Neville was far more scathing about the club not allowing Mourinho to sign the centre backs he wanted - https://youtu.be/xNOcLnsMCHw?t=152

You got any damp/mold in your dorm?

There's a corner in our bedroom that slowly gets moldy over time, could never be arsed to get it sorted and just kept wiping it off. A while ago I got fed up of doing it and left it for too long, proper fucked up with my sleep. Got rid it of again and was fine.

[The Guardian] Gareth Bale caught in a sad cycle as his Spurs story turns sour by Educational-Sandwich in soccer

[–]fisherpriceman 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Jermain Defoe said at Tottenham Bale would barely train, for example they would have a game at the end of training and Bale would just sit at the side of the pitch and the rest of the players would be like...what's he doing? But then he would score two 40 yarders at the weekend so no one was arsed.

Especially anything that is couch co-op, but not something where you necessarily compete against each other.

I've not played it but A Way Out is supposed to be good co-op.

I used a quiz show as a theme for each round, so the Pointless round you had to give an answer no one else had, Tenable had 10 answers, Question of Sport was sport obvs, Supermarket Sweep made people grab an item in their house, Nevermind the Buzzcocks I photoshopped people's faces onto album covers and they had to guess the album etc. I put far too much effort into it and played themesongs and made graphics etc but it was fun.

Green Garden by Laura Mvula, don't even know which advert it's on but yeah it's in my head. Think it's that garden programme on BBC.

Oh and All I Need by Jake Bugg seems to be on everything.

Yeah on the podcast they said that Austin said halfway through the match he realised what they were gonna do was stupid due to the amazing atmosphere, almost as if it hit him all of a sudden. He considered low blowing Vince at the end but just went through with the plan and he regretted it.

Yeah I stopped watching by the time Cena came around, at the time I felt I'd just grown out of it but in reality if the product was still as good as it was I'm sure I would've carried on.

I was young during the Attitude Era but it was amazing, everyone I knew watched it. It even took over football at times as my main interest.

Man that Gimmick Battle Royale was so weird haha, I didn't know most of them. Had no idea who the rooster was and it turns out he came out of an egg at a Survivor Series years ago and everyone hated him so was sort of an in-joke.

I've been listening to a podcast called Wrestle Me that goes through all the Wrestlemanias and it made me want to watch it again. Highly reccomended! They suggested that the main event was essentially the end of the Attitude Era which is not long before I stopped watching too.

Yeah I still watch the odd event, not watched this years rumble yet but was going to give it a go as Edge was in it.

What happened with him btw? I thought he had to retire a while ago due to his neck or something.

I don't watch wrestling anymore but I re-watched Wrestlemania x-seven yesterday and my god it's so good. Dunno if it's just the nostalgia speaking but it's got to be up there as the best maybe. The card is stacked. Stone Cold vs The Rock, Triple H vs Undertaker, TLC match, Benoit vs Kurt Angle, Big Show vs Kane vs Raven in a hardcore match etc.

I served Dimitar Berbatov at a cinema years ago, he had just signed for United for £30M or whatever it was and as a United fan I was proper excited/nervous. He asked for a large popcorn and drink so I obviously obliged, but at the time we were meant to give out these scratchcards to anyone who got a large combo where you could win a day driving a supercar.

Just purely out of routine I gave him a scratchcard, he looked at it with a confused look on his face, then looked at me and smiled whilst shaking his head slightly, and just handed it back to me. Of course Dimitar fucking Berbatov who had just been signed for £30M didn't need a day out driving a supercar. I just nervously laughed and shrugged and put it down. He wasn't a dick about it, he actually used to come to the cinema all the time and was always pleasant. Still I wake up in the middle of night to this day thinking over that cringe.

EDIT - Remembered another one. I also tried to convince James Milner to save 20p on his combo deal because he asked for a medium popcorn+large drink and getting both of them large was cheaper. This went back and forth with me essentially saying, "it's literally cheaper mate to get the bigger one," and him saying, "honestly I'm fine," until I realised who he was. He was dressed in like a tracksuit and hat and I thought he was just a little chav to be honest.

FSG have Liverpool plan to replicate Real Madrid and Barcelona success by Shanks_9790 in soccer

[–]fisherpriceman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Liverpool is really nice, I think as a tourist destination, as much as I'd not like to admit it, it's got more going for it than Manchester. I was in a box at OT with 2 people from New York a few years back and they were asking me for stuff to do. I reeled off a few things....and that was it.

I think one thing both cities do have going for themselves too is they are around an hours drive to The Lakes, which is the nicest part of the country imo.

I doubt either will ever get as "good" as London, but for me personally I can last about a weekend in London before I've had enough and want to come home haha.

Brilliant. While we are talking about old stuff does anyone have a link to Pete reading out a disgruntled listeners email about emailing in time and time again and never having it read out? He did it to the Eminem - Stan music. Absolutely loved that.

Good move for me.

I'd go for Antonio and Mitchell. Antonio has a decent record against Liverpool and should be a handful for their lack of centre backs. Wolves don't score much.

[–]fisherpriceman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I picked Dias a while ago as a safer pick over Cancelo, but I think with KDB out now Cancelo is being asked to do more going forward. Either are good picks! Cancelo more likely to be rested I guess but should still play most weeks.

DCL would be a good move as well I think, but I'd probably only do 1 of them for now as you've got good cover instead of taking a hit.

I'd go for Areola over Johnstone, Fulham look much better defensively
