  1. Great choices mate! I know and enjoy all three - well I'm not a huge Camel fan but I do like them well enough and I own the first four or so Camel albums. Andy Latimer was a terrific guitarist, actually a bit in the Gilmour vein sometimes. HUGE Genesis fa, so I love that Hackett album, and Oldfield is great as well. Good taste!
  2. Nailed it two weeks in a row. It's not hard, just choose zero for Everton and either 3 or 4 for the other team. Whoops, I just gave away my secret!
  3. Yes, he could have been planting petunias before the Strike
  4. Can't tell you how much I would love a WIN today, for all of our sakes. Not betting on it though.
  5. Nice mate. What are yer favorite albums?
  6. Mike, you should give Dark Side/Moon a headphone spin in the evening in the dark, might work some magic for you.
  7. I'm riding a big Floyd wave right now, its been years. I'm particularly enjoying the early albums, especially Piper through Animals. Meddle is getting a lot of spins - "Echoes" is killer! Fans? Anybody see therm in the UK back in their heyday? Any of you olde geezers see Syd in the 60's?
  8. You should watch it at my place Newt - its on at 11 AM, then you still have the rest of the day
  9. Were gonna destroy them. We are at the top of our game right now, an unbelievable machine working at maximum capacity. This is what a Man U fan told me about his team.
  10. Did we lose all of the Prem games in the states? They used to be on NBC extra, CNBC, etc....now I see some bullshit NBC Sports Gold subscription bullshit! WTF is that?
  11. At the moment? Yes, we are playing relegation level football.
  12. Palace still hasn't scored a goal after 5 matches - they seem even worse than us Well, OK, at least as bad as us. They REALLY fuckin suck wrinkled moosebag at the moment, wow. That's positive, right?
  13. What is also REALLY worrying me is that Koeman is having the "deer in the headlights" look for the first time as manager imo during his pre- and post-match interviews. Its pretty similar to when Martinez the Clown was shitting the bed in the winter/spring of the season he was sacked. You can see it in his eyes, you can hear it in both the words he chooses and how he says them. At least Koeman is openly admitting that he is to blame for this utter shite pool that we are currently bathing in, but looking what he has to work with on "paper", I don't think he has many more tricks up his sleeve. These players were supposed to raise this team into new heights and uncharted territories, and ironically it has had the exact opposite effect. The negative aspect of this teams playing and attitude is manifesting and feeding on itself, and I think we we are headed to a possible out-of-control spiral unless something drastic changes in our system, tactics, attitude, pace, spirit, teamwork....you name it...it ALL has to change. Whether this is hyperbole or not, that remains to be seen. But how fucking crazy is it that he is publicly coming out and saying stuff like Keane is devoid of all confidence?! That is just not a good scenario anyway you slice it. I wanted to believe in Koeman, and with the talk of him possibly going to manage FC Barca someday, I thought we got pretty lucky and made out like a bandit. Now, I am beginning to almost think the opposite...is this guy a fraud? Is he really that clueless on the scouting of players and how to correctly utilize them, as well as basic tactics and systems of play? I really don't know. Yes its a tough run, and its early days, but like Baz said in his video, its the manner in which we have lost, not just the losses themselves.

  15. If you watch basically ANY other team at the moment, there are at least one or two aspects that you can say "OK, they at least do X well, or wow, they are pretty adept at Y". When you watch us, I honestly can't think of ONE aspect of our playing that I think we are excelling at, and that is just sad. If you would have told me that I would be feeling this way in the summer when the excitement was running high with all of the new signings, I'd say you were huffing too much paint and BBQ sauce. But its fuckin true. And unless a miracle comes blasting through Rooney's asshole on Sunday, we ain't winning that match. Its going to come down to damage control and trying to minimize the amount of embarrassment. Its actually a good thing were not at Goodison on Sunday in a way.

  17. The new Cardiacs DVD is out......watch that instead of the Man U slaughter this weekend!!
  18. Sure mate. He feels the way most of us feel right now - how could you not? I'm looking forward to the Final Word on this one - they are going to go off the deep end.
  19. I recorded this match and was gonna watch it, but I Guess it sounds like its a waste of my time. That's been a trend with this team for the past, I dunno, every match.
