I try to avoid public speaking (except lectures) mainly because when I'm nervous I sound like Andy Murray.

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:19 pm

OP - surely tactics go to the voter? Then he looks at them all, and decides a winner.

Only just seen the sweepstake, just as well I didn't care for it anyway Laugh

by GSC Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:24 pm

More the case that I'll be around to do it.

I don't really care either way

by GSC Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:25 pm

Also cheers Hero Ok!

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:25 pm

Has Trebs done his team page yet?

by sodhat Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:37 pm

Reckon we can get a game of mafia going?

I need something to keep me awake.

by The Special Juan Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:39 pm

Like your Mum on a Friday night, I'm in.

by sodhat Thu Jun 12, 2014 2:43 pm

You know the rules - smiley face on the mafia page means you're in...

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 3:10 pm

I don't have much to smile about, but I'm available for mafioso dealings.

Burning 500 calories a day good? Before you answer Azzy I know you're super fit and 500 calories is nothing for you but the average person? I've stopped smoking since Monday really happy with that.

Smokers are jokers.

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:14 pm

500cals a day is good. Your daily allowance is 2,500. If you want to lose 1lb per week you have to limit yourself to 2,100 calories per day. So in doing 500cals of exercise, you can have a normal day's food/drink guilt-free.

by **Afro** Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:16 pm

Burning 500 calories a day is better than burning 0 calories a day, although everything is completely dependant upon how much you eat.

The average daily recommended calorie intake for blokes is about 2500 to maintain your weight, so that should help put some context on it.

And well done for not smoking. It may help pay my mortgage, but it's still a bad habit, so well done clap

by FIFA Diva Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:29 pm

I've cut out all the junk and sweets fizzy drinks etc, it has made a big difference. I reckon I am eating around 2500 calories. So that's 14 weeks to lose a stone, long time to go I want to lose 2 stones.

by FIFA Diva Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:30 pm

Thank you Afro.

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:35 pm

I eat two slices of toast with butter+marmite in the mornings, 300cals.

Corned beef and cucumber sandwich at lunch - 400cals.

Dinner ranges from 750cals-1,000cals - add in a snack that totals up to 1,700 cals.

At the weekends I eat what I want, when I want, and I slowly but surely drop my weight down. But I'm not miserable like you are when you diet day in, day out.

by FIFA Diva Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:46 pm

You're probably at your ideal weight and can get away with that.

I'm 5'9 and 13 stones I should be 11 and a half or 11 what's your height and weight Azzy

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:51 pm

I'm 6'3 and 15 1/2 stone. Nowhere near my ideal weight but much close to it than previously Laugh

by sodhat Thu Jun 12, 2014 4:51 pm

I haven't weighed myself for a long long time

I used to be about 12.5 stone, and I'm 5"10'

by FIFA Diva Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:07 pm

Wow I didn't know you were that tall, you're almost a foot taller than Nick.

That's okish Sodhat

by sodhat Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:09 pm

Chelsea sign Cesc Shocked

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:19 pm

Wow. What a coup. Poor Oscar, he's never going to play again.

by sodhat Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:28 pm

All I ate yesterday was a zinger box meal and now I'm dispatching liquid fire from my bum.

by **Afro** Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:30 pm

Arsenal fans must be hurting right now. The majority idolised him.

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:40 pm

No wonder you're hungover.

Fabregas is a world class CM who is a colossus in the PL. Why did he plump for the squad rotation mess at Chelsea rather than the guaranteed hero fanfare at Old Trafford, the Emirates or Anfield? Madness. Well played Chelsea, finally made a good signing!

by Azzy Thu Jun 12, 2014 5:41 pm

Anyhoo, enjoy the game tonight lads Euro Division Homepage LXXIV - Page 8 3559488474

By all accounts, he wanted to go to Arsenal, but they turned down the chance to sign him.

And it is reported he only wanted to go to London, which rules out Utd, Everton and Liverpool...

by FIFA Diva Thu Jun 12, 2014 6:03 pm

I heard he would have joined United and was keen on the move after Arsene rejected him. Chelsea have got a fine player and I've always said Fabregas is the players I'd have to replace Scholes.

by GSC Thu Jun 12, 2014 6:08 pm

Yeah I tend to think Arsenal and United passed him up.

by The Special Juan Thu Jun 12, 2014 6:12 pm

The Ghost

by Marky Thu Jun 12, 2014 8:11 pm

Chelsea's team could be a scary looking;

Courtois
Ivanovic Cahill Terry Azpilicueta
Fabregas Matic
Willian Oscar Hazard
Costa
Subs: Cech, Zouma, Mikel, Ramires, Schurrle, Salah, Lukaku

Hard to believe Mandzukic was dropped after his 11 goal season on here

He did a pretty good job of shutting down the Chitauri fleet in Avengers Assemble.

by sodhat Fri Jun 13, 2014 10:41 am

I had an argument the other day about Hulk vs Thor.

Who you picking?

I'm a Hulk man.

by sodhat Fri Jun 13, 2014 10:42 am

I also think the papers are a bit too fawning of Neymar's performance.

I though he was a bit crap. One scuffed goal, a bad penalty that the keeper should save, and then a whole load of meh.

by Azzy Fri Jun 13, 2014 10:56 am

Thor. You can't touch his MC Hammer. Plus Chris Hemsworth is far more hunky than Mark Ruffalo. Trust.

Neymar was rubbish. Cheating scumbag.

I thought Thiago Silva was okay, Oscar was exceptional, but the rest were all very poor. I hope you all took note of how 34 year old journeyman Ivica Olic tore Dani Alves a new one. Alves is a worse RB than Glen Johnson. At one point Marcelo was covering the RB position!!!!!

by **Afro** Fri Jun 13, 2014 11:41 am

Neymar wasn't great, but it'll do me.

I now have two £5 free bets with Paddy Power thanks to his two goals last night, and will get another £5 free bet for each goal he scores throughout the tournament

Who's running Sheep today?

by GSC Fri Jun 13, 2014 12:01 pm

I can't

by cherriesfna Fri Jun 13, 2014 12:09 pm

I'm in an exam from 1:30-3

by Azzy Fri Jun 13, 2014 12:24 pm

What subject? Maybe we can help with revision.

by sodhat Fri Jun 13, 2014 12:43 pm

I think cherries may be beyond our help.

I can't run sheep right now, maybe in the afternoon but I've got a big old workload at the moment. If someone can step into the breach it will be most welcome.

by Azzy Fri Jun 13, 2014 12:59 pm

Is there even anyone to play? I'd run it if there was sufficient interest.

Q1: Name a cheating Japanese referee

by sodhat Fri Jun 13, 2014 1:02 pm

I can think of only one Japanese person and that's Hidetoshi Nakata.

Retired at 29. What a nutter.

by Azzy Fri Jun 13, 2014 1:14 pm

Shinji Ono, Junicho Inamoto and Keisuke Honda. That's my lot.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Jun 13, 2014 1:19 pm
