I enjoyed True Detective a lot. The last episode was a bit of a letdown but they usually are - too many loose ends to tie up and usually can't match the complexity of the previous episodes. Well worth a watch though. Woody Harrelson :wub:

I think Moyes will be managing Man Utd next season. Would be nice a manager given time for once - he's shown he has the capabilities to be a good manager despite how they've played this season.

I only played 2 saves in FM13 and I'll probably do the same with FM14. First one is with Partick Thistle, the team I support. Will be good fun this year to see how they've changed the squad stats now we've got promoted to the SPL. Second one will be starting unemployed with Sunday League...

I think the best thing to do would be to massively over-hype Januzaj and create Macheda mark II. Wait til the guy's played a few more first team games.

No idea what sort of books you're interested in, so I'll name a few different ones I've read and enjoyed fairly recently: Behind the Curtain: Football in Eastern Europe - interesting book on how football adapted through the rise and fall of the USSR. Covers leagues I knew little about, and...

Not been on here for ages, but got pretty bored on a Thursday night and thought I'd see if the story section was up to much this year. Great read so far, although I guess I should have expected that from your previous efforts! I like the word choice and the obvious detail and thought put into...

Not really! Argentina are a much weaker side than they were in 07, and we beat them twice on their home ground last summer, so without being complacent, we should manage to better them. They've not had many notable results recently so they look short of form and match practice going into it.

All Blacks looked impressive in the first half, but were very poor in the 2nd half. Tonga's tackling was woeful in the beginning and flattered some of the breaks made by the Kiwis, especially Kahui. Sonny Williams has an incredible offload though. They looked rattled when Tonga finally kept...

Hmm, I'm undecided about ours. When 'O Flower of Scotland' is belted out by a capacity crowd, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. You can hear the passion and pride when it's sung, and in my biased view it's one of the louder ones sung in the 6 Nations :P However the lyrics are rotten...

It's just a shame rugby doesn't have the same strength in depth as football does. Most pools are predictable, with only Scotland's completely up for grabs for qualification. Ireland should see off Italy in theirs, and Wales should surely have learnt how to beat the Pacific Islanders by now...

Not really sure what genre you're looking for so I'll just suggest a few (very different) books. - Catch 22, as Irish Scouse said, is a great book, if slightly dark at times! - I enjoyed 'Into Thin Air' by John Krakauer. It's a true story about a disaster while climbing Everest. Quite...

You wrote "have" instead of "am". Oops.

Saturday would probably be the most popular day to move in so that sounds a better date. Don't want to be sitting in by yourself on Friday because nobody's arrived! Out of interest, which university are you going to? I highly doubt that that's happening currently... Otherwise I'm worried...

Nah, but we move in on the Saturday. I guess it's so you get to know a few people and get settled before Freshers' properly starts. The course itself starts on the 19th.

Moving out to Edinburgh Uni on Saturday to do Maths. Looking forward to it. Freshers' should be a blast.
