Pretty much, but not all of us!
Nice dude. I just became a licensed attorney earlier this week. It does indeed feel weird.
The latest two Ep. are the ones I have yet to watch. Yeah, waiting sucks that why I am saviouring the last 3 episode after we break up for the holidays.
Its building up slowly but damn is Neferpitou a scare enemy to have with her aura being so great. I am really excited for Gon to take her on. I reckon Gon will learn a lot from fighting that enormous power.
The king is developing emotions, but its built up in a very contrived way, but again this is a shonen show, so...
We were lucky to have Dragon Ball Z, (best) Pokemon, Dexter's Labarotary and more.
Watching Wolverine and have to say it's slightly less shittier.

Assuming you're doing fine currently, which it sounds like you are, you'll probably be fine. The step up isn't really that big, at least I didn't feel it was. Also, I think being a bit older, having some experience of the world and hopefully being a bit more mature and not so easily distracted by drink and fanny certainly helps in terms of getting your head down and doing the work.
aye, we were lucky when we were growing up. I still can't bellieve they missed out on the Pokemon craze. I told them I actually felt bad for them Lol
Don't forget Biker Mice from March and Mask. Thundercats also aired during that time. Damn those were the days!
Agreed. Pacific Rim's forced drama was some of the shittiest viewing I have experienced this year. I honestly don't know why people on GAF really like that movie.
Haven't watched Wolverine but the premise sounds dumb, going to Japan with some badly promised relationship over there was just ...
I'm watching Ibrahimovic compilations.
He's never played for Arsenal and never will but the goals he scores are from a different planet. I wants it.
As long as I get the coursework in for this week, I'll be fine. Lots of work over the coming days and I'll be fine... hopefully

'Grats Frank!
So it looks like we're signing Iniesta and Koke. I knew Moyes would come through.

What was this perfectly legitimate goal? When Bendtner was at least half a body offside? Or when Giroud was a step offside and then collected as the whistle blew and turned and shot after everyone had stopped playing (which should have been a yellow mind you)? Keep dreaming.
Its not their fault that we are awesome.
Incredibly sad, but they're saying that he mentioned it himself and that it happened 2 weeks ago. He's played since, so doubt that would keep him out of the game tomorrow.
That said, he likely won't play because AVB is a strange little man.
The amount I wish we had a player like King playing for us, or at least Vertonghen back in the middle. The way King dealt with tricky players by being incredibly well positioned and smart instead of outrageously quick (Walker) or a blood and guts style defender (Dawson) is exactly what I'd want for a defender, especially against Suarez. I don't think we would have lost 6-0 or anywhere near against City with him at the back.
I mean, just look at him absolutely handle Liverpool a few years back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RryeJ5KzfIk
I've loved the character development over the past few episodes. Felt it slowed down a little midway theough the arc, but introducing Kogumi and the King's storyline has been awsome. One of my favourite moments of this arc is the scene where the dude with the glasses breaks down after seeing the royal Guards aura.
This series is probably the best at making you like the villains. I want to see Hisoka again!

Just watched Class of 92.
Loved it, well made. Really funny, some great stories.
Fuck, what happened with that team was incredible. So lucky to have seen them win it all.

Aye, the character development in the series blows the water out of many of so called ''Mature'' Anime, every character is so human and believable that you can actually understand where that person is coming from, even the villains.
The story progression have been slow, yes, but its more tactical now, no one can afford to make any mistake and attack the enemy. so there is a lot of high tense moments that actually contribute to the larger scale of the danger that surrounds that worlds.
and the minions also have their own little version to add to the while thing. The Tiger dude is fairly interesting enemy to have, that is for sure. This Anime is bloody amazing, sucks to see it not finished...
Have you watched a classic called 12 Kingdoms? I am almost at the end and I have to say that I really have enjoyed its epic tale of Chinese version of the Lords of the Rings

Giggs is a great storyteller.

Yeah, I have lost interest in the Xmen fiction and this certainly does not interest me in the slightest especially with its premise, even if the movie was alright.
Its incredible how little I care of Super Heroes movies. The Amazing Spiderman 2 is the only one I am looking forward to.

Giggs always surprises me when I hear him speak.
I expect him to be monotone and understated but he's the complete opposite. Maybe it's cos I don't remember the days before Fergie tied him down (lol).
Really want a proper academy player to come through now
They're West Brom. You can't expect much more than 10th and they're only 4 points off that. They only bought 1 player this summer and 2 of their loanees have been injured and another guy they got on a free almost retired. I think you can blame him for a shit transfer window, but it's not like they're willing to spend (for whatever reason).
Iniesta a Moyes Boy ? *smiles*

I was talking about this a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure if we'll see those types of talents any time soon. The 90 minute rule meant it would be a lot harder to replicate those types of players. Fergie realized it and put more resources into acquiring 16 year old foreign talents. That is why we had Rossi, Pique, Januzaj, Pogba, Da Silva twins, etc... Those types of talents are in the Giggs and Scholes bracket. As we all know, the 90 minute rule was done away with 2 seasons ago. Time will tell which direction the club will go in regards to youth.

The Iniesta link is bizarre.
A couple of months ago a certain MUFC fanzine reported that Iniesta's agent has been telling some journos that he wants a solid renewal on Iniesta's new Barca contract and that he wants to put pressure on Barca by linking him to other clubs, one of which would be United.
Thought it was hilarious at the time but seems like that might be what's happening.
And I bet Wooders and Moyes are fooling themselves into thinking they've got a shot.

There's certainly nobody there right now.
Have you been watching the u21s and academy at all. I've seen like 2 games this year
Will be interesting to see what Moyes decides to do with the youth set up.

