    I see the BBC pre-match report says again this week that we are without long term injury victim Isaac Success. Are we not without him because he is on loan with Malaga injured or otherwise. It said the same last week I think, assume this has been a copy and paste for the past couple of months.

    He is on loan isn't he?

    Currently but not always.

    There are three signs of a great driver.

    World championships (plural) to an extent, because it shows consistency, especially if you do so without the best car.

    Outcompeting your teammate - because they drive identical cars.

    Being able to destroy the opposition in the wet, where you need supreme talent.

    Hamilton ticks all of the boxes for one of the best ever.

    Fascinating and impossible to predict this match. Hope Hughes plays, this is a game for him. And I think Richarlison will rediscover his cojones for this until he gets subbed.

    Sports person I most dislike: Robbie Fowler - for buying up all those houses that poorer people should own.

    I most admire Rocky.

    He’s British in passport only. The guy so desperately wants to be American it’s painful.

    Crikey, HGB, there will some accusing you of pushing a hardcore neo Thatcherite agenda & brewing up a second sub prime crisis.

    Tricky territory.
     
  9. Meh!

    Meh! Pre-Dictator

    So to sum up:

    World championships (plural) - plural because he had the best car each year.

    Outcompeting your team mate - lets not pretend that team orders don't exist, especially when he openly got annoyed that some of his better support team got moved over to help Rosberg win.

    Being able to destroy the opposition in the wet - in a faster car.

    Not sure what boxes these feats actually tick. Unfortunately cars win races, not drivers.

    How are the tv options looking?

    I envied your Iceland trip & am grounded from NYC for a while.

    Nah. Capoue generally always plays to his full ability against Arsenal.

    Hughes over Capoue every game except this one.

    All good. Found a bar round the corner from where I’m staying in Park Slope, Brooklyn that opens for the PL games and six nations so I’ve struck lucky. Almost makes having to endure NBA and NHL in every bar this week worth it. ALMOST.

    No, Carlsen couldn't beat a computer, in much the same way as Usain Bolt couldn't outrun an F1 car.

    Computers play chess in a completely different way to humans, analysing lines that humans instantly reject due to their intuition and experience, which is obviously not 100% foolproof.

    It is a myth that chessplayers think 20 moves ahead all the time - it's mostly all about pattern recognition and saving the deep analysis for when your experience tells you that a certain move should be played, but you don't quite know why yet.

    That said, the fact that computers can routinely beat humans doesn't detract from the amazing thought processes of these top players. I find it incredible how the human brain is able to instantly recognise the strongest move in a position that has thousands of possibilities.
     
  17. Not always no. In 2009 McLaren produced a complete dog of a car, it was laughable how poor the thing was. In pre testing it managed only a handful of laps. We are talking a complete bag of dog *****.

    Brawn and Red bull produced brilliant cars that year and were always going to walk away with the championship. That was the year of the double diffuser controversy.

    Lewis still won 2 races, and got on the podium half a dozen times in probably one of the worst cars on the grid. Imo it was his best season.

    People still live in them, he hasn't destroyed them. Why would you want to deny dwellings to people who can't afford to buy?
    Please keep your half-c**k politics to yourself or a politics forum, which I won't bother to read. This is a football forum.
    Mind you, I don't much like Robbie Fowler.

    It’s not even that political it’s just a fact. He’s part of the reason people can’t afford to buy. Simple economics. Rampant accumulation of property lowers supply and raises prices. By 2003 Robbie Fowler owned 80 houses in the north of England. He’s kept buying since then.

    Fact or political statement, what has it got to do with Arsenal vs Watford?

    About as much as Formula 1 and people’s irrational hatred for Tim Henman

    What a photo, is this real? If we win this needs to be tweeted to Piers Morgan as infinitum.

    Yes i believe they are real. There's several different pics with both t-shirt slogans and i dont think anyone would have bothered to faked them. Also they appear on ***** images and i would think they are pretty strict about photo authenticity.

    PS Another Elton/Watford t-shirt..

    Anyone else think a reprint of some of those tshirts would sell in the club shop?

    WillisWasTheWorst Its making less grammar mistake's thats important

    The thing about Henman was that, despite being the best British player for many decades, nobody could quite accept that he still wasn’t good enough to win the Grand Slams.

    Pic taken in Los Angeles so not only the photo but the gun is also real.

    He must have popped down the corner convenience store or Wal-Mart.
    " one quart bottle of coke, two large Lay's barbeque flavoured potato chips, an AK 47 sub machine gun and 3 clips of ammo please"
    Bless him.
