You got a massage and yet you're still complaining?

People already queuing this evening at about 6pm when Jordan Sibley left the stadium according to his twitter.

Because those may turn out to be things they said in hope before the bids started coming in and Chamberlain decided he wanted out?

Richardson was definitely poor and he could have been sent off for that tackle on another day. He hoofed the ball to the oppositions at times when he should have made more of an effort to find a team mate and he made some mistakes defending. Gobern had his worst performance in a Saints shirt. He gave the ball away cheaply at times, fell flat on his arse at others and was even standing completely still while the rest of the team were breaking away on occasions. Puncheon's touch was rubbish too on occasions today; not just his first touch, but also his control whilst dribbling and his shooting at times today. Whilst Chamberlain had his moments, he too was poor in places. He should have scored early in the first half, but his poor first touch took him too far to the left and gave him a rubbish angle to shoot from. At times he was too keen to hang on to the ball instead of passing it. Saying that, if Guly had passed to him later on, Chamberlain may have had a goal. I don't think you can say we were simply unlucky as there were some poor performances today also. Still, let's see what happens next week before we all hang ourselves. I genuinely think we were dazed a little by the resolute County midfield and defence.

I couldn't advise somebody buy any form of netbook if they wish to do any sort of Word or Excel work on it. The screens and keyboards make anything that quick on the go editing where there's no alternative a complete no go.

I've had two of those cars from new. I loved them. Under 9 seconds 0-60 and even when hammering it around like an idiot I could average 43mpg. On a long motorway journey, it's easy to get 55mpg or more. Road tax was only £120 per year. Maximum torque is at about 2000rpm which means the in gear acceleration is excellent. You can generally plant your foot whilst cruising and it'll pick up speed very rapidly. Often, a lot of petrol cars will require you to change down gears in order to increase revs and hit the power band. Be careful though. When I sold my last one in 2008, they had picked up a reputation with boy racers and insurance companies though. Despite being a 'low' insurance group, some insurers were blacklisting them apparently. You should very carefully at the ownership history and see whose hands it has been in. Some of them will have been really thrashed. http:\\http://www.briskoda.net is the main online owners community.

Neither. HTC Desire = iphone for about half the money. HTH.

I can't believe that people expect ticket prices will be,or should be, as low as £20 for this one! I'm expecting £30 and will be pleasantly surprised if it is anything less. Being a season ticket holder, my ticket (and hopefully my actual seat) is guaranteed, but it's this sort of fixture which reminds the 'pay as you go' fans of the need to make sure they get their pruchases lodged against their customer number. It's not guaranteed obviously, but there's a fair chance that the 'general sale' tickets for this game will initially go on sale to fans who have attended one or more previous games and you will need to be able to prove you've done so. It's worth stressing how few tickets might make it to general sale once season ticket holders have had a look in. Some real quick maths based on certain assumptions such as 12000 st holders and Man Utd receiving a 15% allocation means that we could only be looking at about 3600 tickets left if ST holders are allowed a 'plus one'.

When trying to claim that Billy's house is a sign of his own financial success it may be worth bearing in mind that his wife is a successful interior designer. I assume the property is as much a sign of her success as his and lots of info about it can be found on her website http://www.devalerodesign.com/

But you still watched it right?

Has anybody done a funny joke about lots of the Brighton fans being homosexuals yet?

To be honest, I think it's time we abandoned post counts and replaced it with a status which shows how often people actually go to games. I'm not sure what having made 15000 posts on teh internet does to help the validity of somebody's judgement on a particular player. Having owned a season ticket for eight years probably gives somebody a more informed judgement. Starting posts with "Having listened to the game on the radio ...." on the other hand ...

How on earth people can vote no is beyond me. If he can recreate the form he's showing again, we'd be made to not want him.

I think it just goes to prove that people shouldn't come on here spouting sensationalist rubbish, especially if they don't even go to games. Whilst Guly can get it wrong, he also does a lot right. He remains a player who can make a significant contribution in L1 and the Champ on current evidence.

They beat us at home in the 0-0 draw?

Netbooks were all the rage in early 2009 when they came on the scene but many people have now realized that their severe hardware limitations make them pretty useless unless you just want to do some basic internet browsing. They run office applications okay as well, but you don't really want to be doing significant amounts of work on a cramped keyboard and on a tiny screen. An average netbook is going to come with a single core Intel Atom processor, 1gb RAM and hard drive up to 250gb. You won't get an optical drive so will have to think about how else you are going to install additional software. Falling laptop prices have made netbooks a bit of a white elephant. You can buy an average netbook for £250 but it's not uncommon to be able to purchase an average laptop for £100 more. This extra money is going to get you a machine that will handle the usual range of home computing tasks, although it will also be a lot bigger physically; 15.6" screen size seems to be all the rage now. Personally, I think netbooks are a waste of time. We just inherited one that was running Windows 7 Starter and it was so ridiculously slow, that I've just installed Ubuntu Notebook in order to make it usable. It's a nifty little machine for surfing now it has a decent OS on it but I wouldn't have spent my own money on it. I tried to make the jump to a netbook when they first came out for work and it was a complete no no. I persevered for a year until I was lucky enough to be able to hand it back in and get a proper laptop instead. If you have a smartphone for casual browsing, definitely go for a proper laptop. If you don't have a smartphone and literally just want to play on the internet, a netbook may be an option. However, you should make sure you give the exact model you're considering a test run before purchase so you can see if you can live with the slow speed. Novatech in Portsmouth will sell you a netbook without an OS so you could download and install Ubuntu for free it you have any sort of technical know how.

Delldays - there is no ways it would work with two feet of space in front of a telly. Even the official statement is that it needs six, but some people are reporting probs with that little space.

It has a crummy AMD processor in it though that isn't particularly fast. My experience of those chips says they are horribly noisy.

9 feet of space in front of tv needed apparently.

I purchased a 20gb Xbox 360 in Oct 06. I suffered one breakdown which happened out of warranty, but Microsoft repaired it for free (I said it looked like overheating probs so they must have happily processed it under the extended warranty scheme for the RROD probs). I have just taken it in and swapped it for one of the new 250gb slim models to benefit from the extra storage as 20gb was becoming a little too tight. The other, additional features on the PS3 (Bluray, iplayer and the like) were all slightly tempting, but I still think the Xbox is the superior gaming machine. I like the Dashboard and the Xbox Live system, which I'm quite happy to pay a token £40 per annum to benefit from. I personally prefer the controller on the Xbox360 as it feels more substantial compared to the rather lightweight and flimsy PS3 offering. I've seen several reviews of games which have been released on both systems which seem to suggest that the Xbox360 versions offer a smoother experience, both gameplay-wise and graphically. I know both systems attract their 'fanboys' and we're not all going to agree on the matter, but the Xbox360 remains the best GAMES console in my opinion. If you want a bluray player and all the other media gubbins, that might make you favour the PS3.

I always liked the idea of a Lambretta when I was too young to have one. Recently I had to decide how I was going to make the daily commute and I started seriously considering a motorbike or scooter. I decided against a bike because of all the additional kit needed and opted for a practical but fun new Yamaha. So now I've got one of these and I love it. I know it's not an old, original Italian model but I was after bullet-proof reliability and under-seat storage that will store a full face helmet and gloves.
