VillaForever1970

Press association apparently saying it's 16m up front with the rest being paid over is 5 year contract! Rediculous.

Standard.

We obviously pay our fees for players bang up front as well.

Villa fans in giving players a chance shocker.

Nobody knows how Adebayor will play for Villa, nobody.

Could be a horror could brilliant, nobody knows.

Am I the only one who thought it was a really good episode.... *Takes cover

I did, ticking along nicely. Some seem to find it confusing which itself i find confusing.

If the first season didn't exist or people watched this before that, it wouldn't nearly be getting as much grief.

Saw someone retweet this, guy is a freelance journalist/writes for the villans voice. Just passing it on

@Heathy_25: £16m bid submitted to #QPR by #avfc for 18 #Premier League goal machine Charlie Austin. #NUFC put-off by asking price. Sherwood has money to burn.

'journalist/writes'

Is very questionable, question it and he'll block you

If he's going to leave this summer then I'd rather he just does it.  I don't want him to go to liverpool but I want us to make sure we bring in a decent replacement for him.  If he leaves late in the window that could make us miss out on our number 1 target.  Just go soon please.

I assume the reason its not happened yet is we're still deciding with Kop how its paid.

Obviously the amount to Genk will need to be paid, but we could be awkward and want a large proportion of it up front. Fair play as well, why should be make it easy for Kop to sign our best player?

It does make me wonder how the clause is worded, 32.5mill but its up to the selling club how it is accepted? Seems a bit of a grey area to me.

I hope thats why its taking longer, for all we know it could fall through, Benteke stays for another season and we have a cracking year and he signs up, anything could happen.

Everything is settled between Aston Villa and Liverpool on the £32,5m deal for Christian Benteke. Medical has been planned. #LFC #AVFC

 

He's pretty reliable about all things Belgian (albeit on Twitter)

 

So long Christian, good luck but you could've aimed a little higher with your new team selection.

Ignore the above i've just put

Yeah that journo has contact with both Benteke and his agent.

There still isn't an official bid, I'm still half convinced they're going to try and under cut the clause and paint us as dickheads when it's rejected

Unfortunately there will be, they are just discussing how the whole amount will be paid to us.

He's going.

So another day gone and he's still here.

To be fair everyone is all over the place, Kop are off somewhere and owners are in the U.S. We're in Portugal, Brum and i'd imagine the U.S as well.

Only good or bad compared to your previous achievements.

Sub 20 min 5k seems to be the magic figure where people consider you a quick runner.

Do you do Parkrun?

I managed my goal of a sub 20min 5k the other week, couldn't speak or breath soon after the 5k but managed it anyway

So basically only quickish for 5k, not anything further.

Terminator Genisys is easily the worse film i've seen this year so far and would push it for a good few years as well... i've seen the latest Transformers!

Perfect example of an action film failing, didn't help that it came out in the same summer as Fury Road which has the best directed actions scenes in years.

Oh and nothing make sense, things happened for a reason in the first two films, things happen in this because the director/writers think it looks cool or something.

Dreadful.

When I was at the cinema last weekend, two of the trailers were for Ant Man and Pixels

 

I reckon if you go and see them they'll beat Terminator Genisys as worst film of the year. They both looked utter, utter shite.

I doubt it, i bet they have a coherent story that makes some type of sense. All of David Lynch films combined make more sense than Terminator Genisys. Ant Man is also getting positive reviews, but i know your extremely biased against all 'superhero' films before even seeing them though

I imagine that the deal is probably done, personal terms sorted weeks ago.

Perhaps its waiting till we sign a replacement.

There's a whole new director this season and he plays it safe imo. The first guy had a better eye

There are multiple directors this season.

Going to try and beat my 5k record tomorrow, so hoping for 19.59, still officially under 20mins

That's still my goal. Stuck on 20:32.

Did it!

19:20

1st episode of TD I watched and thought the writing was horrible, the mayor, the trailer trash mom, farrells character that we've seen 100s of times already, the girlfriend of the closet gay who doesn't understand why they aren't close, the one liner about nearly punching a fag, the vince Vaughn scene at the start

The only bit that worked was the McAdams - Farrell car scenes

if he's not dead after the second shot from that range then that's bullshit

Could be rock salt, they also made a big deal of him wearing a vest in the first episode. He also appears in other scenes that havent happened throughout the trailer

Solid second episode Farrell particularly strong, Vaughn struggling with the dialogue all others good as well.

Nice mystery, solid performances doesn't always have to be amazing, but makes me want to watch the next episode thats sometimes all a tv program needs to do.

Liked episode 1 of season 2, it different was never going to be the same (whats the point of that).

Specifically liked the scattering of oddness as mentioned above more LA Lynch weirdness would be very welcome.

Worse thing ever being injured when a regular runner, best thing to do is rest and rest takes a long time

Lightest i've been in a long while and makes such a difference on longer runs, 14 miles yesterday in just under 2 hours wasn't knacked for the rest of the day either.

Levy will want more than 10mill, he's not worth more than Sinclair.

Going by that hopefully we're not interested as he is also a bit shit.

Spurs fans want well gone as well.

Is the new mad max worth driving 45 minutes to see?

Yes, other action films wont touch it for years.

Myself & the missus decided we'd start running last Thursday, we found a nice flat 3k patch gone 5 times since, I've been pilling on the pounds since last November and was about 3 stone over weight, almost have the first one gone now though and determined to get rid of the rest.

 

I was around 20mins the first night as I forgot to stop the clock so not really sure.

Around 18mins the 2nd night.

16m 30secs the 3rd night.

16m 25secs the 4th night.

14m 57secs last night said I'd try sprint the last 150m that way.

Sorry to be a spoil sport but you'll be getting an injury sooner rather than later running without breaks, especially if your a little over weight large amount of pressure on your knees.

Keep it up though, just have a day break in between especially if on concrete.

maybe a bit controversial but back from Mad Max and think it was absolutely appalling, No plot, no dialogue its even debateable whether Hardy was the main character in it. Just a 2 hour chase movie and not a good one at that

 

Ive seen better organised Michael Bay action movies

You can understand the action scenes in Fury Road, you cannot in a Michael Bay film.

Also whats Max being the main character or not have anything to do with anything?

I think beautifully organised chaos is about the best way I can describe Mad Max. Wonderful. The very minor let down was a noticeably awful piece of CGI.

Which part do you mean, if you don't mind my asking? Might be an idea to put it in a spoiler actually.

It was only a few seconds, but it stuck out a lot.

 

If I remember correctly, it's the few seconds before the end of scene break when Nicholas Hoult's character turns his vehicle over and causes that pile up of sorts. I think a vehicle spins over the top of it and it looks like something out of a Scy-Fy movie. It's just before that guitar springs towards the screen. Like I said, very minor, but it was really noticeable and a something that could've just been easily removed from the film rather than forced in.

 

 

There was about 30 people in the showing of Mad Max and I was sitting at the back. Literally everyone in the cinema hit the roof for the Insidious 3 trailer, including myself, hilarious.

One of these?

Mad Max's CG is mostly adding in components, almost all were actually shot, e.g vehicles above or mountains. Some of the plates for dust etc where shot with an iPhone.

Last time i tried to start running i just found it incredibly boring. How do you guys get the motivation to do it?

Because i feel awesome after doing it, once your warm you'll find a rhythm and its a lot easier, then once finished feel amazing.

Also get through shit load of audio books whilst running.
