Not seen it. Will probably watch it for Isaacs during peak-Star Wars hype.

This Australia stuff is awful. Can't just browse Twitter before bed nowadays, always some shit going down. Makes it really hard to drift off and dream of life as a fish when you know a bunch of decent humans are currently on the edge of life.

Might move over to Instagram. ISIS aren't launching any fucking attacks on that, are they. Unless they recruit Tuna the dog.

I read a special report on torture with my tea, in the Observer.

I enjoyed a side order of learned helplessness and extraordinary rendition with my spaghetti.

Levels me out after Lovren.
Did Rodgers really say that Liverpool would have won if United didn't have a keeper

Hahahahahaha
No, that was a fake account.

Hahahahahahaha

Like, I actually know so very little about the world because when I read about shit like that it angers me and upsets me to the point where I don't wanna read or watch it anymore.

I know loads on the Holocaust because its already happened. I feel awful when I see pictures of the victims, but there's nothing to be done to save those lives anymore. When there's footage every day from Palestine of car bombs and cops shooting black guys in America... i'm far less learned on the subjects than I'd like to be, but it really riles me up trying to follow it all.

That sounds really pampered first world problems, which is unfortunate :/

Who is on the market insofar as wingers go? People in here dont seem to rate Shaqiri, or so far as ive seen.

The Ben Arfa story been mentioned? Steve Bruce doesn't actually know where he is and hasn't seen him for a few days. Thinks he may have left England for Paris. Says HbA has no future at Hull anyway.

Depay and Cuadrado would be top of my list in terms of potentially feasible+talent

Didnt we try to sign Cuadrado? Also heard some rumours about Depay in the summer but people were lukewarm.

Tbh I know nothing about either

Everybody is on the market. Just got to hand over the cash :p

United don't need wingers yet. Gal needs to prioritise his targets and go for defenders. Then get a striker if Falcon doesn't sign on.

Reus will probably leave. Cuadrado maybe.

Hiiiixxxxx!
 
Ben Arfa, what a fucking waste. We should have got shot of him a couple of seasons ago.

I asked for it. Multiple times.

Got slated by my mates for it, they couldn't see past his few special moments, they thought he really was magic. I knew he was just a magician, a magician that lived alone, ate rustlers burgers exclusively and masturbated into his hat while poking his wand up his arse.

tenth in a scrub league is no way for him to live

True that. Reckon he'd do well in the PL.

He will be lucky to have a Liverpool career if he doesn't shape up his performances. He has until the end of the season to sort himself out or I can't see him staying at Liverpool but Liverpool totally screwed up. £45m for Lovern and Lallana is not good business for Liverpool.

The window screw up is why i think Rodgers is in trouble. He spent a lot of money to build a team and now he has to deliver on the pitch.

Lambert, Balotelli, Allen, Can, Moreno, Mignolet, Borini, Assaidi, Markovic. Coutinho is a mix of good and bad.

The list goes on.

Reading this article about MS astroturfing, and the part that sticks out to me is that they actually tried to get renowned bloggers to use the hashtag #IEbloggers.

What kind of clueless morons think that people who have a huge readership are going to actually use some corporate dick sucking hashtag?

I use IE and like it a lot. But MS needs to rethink how they brand themselves. They're like a chubby uncle who bleaches his hair, 10 years after bleaching your hair was cool.

It's amazing. If you haven't seen Bob's Burgers, then get on that as well. My two favorite comedies.

I don't know why I can't get into Bob's Burgers.... It might be because I'm expecting Archer from the voice, but it's not just that.
