  1. Bayern would be able to field a pretty strong '3 foreigner' team with their current squad. apart from them and barca, you'd be hard pushed to find anyone else in Europe capable of doing so. Neuer Lahm Boeteng Badstuber Alaba (F) Schweinsteiger Rode Muller Gotze Robben (F) Lewandowski (F)
  2. Not 100% sure on this. Brock was a pretty big deal when he left WWE in 05 - pretty much main event-ing for 3years solid before the Goldberg match.
  3. Don't know if she needed to go for the takedown when she did. Very disappointing result as was hoping for big things. Her time will come.
  4. We'll see how it pans out but a sponsorship based on ufc official rankings and will leave some guys pretty disillusioned. Also, will there be equal pay between divisions? Surely that will cause some issues. In some ways it makes the sport more legitimate but in other ways it will be strange seeing no walk out banners/personalised shirts. Also. Reebok?!? Surely someone else was offering something better than reebok. Does anyone actually wear reebok anymore?
  5. Ufc signed a deal with reebok where by fighters 'uniforms' will have to be reebok and they will not be allowed any sponsorship on shorts, theirs, walk on banners or anything else on fight week. In turn they all get a cut of the reebok deal. Surely some of the lower level guys can't be happy with this deal as sponsorship is some of their main source of income. Not sure how I feel about it.
  6. Gustaffson Rumble confirmed for January. It's been talked about before on here but only real option apart from perhaps Bader. Think Whiteford will probably get a fight on that card too.
  7. McGregor vs Siver in January apparently. Whiteford was supposed to fight Siver last month but was injured so does that put a bit of perspective on where both McGregor and Whiteford stand? Or just a way to keep McGregor ticking over?
  8. I think it's been mentioned but dundee has its fair share of topknot and mod chop wankers. The topknot is the one which really gets me! Boy I play 5s with tried it for a week, got abuse and the next week it was a goner. Simple short back and sides with a bit off the top does fine.
  9. Cain out of the 180 main event. Now headlined by an 'interim' title match between Werdum and Hunt.
  10. Can't decide if Connor is just toying with people now. He's still in the US and that tweet was sent out at 7am Uk time so about 2am US time so could he have just been drunk and tweeting for laughs? Fight makes no sense at all.
  11. Just looks so relaxed and at ease in the octagon. Speaking to porier as he stalked him and after he hit him. Great to watch but can see why people don't like him.
  12. The UFC seems to be really pushing jojo calderwood on their social media sites, potential foreshadowing for the season?
  13. I've been waiting for someone else to bring it up. I think McGregor is one away from the title now. The fact that he was the second highest paid fighter on 178 shows Dana is high on him because he's created such a hype around himself and Dana considers himself Irish, as does half of Boston, so there's a little love in there. I think a title shot vs Aldo in Boston could sell massive numbers. 20,000 in the TD Garden. Aldo seems to do one fight Brasil one fight Usa so assuming he beats Mendes in Rio then it could be assumed a title fight in the US next year is next for him and McGregor in Boston would make sense. I think Mcgregor will get the winner of Swanson and Edgar as a title eliminator. Have to feel for Porier a little. The fight went exactly as Conor said it would which must be pretty disheartening. People said he was the first real challange McGregor had face and he brushed him aside.
  14. Florida a week tomorrow. Tickets for the ice hockey and NFL purchased. Can't wait now!!
  15. I've got tickets for Tampa bay lightning vs Florida Panthers next month. Depending on the first game there's a high chance we might go again for the second game.
  16. My better half conducted a poll in one of her s4 classes and said that the level of knowledge the kids had was incredible. She was very, very impressed by it and the way they debated with each other. Some kids who she would never expect showing maturity and leadership in the debate.
  17. Odds seem to be sitting around 19/5 for yes and 2/9 for No at the moment. No not getting any shorter but Yes seems to be drifting slowly.
  18. I don't think a social media led poll can be taken over seriously given the vast difference in social media support of the two campaigns.
  19. Have a feeling the silent No will be a lot stronger than people are estimating. The volume of the Yes campaign in social media would suggest about 80/20 Yes/no. The amount of people I know who have never uttered a peep about the referendum on social media, or told canvassers they are undecided to appease them at the door step, but are actually voting/have already voted no is pretty big. I think this silent majority will outweigh new YES'ers in a lot of areas.
  20. Billy Horschel 171 holes without a 3 putt. Great form.
  21. I'm not up to date at all, still to watch season 4 but I've thought since the first season that it would all end here too.
  22. Got 5 1/2 hours between flights at newark on the way back from Florida, check bags in in Orlando and don't see them again until Scotland. Think this 5.5 hours would be enough time to pop into New York for a couple of hours?
  23. Yeah it'll still be the full priced id imagine. Really highlights the issues of fighters over cutting to fight at weight classes their bodies aren't made for.
  24. Barao out of tomorrow's main event. Awful for everything as the card was appalling to begin with. Could be the worst buy rate in years.
