    Ya not sure - and you might be right on January, but he'd ease into a top 6 BPL side with no problem I'd think. I'd like him at Arsenal, but we wouldn't move for him as he'd "stunt" Chambo's growth. He was the best player on the pitch tonight imo. Can't believe Japan lost that - they were camped...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Great watch. Friend has one similar with an ivory face (fuck elephants) and a rose gold case. I still haven't got a nice dress watch - I've been rocking an Omega Seamaster and an old Hamilton of my dads on and off.... but need something a little more businessy. How much did it set you back? $7-10k?

    James Gandolfini Dead at 51.

    I literally finished re-watching all 6 seasons over the weekend. Show holds up amazingly well, and that son of a bitch was a terrific actor. I don't usually give a fuck about these types of things, but this is pretty sad. Young, successful, and a seemingly good dude. Why the fuck is Chuck Sheen...

    Didn't remotely imply Isco to Arsenal. Isco to Real Madrid is a different story though, and he'd flourish in that system. Having his former manager at City though is the rub, so he'll almost certainly end up there. I simply don't want to see him in the BPL as he'll be the best attacking mid in...

    Arse gets a really manageable opening to the season - Hope they take advantage of it and don't fuck around until January like usual. Lots of transfer speculation - Isco to Man City would absolutely devastate me. Best young player in the world for me. Thiago and Illaramendi are up there as well -...

    Buying a car?

    Fuck it, just bought the X1 for $32k - sticker at $39k. White on black. Going to get it deep tinted next week... - drives fantastically, just wish my afternoon wasn't loaded with meetings/appointments as I'd like to actually drive it a bit before vacation.

    Buying a car?

    Exactly what I was looking for, thanks. They've got a few base x1 w/ premium packages, etc at $36-$38k. Thinking about rolling over this morning to get the white one, but we'll see. I also would LOVE the new IS350's (I really like new body styles, and they aren't any more than x1 is), but I...

    That Tony Parker pic is gold Jerry! Common knowledge that Heat fans are generally thought of as the worst in NBA. I know there ARE real Heat fans, I've just never met one. Lebatard was estimating thousands of empty seats end of regulation. What the fuck.

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Neki: Not sure its necessary - but my diet was relatively solid before my cut, and cutting out fruits/dairy (I also drank tons of skim milk smoothies) certainly made a difference. However, it leaves you in a completely shit mood. My girlfriend has been walking on eggshells since end of April -...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Ya Neki bro, just start with a moderate lifting program and go from there. If you don't have gym access, torrent Insanity/P90X and do them religiously. Won't get you the body of your dreams, but they are quick/easy and I saw noticeable differences when doing both programs. Finally hit 205 BP...

    Not even a Spurs fan - thought before tonight they had to close out to win series, but if they got blown out they'd be in with a shout in game 7. However, outplaying a team for that long - having your old man Center go off and still coming up short (AND feeling like you got boned on the calls...

    No surprise that the instant Wade came in, Heat capitulate. I'm no fan of Gaige, but Lebron was the only guy keeping them in it. Wade is a stupid piece of shit who doesn't deserve one ring let alone 3. Best ending to a finals I've seen in I don't know how long. Would be unreal to be a Spurs...

    Ginobili back to earth. Great game - get feeling Miami could go on a big run at any point. Not sure why, but my hatred/dislike for DWade is significantly higher than it is for Delonte Wests son. Can't fucking stand Wade.

    So still haven't pulled trigger yet on new car.

    My first ever job, commercial teller for Bank of America... think I was maybe 17 or so. Gal calls me for phone screening and asks "If you could be any animal living in a forest, what would it be and why?" I answer, "a squirrel, so I could run around all day and eat as many nuts as possible"...

    Great FK from Suarez, but not a good showing for Uruguay. Absolutely raped. Sick of the over-acting bullshit by the Spain players though - they're better than that.
