I dunno man, they're doing pretty well in the league at the moment. Feel like Everton have dipped lately too.

Thanks.Oh, ok - I don't really keep track of the thread, but next time use the Dortmund sign to call us

Uh, it was awesome. Breath of fresh air, etc. etc. even though we narrowly missed the EL spots because Hamburg overtook us on the last fixture (fuckers) - still better than the near relegation the season before, lol
He brought along Subotic, which was a huge deal because of how expensive he was (kind of similar to Rogers -> Allen) at the time for us.
Other than that he didn't change the system all that much and most of his other transfers turned out to be interim solutions, but then I'm also not sure who was mainly responsible for those transfers.
Do you like, want me to encourage you to stand by Rogers and hope for better times? Because I dunno, lol - though you could definitely see some differences in terms of how we played, the philosophy and all - but yeah, he definitely needed some time to put forward his idea of football.

I'll try and search for some writing from around the time, sounds like a steady improvement, especially considering where you were before he arrived. Not really connected to Rodgers, to be honest, I knew you'd improved points wise, we've gone nowhere in that regard. New system, new manager, some positives, some negatives.
No.

Nice! Post pics pleasekharma, I built my PC
It's obvious you want Torres in the Citeh squad.
I hear you can smell your own eyes burning.
Well, Ferguson is out of the game in a year or two. Pards is Toon-Manager-For-Life. So even if his comments amount to some kind of appallingly unethical threat (which they don't), what does it matter ? Pards probably doesn't care. Howard Dean evidently didn't break down in heaving fits of terror and spite before writing his report. But an army of floridly over-sensitive goobers, roundly prejudiced against United, get themselves wound up on their behalf.
Although it's plain as fuck that even when Frogie retires, muppets are still going to wet themselves about his horrible malign influence over everything and everyone. It's hard to care even a tiny bit about objections to his conduct without much basis in observation of reality.
Even when Frogie does nothing, fuckwits go crazy attributing other people's actions to his Sith interference. Fuck the lot of them.
Ah, good news.

If he signed on Jan 1st I'd be straight down to buy my jersey.

Is it true Liverpool haven't beaten a single team in the top 10? That's not great.
Going to the United game tmrw. Kagawa plz.

I've been doing some intensive reading on people's experiences and this is mentioned nearly every time :lol. It really wouldn't bother me if it meant I wouldn't have to wear glasses for the foreseeable future. I'd pay almost anything to be honest.

I should get some pics actually.
It's fucking amazing though, I don't think I can go back. 1080P 60FPS or bust.
4-3-2-1. Defending. Ba is my main goal scorer he is a beast in that game for me.
Have 2 squads. 1 full of la Liga players and 1 EPL players.

I don't think I could ever have laser eye surgery, because I've been so used to my glasses and have been wearing them for all my life really. Also I'm scared of the laser killing me/making me permanently blind :lol
Tie down Cazorla and u are set.Tomorrow is going to be shit isn't it? Arsenal are going to be super fresh.
Like that will make a differenceTomorrow is going to be shit isn't it? Arsenal are going to be super fresh.
It's difficult to put in words how much I hate glasses, but it's pretty much everything. I hate how I look, I hate the cost, I hate not being able to swim or play Football etc. I mean, I could be here all day. I can't deny that the risks scare me, but it will be worth it. It will be a couple of months done the line anyway because I need to save whatever number they quote me.

They might play Ramsey :lol
My Newcastle squad in FIFA:
Krul
Debuchy
Taylor
Coloccini
Santon
Anita
Tiote
Cabaye
Ben Arfa
Cisse
Remy
Top of the table.

Also got Moussa Sissoko on the bench. If I turn a 14m budget and sales of Ba/Gosling/Xisco in to the above team (and Sissoko), why can't Mike Ashley?
Why do I do this to myself. Where's that gif of the guy crying but still eating a burger? Sums me up when I play FIFA with Newcastle. Wee club indeed.

You know the specs, you pretty much told me what to get haha!
Build went fine, a couple of niggly parts that were only awkward because I hadn't done it before. Hit no real snags though, booted perfectly first time! Fired up Sleeping Dogs today and holy shit, it looks incredible.
I'll have to go back to my PMs then lol no changes from what I said then?

