Yeah, I know the feeling. I keep looking at ShopTo/ASDA's WiiU deals every 5 mins. :p

How come you didn't get it from Amazon? It's 40 quid there. I haven't bought anything new from GAME for at least 6 years. Unless it was in some kind of sale.

Congratulations, you win at life! What a lovely game. One of my favourites, evaaaar.

That's a crazy scoreline. Bayern are shit hot in the league... Sunderland have sacked Martin O'Neill. It hasn't really worked out for him and Sunderland aren't playing good football or getting results. Probably works out best for all parties. It's a shame though that the knee jerk reaction to teams not getting points seems to be sacking the manager.

Which method is more commonly used in conjunction with the Dolphin Emulator?

I don't know, but I do know there was something said about him having a particular person that he went to. A lot of sports stars have specific people that they go to in order to keep themselves conditioned. (some are quite funny about it) Don't know what exactly his schedule is. Either way, the whole situation has clearly been mismanaged by Rio and Roy, it's definitely been blown out of proportion, too. Like I said, it's come at a convenient time when England haven't been all that convincing in qualification. It's also worth noting that he isn't in the squad for today's game. We've got a strong team out today. Sunderland haven't played good football this season and I wouldn't put it past them being relegated.

We have some, but that's where we need to be looking to improve things. It would also benefit the league, it's done wonders for the German league in recent times, as well as those players who have left Germany to play in other leagues. (something which is becoming increasingly uncommon for English players to do) Definitely room for improvement. At the moment, we aren't anywhere near justifying our world ranking.

I don't know if this is actually true or a classic case of misinformation. I've heard people argue for both sides, some claiming it's legal and other's saying it isn't. Does anyone know for sure?

It's a bit more complex than just the sacking. She's a teaching assistant and has been at times victimised by one of the other teachers, who has effectively put in a word to the boss to get her thrown out. It's quite a messy one and it'll probably linger for some time.

Because now England need to be starting to think about beyond the next competition. It's about building a team that can go into the next 2,3 and 4 competitions and play a particular style of football together. It's what Germany did before the last World Cup and they did really well. We need to be emulating what they're doing. Gerrard has one last competition in him, but it's all about looking forward. Whatever happens, Wilshere should definitely be in the starting 11 when available, Barry shouldn't. Too static. At the moment, the style of football that England play is too slow, particular in midfield and this is why that they have found it hard to break down certain teams. It's not just the choice of players, the style of football needs to improve.

No problem, dude. She's been there since September. There's a good chance she is in her probation period still, I'll check. She's taking it to a teaching union and is probably going to take some action over it. Call it an emergency bulk! Or a surprise bulk. Eat fat, but then add weight to pretty much every exercise. :p

:bowdown: Came to in here to post that this is the best thing I've ever read. (today) So jealousings of you guys. Tempted to get 3DS version.

Sorry to hear about the job, dude. Talking about it helps to get it off your chest/gain support. I have no doubt that you'll bounce back from this and be better than ever. (take your frustrations over to the exercise thread. Gainssss!) In somewhat related news, a friend from work was called into the head's office on Thursday afternoon (same day we finished for Easter) and was fired on the spot. The reason: Can't afford to keep her on. Atmosphere was horrible until everyone went home.

We have Dancer In The Dark ordered from LoveFilm. It's been on our table for about a month now. I haven't geared myself up to watch it yet. Soon.

Leg day. Appropriate image for tomorrow.

Yeah, but it's at that stage with England where the "oldies" should be looking to call it a day and the youngsters can try to make a difference. The whole style of football needs to change. Hodgeson clearly isn't the right man for the job either, they don't play the right kind or enough fluid football. I know it's preferred for the manager to be English, but someone like Rijkaard would be fantastic for England. Personally, I think a right meal has been made of this situation. No doubt the media have helped to stir things up and make it into a bigger deal than it probably is. Rio's had well documented issues with his back for years now and it's quite common for players to have specific routines and regimes to enable them to keep playing/keep themselves fit, especially as they get older. (Giggs is a good but less extreme example of this) The whole situation just shows that there was little communication between Hodgeson and Rio prior to his call-up, which is very worrying, imo. Also, as Rio wasn't in the squad (for whatever reason), why does it matter where he was or what he was doing? It's a bit like slagging off Michael Owen for making television appearances and asking him to go home and work on his fitness instead. What's he expected to do, sit at home? Anyway, the whole situation has turned out rather convenient for Roy and has allowed most of his misgivings for the Montenegro match to go about almost unnoticed.

I don't think Rio himself has said that he thought the chanting itself was racist. It's Fare (the group) who seem to be claiming it and it doesn't sound like there's any merit to their claims. As for the Rio situation, both he and Hodgeson have mismanaged the whole thing. The entire situation can be traced back to Rio not being chosen for "footballing reasons" in the past whilst Captain Racist John Terry (lol) seemed to be Hodgeson's preference. It was pretty obvious that Rio wouldn't fancy playing for England again after that whole affair. As great as Rio has been for United this season, it's time that certain players stepped aside and allowed the youth to have a go at establishing themselves. Gerrard is included in that bracket too, imo. As is Terry and possibly Ashley Cole.

God, that Middle League is tighter than the anus of Graciano Velho. One loss could see you potentially drop into the relegation zone. One win could see you in the top 3. Madness. 6 games left. If we get 3 wins, I think that'll do it for us.

...It's a start. That video should be played before every DragEll derby.

Not bad. You need to use moar gifs and this video: Need to make moar songs bigging up your players and degrading the opposition, nomsayin'?

Good game, brah. The squad is definitely weaker as I sold about 5 experienced players and have 1 who is retiring (a goalie). I sold them with the intention of bringing in younger players to be bred into the team and to be the team for the future. It's noticeable in midfield. Trouble is, the players in question weren't going to get much better, whereas I've got a 20 6 in there who has a training cone, so potentially he could be even better than them. I really should be looking at relegation with this squad as it's not massively strong. But, I'll be competing and reaping the rewards in a few years time. It's the waiting game. Thankfully, the DVs are awesome this season. Going to be a great report for me, possibly best ever.

Felt a lot better today and had my pull day. Tired now. Determined to make the biceps grow as I feel they are holding me back, slightly. Going to work hard over the next few weekssss.

I've rung up the HMV in Bournemouth and Southampton. Bournemouth only had the Wii U basic package and were selling it off for £179. Southampton also had the basic package, except it was priced at £249. Great deals. NOOOOOOT! (I made myself laugh there)

No weights yesterday as I didn't get in from work til half 9 and was knackered. No weights today because I feel light-headed, ill, shit and meh. Pray for tomorrow!

Good luck, @Blade. It will turn out ok, hopefully. I'm feeling ill and cold and shit. Fucking shitty British Weather. This is March. The end of March. Why does it feel like December?! So pissed off and tired of this. Was freezing all day in work. Wore a coat, a scarf, shirt and a t-shirt under my shirt all day and was still freezing. Meh. Fuck this shit.
