[Archived] Roberts Signs
Parasyte replied to The1mattjansen's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Roberts isnt half the goal scorer Bellamy is, but hes a fa rbigger team player in terms of goal involvement. Our midfield scoredmore than its fair share last year, most of it via MGP. With Reid being able to link further up due to Roberts strength, I'm guessing it wont be a replacement for Bellers, but will go a decent way to replacing him. -

I was thinking of Roberts as perhaps a player to attract attention the box, be a nuisance, and allow the midfield to get goals as well as contribute some of his own. Also, having someone like him who can hold up, pass and run is why I think a fast player would be better with him - give us multiple counter-attacking outlets. If we had Mido (and I certainly wouldnt say no, dont get me wrong), it could be effective, if a little predictable on the break. SO yes, I'd prefer a Baros-esque player, just not Baros himself. -

What we lose in Bellamy's pace I think RRoberts could make up for a bit in pace, but his muscle and height have got to be a plus when our only other option is Kuqi. I have great mental images of MGP crosses actually getting us somewhere this season. Now, just get a real speedster to play alongside him and I think our frontline will be in as equally healthy state as last term, only less reliant on one man. -
I wouldnt sacrifice either of my love jewels for any player, but yes I'd Rooney at Blackburn. But if someone had me up against the wall with a knife and said Blackburn can have Rooney or Torres but not both, I'd pick Torres. And even if Rooney played for Blackburn, I wouldnt have to like the over-hyped, lardy dip-s**t either.

Both are over-rated. Kuqi all the way No really, Torres. Equal talent, but Torres isnt a Shrek-a-like idiot with a headline media frenzy behind him.

[Archived] Help Required

I've known soundcards throw up the BSOD with IRQL messages and memory problems. If they are old parts or bad drivers, certain memory access points and hardware commands basically conflict with Windows. No damagae is ever done, as far as I am aware, its just an annoyance. If Hainsey's tips dont work, I suggest checking all driver updates, and if you have the newest, downgrading your soundcard driver. If your soundcard has integrated gameports or 56k modems, it usually adds to the misery of it occuring regularly, even if you dont use them. Simply having a joystick plugged in caused the problem on my old PC, as it kept being recognised mid-way through other tasks and just causing havoc. -
I still cant ADSL in my area, so I'm lumbered with AOL or ntl. At the moment, I've got a 612k ntl cable connection, which is absolute useless, because I was downloading OpenOffice via BitTorrent at a staggering... 7kb/s. AOl are just as bad though. My neighbour uses them.

[Archived] Freaking Ipod!
Parasyte replied to neekoy's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football Archive
How old is it? 5G, 4G? I know a few people whove Linuxed their 4G's and the battery went right down the pan. Also, if I keep anything but music on my Nano (ie, use as a portable HDD) it MASSIVELY reduces battery time. Still, not to 20 mins. -

Athlon 64, 300GB HDD, a hefty graphics card, and lots of space taken up by three drives - all in a midi-tower? It sounds decent value, so long as you are aware it could have some serious heat issues with future upgrades. Midi-towers are nice to look at, but theres a reason they arnt the standard... and there is no mention of the PSU if my scan-reading is right. Theres a lot of nice kit there - my random guestimate that to run that at full whack and be just reasonably okay for upgrades would be a 450-500 watt PSU. Which, unless things have changed since I last made a PC (about a year), are not cheap. -
[Archived] Club Up For Sale?
Parasyte replied to Florida Rover's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
I'm sure Jack put his family above his club, so that rule about having to give x amount probably doesnt exist. Likewise, he wanted the club to eventually stand on its own two feet, not the trusts, so that would, to me, show that such clause doesnt exist, as much as I'd love it to. -
[Archived] Club Up For Sale?
Parasyte replied to Florida Rover's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
It wouldnt suprise me if it were true - we all know that Jack and his families money wouldnt be pumped in forever. A part of me also thinks this is a good time to sell; with Abramovich and Gaydamak improving popularity of the EPL in Russia, and certainly raising English footballs already fairly lofty profile, interest in England is at some of its highest. Dont forget Villa were subject to about 3 different bids over the past couple of years, and rumours yesturday suggest that Sullivan is hoping to offload his share of Brum. A club sitting 5th with a combined total of many, many hundreds of international caps, with an already top quality set of facilities, could be a good proposition, even if the attendances arnt - the idea of new owners could coax back supporters with one signing alone, and I'm not talking Ronaldinho style signings. However, a part of me thinks no-one wouldve said ANYTHING whatsoever to a reporter unless there was already one interested party (if its true, of course). I cant imagine all and sundry at the club would know if the trust wanted shot of Rovers, so if anyone could leak it, it sounds a little planned. Still, I have the business and financial knowledge and logic that probably only applies to me, while all those who know what they are talking about are either screw-faced or laughing. But thats my 2 cents. -
If Totti stepped up and smacked the guy in the face, I would think he just let his temper get the better of him. I'd think he is an idiot, but not a pansying spitter, wuss. Its not the idea of losing his head for a split second, it was that his reaction was to spit, like a spoilt four year old, or Diouf. That and the fact he has a tendancy to immitate a sack of potatoes far too often, and all I see is a dishonest (on the pitch), but highly gifted football player. However, the WC doesnt need him, because there are plenty of people who are highly gifted who dont come with the baggage of being a hatable footballer. I'm not saying he deserves to have the injury - no-one does - I'm just saying I wont miss him. His loyalty to Roma is to be commended, and his charity work too. But at the world cup, its Totti the footballer who will/would be on display, not Totti for Roma, or Totti the charity man.

While we're on topic of loathable ankle breakees Sure fire bet he wont be at World Cup... what a shame, he'll just have to spit at nurses and physios instead.
