasy 13 and the whole universe. It was a great feeling when the whole Paradigm system clicked and you actually knew what you were doing. My only complaint was the it didn't open up until too late into the game but it was at least an attempt at them trying a new style. My only hope for the sequel is that Hope dies a very painful death. His emo whining got on my nerves big style.
  8. Finally got the Platinum for NHL 11. It's a good thing I loved the game so much because some of the trophies were fairly difficult, not to mention time sensitive. Now to finish off Dragon Age and then perhaps start on NHL 12!
  9. You've seen Robbie Savage yes? I love Paul Merson, you always get the feeling he's just rolled out of bed before going live. Doesn't mince his woods either.

    Tidying

    I'm a bit like this when it comes to anything on my DVD/Blu Ray/Games unit. Everything has to be line up flush with the bevel of the shelf, absolutely no protruding. Everything is categorised in alphabetical order too As for the rest of the the room, is pretty tidy. I just don't like living in mess. I also like the minimalist look, which is why my Desk only has my laptop and an NHL game puck on it.
  11. Absolutely, it's amazing how quickly you're body builds endurance. When I started it was a struggle to run for 5 minutes and afterwards i was dead. Before I tore a leg muscle I was doing 24 miles a week split between three runs at an hour a time. It did get boring after a while but even after each run as finished I was never tired.
  12. I'll absolutely take that considering we apparently can't defend. Love seeing Arteta bleeding and racing to get back on, passion that was sorely lacking from those that will remain nameless. Didn't start brilliantly but Koscielny was throwing himself around like a madman at the end. Song was just Alex Song, everywhere. Can't obviously help being a bit disappointed by the lost 2 points considering how well we defended the lead but you don't save a strike like that. Just a start though, need a good follow up on Saturday against Rovers.
  13. Dean Winchester is my hero. If I could live anyones life or be like someone, it would be him.
  14. Have you ever visited Scotland? We're not exactly blessed with an abundance of Motorways.
  15. It's a hard one to call this season. The top teams all look good but each have their own deficients. Man City's defence is shit in comparison to their front line and Utd's problems lie in goal. Chelsea will be there or there abouts but i'm not convinced AVB knows who he should be playing upfront and I really can't see them keeping the 5 happy. I'm not sure about us, it's been a difficult start but i'd just like to see us not being ravaged by injuries and suspensions, would nice to be able to field the same eleven from time to time.
  16. Bonus point because we're awesome and you're not.
  17. I drink an obscene amount of Tea everyday and I love it.

    Ice Hockey

    It's been a terrible summer for Hockey and it just got worse. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=587792 A plane crash near the city of Yaroslavl in Central Russia has claimed the lives of at least 43 people, according to Russia's Emergency Situations Ministry. The majority of victims are believed to be members of the Kontinental Hockey League club, Lokomotiv. "We have no team anymore," Vladimir N. Malkov, the team spokesman, said in a telephone interview with The New York Times. "All our starting players, and all the service people, they all burned in the crash."
  19. Just keep playing it. It will open up majorly at a certain point. It took me 93 hours to get the Platinum, so it certainly made good value for me.
  20. That's awesome that your Gran gives you advice like that. Mine just tells me to speak slower.
  21. Yeah we weren't great but that doesn't excuse idiot referring. The Charlie Adam tackle was a penalty in the first half but you can't justify that as a reason to give one an hour later with no time left in the game. Tactically Levein got it all wrong again, why are we playing 4-5-1 at home against an average Czech side. We showed them far too much respect and gave them far too much time on the ball. Thankfully they had Baros up front, or it could have been far worse.
  22. Rookie Mistake No 1 I never shave before going out for obvious reasons, so I normally do it the day before. Alas I forgot to do that so ended up doing it before going out yesterday. Obviously this ended up in the most retarded cut on the side of my face that just would't stop bleeding. All the more annoying, considering I never normally cut myself when shaving.
  23. Think i'm going to have to make a bit of a return to the this Playstation thingy. I've not really played much of it in the past few months and I've got an annoying problem of having to complete games I haven't finished before buying new ones. As I type this I can see Dragon Age looking on the shelf looking at me