Swapped out the initial RAM with the better Samsung stuff you suggested, apart from that though there was little to no difference. Decided against an optical drive in the end.
So your logic is that Ferguson can do and say what the fuck he wants because there's an assumption that he'll retire within the next 48 months?
Seems fairly illogical to me.
Dean sent Wenger to the stands for kicking a water bottle, whilst he made no move to reprimand Ferguson over what amounted to a public dressing down of him and his fellow officials.
And before you get on the hypocritical hill from which you cast down your goober judgements, note that criticism of Ferguson in this instance, and past instances, isn't isolated to Liverpool fans, it's a fairly unanimous belief that Ferguson can and does make comments that other managers don't, and can't for fear of punishment. Whoever hosted 909 on Wednesday was asked this very question, and suggested that Ferguson was wrong to have done what he did.
From my point of view you'd have to be a goober to disagree with this.
This section of your post contains little meat with which to address in a reply, considering what I've already said. It's also crushingly ironic.

For the football, when I played a long time ago there was a kid on our team that wore these:
I'll admit at the time they looked pretty hilarious. Actually I'm laughing now just thinking about it. Seeing this kid charging around the pitch with those on, you can probably imagine what his nickname was. Anyway, maybe you should look into getting a pair if the glasses are stopping you from playing football.

Yeah post them, my PMs are a mess for finding it
The Samsung stuff is great RAM, OCs like a dream too if you want to do it.
Optical drive you can always add later if you really miss it but I can't think of the last time I used one. Digital only really on PC now for games, plus USB install for Windows is handier and faster.
As laughable as they look, I honestly probably would wear something like that. Anytime the ball goes anywhere near my head I almost duck out of the way to make sure it doesn't go anywhere near my glasses.For the football, when I played a long time ago there was a kid on our team that wore these:

Contacts are incredibly uncomfortable and difficult to put in, not to mention expensive as well. It would honestly save me money in the long run.

So yeah the only things I changed were the RAM, the case and drooping the OD. Managed to clean install Windows 8 despite only paying for the upgrade rather than the OEM version, had a job activating it but all it took in the end was a couple of lines in Command Prompt!

Sweet. I've really grown to like the look of that case too, does it light up all purple like in the pics?
Now you need to look into OCing your i5 and your 7950
and maybe your RAM too more speed!ATI video card? No SSD? No liquid cooling?
you goofed.
*AMD.
They're the best bang for buck and offer the best future proofing for all that it means. SSD wouldn't have been possible without dropping the spec of something else, easy enough to sort later on.
Or, if you're going try, make a lick of sense.

Yeah you should definitely consider it then. As we've discovered recently, the ball hitting you in the head is dangerous enough as it is.
Seriously though, you'd be able to play with a lot more freedom with those on. And you'd also look like that guy in Dodgeball, so added potential for a cool nickname.
Would rather Ramsey than Gervinho. Ramsey has the talent at least but really needs to be played through the middle. None of this wing shit.
I hope Giroud starts with Walcott on the wing.
It gets easier.
I used to have to get up 30mins early before school to put them in.
Now it takes 5 seconds.
My assumption is that any manager can do what the fuck they want, really, and their punishment is the prerogative of the FA. If you're really, really morally sickened by a few tame jabs at Newcastle, then you're a bit beyond help.
Perhaps Ferguson directly discussed the incident and didn't slag Dean off, and Dean took this into account. It was unusual for Frogie to talk to Dean on the pitch, but at least he didn't shove him, hey ?
I wouldn't suggest that criticism is isolated to Liverpool fans. And punishment is, categorically, the prerogative of the FA. And Frogie's comments in the post-match interview were actually pretty restrained, focused, and not very pejorative at all about Dean or the other officials. He didn't talk about Specsavers, for which Harry can rightly expect a reprimand.
And I understand that this refers us towards the idea that the FA is Frogie's creature. Which is just about as absurd as the equally popular idea that the press are Frogie's to control. Both institutions piss all over Frogie from time to time but it does nothing to alter this iron conviction that they are under his power.
Yeah, at least I'd be noticed! It's been a while since I've played Football and I'm dying to get get back in to it, and not just because I'm getting a bit of a gut at the moment.
Every time Ramsey starts on the wing an Angel dies.
You should have seen my trying to put them in for the first time. I felt the seasons going past.

I'm afraid running both After Effects and Photoshop at the same time might set my pc on fireI tried upgrading my Vertex 2 SSD firmware but it's completely fucked. Going to buy a Samsung SSD as Photoshop takes 90 years to process gifs.
Believe me i remember. It gets easy though. Main reason i got them in the first place was for sport. Plus i look 100x better without glasses. Well worth it.