I haven't really watched the Liverpool youths since the Sterling, Suso, Wisdom etc era, but Jordan Rossiter is a future GOAT
Not seen 12 kingdoms. Will have a look at it.Aye, the character development in the series blows the water out of many of so called ''Mature'' Anime, every character is so human and believable that you can actually understand where that person is coming from, even the villains.

United were set to have a bad season as soon as Moyes decided to let Bebe go.

Yeah. You don't really have to watch the matches anymore. Corrigan uploads a player's performance after every game.
http://www.youtube.com/user/99corrigan1/videos
Pereira: Been playing as the number 10. Is really disappointing. He has solid performances, but on the whole rarely impacts a match in that role like Januzaj used to. I think he's much better deeper, but the coaches keep playing him in the number 10 role. I still have high hopes for him.
Pearson: Probably the most consistent player for the u19s. He can distribute and will battle, but is too reckless at times while defending and attacking. Not as impressive as Pogba. Hasn't got much playing for the u21s, but will start to.
Wilson: Has still scored, but less frequently than before. Has been more of a workhorse in the striker position as the team has been struggling to create anything. Just started playing with the u21s.
Janko: Guy is a tank at rb. He's already starting to play with the reserves, but has to play as a winger to make room for Varela. Has great pace and has immense potential. He needs to get better at working with the winger when doing 1-2s. I think he also needs to be tested more at reserve level, because his physical maturity could be making things too easy for him to the point that he might not develop his game intelligence. If he can develop how to better use his winger to make runs and release a through ball, we'll have an excellent player.
Goss: A carrick clone. He's shown that he can shoot from outside (not as good as Pogba) as well. He hasn't had a chance to play in midfield for the u19s as Pearson and Rothwell play there. He played at lb more often than midfield, but was mostly benched. I think he can be a late blossom.
Harrop: Consistent. English winger who can be a solid squad member in the future.
I think Janko has the best chance at making a first team debut.
Your buying ability might be more limited if you don't qualify for CL though, so January investment makes sense to ensure that that doesn't happen. Although, United would probably still be a relatively attractive prospect in the Summer regardless.
Does it say anything about selling players in January?
Moyes says they'd be willing to sell certain players if the right bid came in. I'm assuming he means lads like Young and Anderson. No way we'll entertain bids for any first team regulars. Maybe Evra but that's it.
Iniesta wants to get something like 15m a year. Can't see a scenario where United stump the cash up for that salary, especially if they're about to offer Rooney a 4 year deal worth £50m. Definitely just agent/paper talk. Koke seems possible although he'd honestly be leaving a team that is in a better position right now if he did leave.
12 Kingdoms is one of my favorite anime. Really fantastic on every level.. the art is flawless.

Koke is definitely possible, but not in January. He'll have to be bought in the summer. Atletico will offer CL football this year, which United can't as he's cup tied. Atletico is in a much better position to win the league and the CL this year. A title challenge from a club other than Real and Barca is rare. A chance to do it with his home club is something he probably values highly as well. Finally, he has a better chance at playing in the world cup should he excel in the league and CL with Atletico.
On the other hand, United can offer higher wages and more popularity. Atletico is also in financial trouble I think. It's more doable in the summer, but it's also more risky as a whole host of clubs will be lining up Koke in the summer too.

Ravel just glides across the pitch.

Aye. Death Note is alright. It did something that wasn't done before, but as a result, taken itself seriously to a point of incredulous. The cat and mouse chase become so absurd that it totally destroyed any credibility it had.
Thee are certainly much better experience to have in the medium.
If you liked that level of Psychology (which wasn't much by the end of the day) You should check out Kaiji. A gamblers life told in a tense and impeccable way. Bloody amazing!
Lol
Oh come on, don't put yourself as low as that. You can certainly be more entertained.
Its certainly worth your time. If you enjiy the type of fantasy the Lord of The rings have to offer in terms of adventure and scope in a completely different setting, then totally go for it.
The worse thing about it is that there are 5 different chapters in the series and I would have loved one continues story from start to finish, but the stories that is told are quite fantastic by their own right.
Eh... not quite. It definitely lost steam by the time it reached the end and the whole series became uglier as a result. Although, the Background art remeined amazing throughout, but technically, it usually suffered from what those kind of lengthy Animes usually suffer from and that is losing the production value over time to a point it just becomes bad, but to a point that it doesn't destroy the charm of it.
The monster design was fantastic throughout though aa well as the costume art for each character. They actually created an interesting and believable universe.
Hope you can beat Liverpool in your game but at the very least don't lose the match. Please.
Why wouldn't you want a draw? Both teams are about as likely as the other to challenge for the title (which is to say, not likely)

First time in a while I'm not optimisic about this fixture. We can definitely hurt them with our pace out wide and should be able to control the middle of the pitch, but we just don't have the defenders available to deal with Suarez adequately.
I have visions of free kicks, multiple free kicks, outside your box - won by craftily not contesting headers with Dawson.
No idea how United line up.
As explained by Milan's very own director Umberto Gandini
The market pool for Italian clubs in the CL is 80m this year
50% is distributed according to the rankings of the teams in Serie A in the previous year:
-Juve get 50% (20m)
-Napoli 35% (14m)
-Milan 15% (6m)
The remaining 50% is disturbed according to the amount of games played in Europe:
-Milan 16m (% will increase if they go even further)
-Juve 12m
-Napoli 12m
(Milan 8/20 games, Juve 6/20, Napoli 6/20)
So in the end:
-Juve 32m (without EL)
-Napoli 26m
-Milan 22m
So basically we're only missing out on approximately 5m. Guess we don't have to sell Vidal and Pogba after all! -_-
