    Alex Ried is fighting for ufc now?
    Mma is good even for an irregular viewer because you don't particularly need to watch every event.

    would've thought you'd support our boy Lesnar, scurge of the high seas and the low brows of MMA fanboys/wrestling haters!

    Nah it wasn't a UFC show (although there is one tonight). It was a BAMMA show on Bravo.

    Thats just cos he wanted to really fight.

    Although now that he is, his obnoxious-ness is brilliant.

    Definitely. He was never content with the non-competitive nature of wrestling; didn't care for storylines, travel etc.....it's so weird seeing him spout lines in the WWE, seeing his awesome heel off-the-cuff promos in UFC. The dude is amazing. And would batter anyone in the world today. :pac::pac: Even though he wasn't with WWE long, he was labelled as such, and in turn has made people respect wrestlers a bit more, which is just awesome.

    Do you reckon Grizzy bears would run away from Lesnar?

    I was into MMA long before young Brock came on board but he was one of the first guys that I started to actually get behind and support. An odd man but a great one.

    Considering brock (I still can't say that's name without thinking about the Pokemon character!) has a close friendship with Paul heyman, do you think he plays to the heel thing as a result?
    Like if Paul advised him that he could be noticed that little more than if he was just a normal fighter, who are usually quite respectful?

    You guys are at a big disadvantage though. You could be behind by 300 points in your 1st week in our league.

    His obnoxiousness is possibly the best thing about him.

    Lesnar understands how to sell PPV's.

    Lads, Do any of yiz use ryanair with any regularity? reason i ask is i'm a bit confused about the online check in, Do i just show up with my passport and the printout and go straight through to security without going to the check in desk?
    I'm flying to London for a gig and theres a 4 hour gap between getting to the airport and my flight and i'd much rather spend it in the departures area than the check in.

    I think it's straight to security with the printout and passport.

    Awful week for me. Really Poor. Hoping Chelsea will bounce back against a shaken arsenal next week.

    Aye. Had Ashley Cole and Drogba as captain. Charlie Adam got the same points as Drogba.

    Got rid of Tevez last week for Darren Bent :(

    The title race would be a lot more interesting if Arsenal beat Chelsea

    But Darren Bent scored twice, Tevez once, so surely it was a good transfer?
