the sport of being bought out and bankrupted by little funny looking americans.They are undefeated in that one.

ok ok ok stop it... I admit it....i hate Owen.Houlliers favouratism for Owen ruined Robbie.Took all his confidence away before making him move from his boyhood club. I hate him.For me Robbie represents the under dog hero and ill always love him for it.Im not gay.But that little midget ruined my hero!!!!!!!!!

Under Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez or Mourinho he would have been amazing.

Jol as well .

He is your childhood hero, so your views are somewhat tarnished. Fowler was good in the mid 90's, during his "peak years" he lost heart, gained weight and took drugs. I agree that he was a good striker, but he wasn't/isn't in the world class category, which Owen is. Houllier liked the big/little striker combination that meant either Heskey and Owen and if Owen was injured Fowler would get a game. Obviously, my views on Heskey is that he is a useless sack of shit, but he won more balls in the air than Fowler(for Owen to run onto) and he played better with Owen than Fowler. It's very similar to the situation at Spurs with Keane and Defoe.

I can't see Keane singing a new contract at Spurs (which runs out in the summer) I would play Defoe in front of Keane every game, but they have dropped him. The Spurs board/Jol think that by playing Keane they are trying to entice him into signing a new contract by saying " look you're No1 striker" but Keane knows that Defoe is number one and he is actually playing for a transfer, not trying to cement his place as 1st choice at Spurs.

Roll on the summer and Dirk Kuyt

1 Fowler never took drugs.He actually said in a interview that some one in his family died from drug abuse,which affected him deeply and has never used them.I hope your not refering to the snorting the line goal celebration.

2 Fowler is not world class? Owen is?..Now I  dont know you Nemesis,i dont know if you ever played foot ball , or how much you watch it., so I dont know where you understanding of football comes from.
But...Fowler was world class.The most natural goal scorer of his generation.He has the kind of natural timing that comes along every 20 years.And he was what he was being a slow fucker, somehting that makes his achievements even more remarkable.

Owen is not world class.never has been, never will be.His finishing skills come from hours on the training pitch,trying to improve.He is a manufactured finisher(a bit like beckham,another grinder,altho beckham was world class on the right wing at Man u), anyone who saw Owen is his early days could see this.Owen has 2 things going for him,his mental focus and his speed.Without his speed he would be nothing.In fact every time owen gets the ball out side the box and has to "play  real" football i feel embarrased for him.VanBasten was world class,owen is no where near that level.

Good post by Riverdave and the tank.
Bankroll management is very important.I learnt my lesson playing 1/2 no limit on a 1 k bankroll and almost going broke.
I currently 4 table  50c/$1 nl (6 max) and i wont move up untill i have a 20 k bank roll. The usual guide for no limit i 20 buy ins. Although this is a little more , 20k would alow me to play my A game.This may seem consevative , but i really dont see a rush in moving up, as taking your time will give you more tme to learn, Also building a roll is a good guide as to if you are ready to move up.I am pretty sure i can beat the 1/2 nl  game...why risk going broke when i am currently crushing the 100nl and building a proper roll?

Thanks for all the poitive feed back... its really motivating.
weirwizard, when i lost the money my state of mind wast really at  its best, lets just say i lost it in a haze.But it did let me see that i was a person who was addicted to the losing cycle....like some gamblers.I got no joy from losing.The only way that i was going to play poker was if i won... same goes now...if i wasnt a winning player then i wouldnt play.Infact if it wasnt my job now i dont really know how much time id spend playing.... for me the ego boost from out thinking some one is limited....im just after the money.I would probably play live more if it wasnt my job.
And by "pro" i mean i am a full time internet player.All my game is geared to the inter net.My reads and stratergy are tuned for the internet.I dont know how well i would do live.I get terribly bored plying cash games live.When i play on the internet i listen to the radio or surf the net.The boredom of live play puts me on tilt a little.And yes i only play No Limit holdem for the moment.If i was a live cash game player in vegas say... i would probably have to learn how to play mixed limit cash games....but i dont for now.

Thanks so much for the feed back.I will try not to swaer.Thanks again.im so happy some one liked it.

thanks

I found it a bit strange and disapointing that they didnt post more diaries this year.I would have thought that the diariy enteries were one reason that poeple kept coming back.If they lost the contract with prima because of the lower hit count and therefore a lower new player sign up rate i think  this is partly to blame.To me the Mobs results show that they are not really viable tournament players,without the Prima Deal.

I would have like to see diary enteries from four average guys who got really lucky ,were living the dream that all of us have, ie, to fly around the world playing in huge tournaments for free.I would have liked to hear stories of their experiences and annecdotes and trip reports.
But some where along the way thay started believing that they were actually world class players, and didnt have to write a diary or maintain the level of interest in the site.The database is good. But surely the hook is contact with 4 pros  playing in big tournaments, and hearing their advice and experiences.?.Although Joe and Barny did try their best, the other two were lame.

I mean even Negreanu writes a blog every 2 days or so... and he is 1 guy with alot more talent that all of the mob.Althought to a certain extent he is self publiciising...he doesnt have to worry a bout a million $ contract ,because he is very much a viable tournament player..I would have loved a contract like that.And i would have done alot more to try and keep it...especially on the diary and forum front.I wonder if they have another deal lined up?....and if they dont i wonder if Ross and Ram and to a lesser extent the other 2 regret not managing a weekly diary or more forum posts?
They have a valuable brand...i wonder if it can be salvaged?
