Following our nearest and dearest rivals
I heard that one too. I also, heard a rumour that Insua, Mascherano and Lucas haven't got back in time to play for Liverpool. I'm not sure how true it is though, but with Gerrard and Torres out as well, that's a fairly big impact on their team.

microsoft strikes again
Aye, that's fair, but the thing is people believe Apple. Incidentally why is it that you don't like Vista? Edit - Actually I do have a bit of chaffing... maybe that explains it all. :D

microsoft strikes again
Aye, I completely agree with that. The same happened with Vista, hence the people struggling to get the update working having big problems. Obviously it'll work fine after a few fixes and whatnot, but still, Apple do try to form the reputation that they make things work straight away with no updating, or any of the 'hard work' people associate with Windows. I'm becoming really cynical in my old age, it seems. :D

microsoft strikes again
Yeah, I was just speaking in generalisations, the same could be said of Linux really, I mean you don't have to compile all the programs if you don't want to... it's just I had to hash together a driver for my wireless card for it, so it's kind of the impression I have. I've not used any of their professional stuff, so can't really comment on that, but I've used one or two consumer level ones, but it's just not my cup of tea... I really, really like clutter on my desktop, it makes me feel at home somehow. I heard something about Snow Leopard having some massive bugs in it on release, which made me chuckle a little, but I'm just vindictive like that.

I'd agree with you there, they're extremely convenient, because they're plug and play and yeah, editing video, and also things like Photoshop tend to run a bit better on one. They work well for that kind of thing and browsing the internet. I just don't see them as much more than that though. I play games on my PC - well my laptop, my PC runs Linux, but anyway - and that's the main thing I use it for, so a Mac would be a bit useless for me. I wasn't having a go at Macs, I was just saying that in general they're bought for the fact that they're easy, and look good. I use Vista and I really don't get why everyone hates it so much, I've not had a problem with it, admittedly I have all the service packs, and I'm capable of not getting viruses, which is most people's problem with a PC. The only thing which can annoy me a little is the constantly having to click Continue, when you do something in Program Files or whatever, but that's not exactly something that'll ruin my experience. Anyway, I swear I ran away from you. Incidentally if you're wondering, I do have a gripe with Apple as a company, and that's their PR. They can sell anything, for example the Macbook Air. Steve Jobbs actually said something along the lines of "You don't need an optical drive." People decided that he was right. I don't like the way they use gimmicks to sell their products, and the fact that people buy into it. I'm running away again now. :P

It's actually a very typical question when it comes to Apple products. It's more about style than function, which annoys me greatly... incidentally my geeky side has a yearning for Linux, but my gaming side sticks to Windows. In case you don't know, it tends to go like this: Apple - Isn't it pretty? Windows - Isn't it useful? Linux - So let me get this right, I have to program that bit myself? *Runs away before mac users get him.*

International break - list time
Winamp is not showing my taste in music in a positive light, but I'll go for it anyway. Yes - 90125 Tegan & Sara - The Con Jamiroquai - Greatest Hits Miles Davis - Birth Of The Cool Miles Davis - Seven Steps To Heaven Although, right now, I'm listening to 'The Very Best Of School Reunion', I decided it's best not to include that... I probably shouldn't have mentioned it at all actually.

Correct Score poll vs Dippers
I'm going for a 4-1. We'll probably play badly, but I think they'll play worse.

Chelsea vs Liverpool (Premiership - Home 04/10/09 1600 KO)
Hilario Bosingwa Carvalho Terry A. Cole Lampard Essien J. Cole Deco Zhirkov Drogba That way we have Essien to keep Gerrard in his pocket, and have someone near to him. Joey and Zhirkov starting centrally, but breaking forward to link up with Drogba and could go wide to make it a 4-3-3 if we need more width to break them down. It would mean stifling Lampard a little bit by playing him so deep, but I'd say that it's something worth doing for a game like this. Although he could swap with Deco to make it a more attacking line up, with Deco as a deep-lying play-maker and Lampard linking with Drogs. OK, that won't happen, but it'd be nice to see. More likely to see a more defensive side much like the one German-blue posted up. It would be nice though.

Wigan vs Chelsea (Premiership 26/09/09 1500 KO)
I'd accept conceding a third if we were going for it and were caught on the break. However we never even tried to.

FIFA 10
I cheated and downloaded an update, a while back, it's a fair bit easier to keep one of them up to date. Having said that, I haven't got the latest promotions and relegations in, either. It all takes too much effort.

FIFA 10
Hell yes. :) Have you updated it much? I've just realised that a few of the lesser teams could do with updating on mine. As in Wigan still have Heskey and Zaki.

Was born in Milton Keynes, raised not far from Amsterdam, then raised the rest of the way in Bedford... With a Ukrainian grandparent on each side for a good measure of randomness... Oh and my accent is Bedfordian, now. :P

In my experience, Dutch schools are FAR better than English schools... Although that might just be some wistful nostalgia, as I went to lower school there, and middle and upper schools here... Having said that though, I am aware that in a study by the EU, The Netherlands came out on top for student happiness and enjoyment.

FIFA 10
You have a PS3, right? So I'm assuming you played the PS3 version? FIFA don't bother improving the versions for the last generation of consoles... much like PC versions. That's why I don't think it's worth getting. He should just save up and wait until he gets a new console.

FIFA 10
That wasn't what he was asking, I don't think. I believe he was asking if it is worth upgrading to FIFA 10 on the PS2... to which the answer should be no.
