You were hoping for a couple more in by now? We have recruited 3 new players and it's only halfway through January. This is already the most active Jan window I can remember in years. Normally it takes us until the last week to get anyone through the door. Sometimes the last day. Sometimes not at all.

Agree with the rest of your post, but if anything I'm surprised we have players in already at all.

I remember the days of people awaiting any transfer news from Niko like he was dealing meth.

For some reason, Anthony Mowbray has really made me chuckle. Got to find the small things when supporting this shambles...

I personally liked "Tecnico"

I’d like to see some mean, nasty steaks in our players. We have a lot of nice, inoffensive lads now. 

Regardless of the score, every team knew they have played Rovers with Hughes at the helm. Some of them left with mementos.

You part of Mowbray's press team? Is that why we haven't seen you for a while?

My mercenary streak goes only so far.

Shots on target for us: 0.

Well then, that's a 100% success at not missing.

I get the feeling that Mowbray is one of those Football Manager players who take an hour to invent a new tactic just to lose anyway, then restarts his computer before saving.

Henry the 5th level stuff there.

Honestly, does it even benefit Liverpool? Is this kid going to make the Liverpool starting 11 in his career?

A little off the wage bill?

Butterworth and Clarkson...what a waste so far...

And there was me hoping that Butterworth would be the next Jon Stead.

Silly question I know, but do members still post updates on here throughout the game?

Mowbray out.
Venkys out.
COYB.

Glad to see nothing has changed much - just the managers name.

Rebelmswar, blast from the past!

(Unless you've been posting and I didn't notice)

No, just escaped from Arkham 😄 I'm sure you would have noticed. Nice Avatar by the way.

2-1 Rovers.

Apologies for Astbury Park.

Bruce Springsteen - Man at the top

Harry Nilsson - Yellow Man

Grief reb! Good to hear from you again.

Thanks so much, good to still be heard.

Now don't be silly

That man is my hero, ever since "Frank" That looks badass

Welcome back buddy !

Thinking of watching Slow West

Thanks man

Is that a porn from Texas?

Watched Jurassic World this week, full of daft situations, dafter characters and the daftest of the daft of plots but I really enjoyed it. Just makes you smile.

I want a pet raptor, I would call it Hank and we would go for walks in Ashville.

Yeah, I know a bit of Norwegian now, apparently TROOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL means Troll.

I know Pepsi means Pepsi and that there is a hideous dish involving rotten fish and lye.

Between the boy and 'girl'? On the face of it, it's almost a sweet, coming of age friendship/relationship. When you consider that the 'girl' is obviously way more than 12 (and therefore much more worldly-wise than she appears), and that being a vampire she needs (to ensnare?) someone to provide fresh blood for her, the relationship and her motives become something a bit more unsettling. It hints that she's already done something similar at least once with the 'father' figure.

The later is what I came away with, I felt it was a double dose of vampirism and made me feel very bad for the duped boy.

Just watched 'Let Me In' .... excellent stuff. Was hoping to catch the original Swedish version first but got the opportunity to watch the remake. If the original is a better movie it must be incredible.

I agree. Welcome back to the land of the undead Hammer Productions.

What angle did you take from the movie in regards to the relationship? My view seems to contrast hugely from how others view the relationship.

Being a dog lover,the saddest part of the movie was when he lost his canine friend. The thought of being suddenly totally alone without even your canine pal for company I found very disturbing.

Don't read the book then.

Matheson did a fantastic job with that relationship, in my opinion.

The whole title is more understandable and more apt in my opinion in the book as opposed to the film. I had such hope for it until I heard who would star in it and then saw the poster. "The Last Man on Earth" (1964) staring the quite brilliant Vincent Price was a far, far, better movie adaptation, while still being grossly inaccurate to the book.

Ouch..sometimes you need to get off the fence rebelmswar

I actually liked both of those movies (Stir of Echoes & I am Legend )...I'll get my coat before you tear me a new one..

Have you read "I am Legend?" if you had you would have probably leapt toward the screen like the Gremlins did at the end the classic that bears their name.

Maniac Cop is out on Blu-Ray, Good old cheesy horror starring Bruce Cambell.

Should be on your list Nelsta.

I have to give it to Arrow, they certainly can deliver and outstanding movie cover.

Cheers Reb, seen Antichrist my god that's a film to make any man wince, or woman for that matter. Hard hitting stuff.

I like most kinds of horror apart from things like paranormal activity, for some reason ghost flicks freak me out.

My favourite horror in years is probably rec although I was nervous goig in the loft for a whole after ha.

For a enjoyably Halloween film I would recommend Trick R Treat, camp almost b movie type collection of horror films.

The scissor part had me in tatters and I'm not a woman.

Haven't seen rec but I'll give it a spin.

I too highly recommend Trick R' Treat, laughed hard and long at the last story. Was my second horror Blu-ray purchase, Army of Darkness was my first.

It's on Sky from time to time - as as Reb says, it's seriously odd and very graphic.

I can't believe that they allowed that on Sky uncut.
