I'm quite enjoying it, can see myself easily drowning in information and options if I try and go too quickly, taking it slowly at the moment

Looks good. You will never be able to start up a computer without a SSD and not feel like slowly dying again.

yeah, having your computer boot up within 15 seconds, and have 10 different programs launch at startup and become fully usable the instant the OS gets to the desktop is godlike. Can never go back to having an OS on a regular HDD.

Still think Lamela is unlikely, sadly.

Interesting. Erik Lamela's gf Sofia Herrero tweeted "What a grand farce..." just before he ran out for Roma's presentation. #THFC #Roma

This is not PR. I've just legit ordered some clothes from the brand my GF works for. Pretty decent reductions, I spent £85 on selvedge denim jeans and blazer saving £175.

Yes, I have to buy it. No I can't get it for free. Yes you can buy it too.

Needs to grow the blonde locks back. :(

That's Fort McHenry there in the middle. It's about a mile away.

NBC even aired this photo before kickoff on Sunday morning.

lol, that's being kind.

It's a shame because the past has proven that he's not a bad manager, but clearly something has gone wrong.

Saying that, lets go Fenerbache!

In the sky interview he was talking about the impact of financial fair play on his transfers, he also said there isnt as much money as people think.

"SI's biggest claim to fame is that it was us who first found out about Lionel Messi," Jacobson says. "He was playing for Barcelona B at the time and Alex McLeish tells a story of when, during his time as Rangers manager, his son came up to him and said he should sign this amazing young forward called Messi who he'd come across on Football Manager. McLeish said he'd never heard of him and forgot about the whole thing. The rest is history."

Why am I not surprised.
 
weak man i am. caved in after Sporting B killed my original bet. fuck it.

went:

Such a farce. A team like Arsenal will get at least £80m from the TV rights for the EPL alone if every club isn't spending the additional £30-40m they're getting compared to last year, then they're getting left behind. That doesn't even account for the new kit deal they got.

He's full of shit.
 
How much will that computer cost you Hitcher?

All in.

Future-proofing is the name of my game, so £950 for the base and whatever else for the peripherals. Gonna try and skimp on the keyboard, download a driver to use the useless PSEye as a webcam (most probably won't even need a webcam), nick a HDMI cable from the garage etc

Staggering the purchases over a couple of months as well to make it a bit easier on the bank balance. Can't pretend that I'm not terrified of the entire thing blowing up first time I switch it on

Does anyone think Torres or Ba will be at/be getting a game for Chelsea in 2 weeks time?

I think they will. And I think so will Rooney after Roman sanctions the massive bid it's going to take to land him.

Who would want either of them right now anyway?

So let's say £1100. How long do you think it'll last you, without touching it and upgrading bits?

My brother built a PC of similar value a couple years ago and it's a beast.
 
Meireles is a boss

@Arnie, fuck knows. Puts me in a position of hoping that PC improvements remain incremental so I can keep up affordably, or can leave the minor upgrades and modify as necessary. If somthing revoolutionary comes out, I might be fucked :p

Elmander joins Norwich on a season long loan. Good to see depth now being added to the squad. He was top quality for Bolton in a lot of games. Him and Wolfie will be a strong forward line should they play together.

A Norwich fan appears! Get him on the list.. even Northampton Town has two fans!

Rosicky really isn't top 4 of the premier league quality.

I actually think he's still pretty solid. Arsenal could probably do better but that would require, *gasp*, spending money. He can still show some moments of brilliance in attack.

That all depends on the loss Chelsea are willing to accept. I'd happily take Torres back for around £10 million for example, if Chelsea were prepared to subsidize his wages with a payoff of a couple of million.

The alternative is just to let the clock run down on their contracts. Ba will be on a fairly lengthy deal I would imagine, having only signed in Jan. Torres still has a couple of years left too, right? Tough either way.

I don't have cable at all. I have Comcunts for internet and rabbit ears for that HD network TV.
Try using your Comcrap user name and password. WatchESPN doesn't support DirecTV but I was able to find a work-around by using my ATT internet username and password (and it's not even U-Verse). You don't lose anything by trying.

good enough. the news i saw had no value attached to the bid. how much you asking for him?

Last I heard he was 'not for sale' because Cunte loves* him.

Okay, we get it Conte, but the boy needs proper playing time to develop...
