Ah I don't know know about fergie being outplayed here!

He got what he wanted, and I think he played it pretty well. I doubt he was the one ever standing untie way of Rooney getting his wages....

[Sledgejammer]

Techie help

I've just rec'd a video file in an email.

its a .3gp file, anyone know what free video players I can use to watch this?

Thanks in advance

Not sure specifically but if VLC media player doesn't play it I'd be amazed. Google it, it's a free download, and has literally never not played a media file I've thrown at it.

An appropriate analagy for Rooney vs Fergie perhaps???

[Solskjaer]

Excellent news on Rooney. Glad I wasn't one of the fkwits who turned on him. I really don't think Fergie was standing
In the way of the contract. That means United will get a good price when they flog him next year. Good deal all round.
Sign the contract and push up his price , sound business pratice.

[Bubbleking]

He is an omaha donk

lol omaha obv play a skill game

You won't get a Mac for that price. If you are happy having it not portable then a desktop is great, but if you are used to a laptop, then get another one. You can get a good one for that type of price.

thanks Dom - I was thinking about getting a desktop. is there any difference performance wise between desktops and laptops?

I wonder if Scholesy regrets hacking Rooney down in training now, possible ankle operation now.

Do you really think they still intend to sell him?

Collusion between Rooney and Ferguson maybe?

Or will I take it to CT?

[Raoul Duke III]

Rooney must be dishing out the business cards of his agent to the rest of the United squad like confetti

wp that man

[Solskjaer]

if they do, this makes a lot of sense. watch this space.

Galacitco summer signing.

[Theresa]

Fergie and Rooney in cahoots wouldn't surprise me in 'the slightest! There's no doubt that he wanted Rooney to stay so I don't see how Fergies been outplayed here.

I think I'd like to believe that they were conspiring because otherwise Rooneys behaviour is terribly disrespectful.

Conspiring for what? Seems his team-mates aren't thrilled with him is quotes are to be believed, "If one player does not trust the other players, that player should not play," said Evra apparently*. I doubt Ferguson wanted to upset team spirit here and don't see what he gained from all of this at all. If anything he's only lost here, upset team spirit, new wage structure other players will want and a damaged reputation between club and player.

Ferguson got what he wanted, but at a price he'd rather not have paid and ultimately he was forced to bow down to pressure put on him by one of his players who acted disgracefully but seemingly was found too important to sell. In that sense, it was a power play and Rooney won, which is the first time I can remember that happening in any power play with Ferguson. That is, unless they do intend to sell him and this is all to get more money, but I don't see that myself, stranger things have happened, though.

They will if the right offer comes in for him next summer.

Chelsea won't go for him, but it would take either Torres or Rooney to move to kick off a 8 figure a spin transfer merry-go-round between Real Madrid, Man City, Utd and Chelsea.

How soon after Ronaldo signing a new contract was he sold for 70 million. He went with United blessing. It's big Agent led business Rooneys agent Stretford (ironic name) is a gangster and involved in ventures with Dalglish and some other notables. I read that one reason Dalglish wasn't accepted as pool manager was due to these dealings in a common company
Bigger transfer price = bigger cut for Rooney, the Agent, and United (and Everton)
I really don't expect him at OT for another year.

[cardshark202]

Looks like a good deal for all concerned. Rooney gets bundles of cash, and if Utd do decide to sell at the end of the season they get a fairer price. If not we keep Rooney who hopefully will get back to his best soon enough. Still not too happy with how it all came about but I guess that will be forgotten about in time.

Such a depressing and reassuring (from the point of view of future job seeking) lecturer interview panel this morning. My God, academics really don't know how to interview! Was alternating being trying not to laugh and trying not to sleep.

One lad even put sounds in his powerpoint presentation!

Was his name Trent?

Don't think they are comparable. Madrid was Ronaldo's boyhood club, he always wanted to play in Spain. All of Rooney's family are in the area, and his bruv Rio!

My laptop has bit the dust after 5 long years of faithfull service. The thing is what do I do now

Buy a new laptop?
Get a mac?
Get a desktop?

Apart from convience what are the major pros and cons of getting a desktop over a laptop?

can spend in the region of 500 - 800 if that helps

tyty

Well seeing as you like to have and old game of online poker while you are doing updates you cant really do that when you have a desktop.

