First half an hour was quite good. Second half was pretty rubbish. The police chases at the end were terrible.

I'm level 3, somebody else in this very house is level 13. But then I can drive and stay up late so it kinda evens out. There's a level 3??? My high score is 1 I downloaded it yesterday and within a couple of hours got 102 For some reason I'm rather good at it!

Films I watched on the weekend: Carlito's Way - very good, but I'll need to watch it again as I just wasn't in the mood. I had the attention span of a 2 year old! Still enjoyed it though Scarface - this is one of those films that I really should have watched, but somehow it slipped under the radar all this time so this was the first time I'd seen it. Loved it, can see why it's a classic. Can also see the Breaking Bad comparisons for any fans of that. 21 Jump Street - on a completely different note, decent enough comedy. Not a classic but well worth a watch if you just want to chuck something casual on for 90 minutes and have a chuckle.

I did but she dropped out at the last minute. We went through this in the relationship thread. A stunning Portuguese air hostess came to see the room, wanted it, but dropped out at the last minute Maybe she twigged you were posting pictures of her and talking about her on the internet When you're that fit, you have to expect that sort of thing

He was forced on by the gabby injury against Liverpool was a fairly late sub against West Brom, and did very well against West Brom. I don't understand what the problem isthere is no problem. But John won't let that stop him

I have a lodger now. He's a totally normal, friendly guy. But I hate having to have a lodger. If I didn't need the rent I'd definitely do without, even though I get a nice chunk of cash every month. I'm definitely not a happy host. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with friends or family visiting for a couple of days. But living with someone is crap, IMO.

Haha I know it's completely different but it made me think of this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6yOiRMDJ9o I really like this album. Heard the new one man? Because the Internet. Even better than Camp IMO! Downloaded Camp. Listening to it right now. I like a lot. Heartbeat is the track that's stood out so far. But it takes me 4 or 5 listens before I really appreciate an album. I'll be downloading Because the Internet soon I would imagine

Had plenty of chances here and never took them. He's just not that good.

Got my dbrand skin today (for my ANDROID phone) Its pretty naff to be honest. The back piece is ok but I can already tell it'll be a couple of weeks before it starts peeling off. The frame pieces are shit though. Looked like I'd just wrapped a bit of paper round the edge with pritt stick. Took them off immediately. Back piece will do for now, but I'll end up getting a case I think

This is short sighted, patronising and derogatory, all at the same time

My most harrowing childhood memory? When I was 4 I jumped off a climbing frame at nursery. Unfortunately, I was trying to jump as far as I could (onto a crash mat) This resulted in two things: 1. My tongue sticking out due to intense concentration. 2. A very uncontrolled flight and landing. The ultimate result was that as I landed, my knee hit my chin, still with my tongue outstretched in concentration and I bit clean through it. Luckily, I managed to isolate the part that I bit through to a very large hole, as opposed to just biting the whole thing off, but it was a very close run thing. Needless to say I cried, a lot. And there was blood, a lot. It was a little traumatising. But as I said, not half as traumatising as it would have been had my tongue flopped out onto the floor completely detached from my body.

Deadline day in general. I hate when the window "SLAMS SHUT"... immediately followed by them saying, "of course, things can still happen so stay tuned for the next few hours" It's nonsense.

Nobody, I was saying if we had a general thread about phones, and you weren't allowed to post about the google calendar that you used on your phone, that would be militant. This thread is still averaging about a page a day so I don't think it's run it's course. (I'm not criticising by the way, just a suggestion)

This is what I meant. It's something that's on his phone therefore I'd say it's related to something like "general phone chat" Yes I know the origin is google calendars which isn't strictly anything to do with mobile phones, and I understand the need for separate topics for everything, but I don't think there's any need to be so militant that someone can't discuss a calendar that they have on their phone, in a thread about phones.

As is believing a club with an expected near 100m income vs 40-45m wage bill, and a regular 35k plus home attendance can't afford to buy anyone. In fact you'd have to be **** barmy to believe we can't. We CAN, we just have an owner that doesn't WANT to. Major difference to not being able to financially Randy doesn't give two shits about anything other than staying afloat in the PL and he's happy to take a gamble with that. Plain and simple. And it's us that suffer from his constant bad decisions. But please no more of this we can't afford it bullshit. At best, you're putting words in my mouth here.

This is nothing to do with Android. I guess it's Google Calendar, but there are tens of Villa fixture calendars out there. I think it might be time to close this thread. People (including me) keep taking it off topic. It might be better to have separate threads for different things. Have we already got a "general phone chat"? Might I suggest we change this topic to that. The iphones have their topic so I imagine it'll only really be Android that gets discussed in there/here anyway, but would give a bit of leeway to when people want to discuss stuff to do with their phone that isn't strictly directly related to Android (like the aforementioned Google calendar issue)

We don't need a CB

But this is the point I was trying to make. I agree that they shouldn't be bullied into selling. But my point is why are they resisting so much? If he was a regular then I'd totally understand and see their reasoning. BUt I just don't see why they are so unwilling to let him go when he doesn't play, wants to leave and they'll get a half decent sum for him. Well we don't really know that as we don't know how much we have offered and no other club has come in offering anything better. Perhaps we didn't meet the asking price? Perhap there was a special price for us after all the crap we put them through with their coaching staff and young keeper? Who knows really? At the end of the day it is their player so they call the shots here. Half decent compared to how much they'll get for him in the summer or next year if they don't sell him now, especially if he's not going to be heavily involved. I'm not debating their right to keep him. I fully back them on that. I just don't understand WHY they are so keen to do so, given the context.

Well firstly I don't think your past **** ups are relevant reasons as to not to spend now. Also as 'the plan' is to spend what we can afford, we could build on our 10th place, finish higher up in the league and secure more TV revenue. With a world cup coming up in the summer we could find an increase in fees and wage demands of some of our targets and finally it gives players a chance to bed in and allows the team to have a better chance of starting stronger next season. Of course his past **** ups are relevant! It's not a **** game, it's real money that he has spent. That's money down the drain that he has lost, whether that's his own fault or not is a whole other matter. So we fans should suffer because the owner made mistakes. Forgive me for not worrying that a billionaire might lose some money. Spending what you can't afford just to please the fans is an incredibly dangerous road to take.

No shame in a loss here, but I fancy us to nick at least a point. Score draw.

^^^ I properly lol'd at that, and I'm not really sure why

Unless there is one final twist... Hoolahan was a ghost the entire transfer window What a twist!

No it doesn't Harry, in fact quite the opposite in my opinion, why should we bow down and give in when toys are thrown out of his pram? Mind you, I'm not sure I want to see him in a City shirt again now. He's burning a lot of bridges. I don't think it makes you look small time. But I would question why Norwich are so insistent on him staying if everything we're hearing is true. If he was playing every week then I could understand. You wouldn't want to sell a key player and would be standing firm. But it doesn't seem like Wes has been an integral part of the Norwich team this season. So it is a bit puzzling as to why Norwich would sacrifice the 1-2m they'll get for him if they sell now just to not do business with us. They'll be giving up money just to have an unhappy player who they won't use and who they have to pay for the rest of the season. Like I said, I don't see it as small time, but I do find it a bit odd. Are relations really that bad between norwich and Lambert that they won't do any business with him, even if it's to the detriment of their own club?
