  1. @MJMooney - I use Android on a cheap PAYG deal, and it is definitely do-able with a bit of tweaking. Hopefully your visit to Orange sorted you out, but if not, I think you just need to get a couple of useful widgets on your home screens. It sounds like everything you're downloading is going through your 3G data connection and using up internet usage data. (That might be intentional on your part..? In which case ignore me.) But if you've got wi-fi network at home/work(both?) then you can cut out a lot of data charge by setting your phone to use the wireless networks you're commonly in range of and switching off 3g data connectivity. This does rely on you having wifi - so may or may not be of use to you. My phone's setup to use my wireless network at home, and a number of other locations where I might have access to wireless. (My folks, my in-laws, the office, Hatton Country World...) Then put a widget on your home screen called "Data Traffic". It gives you a really easy, one-touch way to enable or disable mobile data connections, without effecting your wi-fi connectivity. So basically, I leave my data connection switched off, and when browsing t'Internet or using email etc on my smartphone it routes through wi-fi. This won't be any charge to your mobile. And then if I'm out somewhere without wi-fi and I need to check email or suchlike, only then do I enable data connection. (And once finished, disable it again.) So hang in there a bit longer - it may well be that with a bit of tweaking you can find a way to make it work for you on PAYG.
  2. Fair play mate - it is a fecking depressing run. Could be about to get worse in my house married to a red-scouse. I might have to move out into the shed. But it's too bloody cold for that
  3. Fifth round, also known as a quarter final, in the league cup, the only **** chance we have of getting a trophy. Don't pretend tonight was a game that didn't matter, because it did. Hold on mate - did I say tonight wasn't important? I don't think I did, but if it came across that way, it wasn't meant to. It was important. It was a QF. (Which I also said in my OP.) All I'm saying is that invading the pitch, fireworks etc is out of proportion. It was like they'd won the league. We all know beating us is their f-ing world cup final, but them screaming it out this way does show them as really small time to me. That's all I'm saying.
  4. A pitch invasion for a 5th round Carling Cup win? Have mercy! It says it all. Shouldn't that be resevred for promotion, avoiding relegation last game of the season, winning a tense semi-final/final. But a CC quarter final? Bloody hell. At least pretend you've got some class...
  5. That's the key for me. We're creating so much attacking threat but not converting it into goals. We absolutely owned that 2nd half but even so I can only remember Foster making one or may be two good saves. Dunno if we're not getting in enough decent crosses? And I really rate Gabby. But for some reason, we just don't seem to be getting the goals that our possession and approach play deserve.
  6. 2nd half Fulham, 2nd half Arsenal, three quarters of the Man U game. Tonight. We create so much pressure, have so much possession, so much attacking threat, but aren't getting the ball in the back of the net. Combined with struggling at the back, it's not good. Trying REALLY hard to be positive, I can't help feeling that we're really close to being very good. We just need to convert the pressure into goals more. Goal poacher in January please.
  7. Is it me with C&B specs on or is some of the commentary winding anyone else up? I mean - as I type this - we get; "Warnock goes diving in..." whilst what's happening is Warnock's staying on his feet and Carr is slicing him down. Strange. They're talking like the ball was definitely over the line in the first half. At the start of the half one commentator said how Blues would feel hard done by and you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who disagreed... What!? I thought we had the best of the first half by some distance. And after 6-7 replays of the "goal", I'm still not sure it crossed the line. Doesn't the lino have to be 100% certain that it's a goal to give it..? I'm still not at all convinced the ball was over the line and I've had the benefit of a load of replays so he clearly made the right call to me. Anyway, rant over! (For now.)