As your in shared accommodation do you really want all crazy kinda people using your desktop and could end up fucking the thing up, laptop you can hide in your room.

Drop Downtown a PM he got a pretty sweet laptop in Currys a couple weeks back in that price range.

I always took it as the opposite meaning that you have to stay mates with your bro and not let any hoes get in the way. Totally depends on how long your mate went out with her. If it was a 4 year relationship then you will open yourself to some serious roy keane leg breakers next time your play but if it was 2 months in college then plow away imo.

Isnt that what I said?

Meh, there are some silly neighbourhood aspects that are not comparible but the more important one are.
Football is business, and at the top level BIG business. Anyway we shall see obviously it's all conjecture . Hope I'm wrong, great player when fit. Utd in their so called decline need good players.

this is the key thing for all MU'ers

is it guaranteed however? it's not flicking a switch and he has been in a downward spiral for over 6 months now (literally unable to control the ball any time I see him)

as a lover of sport I'd like to see Rooney back to his best and scoring spectacular goals, I'm just not convinced that this is a given

[Opr]

Conspiring for what?

I presume he means it would be a great way to out the Glaziers and draw more attention to the debt (which many fans seem oblivious towards) and that Ferguson is not getting money to spend as he would like. It would be a very clever way to do this without Ferguson having to publicly condemn the running of the club and the owners but it all seems far to convoluted to be plausible.

Conspiring to get Rooney a bigger pay check, give the glazers a wake up call about the need for new players or they face the loss of their main assets, conspiring to keep Rooney at the club but on better terms for all involved!

Admittedly the quotes look bad but Evra is a mouth at the best of times and fletcher has been misquoted. I don't think the team spirit issue will be a problem.

It might seem highly unlikely that they'd be in cahoots but I want to believe it. Roomed behaved deplorably and I thought he was better than that. I don't wanna believe he's a conniving prick that's going to cause upset in the club because of all this!

Yeah it's possible but like 1% chance of it, I mean it's not like the Glazers have a big pile of money they're sitting on but wont spend it, they've always spent when they've had the money, all the wake up calls in the world wont scare up a 50m transfer kitty without just putting the club further in debt because there's nowhere else for the money to come from.

It's also quite the elaborate plan and would involve Rooney voluntarily run the risk of the clubs fans and fellow plays turning on him, and some fans probably have as a result. It'd be an almost A-Team-esque plan and I'd love it if it came together like that but probably not...

Lookit. There's no place for logic in football, this has been seen time and time again, even "the voice of reason" becomes a blabbering frothy mouthed fool when it comes to it!

So shut up with your reasonable opinion, my A teamesque plan makes me feel better about this while sorry situation!

This Is What 121-1/2 Tons of Marijuana Looks Like ... Before and After You Burn It

If you engage in a bit of the wacky tobacco, you probably have a pretty good idea of what a gram of marijuana looks like -- maybe even an ounce. But even the most expanded mind would have trouble conceptualizing the sheer mass of 121.5 tons of marijuana. Mexican authorities are calling this haul "the largest seizure in the country's history of marijuana prepared and packed for sale and distribution."

even you don't believe any of that

I don't know, personally I have lost a lot of respect for Rooney

Anyone who turned on him cannot cheer him anymore imo
Ever time they do, that sound they hear will be a little of their soul dying

Yeah it's possible but like 1% chance of it

Smiths are well worth giving some time to and they don't have too many albums. Some of Morrisseys solo stuff is also well worth a listen but I am probably in the minority on that.

I've always wondered actually, let's say hypothetically Ireland was to legalize weed, I presume it would be illegal for countries where it is not legal to export it?

How did you finish up in the sng last night?

took a chance 3 handed to knock the other 2 out with AdKd
was up agains Kh9H and another AKoffsuit

of course the Kh9h pings 2 pair

then I ended up short stacked but worked it back up, knocked out the older guy (who flopped the set V your KQ) and was about 15K behind the other guy... blinds were 1K 2K so we did a chop €200 each and left a €10 each for dealer....

it went on for a good while. Was actually a good SNG as there were people knocked out really quickly which left alot of play... some of the standard was really really bad...
