No luck this time. Poor Gibbs I say... had he not slipped the game could have been quite different, took all the sting out of the match.

I just laughed when the commentator was talking about the bench. Who could Man U bring on? Giggs, Tevez, Berbatov. Who could Arsenal bring on? Bendtner. Pah.
And I still don't know why Wenger decided Bendtner for Walcott was a good idea? He keeps making that terrible sub! And the ref, HA! I think both ManU and Arsenal fans will agree he was just pathetic.

Oh well, another 90 mins of defending for Chelsea tonight?

4-4 what a game! Although a shame we didn't win it. I think Benitez should be worried the team have let in 8 goals in 2 games? Although I suppose we've let in 6...

Geez... we were doomed from the start, what a weird line up. + Fabianski?? Did he have too many bday drinks? Blah.

And what was up with that pitch? It was worse than my old school pitch!

Music - Movies - TV / Re: Lie To Me

« on: April 09, 2009, 11:40:45 pm »

I really like Lie to Me, it is progressing well this season, not sure how long it can go before they have to start changing the format a bit, but they have had some interesting insights into the characters' personal lives too.

The episodes are not 'linked'. It is like a crime show with a new case each week, yes the characters have small backstories that devlop each week but you could start watching now and not have a problem.

I would highly suggest that you watch the first episode though (i can PM a link if you like - or I'm sure you could BitChe it!) because it explains the purpose of all the characters and what role they have in the team. It also shows the analysing at a basic level so you have an understanding of what to look for in later episodes.

I mean you could get into this after seeing a few eps I would just think it would make things easier

I find this interesting simply from a film making perspective. Some of the effects haven't been added and there's still green screens at certain parts. Interesting to compare to the final version.

I'm not a rugby fan. Besides all I hear of here is Aussie Rules. Now THAT is a game I just do not understand.

General Discussion / Something random for thought - 2010 or 2000 & 10?

« on: March 20, 2009, 07:59:11 pm »

Apparently what will happen in 2010 is that people will stop calling it 'two thousand and x' and call it 'twenty x'

So instead of 'two thousand and ten' people will call it 'twenty ten'. This all came about because 2000 is easier said as 'two thousand' rather than the usual 'twenty hundred' (think, 1900). Then, 2001 - 'two thousand (and) one' is still quicker to say that 'twenty oh one' and therefore this continues until 2010.

Right now people will still call the year 'two thousand and ten' but experts (don't ask me to reference) say that this will die out in favour of 'twenty ten' and will continue. They (they say a lot don't they? [yes they do]) say that after some time people will go back to this naming system for all the years, so you will say 'ninteen seventy three' 'twenty sixty four' and 'twenty oh nine' without even thinking that you used to say 'two thousand and nine' when it was 2009.

What do you think? After a thought (but not for too long) I agree with this, and am starting to try and adapt by saying 'twenty ten' already.

Oh and a thought, the movie 2012 I'm already hearing referred to 'twenty twelve' so maybe this is all a subconcious thing? But then again, if you ask someone what year it will be 50 years from now they usually reply 'two thousand and fifty nine'.

For me I can watch 98% of all Arsenal league games on Fox here, and Champions League on ESPN, so it's only really the League Cup and some FA Cup ties (such as the tie with Hull) that aren't shown here, and about 2 league games, so it's not really worth paying the extra for Setanta. Just watch them online, only a few games a season.

I don't think he will. It would be a shame to see him at Real Madrid, I think they are the wrong team for him.

Like the Champions League draw Billy? Seems very nice for us, plus a chance at a ManU v Arsenal semi final if you can beat Porto 

Not so good for Chelsea... first Liverpool, then Barca or Bayern, then ManU or Arsenal....

I found the photo online. It's actually not at night, but with some tweaking..! Ha.. it still doesn't really look like night...and it did bring out some artefacts as the original wasn't that good... (there's a Tex joke here I'm sure)
Although I just realised I cropped it at a crap point because you only can half see that star. Meh.

Billy, you think Fergie will pay 32mill for Tevez? I think he's worth it... but not with the amount that he plays at Man U. I think he's one of the best strikers in the world, but seems to be 'that good player on the bench' since Berba came along.
