I liked it, but I thought Casino Royale was better.

My feelings exactly, Casino Royale was the best Bond in a long time. (I know that my love for QoS stems from my Bourne fetish). It's not like Skyfall is a bad movie by any means but
it lacks personality, the story is a mess and i hate bad buys with overly complex plans

Yeah Skyfall was pretty meh. Really great first half, complete collapse in the second half. Bardem criminally misused. Some ridiculously eye-roll worthy plot shit. Themes and character development that was built up only to be completely dropped for the rest of the movie. I had a good time, but... meh.

I had the feeling Bond spend most of his time standing around and looking tough. It's like he had no meaningful dialogue at all.

Josh McEachran.. loanee from Chelsea. Fallen down their pecking order especially after all the star purchases. Buy him in FIFA or FM. :p

Wow that's Josh McEachran?! Crazy run, I remember when people super hyped him up.

Is he good on FM 2013?

Lansdowne Road. The Irish rugby team only used Croker whilst Lansdowne Road was being redeveloped.

It would be a gorgeous stadium if it weren't for the south stand.

Whilst aesthetically unpleasing, the south stand is perfect for an away supporters section, and It gives the stadium a bit of character. Having an identical design to the rest of the ground would make it just another soulless modern stadium bowl.

Here's hoping someday, years from now, when the drain on finances that is the 'Aviva' have been sorted, the FAI get their shit together and redevelop Dalymount park and use that in tandem with renting out Croke park for the BIG games (FYI to foreigners and rugger buggers, Dalymount is the spiritual home of the Irish national team ).

I actually dunno. British players are way too expensive for me to buy.. they always want huge wages and especially high per match bonuses. :(

Too late in the night for me to start ruffling feathers, maybe tomorrow, but only after I've finished sitting on my barstool watching Villa beat Irelands most popular club team.

Interesting stuff.

- Ciaran Clark made 30 interceptions in Aston Villa’s 1-0 win at Sunderland last weekend, the most by a player in a single game all season according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index.

- Ashley Westwood also displayed a fantastic work rate in covering 7.1 miles in the game, the most by a Villa player in a single game this season.

- Mathew Lowton and Ron Viaar have been stand-out performers lately and will need to be at their best to contain United. They have won 22 and 20 tackles respectively, compared to Stoke’s Robert Huth who has made 16, and Manchester City’s Vincent Kompany, who has made 15.

Some stuff about other teams here as well.

48 kills in that last match :lol

Nice playing with you man, sorry I was so quiet, absolutely knackered!
And because I'm talking funny because of my tongue :( I couldn't even say Ragnarok

I felt you didn't do enough to win. That was a fun few games. Shame Starfleets mic was fucking up at the end.

Rag-NA-rok

Oh and my mic was muted for a good 25 mins and I didn't know :( was talking to myself

What to do on my weekend:

Watch all of 'Suits' or study to my upcoming tests?

If you tell me to play Fifa, I'll murder you.

Not sure which one is worse. :p

i1DrjXohuDJhv.gif


Studying, I suppose. Although, I really want to do well on these tests.

I've watched 3 episodes of Suits so far, I kind of liked it very much already. All I know is that the show gets much better! :D

I'm moving, to a house without the football on.

And I don't even know if I'll be able to stream. Dark times.

You can always follow the matches through footy-GAF! Although you'll learn more about which players are bigger cunts than the others, than the actual score.

Oui. I can't be depending on

a) you likeable but untrustworthy pricks
b) Sunhi gifs

Wait so literally GAF might become your primary source of updates during games?

I sense the opportunity for many an amusing jest.

Oh that looks like a nasty RVP knee injury!
 
I'm fucked. 5.50 and I can't get any sleep. 've got the flu, but that's nothing compared to the migraines I'm experiencing. Never felt pain like tiss in my life, I jst had 2 migranes an hour apart which lasted 2 hours and one for 4 hours. I couldn't move I was in so much pain, like someone was bashing in one side of my brain, tears were literaly poring out my eyes.My head as finally calmed down, but I still fucking hurts. I know for sure I'll miss the weekend games and the nfl games on sunday. fuck me, my uncle used to get them all the time, never fucking thought i would get them.

I get migraines from time to time. This ALWAYS makes it go away though.

Remembering Robert Enke - the three year anniversary of his passing.
http://bundesligafanatic.com/video-remembering-robert-enke/

The Hannover and Germany keeper committed suicide on November 10th 2009, leaving a massive hole in the heart of those who loved him, both family and friends as well as the football community.

