oops wrong thread

I agree he is talented but the not being able to explain a trick doesn't really bother me, because it obviously is a trick and isn't impossible. I can't explain what I mean really

Magic in general for me, especially when on TV. I haven't been amazed by it since I was about 6. Before end of the trick I'm already bored thinking about the magician having to practice the same illusion in his bedroom over and over again. The rabbit was always in the hat or up your sleeve because theres no other possible way and that's the end of it for me. The only way I could be blown away was if it was live infront of me and I was involved. Even then, if my mind was 'being read', well Derren Brown has ruined that illusion for me I did go to a magic show in spain a few months back and that was good. I liked the unlimited free alcohol the best. Growing up sucks

I've played 7 league games with Villa and I'm third with 14 points, probably my best ever start on FM. The thing is Gabby has scored 1, Bent has scored any. N'Zogbia, Albrighton and Ireland haven't either. Dunne and Bassong (signed for £4m) have scored 11 between them and I'm pretty sure every single one of them has been from a header from a corner. I can't complain really, I'm scoring, but it just seems a bit odd

I'm not anti or pro Mcleish, but he was clueless today. Heskey in midfield? Hoof ball tactics? Infuriating to watch

Welll...there he is..

This is such a tough one to call for me. If it was anybody else I would definitley say leave him behind, but he is by far our best player and I'm sure in the knock-out rounds I would be wanting him there. On the other hand, if the the team get out the group comfortably and the strikers have being playing well, why should Rooney claim his place back instantly? What if a striker gets injured in the first game and we straight away only have 2 or 3 striking options like in 2006. I wouldn't want to be Capello making this choice

I always find a strange comfort in nobody expecting us to get anything from a game, it means I can't be too disappointed and can still hold my head high when I walk into work on Monday. As everyone's already said, anything from this would be a bonus. I just hope we give them a game, which I can see happening. 2-1 Man City

Thing is, I bet if I dug my old walkman out it would still work. In 8 years I've had 4 iPods and have only bought new ones because they have just stopped working for some reason after 18 months or so. I'm a sucker. R.I.P Steve. I shall probably forever be buying your products

The girl who sits next to me at work. Her party trick is going cross-eyed and so performs this wonderfully unique act whenever the conversation or opportunity allows her to. Probably once a day. Then, with her face remaining static, she waits patiently for a gasp, perhaps an audible 'what the -, but how?' and finally an applause from me or any other member of her targeted audience. As a result, she always looks disappointed when I grant her that forever decreasing, near non-existent polite smile. I feel one day I may have a black out and come back round to a scene not to dissimilar from one in The Demolition Man

I'm usually one of the rare 'glass half full' people you get on here, but that wasn't just an awful performance, it was also a snoozefest zzzzzz

'A possibilty' according to Redknapp. Take that as a yes then

I'll probably put more of an effort in to give him a warm welcome, the anti McLeish lot have been doing my head in since the protests to be honest. I've heard 'Gordan Cowan's Claret and Blue Army' being sung a few times already, really made me cringe. I'm 99% sure McLeish is going to work wonders for this club

Yet its ok to stick your tallywhacker in some bird you've known for 1 hour on a night out? Bleurgh, disgusting. No thank you. I'm fine on my own with my double purpose hand sanitizer

I'm really not, I never wash, I stink. But I draw the line at a top end of middle-aged woman gobbing on every piece of paper I have to touch five days a week

When people lick their thumb to help them turn pages. Why does that happen? Who said that was okay? Loads of people do it at work on files that a lot of other people have to touch.

I work in a bank with Rob182, I'm sure he has a few. One that springs to mind for me was a 'Mrs P Enis'. I've never seen any names as weird as your examples though, where do you work?? And you're right, best part of my job too

Mat Kendrick Shay Given will have his medical this weekend and, all being well, will be confirmed as #avfc No.1 signing by Monday.

At five O'clock I thought we were on the verge of signing N'Zogbia, I get home and log on three hours later expecting another 20+ pages to read through...but we're still on exactly the same page

colourblind? anyway, looks real but club say fake....I guess we'll find out soon enough. Looks like claret to me? Looks like a West Ham scarf? Yeah, I thought that. Looks nothing liek the liverpool badge. Also, there are four left hands in the picture and only three people

Two things always bother me. 1. If you have your eyes removed what do you see? Because if you close your eyes you 'see' black. So surely you would 'see' nothing. How can you see nothing? 2. What came first? The menstrual cycle or the month?

The stupidity of some people. There's a woman at work who just complained we are being charged £1 for one raffle ticket instead of getting a strip of 5. I can't be bothered to explain to her that her chances of winning are exactly the same

I have it on very good authority that Alex Mcleish will be the next manager. Selly Oak branch I believe

I thought you were talking about a bic or something, took me a while

So hard to pick the man of the match for me. A good all round display from the lads
