Not with the one that made contact. I do admit he raised his other hand though.

If you turn your back with your arms spread, you can't whinge when the ball hits one of them imo

I'm harsher than most with handballs though, and think that Allen's was also a handball against West Ham

I did! But honestly, I couldn't tell the difference.

No headache/eye strain I guess?

You couldn't tell the difference?! :|

WHAT?

WHY?

Fuck me, not orcs and giant spiders again?

The third film, There and Back Again, will focus on

Spoiler

Sauron's rise

most likely (I can't see it being in film 2) whereas Desolation of Smaug will be all about getting into Erebor and taking it back from Smaug.

Haven't seen that many 3D movies really and I have a bad eye for these things.

Whether it was in 3D or not the frame rate being doubled should've been immediately noticeable, where it would look, to just be basic, a lot smoother than any other film and make it look like the 100Hz post-processing some LCD TVs offer.

He is better than what you have.

I liked the 48 fps with the 3D. It really made the screen crystal clear throughout the film. I love how i post in the hobbit thread about how the 48 fps was really good blablabla. Then the next post was some JT that said the visuals in the film were bad.

It does cheapen some of them (like at the start of the film, really accentuates the fact that Bag End is a set), and highlights some of the poor CG in the film.

Whilst the visuals aren't by any means bad overall it could've done with less CG and more miniatures, as well as more real extras.

I will be seeing it in 24fps because my eyes are shit

Can you play CoD?

 

[Blablurn]

sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. this is a frustrating game. but well, it happens. i hope martinez is alright.

 

[kharma45]

I plan to see it again in 24p to see if it makes it a better film, I do feel that 48p did detract from my enjoyment of it. I got used to it after a while but I never enjoyed it.

 

[Freewheelin']

Yeah. That's 60fps right?

Manchester City announce annual losses of £97.9m for 2011-12

If you read the article, everything is very encouraging:

Manchester City have announced annual losses of £97.9m. Although the sum is still enormous, it is less than half the £197.5m from 12 months' ago.

And with City reporting turnover in the 2011-12 season of £231.1m, the highest in the club's history, it underlines the rapid progress being made by the Premier League champions in establishing themselves as one of Europe's elite clubs.

Although failure to progress from the Champions League group stage has had an obvious impact on turnover, this year and last, the club are still delighted with the performance.

And they are confident even the huge losses confirmed on Friday will not have an impact on their ability to meet Uefa's strict Financial Fair Play guidelines as £15m comes from infrastructure and youth development costs. More importantly, approximately £80m comes from contracts that pre-date 2010, from which City expect to get some kind of relief.

While the results show marginal increases in gate receipts and TV revenue, it is in the commercial sector where City are making huge gains. Revenue went up from £64.7m to £121.1m, underlining City's increased growing global exposure, which is being shown in all areas, from merchandise to club tours.

Did Sahin break his nose against West Ham btw? Very odd to be subbed for a bleeding nose

@FW, yeah, pretty consistent 60fps.How come you can handle that, but not 48fps film?

Sahin's a wimp. He'll never make it in the PL, he doesn't have the balls to step his game up.

 

[Linius]

lol this night

Every football game I'm following gets a crazy amount of goals. I have 3-2 / 3-3 / 2-3

 

[Vivalaraza]

Are those City results EBITDA?

Would like to see a breakdown to see where those savings were made. Impressive figures.

Anyhow, it only bares relevance under FFP. If FFP is regulated then City will be at a massive disadvantage to other clubs. I really don't see how they can offset that without signing more deals with related parties.

 

[The_Joker]

so neuer can't handle the pressure adler is bringing on him ?

Neuer trying too hard to play midfielder.

Yep.

Sahin's a wimp. He'll never make it in the PL, he doesn't have the balls to step his game up.

Eh, it's not as if Germany's any less physical.

For the record, I don't think he'll make it here either, but I think it's the pace more than anything. I'll give him time though, but it's definitely telling that I'd rather see Henderson playing than him (although Henderson's been brilliant this season).

 

[kharma45]

Yeah HFR for The Hobbit is only available for the 3D showings.

 

[derExperte]

i hope martinez is alright.

Could btw very well have been a penalty, the arm of the other guy was almost 100% extended when he hit Martinez in the face. Who now has trouble seeing straight according to the commentator. Aaaand not offside while still 0 shots on goal by Gladbach apart from the penalty. What is going on?

 

[Messi]

Fuck the world. Those poor kids.

Too early to make that sort of judgement. He's been here 3 months.

He does seem to be struggling with the pace but I don't think it's the a physical problem...I think he just expects and anticipates alot more time and space on the ball than you get in this league.

That seems like something which an obv. good player like Sahin can adapt to.

No doubting that he hasn't been anywhere near as good as expected but I think it's far too early to write him off.

 

[Yen]

Definitely wouldn't say he's a wimp, just struggling with the pace.

True, and I haven't given up all hope. It's just such a gap between everything I'd heard about him as a player, compared with how he's performed, multiplied by how well the rest of our midfield has performed thus far. When players like Shelvey and Henderson are struggling to start there, and considering they've been pretty great, it's going to take a proverbial mountain for Sahin to break in.

Saying that, he's proven quality, and if he does start to catch up with the pace of things then I'm sure he'll see more game time. Europa League and FA Cup will kick in soon, and then he'll get more games.

I thought any change on his face would be an improvement, I was wrong.

 

[Meier]

I don't even understand how one would do that with so little hair on their face. He's a funny guy -- I can't wait to see him in Europe. City are supposedly interested in Santos' keeper to further push Joe Hart. I guess they had a rather poor year and will probably need to make some wholesale changes. No clue the validity but I know a few sites were reporting it earlier this week.

 

[sazabirules]

Neymar is very talented but it is annoying that he goes to ground so often.
