RE: Starship Troopers 3

This actually looks quite good for a straight to dvd production. Its great to see Casper Van Dien taking up his role of Johnny Rico again. Obviously it would be better if more of the original cast returned although most of them were killed. Obviously this cant be as good as the first one but to be honest even the first one caught me by surprised, as I didnt expect to like it so much. Looks like they have gone back to the roots for this one. 2nd was so p*** poor, it sure as hell couldnt get any worse.

RE: What book are you reading now?

Im currently reading The Dark River by John Twelve Hawks. Just started but its been brilliant so far continuing at the same pace as The Traveller.
Lee Child is one of my favourite authors. Jack Reacher is truly a great creation. He simply rocks. I highly recommend Lee Child to anyone who hasnt read his Reacher books. Reacher is my top book protagonist, closely followed by Harry Bosch.
Harlan Coben is also one of my faves but I`m not a big fan of his Myron Bolitar books although some are decent. His non-myron books have all been fantastic.
Prey was only my second Michael Crichton book that i read (Rising Sun is still one of my faves). While it was intriguing and climaxed well, I have to say the first half of the book was slightly boring with too much technical jargon.

RE: Prison Break - Season 2

What a fantastic episode. Easily the best one this season. I had a feeling at the beginning of the episodeSPOILER:
that one of them (kellerman or mahone) has to switch sides to turn the tables on the president. It was hard to believe as the are both heartless cruel bastards but then again desperation does make you do crazy things like switching sides. Glad to see sucre made it alright. Hopefully he should be home and free and thats the last we see of him in trouble. Its doubtful we will see haywire again too cos he is probably dead . Its a shame we didnt see more of C Note this episode. With his wife being in custody and all, I would have thought he would try and do something about it.

RE: England Team - Business as Normal

Beckham has great skill, composure, a quality touch on the ball and great character. Not to mention he is probably the best crosser in the world. I think you are all forgetting what he is capable of. He has done it before and he WILL do it again(no its not getting sent off).
I would have picked
Robinson
Young Terry Carragher Cole
Parker
Beckham Konchesky
Rooney
Crouch Defoe

Rooney plays well deep and is effectively an attacking midfielder rather than an out and out striker. He will create chances and feed the front two. Beckham and Konchesky will get plenty of accurate crosses in to both Crouch and Defoe. You never know what crouch is gonna do when the ball is played into him and that is what makes him a good player. Defoe is a greedy bastard who just always goes for goal, which is good as we would get lots of shots on target. He is quick and has good pace too. Parker in a holding role as Gerrard and Hargreaves were unavailable. Has done well for Newcastle and enjoys that role and likes to bring the ball forward. He didnt have a great game but it wasnt dreadful either. Otherwise I would have Tom Huddlestone in the holding role. He is young but is maturing beyond his age.
At the end of the day this is all theoretical and maybe my team would also get thrashed but logically it just seems like a better team than the s*** he put out there.

RE: England Team - Business as Normal

Business as Usual today eh?
Steve Mclaren doesnt know what he`s doing and should be sacked. Its all been wrong. He was Sven`s number 2 and was partially responsible for the decisions. He was part of the problem. He has been stupid from day one axing Beckham, who is probably one of only 2 real class players we have. His love for Stewert Downing is astounding. He plays him on a regular basis even though he has proved that he aint quite ready yet. You cant take risks like that in international football. I like the idea of the England Manager being english but I dont like the idea of selecting managers who are clearly stupid. Mclaren made a mess at Middlesborough and if he cant get it right at club level, what chance has he got at international level. He is clearly still inexperienced. Alan Curbishley is a man who would be more suited for the job. It seems like all of Englands modern legends have all turned out to be crap managers (David Platt, Gazza etc) We need someone who will manage with full heart and really want to win.

