adios

Hatred is defo way too strong a word, until match day at least. Aye, that was pretty much my takeaway too.

I can bore you to death at some point about it. It's all got very technical in the last couple of years, a lot of the fun stuff is gone. It's a bunch of off-table work and then at the tables you just know what combination of hands to bluff/value bet in most spots and are pretty much autopiloting. Just takes the excitement out of it when you know that your bluff is correct regardless of whether you get called or not. Though you should still be playing exploitatively vs weaker players. And I'm already boring myself to death.

Only teams I really have a proper hatred for are Spurs and Manchester United. Oh and Huddersfield can fuck off back down too, though I can't really remember why.

Fish is broken.

Just checked and I thought I'd spend ~€350 on it, but turns out I only spend about half that, so that'll explain it. I haven't even overclocked it. To be honest, I don't play anything graphically-challenging on PC. I feel like that's what consoles are for - no hassle plug-n-play. It's probably unfair on the current state of things, but I was put off a long time ago when it seemed like I was spending 60% of my gaming time trying to get the feckin' thing to work.

Mine doesn't hold up too well considering it's newer. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-370-vs-GeForce-GTX-970 Way overpowered for the old-style point-n-clicks that I play though.

I expect nothing less than 4 graphics card in tandem from @Ant.

Hmmm, looks like I might have the Radeon equivalent of that. Maybe I should actually try putting my PC through a stress test with some high-end game. I know it fails the VR test on Steam.

I spent £1600 on mine and don't consider it a gaming PC! I thought you needed to be spending a grand plus on graphics cards alone for it to fall into that category.

If we're counting all the times we were right about a player being shite we're all football geniuses tbh.

Mine was top of the line 5 years ago (apart from a shite graphics card that I've since upgraded to a mediocre one). I've felt almost no need to upgrade except there's some slightly more complex calcs I'd like to run with a poker solver. That's getting into cloud server territory though. It also kept giving out about over-temperature cpu and then just stopped one day, so I assume the sensor melted.

I've seen enough to thank my lucky stars that I wasn't taken in by your huckster sales pitch. WoW tbh.

Water-cooled or GTFO.

Shows what any of us now.

And then you ask why people go for the XBONE!

I've always felt this but my brief flirtation with both I'd say NO is quite a bit better (though still dogshite).

Harsh thinking the mackems won't be back up in all that time.

Aye, he's somehow gone from Villa relegation standard to first defender on the teamsheet under Rafa.

Thought he was excellent vs Stoke. It's amazing what Rafa can do with bang average looking defenders (see Clark).

This must be some download.

Totally agree with @Howay. This team will fuck a side lacking in confidence right over.

Aye, I think it became evident soon after kick-off why Mbemba was the right choice. Was it that Diouf on their right?

Also nice that under Rafa when a team equalise you still think "we can beat these fuckers" whereas for too long we've been wondering how many the team'll lose by.

@The Fish will be in momentarily to post his thesis on what Rafa's tactics are and some big foreign word to explain it all.
