  1. In other news... capn, your boys really did a number on that guy in the toilets.

    Seriously though, that shit is disgusting. Pumped up brotein shake dick swinging cunts always ruin sports events.

     

    It was against another niners fan as well, horrible.

     

    Apparently the brother that was the main instigator has multiple felonies and has been in jail a lot.

  2. I know what you're saying about Hamilton but can you see Mercedes being happy going into next season with the same situation with their drivers?  They clearly don't get along and Mercedes will be expecting to be up there again next year but they can't expect the opposition to be as weak as this year.  Can they risk their drivers taking each other out and "letting them race"?

  3. I wouldn't be too surprised I was saying this to a friend a few weeks ago.  Mercedes can't have the risk next season of their drivers seriously not getting along and risking the cars and race results against each other.

     

    They also can't really get rid of Rosberg unless they had got Vettel because Mercedes really need a German driver (that's part of the reason they stuck with Schumi so long).

  4. I just caught up with this series.  Pretty good final episode in season 4.

     

    Felt the writers overplayed the implications of who/what the people in Terminus are.  Small grievance but it's set up the new season well I guess.

  5. I think they could have won a lot more convincingly if Fabregas, Shurrle and Oscar had had better games. Hazard was great and Costa did a lot well but was given much less to work with than usual. 

     

    Did anyone know about this? http://www.freightbooks.co.uk/exposed-at-the-back-by-arild-stavrum.html

     

    I remember him writing newspaper articles sometimes but had no idea he'd become a novelist.

     

    It's not really fair to say teams could have done better if x player played better IMO.  Arsenal could have won the game if Ozil had showed up and the defenders hadn't lost the plot for both goals.

     

    That book actually sounds like a good trashy holiday read from the blurb on that site!

  6. Yeah Ozil wide just doesn't work for Arsenal. It can be ok for Germany as they are so strong through the middle of defence/mid that it makes up for him going missing other than attacking.

    Thought first half it wad really even and we could also have had a pen. Chelsea much better second half as expected. Their squad is so much stronger overall. Will be really annoyed if we don't get a DM in Jan.

    We've had a lot of tough games in our opening at least so the points total isn't too worrying yet.

    Speaking of which Man Utd are through their initial easy schedule but they seem to be getting it together offensively at least. Will be good to see them play more of the upper tier teams.

  7. City had 10,000+ empty seats for their clash against Roma. They were giving away free tickets to all the schools in the catchment area around the Etihad, and they still couldn't fill the place. It was a pretty huge game that they really needed to win. Poor show.

     

    No idea what they're thinking extending the Etihad, when the place is never full.

     

    Yeah they have had really poor turnouts all through their champions league times.

     

    Their first game in the Champions league was against Dortmund wasn't it?  They had like 5-10k seats left for that as well.

     

    First Champions league game and it's against a great team.  Still don't sell out.

  8. Ah right, yeah I agree.  They made very poor choices for a number of years.  Mack they got this year looked good but he's on such a bad defence it doesn't matter.

     

    They always spend far too much money in free agency on older players.  The team is so bad now and for the last few years what they need to do is just spend average money on decent players.  Build the best parts of the team with better drafting.  If they do go big on a player it has to be a tackle or a D Lineman who is <27 years old.

  9. Nice to see Gauld and May in the squad.  Got to bring those guys along for the experience.  

     

    Stuart Armstrong must be nearing a full Scotland call up he's been playing pretty great for 12+ months now.  Captain of the under 21s as well.

  10. Dunno about the draft picks statement.  Raiders high end drafts have been flop central since about 2007 and the big mistake.

     

    The Pats game was excellent, I have a soft spot for the Chiefs they seem to have really awesome fans but not obnoxious like Seattle, Andy Reid is a dude and Alex Smith is my boy.  He played a really great game yesterday as well.

     

    Chiefs pass rush is scary and if your line is as bad as the Pats is right now, they had no hope.  Hali is a beast.

  11. After watching the Raiders/Dolphins game last night, there is no way in hell I want to throw my support behind Oakland.

     

    San Francisco game was fun though. Their QB looks incredibly indecisive with the ball in his hands, though. Is this because his team-mates weren't making the runs, the defence were snuffing them out effectively, or is he just a bit dopey?

     

    Slowly figuring the sport out. I've bought a book and everything! Watching some of the bigger plays come off is pretty exhilarating stuff.

     

    The SF QB?  The offensive line didn't give him much time so he ended up running for his life a large part of the game.  He looked better in the second half when we went back to running the ball.  SF's best offense comes off of the run, it opens up more spaces for Kap to throw the ball and also use his legs.  He's so fast for a QB that he can just eat up 20 yards before a linebacker can get near him.

     

    The Eagles looked really bad offensively as well for similar reasons, their line is so banged up right now.  Justin Smith is playing like a monster for SF right now though, he's really holding our defense together whilst we wait for Bowman and Aldon Smith to get back.

  12. When they showed it on match of the day the linesman was a good few yards behind the line to see it but it was the correct decision so it doesn't matter.

     

    I see what they're saying that he gambled on whether he actually was offside or not as he wasn't in line to see but he got it correct and that's all that matters in the end.

     

    Just another example of why a proper video review should be allowed in football.  Give them little challenge hankies like in the NFL.
