Well ......... I got that one a bit wrong

The problem is lower league clubs can't afford him, foreign clubs have heard enough about him to leave well alone and the only place where newcastle will be able to get his stupidly inflated price is the premiership. I can see him going to one of the relegation scrappers like stoke, sunderland etc or to one of the promoted clubs from the championship. Can't see Wolves going for him tho, not big Micks style. I can however imagine him in a Birmingham shirt. Imagine that, Barton and Bowyer in the same side

I honestly think arsenal will go through tonight. Man utd have at times been amazing this season, but other times they have ridden their luck big time and i can see them tripping up tonight. I personally thought that porto outclassed them over the 2 legs of the last round but just couldn't add a finish. Arsenal have nothing else to play for, i can see them putting on a real show.... its just a shame that arshavin can't play.

Gonna be hard to motivate us for the playoffs after missing out on automatic by such a narrow margin. I'm glad we have Preston though .... its Burnley that worry me

I read that Ronaldo was going for 75 Million and Man Utd were gonna sign Ribery for 60 Million !!!! Now i don't like Ronaldo, but that imo is bad business. Any one who has ever seen Franck Ribery play would surely agree that he isn't worth half of that reported 60 Million. He's a good player, but not 60 Million good. Ronaldo (the whingeing, winking wunker) is worth 5 times what Ribery is.

If Shearer does get rid of Barton, some other prem club will only come along and throw more money at the fool. Look at Lee Bowyer ... he managed it for years and now it looks like he's back in the prem with birmingham.

I have never heard of a laptop bursting into flames ... Mine gets very hot at times, but then the noisy fan sorts it out! It should just shut down at a certain temp, to prevent any more damage happening. Have they had it sat on a carpet or fluffly rug or something stupid like that?

My sister owns the NC-10, and the more i use it the more i prefer it to the wifes Acer tbh.

I personally rate ACER laptops as one of the best on the market. I have an acer ferrari 4000 series which luckily cost me nothing. They normally retail at £900 and after having it for the last 2 years i wouldn't think twice about spending that sort of money on another if i needed too. Also my wife has an acer netbook which is very very good also.

But it was a "console" discussion

Me too .... Although Big Nev would have been a great stand in

Wasn't the Rush, Hughes era the same time as the Lineker, Beardsley era .... ?? If so, i know which 2 i'd sooner have!! Old big ears and quasimodo for me every time

Has anyone realised that microsoft have basically stolen their entire new front end and "cutesy gaming" from the Wii. M$ aren't daft, they are the best at the marketing game, and they saw that what the Wii was offering had a massive market so have added things like avatar's etc to try and grab a section of nintendo's market. The PS3 is a hugely powerful machine, and maybe some day we will see it use all its power but so far it has flattered to deceive and sony just keep making excuse after excuse .... Also, what the hell was that "HOME" thing all about on the ps3 (now that was awful) I think M$ and Nintendo have all the market power atm, and struggle to see how sony will recover any ground.

All looks sweet to me.... I'd deffo go for some OCZ's from ebuyer (i use ocz's in all my builds, best memory around imo) I see your reasoning for a larger power supply, but 800w is bloody huge Nice system all in all tho

AOL has always been very good for me, bt in this last 6 months it has seriously slowed down. I'm considering changing (either that or phoning up and having a good old whinge)