The news of Enke’s depature sent shockwaves through the German football world and united the German public in a sobering manner. The national team cancelled a planned friendly against Chile after the team had spoken to the DFB officials. Team manager Oliver Bierhoff had trouble holding back his tears when he had to explain the decision to the German media.

35,000 people gathered in and around the Marktkirche in Hannover as the city said good bye to one of its greatest footballers. Germany’s first match after Enke’s death ended in a 2-2 draw agains Côte d’Ivoire, giving the fans of the national team the chance to say farewell.

:( shit

^^I remember that Elsk, was a tragic story to read about. :(

He was sad about the death of his daughter if I remember correctly.

You are thinking too hard about what your next legendary gif will be :p

Nah, drink heaps of water, paracetamol helps too. Stay away from TV/Computer screens, or so I've heard lol.

Not much else advice but hope you get better. :)

Sorry to hear. One certain week in mid 2008 was the worst week of my life. The migraines were coming thick and fast and I have been having them since 2000. It has calmed down alot but its constantly there, just not as painful. Don't worry though, when you get the last episode it will knock you out and you will get some needed rest. As someone who has suffered migraine for the longest time I know exactly how you feel.

:( shit

Not trying to sound cold but I have no respect for anyone who commits suicide. In my opinion, I see that as a selfish act. I myself have gone through depression and times where I didn't want to live anymore but the thought of committing suicide and leaving my loved ones hurt is something that never crossed my mind.

You having gone through depression doesn't make you any expert or able to judge everyone going through one. Calling them selfish is disrespectful and pretty ignorant, even if for an outsider looking at the situation it seems like a selfish and shitty thing to do, especially in front of a train where you also risk damaging other people. Another user wrote a great post :

It's selfish if you're lucid and fully aware of yourself and your surroundings. People who kill themselves often aren't.

They call depression a "chemical imbalance" because that's what it is. It isn't something you make up for yourself or something you can control. Your brain is physically fucked up. You think the wrong things. You perceive everything differently than every normal person. Are people with brain damage and mental retardation selfish for not being able to control their deficiencies?

Think about it this way. Have you ever felt scared in bed at night, like there's a shadow that's moving that's scaring you, or you think something totally silly like your nightmare you just woke up from is real? Now imagine what an outside observer thinks. "lol look at this idiot, he's fucking afraid of dark shadows on his wall. Dude, it's just a reflection of a tree!" But you're fucking terrified. You're hearing sounds and you think it might be an intruder or even something as ridiculous as thinking there's a ghost, even if just for a few seconds. A person with depression lives like this all the fucking time. It's common to read about people who think there are people or things behind corners waiting to kill them. That's why they don't get out of bed all day. When they say life is a living nightmare all day every day, they're not being hyperbolic or dramatic. Their brain is fucking up their perception of the real world, and they see and feel things that we don't. They can't help it. They need help. They are not selfish.

Mmm. Projecting rational options onto the situation of irrational folks is kind of irretrievably wonky.

Matt Spiro ‏@mattspiro
Lloris asked to speak to AVB after being left out against Chelsea, received no new explanation regarding coach's stance, explains L'Equipe

48m Matt Spiro ‏@mattspiro
Hugo Lloris will consider leaving Tottenham in January if situation does not change before the Arsenal game on Nov 17, say L'Equipe today

49m Ben Lyttleton ‏@benlyt
L'Equipe moaning at #Lloris treatment by #THFC. Headline: 'This is not going to calm down...' Coupet: 'I would leave. It's untenable'

:lol :lol

Though I expect Lindegaard to be (and feel) too good to be #2 in the not-amazingly-distant future. I don't think he will overhaul DeGod, but he looks class. SAF's successor will probably pick one to run with.

Ahh, all those massive footballing days in City's massive history.

Didnt Goater score a brace at Old Trafford once too? I'm sure he did :(

Today Fergie told MUTV that Vidic would be back in the new year and he told the rest of the press he'd be back before Christmas easily.

Basically, we don't know. Vidic is done and our medical team has got a bout of the Arsenal's.

:lol I knew you'd fit massive in there somehow.

[/B]

It really does seem that way doesn't it? Vidic might be done and Rio is fading. It's the end of an era for United.

We'll need to bring in a quality replacement imo. We can't expect to win titles with Evans, Smalling and Jones as our CBs. I have high hopes for Smalling and Jones but they aren't ready to be our main men in defence.

But that gives us another question. How do you replace one of the best defensive partnerships of the last 10 years?

Vidic is quality. Shame to see him sidelined.

We .can sell you the next Vididc. NASTASIC! It will cost you though, £30m and we'll think about it.