That said the players were quite s*** as well. I have been saying for long that Gary Neville is crap but no one seems to listen. He has been sitting comfortably in the right back role for many years with virtually no competition. That is because managers seem to think he is flawless and world class or something but they are wrong. Its time for a change. Let Luke Young or Glen Johnson take over because I rate them higher than Gary Neville. Gary Neville is an established international. What does that word really mean? He has just been sitting there a long time.

RE: The Official West Ham 2006-2007 Season Thread

Both Tevez and Mascherano have greatly stressed that they wish to stay at west ham, Javier more recently saying that he wants to become a legend for the club. This is good news and hopefully will put to rest allegations that the players are to leave in january and/or the end of the season. 5 defeats on the trot, all without scoring a goal, has left us down near the bottom but I firmly believe that when we can get the balance right and score a few goals, they will start coming in on a regular basis. Last season was an adventure and we should be looking to improve on that. People have made too big a deal about these players coming in. After all, they are just two players and two players dont make up a team. Yes there is going to be more competition for Eleven places but the media are stirring s*** up saying things like they are here just for a season, we are a shop window, they have to be picked every single game when fit, reo coker wants to leave, zamora wants to leave etc.
They dont want to leave, everyone is happy be it a little unsettled by the speculation. Bobby Z has signed a new contract just this week, Robert Green came through his first 90 mins of football since signing, Anton and Paintsil look like they have regained fitness, things are definetly looking up. Marlon 4 England!!!!!!!!!

RE: Recommend me some top US TV Shows....

Supernatural is a great series, I recommend it. The second series has just started. Basically Two Brothers team up to search for their father, who is some sort of ghost hunter. In their search, they encounter new ghosts and demons every day, which they combat using the training they recieved from their father and a sort of demon bible composed by their father. Its quite good, the brothers keep good humour between themselves and the action is really good. In a way its a lot like shows like buffy, where they face a new demon everyday. In other ways its different as they are always on the road and apart from them two themselves, there are no real reappearing characters that you can get to know. It is good stuff and just as soon as you think, well they`ve been searching for him long enough, this is getting a bit boring, the story changes a bit more until the great climax in the series.

Also Smallville is good. Sleeper Cell, although i have only seen the first 3 episodes, looks very good but dont believe all the hype that its better than 24 because its not.

The Official West Ham 2006-2007 Season Thread

WTF is going on then? We are going to rule the premiership easily!!! Let the big boys have their fun whilst we continue to trick teams into thinking we are crap. When Carlos and Deano get cracking, they wont know what hit them. Seriously though, the team is built to succeed and maintain success for years to come. We have a super squad although without a doubt, some areas need strenghthening(You just cant trust Christian Dailly, you never know what he will do) Hogan Ephraim and Kyel Reid and perhaps Jack Jeffrey are a few of the youngsters who I feel should be given more chances in the first team as they are superb players and with the right levels of experience and nurturing could go on to play for England one day.

Anyway Come on you IRONS!!!!!!!!!!
Lets get cracking

RE: Prison Break - Season 2

What a bloody episode
SPOILER:
People are dying left right and centre. What the hell is going on. William Fichtner is f***ing nutter. How the hell did he ever get into the FBI. ROFLMFAO @ Haywire though, I kept on wondering what the hell is he doing and then you realise that he is actually planning to build a raft out of sticks to sail to Holland. That really is suicidal and he must really be off his head. Cant believe sucre actually let that cop talk him into making a big mistake. There is 3 of them and only 1 of him (unless he let the cop go). Odds are they are going to get away with the money and he is gonna be cut out of the deal. Really was sad about Tweener, the scenes leading up to the climax with him going to the girls house and not betraying his crew again like he did before and then to go like that it was really so shocking. I hope Will Fichtner gets beaten to a bloody pulp with a brick

RE: Premership: Who`s your team and how do you think they will do?

West Ham Utd
Top Sixth Finish atleast. We now have a great squad and the signings Pardew has made. Although he has not splashed out and wasted his money on big money names, he has made quality signings that strengthen the squad overall, giving better cover and competition in most areas.
I also fancy us to have a good run in the cup and in europe.

