  1. Thanks for the link but the blurb doesn't give all that much info, ie like they did here for "Interplay", what are the specific albums contained other than the Garland and the Dameron, for people like me too lazy to look them up. :tophat:
  2. Wow, an amazingly bad development for Chelski. Chelsea banned by Fifa from signing players till 2011 over Gaël Kakuta Could be a good thing in the long run though, for everybody else that is.
  3. I think you'll be getting the "Honey Monster". Richard Dunne is the Honey Monster; Seriously though he's a good player, I wish he was the Irish Captain rather than that tosser Robbie Keane.
  4. My Complete H.R.S. Sessions set arrived this morning, I only had a quick look through the booklet so far but it looks good. Nice to see pictures of someone working in a record shop wearing a suit and tie. :D
  5. Transfer deadline day has been a bit, well shit, hasn't it. No last minute biggies really. :w
  6. You're not joking about the skyrocketing, check it out, £179.39 + £1.21shipping. That's a good bit more than the €7 I paid for it.
  7. Great minds think a like and all that, only I didn't give mine away. :lol:
  8. It's taken me a long, long time to get this, but I am enjoying it in spite of my general indifference to Evans, although it's fair to say this one is almost as much about La Faro as Evans. Maybe it's hearing all of it one go in amazing sound quality has something to do with it as I had this one below and it didn't leave that much of an impression. The new liners on the Box Set are fairly shit, but no suprise there as it's Keepnews doing them.
  9. In the Milan derby technically they're both the home side as they share the same stadium but I know what you mean, but I hope that was a joke about Beckam. :g I only saw the highlights of the MU-Arsenal game and it looks like United got away with it a bit, slightly dodgy penalty and an own goal. Watched Bolton v Liverpool, it was ugly but a win is a win, Liverpool had a bit more piss and vineagar about them which was good to see, but they still conceeded 2 soft goals. :angry:
  10. Yes, I'm quite happy that Liverpool have a decent group, not too easy and not too hard, ( I hope!!! ) and it was nice to see Man U get a difficult group for a change. Whoever is playing them in the EPL after the away trips to CSKA Moscow and Besiktas has a good chance of causing them an upset. All in all they look like some very interesting ties.
  11. I don't think you get into the CL via the Uefa Cup, unless I'm very much mistaken, and if I was a Villa fan I wouldn't be too upset about going out of the Europa League. Have you seen how many games you have to play to get to the Final ??? I don't think O'Neill was that sad about it either, he knows that squad isn't big enough to compete on 4 fronts. It might mean they could have a good run in the domestic cups instead.
  12. In a way I'm kind of glad this one went to "Running Low" status as it forced me to order it and to use a Mosaic gift card that I had stashed and kept meaning to use. It should be here next week sometime. :cool:
  13. I have the Lone Hill set, I don't know why but it never really did that much for me, IMHO it's enjoyable but not really essential, common or garden Hard Bop. :D
  14. Yea Celtic just aren't on the same level, plenty of heart but no real skill, although the Eduardo incident was cheating plain and simple. I actually stopped watching that game and watched the second half of Fiorentina v Sporting, it was really good. Fiorentina brought on a young kid by the name of Jovetic at half time and he turned it around for them after they were a goal down and looked to be going out. However Fiorentina 's pitch was so bad, it looked like they had various forms of livestock grazing on it in the days leading up to the match. Hard to believe that a club at that level has a pitch that third world clubs would complain about.
  15. Atletico v Panathinaikos was a complete snore fest last night, I kept on switching over to "Swamp Loggers", Panathinaikos were shite, but Atletico could cause many team problems when the CL gets going. Can Celtic perform a miracle tonight, I hope so, Wenger is just too smug. :g
  16. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder did this thread have anything to do with this set going to "Running Low", if it did they should probably give me a free one. :g
  17. Well, I don't get many chances to see Liverpool play, and this may have nothing to do with what may be happening, but I remember seeing several Liverpool matches over the past couple seasons and Xabi Alonso was really a dynamic presence on the pitch. They don't look like the same team without him. Of course, I know this probably doesn't have much to do with what you're talking about Cliff. There is probably something going on with the coaching staff/management or some locker room issues. But Xabi was, in a way, the glue that held them together. I'm sure his loss hurts the team. I think it's a bit easy to just say they miss Alonso, he is a great player but they have lost a lot of games that he played in as well remember. He was very good last season, but in the previous 2 seasons, not so much. In fact I think they became too reliant on him and it became very easy for other teams to target him and mark him out of a game, also he had very little pace and didn't score enough goals for someone with such great feet. Considering that before they beat Stoke on Wednesday the bookies had stopped taking bets or at least shortened the odds on Benítez leaving tells it's own story, rumours were rife that he was going to quit last Wednesday when he stormed out of a training session, but he returned and Liverpool beat Stoke City 4-0. I think it may be dawning on him that without serious investment in the squad, money that the current owners are not going to provide as they seem to have lost interest, he has taken Liverpool as far as he can. As I posted above, they are already worse off than they were for the whole of last season, they only lost 2 games during the whole of last season and haven't been beaten at home since December 2007, how long is it since Villa won at Anfield??? I shouldn't get to down about it because before the own goal Villa didn't do a lot and if Liverpool ahd scored earlier in the first half when Gerrard, Torres and Yossi all conspired not to score it would have been very different game, but credit to Villa they had a plan and they stuck to it well and I think the USA should give Friedel a recall, that guy is amazing.
  18. Reo-Coker and Friedel were very good for Villa. Something is very wrong at Liverpool me thinks, none of the confidence of last season is there. Dark times ahead.
  19. Liverpool 1 - Aston Villa 3, what did I tell you. God I hate football.
  20. I wouldn't worry if I was you, I've seen enough of these types of games to know how they'll end up. In fairness to Villa they are more organised than Liverpool but they were very lucky with the first goal and Liverpool were to busy moaning for the second. Gerrard is having a shocker, as is the rest of the midfield, but the captain especially. He keeps trying too many Hollywood passes and flicks and none of them have come off. Torres is completely isolated most of the time. I'm only watching it on shitty live streams on the PC so I don't know if I can stand to watch the second half. It looks like Liverpool will have lost as many games in the first 3 matchs of the season as they did in the whole of the last season. God I hate football.
  21. Oh dear Liverpool are 0 - 2 down at half time and I can't see them scoring 3 in the second half the way they're playing. At least sal is happy.
  22. Technically you're correct the Liverpool vs. Aston Villa game is really part of the weekend fixtures, it's actually Man Utd v Arsenal next Saturday, Utd have the old home advantage. :rolleyes:
  23. You mean like your Villans got us last season :D what was the score again, 5 - 0???, please can you get us again like that, please. :D Seriously though I'm not sure how this one will go I think Villa will try to keep it very tight as they won't want 3 loses on the trot but if John Carew is fit and on form he can be a real handful for any defence. I think if Liverpool get an early goal they will get all 3 points. I might have to try to watch it online as I'm not sure it's on over here I think ESPN have the rights to this game. There was a good article in the Irish Sunday Tribune about Martin O'Neill and Rafa Benitez, check it out here.
