this game's a bit shit

playing way too deep at the moment, just inviting pressure

Pull up bar and resistance bands arrived today, going to give myself the weekend off to recover from some pretty heavy gym sessions last week then p90x begins properly on monday, wish me luck!

Current weight 14.5 stone, aiming to get down to 14 by christmas and 13 by february or so, let's see how i get on...

Did the chest and back workout today, hard as nails! I thought I'd been making decent progress after hitting the gym regularly over the last couple of months, although that has been after a LONG period of non-exercise, but the workout today damn near killed me. Managed to just about get through the two rounds of the exercises, but my numbers in the second round were pathetically low, 0 on a couple of the exercises.

Not sure now whether to plough on through with P90X or dial it down a notch, do P90 and then step it up to P90X afterwards.

Ordered some resistance bands off Amazon though, gradually forming my own home gym!

I'm taking the plunge, ordered a pull up bar and some push up bars today, hopefully they'll be here soon and I can get started. I don't have any weights though, can't really afford to buy any (student), can you substitute the weight reps for more pull/push ups?

Anyone using the diet? How are you getting on?

Behold, my finest creation, the culmination of a week of hard work - Barry Bannan. Time for a rest I think.

I know a girl who has tickets for a Kyuss gig on their reunion tour. Jealous isn't the word.

From the Birmingham Mail

For those that can't be bothered to read it, I'm loving the last line...

"I would never want to leave Villa anyway. I love it at this club"

Barry, Barry Bannan

Berry, Barry Bannan

To the tune of Daddy, Daddy Cool, to the tune of Sali, Sali Fou!

Fixed.

Blackburn are first in line for the massacre that United should have received. 3-0 at least.

Haven't we also got a next-next generation of youngsters that are supposed to be even better than the next generation? I know Gardner is being touted as a potential superstar, aren't there a few others that are rated even higher than Bannan, Albrighton, Clark, Delfouneso etc.?

Holy shit!! Did anyone else just hear that big bang???

I've noticed a lot a big reptiles around lately, not sure if it's global warming or what, and there's this one massive **** with tiny arms...

He's much better at this age than Gabby was, seems to have his head screwed on a bit more than the Moore boys too. I think the current coaching staff will be looking to keep the players feet on the ground, GH and Gary Mac don't strike me as the kind of people to tolerate the superstar attitude that some prem players are guilty of, could be a reason why Ireland isn't having much joy so far.

If he keeps his feet on the ground and continues to develop at his current rate, Delf will be a superstar in 2 or 3 seasons.

What time does the Pac man start?

Barely worth finding a stream!

None of them work, are there any sopcast channels?

can't find a stream!!

Vidic running into the crowd with the already booked Brown

Inciting the united fans to run on the pitch as they always do.

Total double standards as usual

Nothing like a push, Brown is simply holding is shoulder, in fact Vidic drags Brown in to the crowd along with him. One rule for United, one rule for the rest of us.

Talking of Delph, can't wait for his return, imagine a midfield of him and Bannan, they'd tear everyone apart!

No chance of us challenging 4th, even 6th will be a struggle as Liverpool will undoubtedly find their form. Unless Houllier gets in some quality players in January (at the very least a decent striker), which is difficult as nobody wants to sell their players at that time, we'll be looking at 7th or 8th.

What happened with Clark as I didn't see any news pre-game? I assume SI had the flu as was released pre-game. I hope we can get Clark or Coker back for the Blackburn game as we will need more physicality in there against them.

Pulled his calf I think, not sure when it happened though as Hogg was announced as a starter quite a while before kick off.

Surprised more hasn't been made of Bannan's pass to Downing (I think) in the first half, where he was just slowly taking the ball wide then suddenly played it centrally through a bunch of United players, literally made me sit up and say "Holy shit, what a pass!".

I am posting from my phone in a stolen five minutes I have, so apologies of this has been covered.

Why was Vidic spared a second yellow for jumping in with the fans? Ash got booked for jumping in with the fans ten minutes earlier.

According to the fourth official it's because he was 'pushed' in to the fans. The reality, of course is that, like Nani and Brown, he plays for Manchester United and so can't be sent off.