RE: F***

Ronaldo is a f***ing c*** getting Rooney sent off like that and diving all over the pitch. An italian team sacked a korean who got their team knocked out of the last world cup. Sacking Ronaldo would be way to easy. I say stick him on the reserves for the rest of his contract and play him out of position and make him s*** the c***. Man Utd supporters should all boo him everytime he plays. He deserves it. To call him a sportsman is an insult to all other sportsman out there. The only sport he is actually good at is diving and being a total w***er. I hope Rooney, nevilille and co beat him up in training, give him a long term injury, maybe even break his leg permanently.

RE: Portugal vs Holland

What an entertaining match that was. I was egging Holland on to get the equaliser as I didnt think Portugal deserved it. Fair enough Robben and a couple of others overacted a little bit but that was nothing compared to the things Portugal were doing behind the refs back. Figo was the worst culprit making meals out of everything, the headbutt, etc He is a c*** and always has been. Eventually Holland had to sink down to their level of sportsmanship to even the battle up a bit. If England want to progress to the semis, they may have to sink to Portugal`s level as well and that is something they should be thinking about. I`m all for good sportsmansship, fair play and everything but sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and If portugal play like that, then we have no choice. I have no doubt that we have enough talent in our squad to lift the cup fair and square but fair and square is not how the game is played nowadays. England need to get their heads up and say that we are not going to stand this nonsense from teams portugal, and if they are gonna do it, then so are we. Same thing goes for Chelsea. For too long have they been cheating and diving around the place, conning referees etc. If teams want something from the premiership then im afraid they will have to stoop to chelsea`s level. Its really unfortunate that it has to be this way. Im sure everyone would prefer games won on pure talent and class but it aint that way.

Looks great, cant wait. Great to see Marshall (aka kevin weisman) in the movie, he is a great actor and hopefully we will see more of him. Kevin Smith makes brilliant films.

RE: You`re All Going Down...........Andriy Shevchenko Joins Chelsea

The chelsea team are a joke. Bookies should not take bets on chelsea winning the league next season as it is guaranteed as they keep on throwing money at everything. The players are a joke, dirty cheating bastards(mostly foreigners) diving and fouling all over the place. The fans are a joke (most of them anyway) glory hunting tossers who dont know dick about football. Where were you when you were s***? The manager is a joke, thinks of himself as a god and starts accusations whenever possible. Smiles when he wins but never ever accepts defeat gracefully. Moans when things dont go his way but doesnt want to know when his team have caused great injustice. The board is a joke, whenever chelsea cant get their way, they just keep on throwing money. In a way, this is just bribery. Its a joke team and I can just laugh at so called fans who actually even call chelsea a team and think that winning in the manner they have done actually means something..

RE: Does Sven pick his team with the help of a Panini Sticker Album?

I think Sven does not know a thing about football and uses sticker albums and football manager games to pick his teams. He always seems to go with the media hype. If the media suggests that a certain player is good, he will pick him no matter what. Playing Carragher in defensive midfield was stupid as we have good players who can already play in that position. Get carrick in there. He is a big strong lad (allbeit a bastard) and moves the ball about. I liked the idea of a 5 man midfield. It fits in well with our current striker crisis and it also gives us more creativity. I dont think ive ever seen Lumpard miss a penalty and was delighted to see him miss. We created quite a few chances and overall I thought we were very good. Of course in the world cup, we will step up a few gears, we always do. Owen will start scoring and we will be a force to be reckoned with. Defense still looks a little dodgy, we shouldnt have conceeded that goal.Rio is too arrogant and laid back. We need someone who is hard working in defense like carragher to partner John Terry. Cant afford to let in goals so cheaply. We must protect the goal like it is our chest and each goal we conceed is a bullet.

Carling is s***e. I was once nearly skint and was sort of forced to buy it because it was 2 for 1 at the bar and believe me if you have enough of it, it does get to you. Mind you I will never drink it again.

UPDATE 2-1 now, your 50 quid is still on so as we score 3 more.
