kinda meh based on their usual standards

Agreed, but that just makes it even better. They're letting Arsenal play a bit though.

Gunners got completely trashed first half. I think they had a slight edge second half and thanks to a lol@valdes we take the lead in the first leg.

The confidence from this will be huge for the late EPL season too. ManU better not leave any points on the field.

Ice caught me lazy-linking eh? :P

I don't mind lazy linking (even though I should).. since I usually do it too... but it wasn't working.. so I tried to fix it.. it worked for a bit and then stopped working. At that point I said the hell with it and put it on imageshack.

you should use imgur, just right click on a pic and you can upload it and copy the link to the clipboard.

rvp goal was a sliced cross

is it wrong that sometimes i lose faith in the ability of my fellow poster to have a brain? i mean seriously, i have only so many silver spoons.........

beginners is definitely on a downswing atm with regards to threads...

... perhaps mike's well will turn that around.

SACK THE MODS.

attention manc's - where would be a good location to stay in machester for a night. Have a few friends interested in going to see manchester play [city ldo] so looking for something good for going out but also handy for game.

Obviously going out would take priority as id rather be able to walk home from a night out then get a taxi home for 15miles

any input is appreciated - although ill probably research teh bee's advice as he will send me somewhere united based

Heading there for the UKIPT Crazy? it's about the 11th of march if you're gonna be there, you can pop in and have a look for us.

unfortunately not, its going to be the first weekend in march, a friends wife is organising it for his birthday. Going to see city v sunderland on the 2nd of april

might check out the ukipt too though as i have 5.5 or maybe 6.5 days holidays to take before the 31st march. and i apparently cant carry them over :O

There's a bar called Dukes92 where me and my friends always meet up - nice atmostphere, defo and early lunch time kind of place, and a few other bars round there too. Doesn;t take long to walk in to the City where there's a million pubs.

Loads of bars near China Town, and tonne of strip joints. There's one called Long Legs which is alright but all the dances are out in the open and it's pretty small. Baby Platinum is much better.

There is an awesome karaoke joint in China Town, can;t remember the name of it but it's funny as hell/. My mate wanted to go there so we bowled up and there's loads of people there. They said it was £200 to get in which worked out a tenner each, and you get your own room for however long you want, a tonne of free drinks, then when you've had enough there's a night club on one of the floors. Super weird though when you're not exoecting what it's like. Massive chinese doormen wandering around on the various floors. Half expected the typical cleaver wielding moustachioed bloke that's in every kung-fu film to appear from somewhere at any time.

Or if you're flashing the cash head down to deansgate.

Oh, I forgot you're teh gay. Head to Canal Street - that's more your kind of scene

barcelona on tuesday

No, no, no wdwf....that was Magaluf

And that was one of the funniest nights ever!

fyp again

Don't stay anywhere near the stadium. It's better round there than it was a few years ago, but it's still like the wild west tbh.

I would just stay in one of the cheap hotel chains - there are loads of them round the city centre like premier inn, holiday inn express etc. Prob best just getting something through laterooms or similar.

Northern quarter is really good for loads of pubs & bars of all kinds. Canal street is actually really good (no I'm not GOS).

I might pop down for a bit.

Do you know if there's a list of side events anywhere, I couldn't find one ? I might play something for lulz (providing its not like all week and £500 buyin)

well that sucked.

Don't think the side event list has been released yet, if it has i can't find it. There's usually a £100+15 event or similar. normally on day 1B, for the degens who get knocked out on day 1A.

I'm spending too much time trying to sat in for the ME atm. Maybe I should concentrate on playing real poker?

My brother booked a travel lodge in this location

22 Great Ancoats Street
Ancoats
Manchester
Manchester
LANCASHIRE
Great Britain

He said he researched it and its meant to be near some nice bars/clubs etc.

Is the area decent? or am i going to meet this man?

Well, you are defo 50% to meet that guy, it is Manchester after all ....

Great Ancoats street is really near the northern quarter that I was on about - its just a few minutes walk from there.
