Liverpool fans burning a Torres shirt now.

Why do they think they are the centre of the footballing universe? They are mid table while Chelsea are in the CL and challenging for the title...

If players like Walker and Samba are being sanctioned then it's likely Houllier will stay.

Unfortunately.

Do you know we struggled to break teams down at home last season too...with these players. Just saying.

Were it not for our excellent away form we would have really struggled. Now that the away form is no longer there, we are struggling.

I think the players and the manager as a whole need to take the blame. It's too easy to blame Houllier although I don't think he is the right man for the job.

I hope he dies.

You're a bit of a pathetic individual, to be honest, Stevo.

Try focussing that unrelenting anger and hatred on the kind of people on this Earth that actually do deserve to die for their actions, rather than a football manager.

Some idiot just told me the world is not flat but in fact is round. Think I'm going to let those nice people at the church know about this....

Heard a rumour that John Lennon has been shot! Hope he's ok....

Skype app now available on android

Works over both 3G and WiFi.

Galaxy s not supported yet.

I wonder why it's not available over 3G on the iPhone?

Having had an iphone 3gs and now 4 and browsing the forum I noticed a few people have gone from iphone to Andriod phone.

With a great deal of disappointment with the current iphone - I wanted to ask the people who moved from iphone to andriod what their thoughts are on the andriod phone compared to apple?

Any regrets? Do you miss the apple brand? Or is the Android phone as good (which I suspect it is - just that apple seem to market their phones better IMO).

Also can you sync an Android phone with iTunes? Given all of my music is played through iTunes, I don't want to use another format and was hoping that if I did switch I could keep my music as it is?

Any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.

So I emailed O2 and mentioned all my problems (or their **** ups to be precise) and got a phone call from someone in their 'complaints review team'. He basically offered me 3 months free line rental and £50 bank charges repaid.

I told him that wasn't enough and to up his offer. He said that was his final offer and it was non-negotiable. I then emailed back asking if I was entitled to take my complaint to Otelo as I was not happy with their paltry offer.

He called back and offered £50 and 6 months free line rental.

Result!

As for the iphone versus android debate - I think apple have scored a monumental own goal with this latest iphone and I see android phones stealing a march on the iphone (this is despite me owning one and a macbook) - I think apple have developed a degree of arrogance about their product - which will prove to be their undoing over the next 12 months.

Distance selling regulations? Please clarify?

here

Very funny!

I was hoping someone could give me some practical advice rather than me trawling through loads of google searches!

:oops:

Distance selling regulations? Please clarify?

This.

I haven't had any of the problems mentioned. In fact wasn't the cheek thing something they addressed a couple of years back on the old iphones?

As for aesthetics, well it's each to their own isn't it. i personally think it's one of the best looking phones out there.

Actually it's just one of a whole line of phone problems i have had - really O2 and their customer service is beyond terrible.

1) ordered 32g iphone 4 from O2 - agreed to pay the £100 it would cost to get out of my 3gs contract.

2) Was ordered a 32g iphone 3gs - was told I would have to send courier back and contact O2 to order phone again.

3) complained to manager and was told they would contact me after the weekend to confirm order and re-order iphone 4 32g, they would deal with their mistake (I have this in writing via email)

4) I was not contacted by the manager - and a 16g iphone 4 was ordered without consulting me

5) I complained and they agreed to refund me £100 I paid and get me my 32g iphone 4. They also said they'd only charge me for a 16g iphone 4.

6) I got billed later that month for 3 iphones - a 32g 3gs, a 16g iphone4 and a 32g iphone 4 - despite me returning the 1st 2. This was on top of my normal phone bill and came to £330.

7) The money came out of my account as I was away when the bill was sent causing me to go over my overdraft and get charged £50 for 2 bounced direct debits.

8) The iphone 4 micro sim did not arrive for 2 months, so I have only had use of the phone for the last 2 weeks. This is when I noticed the vibrate problem. I contacted O2 today and they said since my contract for the new iphone was taken 2 months ago I couldn't swop it I would have to take it in for repair and get some shitty basic phone for calls.

So what's my legal position in all this - any advice would be appreciated.

:cry:

Not impressed at all with the new iphone. Poorly made device from a so called corporation that is supposed to be on the cutting edge. I have a MacBook, and find them much better to uise than Windows, and was happy with the 3GS, but the 4 is a poor phone

1) Intermittent non-functioning vibrate - a known problem having looked at various forums - the motor gets stuck intermittently - I have missed calls due to this

2) Dropped calls - yes the aerial is shit

3) while on a call if the screen happens to touch your cheek it can put the caller on hold, or speakerphone.

And the design is clunky and not at all aesthetically appealing. Actually regretting getting this now.

OK, I really can't see what is so great about Jol? Can someone please enlighten me?

If it is GH I hope he only gets a contract until the end of May. Then we can asses how well he has done and if he should stay on or if we should go get Martin Jol or someone else.

I'm wondering has Jol achieved more or less in the game than Houllier?

Jol appears to be flavour of the month. His CV is far less impressive than Houllier's.

Why do some people think GH is a step down from MON?

I think it's a step up personally. MON hit a glass ceiling in terms of his ability - top 6 is about as far as he can ever take a permier league side. Even his scottish record wasn't spectaculour - McClaeish won a similar number of trophies there.

If this goes on much longer, Il totally pass caring. Maybe thats the boards ploy to please the fans??

or make them more apathetic

Do you ever have anything positive to say about the club?

Why do some people have an axe to grind against Randy Lerner? How is this his fault?

Had MON timed it better then from what I'm hearing Mark Hughes would have been in situ, but no way would we want

a manager to walk out on a club he's just joined that would be a dishonourable act as the General has alluded to.

I'm sure MON thinks he timed it perfectly.

Exactly - deliberately leaving when we had no other options to fall back on. In any other line of work if you leave without giving your notice period its a serious disciplinary issue.

Can you be sacked for doing so? :?

It's probably written into the contract in most cases of employment about how much notice to give prior to termination. I suspect this is where MON made sure he had all the aces.

In 'normal' jobs it varies from 1-3 months is my understanding.

Perhaps we have been waiting to ask Nicky Keye who she wants, we seem to ask her everything else!

I can see you're hacked off with the club but this is a little unecessary don't you think???

General

Please don't even consider K Mac for the job! He really seems out of his depth here and should stick to what he is good at ie coaching tue reserves.

People balking at the thought of Sven coming to us, his managerial record is pretty impressive - he has won more stuff than MON, yet people seem to think the sun shines out of MON's ass.... yet Sven who did a decent job with England is no good.

If you ask me, he'd be perfect for us.

he didnt do too badly at liverpool. has a goo reputation in europe i would welcome him. be better than sven, southagte or curbishly

You're kidding right? Bought a load of shit overpriced players at plop and renowned for his long ball football!

No thanks!

Sven is the only one who is available and who'd fit the bill.

I would prefer Hiddink but no way he'd come to us.

I think Eriksson is the only one who stands out as meeting the criteria.

He has the experience, and at the very least, we know his scope for scouting footballing talent extends to areas outside the British Isles.
