I use this one http://download.cnet.com/YouTube-Downloader/3000-2071_4-10647340.html?tag=mncol

It's idiot proof, you take the URL from the youtube page, put it on it and it downloads it. Then you can change it to whatever format you want.

Aye, thats the one and I can vouch for it being an idiot myself

Some going for JT.

FIFPro team of the year: Casillas; Dani Alves, Evra, Terry, Vidic; Xavi, Iniesta, Gerrard; Ronaldo, Messi, Torres.

You know how many of them are in the top 10 of the castrol ranking you were so keen on? 4

Evra ranks at 120th

I didn't treat them as the holy grail of player rankings. I just said they were another method, who claimed to be the most complete set of statistics for footballers.

U were a bit keen on them :)

Everyone will know that I am a big JT apologist fan, so this is a strange one. I am always VERY sceptical of the tabloids, and especially the News of the World, who are so close to headlines such as 'Elvis found living on the moon'. Therefore everything I read I take with a pinch of salt.

However. I think JT has f**ked up here in some fashion. It's so unprofessional and tacky if what the NOTW say he did, he did. He's the captain of the England and Chelsea football teams, surely there is a more professional way of doing what he did, if he had to do it.

What's more disappointing is the company. A f**king ticket tout? The hate of all decent football fans. 

As an aside, Terry parted company with his life long agent a few months back. The amount of NOTW 'exclusives' on his family, and him since has spiralled.

And remember, for all those posting from glass houses, who are taking this as gospel, read the last paragraph.

QuoteAs we left Bruce offered more visits to Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal and Tottenham, naming two high-profile figures who could help lay them on.

Does the ordinary fan hate the tout that much, I'd consider them a necessary evil. I've been lucky enough over the years to gain a few good contacts for football tickets but occasionally I'll still come up short and if a games important enough to me i'll pay a tout. He's providing a service and I'm availing of it.

Do agree with ya though its a bit messy for a player to be involved with a tout, but like ya say i'd say its rife.

I like Mascherano when he gives 100% but if City are willing to pay big money I'd let him go.

I suppose there'll be loads of rumours about City now that they have a new man in charge.

They'll spend another 200m and buy about 4 players. There'll be a man city price and a price for everyone else!

Masch would be one of 7/8 players I'd keep at all costs is we are realistic about not been shit.

Sunday Times yesterday had their alleged wishlist. All the usual suspects were there Aguero, Torres, Ribery, Di Maria, Masch, Yaya Toure and bizarrely Matthew Upson..

Incidentally the font of all knowledge Patrick Barcley reckons in same paper Pool should cash in on Gerrard

I've no idea what he says, I lost the will to live after about 2 lines

About a Boy.

I like all Nick Hornbys books but thought this one worked best as a film. Fever Pitch was a brilliant book and describes perfectly the ludicrousness of being a football fan but didn't really transfer to film

If none of the options work, its possible you have cracked the hard drive or unseated it at the very least. On the bottom of the laptop you can probably screw it out and put it back on. See if that works. I'm sure ur photos can be salvaged even if machine can't

It's all opinions after all. You may feel that way, but I don't. I still support all my teams the same way without feeling the need to claim to be part of it.
That's the whole point of being a sportsfan is it not? To feel part of something. Outside of the obvious  births, deaths and marraiges most of the biggest highs and lows in my life have been watching the teams I love. Winning and losing Champions Leagues, Monaghans defeats to Kerry in 07 and 08 and most heartbreaking of all for me Limericks late fall to Offaly in 94 and I've felt part of all of them, what be the point of sport otherwise?

You need to get out more...

I follow or have an interest in United, Ireland, Castleblayney Faughs, Monaghan, Limerick hurlers and New York Jets amongst others and at times would have called them all "us" or "we" depending on who I'm with or where I am. In my opinion having an emotional attachment to any team gives you the right to call them "we"

Hmmmm fishing on another teams thread looking for a bite, wonder if he'll get the same abuse I did on the City thread?
