  1. I prefer Firmino's celebrations when someone else scores. He's usually doing something mad in the background.
  2. I want some away goals to open up the tie. We need it hectic, as we're still terrible at being calm and methodical in big games.
  3. I've always wondered why some uniforms have the American flag on backwards, as if it's a mirror image. Just seen it in the Olympics coverage. Anyone know why?
  4. See, I know it can be put on, but I like that kind of thing. Two scrotes walked past me the other day and nodded "Alright boss", and I thought "Too fucking right". I've also got a local shopkeeper who always calls me "brother", in his thick (I assume Turkish) accent, which is great. It seems people are often afraid to use terms of affection these days. I miss the days when every woman over a certain age called anyone she met "my love".
  5. He's worth £75m just to get Southampton relegated.
  6. I only stopped because the classes closed down. It was a bit of a rural one in the middle of nowhere, and it ended up with just me and the teacher, so he knocked it on the head. I've since moved to an area with more classes, and I keep meaning to get back into it, but they're a different type of Aikido to the one I did. I was learning Iwama, which uses weapons from the off to teach you the movements. I'd love to give Kendo a go, or perhaps even Iaido if there was ever any classes near me. I've got a Kali group up the road though, so I figured I'd give that a try, and if I don't get on with it I'll go back to Aikido.
  7. I did aikido for a couple of years, and it's worth trying. The good thing is there are different types of it, so some focus on weapons more, and others the whole energy thing. It's not built around sparring, so you shouldn't have any problems with people trying to prove a point, it's more centred around the relationship between the person performing the move and the one receiving it, you're supposed to work together. I found it all very polite and interesting, as the moves are broken down into parts, and you can see where the locks and pins come from, and at what stage the pressure is applied. Also, because it's not based around competitive sparring you shouldn't have a teacher who only deals with people looking to do competitions.
  8. Blokes who drop weights in the gym. If you can't lift it and put it down properly, don't lift it you noisy cunt.
  9. That's a cracking deal. I'd recommend Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, No More Heroes, Zack & Wiki: Quest For Barbaros' Treasure, Metroid Prime Trilogy, Okami and Zelda: Twilight Princess.
  10. Don't like sandwiches really, but I do like a sausage sarnie with a white bloomer, or if I'm feeling especially peckish I stick a fried egg in too and make an egg sausie sarnie.
  11. Han Solo without Harrison Ford just seems an odd sell. No one's going to be the same, so why bother? At some point, they're going to have to actually tell new stories with new characters and not keep relying on the same fan favourite cues to cashing in.
  12. It seems a fitting choice of drug for a horse-faced troll.
  13. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, he's a football romantic. We can complain about him rating his players too highly, seeking to coach them into something they're not, or having faith in those we see as having a longer yellow streak than the Sahara, but if he were any different he wouldn't have taken this job in a million years. If he were a regular manager, getting his knickers in a twist that his net spend was too low and using that as an excuse for poor performances, he'd have taken the Madrid job that was waiting for him. I may have doubts whether it's an approach that'll yield trophies, but I still find it refreshing.
  14. I bought some X-ray specs from the back of a comic. I was sure they must work in some way as they showed someone being able to see the bones in their hand. Sadly, I was mistaken, and I felt duped. Ruined my 30th birthday that did.
  15. It'll probably take me until October just to clear my backlog. Still got Horizon, Witcher 3 and Zelda BotW to go yet.
  16. Fair play, that's still longer than half the rabble on here lasted on RAWK.
  17. Bit surprised they let Lookman go on loan, he's always impressed me. They surely can't be relying on Walcott to stay fit?
  18. The Wailing South Korean mystery horror type thing on Netflix. Good atmosphere, well shot and an interesting set-up, but it's one of those films that aims to keep you guessing and as such manoeuvres towards a climax that - upon reflection - doesn't make much sense. Took the easy road for an ending in my view. 6/10
  19. It's no doubt been mentioned, but the phrase "man-flu". You get sweet FA in terms of sympathy these days when you've got a virus, all because someone decided that the presence of testicles on your body means you're swinging the lead. I'm dying here. In fact, add in all those ridiculous portmanteau words, like "mansplaining" and "manspreading" too.
