Ponty

I was chatting to an Italian guy (am currently near Naples) during the Juve vs Lazio game last night and he was slightly dismissive of Lamina as a prospect, although he conceded that he hadn't had enough game time to really call his future. He was very enthusiastic about Gabbi, mind.

Christ. The amount of pop up ads on that site!

edit. Kudos to everyone who has kept this thread running for so long. I haven't been around for years, yet here it still is. Like an old friend or a comfy codpiece.

Nothing wrong with Datsuns.

I have one myself and it's more than £200 per tyre...

Nice to see you again Ponty, any chance of you popping over for a visit to catch up?

If only I could remember where you resided, I would. Your address was saved on an old laptop.

I hope so. He'd be a solid replacement for Kimi. Eddie Jordan seems to think Hulk is off to Force India though. He also reckons Maldonado and Williams are parting company and Lotus could use that sponsorship money he carries around.

We'll see in a few weeks, no doubt.

Ahh, long gone but never forgotten.

Good race today. A shame that anyone checking the results after the race could be forgiven for doubting the truth in that.

It still pays the bills.

Anybody recognise any of them?

I think the third from the left was a Hugo Boss.

BF3 kicks its arse all over the shop. The MW3 disc spent about 90 minutes in my Xbox before BF3 was put back in. So 90 minutes online vs nearly 48 hrs and still the novelty wore off that quickly.

I shall be trading it in at the weekend.

A sub £100 dash mounted HD camera is starting to look like a very sound investment.

A dog.

Yes. I am 'angry' on an internet forum. Grow up.

Alright, no need to get angry.

Yes.

If you PX it at a Renault dealership they won't be at all bothered by it. Obviously, if you don't want another Renault that only leaves you any second hand stuff they have or, as most Renault dealers seem to sell them as well, an MG.

Yeah, Start-Finish straight into Sainte Devote, I believe. Though it'll be free to use anywhere in practice and quali. That should be fun.

The holy grain of overtaking is making cars able to follow each other very closely through the corners. At the moment it's nearly impossible as the following car get caught in the turbulence of the car in front. I think ground effect should help improve that when we bring back ground effect cars.

Not gonna happen, I'm afraid. The regs are being signed off on Wednesday and ground effects are being omitted. DRS is here to stay instead but, being positive, I think they'll have it tuned to perfection by then.. On that note, I recently said that DRS wouldn't be used in Monaco - turns out there's been a change of heart and it will indeed be used. Should be exciting.

Yes, I actually facepalmed at that moment. Fortunately no harm done but no love lost either, I'm sure.

I've just got Wycombe Wanders promoted to the championship on FM10, second consecutive promotion after winning the L2 play offs last season. I've added Barry Bannan after he was released from Villa, Craig Mackaill Smith, some Serbian striker and a Tunisian international left back whose names i cant remember but my marquee signing was Corry Evans from Man united reserves, a talented defender/defensive midfielder who had no less than 7 clubs chasing him and had offers from Nottingham Forest and QPR and according to my scouts would make a good premier league player but was delighted to sign for Wycombe and is desperate to prove himself to his manager. They were all on frees and only had a £50k transfer budget which i have adjusted for better wages and crowds of 8k. The greatest achievement IMO was promotion meant that Nathan Porritt and Tristan Plummer, Wycombes Lallana and Lambert who both wanted to move to bigger clubs during the season both signed new contracts on promotion. Make of that what you will.

I'm going to make some sort of word soup.

Well, that was fun.

Yeah, takes all the fun out of it.

lol

Lovely... Knob.

Fnarrr

Then it will be very very tedious. As it always is.

The new tyres might shake things up, with multiple pit stops a possibility, but, let's face it, Monaco isn't on the race calendar because it produces exciting racing.

There won't be one at Monaco. That's almost a certainty.
