  1. Felt he was our most consistent outfield player today over the course of the 90 mins, would've been Albrighton but for a second half in which we offered little to no attacking threat - something that was more of a team fault than an individual one. As a reserve player, all you can ask is that they step up to the mark when called upon and Benny did that with bells on today - more than can be said of others who have come in to our rejuvenated lineup. Credit to him and long may it continue!
  2. I think many of these pundits and ex-players are wildly missing the point. The saying goes, if there is more than one explanation for an occurrence, the simplest one is usually correct. Is it really likely that these players have purposefully gone out and shown less desire, drive, energy or whatever other adjective you care to use as part of some Machiavellian plot to overthrow a manager who significantly contributed to what is likely the highest achievement of their careers? Or is it perhaps more likely that the players were responding to instruction and tactical changes from the manager to play a more contained game, and it was in fact their faithfulness to the man suddenly so revered that meant they didn't 'throw off the shackles', despite their own better judgement? I'm sure most of you have seen the output of these fellas on social media, they're hardly in Alain de Botton territory in the mental stakes. To suggest they were actively not trying very hard and were playing badly to oust the manager, well, it just isn't very likely.
  3. Have you loaded up a pre configured bundle like the beast, or added add ons one by one according to what you need? Sometimes, it takes a while to connect to a stream which might give you the 'working' sign, but you shouldn't have too many problems in navigating the program aside. I don't think there is much memory on my fire stick and I've never noticed any major problems. If it's low end, I'd say give it a go on the Apple TV and see what you think - wasn't too difficult to set up.
  4. Is the performance you don't like or the add-ons? Cos the latter won't change on apple tv. I'm set up on a fire stick and I set my old man up on his apple tv - it's a more powerful device so runs a bit better, but nothing remarkable imo.
  5. A slight tangent, but wondering if any of you guys could help. After sideloading the current version of sky go onto my fire stick, I can login and get the channels to work just fine but the video gets pretty choppy. A quick Google suggests using an older version of the app (4.2.1) which I have found the apk for and transferred across, but when I open it up on the fire stick, I'm told I must update to the latest version of sky go in order to use it. Have any of you found a decent work around for this? I assume it would work the same for the fire stick as it would for any other android based device.
  6. Cheers bud, think the dexter on my laptop needed an update as it seemed to pack in a few weeks ago.
  7. Tell you what lads, I've just took loaded kodi onto a recently purchased fire stick and started exploring the genesis add on and I'm pretty sure i'll be cancelling my netflix and prime. Only ever really used it for sports before. What are the must have add ons for sports/tv/movies other than genesis and phoenix? I've been through the thread a bit but many of them seem to be dead now.
  8. Yeah, I suppose those comments aren't as frequent in threads about players from clubs other than little old Leicester, but with Wenger's comments and Arsenal v Zagreb tonight, it's a bit of a hot topic.
  9. I love Vardy, but have you really not considered it? A good number of footballers must be doping - they don't even get their blood tested. Doesn't preclude them from working hard to reach the top though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operaci%C3%B3n_Puerto_doping_case That was the doctor who basically helped the top tier cyclists to dope for many years. RM & Barca players were also implicated. For me, the biggest argument against Vardy doping is that his physical attributes don't seem to have changed much - his pace and stamina have always been very strong. It's his decision making and technique that have improved the most, and you can't take drugs for that.
  10. Yeah, I've tried screen mirroring, but the lag is a bit too off-putting as you mention. Thanks, will check it out.
  11. Bit of a niche question, but has anyone worked out a workaround to get live kodi streams on to a chromecast, or other similar streaming device?
  12. Cambi with a lovely pass leading to Olympiakos' third tonight
  13. Mahrez getting absolutely rimmed on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/3hz8jt/alli_scores_vs_leicester_but_mahrez_equalizes_90/
  14. Mannone won their fans' player of the year award through his largely excellent performances since replacing Westwood. Marshall has been great, but I guarantee he has faced more shots than any other keeper this season and thus had more chances to make saves. I'm not saying I necessarily agree with her team, but writing her off because she is a woman is ignorant, sexist, and boring.
  15. Could anyone help out a temporary NZ fox? Do they have the same sports networks here as Oz, and am I likely to find any bars showing it? I may be around Dunedin at the time of the game on Sunday night, but that is longer than I really wanted to stay there - worth it if I could find somewhere with even a s=hint of atmosphere to watch it. They really could not care less about their football here, they had a bloody countdown to the rugby world cup in the main square in Christchurch, and that is over a year away! I really don't want to resort to watching in on a stream, but that might have to suffice
  16. It takes about 90 seconds of google searching to find... Post horn right-click, save as, blah blah...
