    Utd would be a different team if they had gotten Sneijder in the summer... Silva is just so damn good!

    Silva must of gotten the freedom of Manchester before the game. As for Sneijder Utd would have to drop a striker if you want to fit him in he's a no.10 & NOT a Centre midfielder thats where he was misused at Real. United couldn't play him,Young & Nani behind two strikers. Sneijder has been struggling with form & fitness the last 15 months too.

    That City match was LOLtastic. Just when Utd think they have a positive (Flecther's goal) City just destroy them.

    Does anyone have a Kindle lads? Are they worth it or just a fad that'll pass? I'm an avid reader but i just don't have the room for any more books at this stage. My flat is literally creaking at the seams, there's f*ckings books all over the place.

    Is a Kindle the solution I've been craving?

    I bought a Kindle 6months ago because I travel alot and got tired of the room books would take up in my bags, I have to say I love my kindle! Its light, very easy to read on, and save a ton of space. If you're a big reader you will love it!

    Was never really tied to any clubs that much TBH. Always found it a bit weird to love a club in a different country. If I had to pick one that I get the most enjoyment out of it'd be Blackpool. Watched a match over there when I was 8.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Are most books available on it now or just selected ones? And can you only buy them from Amazon or are they available from elsewhere?


  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,709 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    You can buy only from Amazon.com but there are 1,000s upon 1,000s of books to choose from, I found some books I used to have years ago but have misplaced now, the back catalogue is very impressive!

    how do pictures look on the kindle? eg in Jericho's book? Or is it just text?

    The selection is massive... and cheaper. I just picked up the hardback of The Road Warriors book for about 11quid on Amazon, and the kindle version is half the cost.
    A friend of mine had problems with a faulty one, and they sorted his out without any issues. If I could afford one atm, I'd definitely go for it.

    There is pictures, they are all in black and white, picture quality isn't great, but the text is very smooth and very easy on the eyes to read.

    You can even download graphical novels on the kindle so its not the worse quality.

    I actually got mine in Edmonton in a Staples store, 3g + wifi version. I'm currently working in Canada so that's why I got it there. Not sure who sells them back home, I only became aware of kindles a few months ago myself!

    Had to wade knee deep through a flood to get home today. Craziness. A ten minute drive took nearly 2 hours.

    Apparantly, a young, off duty guard has died in this. Swept away:(

    All I can say if stay safe to those up in Dublin affected by the floods

    I don't get the appeal with the guy and after tonight I'm none the wiser. The debate was fun though and at times hit Scott Steiner vs Chris Nowinski levels of debate awesomeness.

    I also liked Mitchell refusing to shake Kenny's hand at the end. :pac:
