Off Topic How long is Rafa Benitez going to last in his dream job?

We have the 4 note and I like it a lot.

When I went back home to Ireland my bro thought it was a phone Imagine using that biatch as a phone

 

Display is very nice no question.

I am waiting to see how good new ones are.

I have started saving for one last release and every time spent it on something so I have started now and hope to have the cash saved by the release to buy one.

 

Ah the note tabs are different.

 

I don't bother MITO not until the newer one is out for ages with a few new firwares. People get ripped off paying a massive price for what is a marginal increase in performance and features.

 

Indeed. For screen size v overall tablet size I have to go with the note, I feel like a twat with an iPad in public

 

I agree but then compared to other android tabs of those days the samsung was at least level.

The kids tab 3 is ideal but I must say charging is disastrous.

The newer generations have I think Samsung right up there

The surface pro or some of the hp detach screen ones are ok for business etc but tabs are not really business imo. They are home and on the train etc type stuff.

I like the Samsung displays.

 

I know... the tab s will drop to really cheap when the come out. I wanna see the spec but I want to put the cash away.

 

I suppose if one is a "fan boy" they might have to have the new one post haste

 

Have you looked at comparison websites? Sometimes helps if you weren't sure about display, compatibility etc. you find stuff you didn't know was important till you see the one you like the look of, doesn't do it or have it. My lads have gone Apple - Samsung - Apple just because of iTunes and apps mostly. Samsung used to ditch all the music for some unknown reason. But at the end of the day it's personal preference. Hardware vs software ....

 

There's a big difference. It's not about the money on its own. I use the term manufactured bcos I look at where City were before the money and the transition after. In any decade in the last 60 years United's expectations, their standards, the players and dare I say the glamour, has always been there. And even when we went through our worst periods we came through them by trial and tribulation but remained true to the identity of the club. In the mid-70's had we turfed out virtually our entire squad and replaced them with a completely new team of some of the best players in the world (in effect changing the complete identity of the team overnight) then that would have been manufactured but that's never been the case. Whereas City basically pimped their ride!

 

Agree with the first part. Second bit is bollox though.

 

Utd's spending last season and the promise of more of the same this coming season is only the same thing as City did but using a different method.
The game has changed and so has the way of owning clubs, in a few years if they are still achieving success their owners money won't be remembered as their main source of income and their modern day status will then just be accepted like any other club.

 

You're really not reading what I'm saying. I give up

 

Trust me I do, you mean players bought by the club etc were purchased with money earned by the club through success on the pitch and good business acumen off it.

 

By mid 70s the world class players do You mean the likes of Martin Buchan, Gordon McQueen, Stuart Pearson, Lou Macari and the Greenhoffs etc?

 

No to both ^^^

You oaths! I cant be ar5ed, I've tried to explain it twice ffs

 

Think Trebs is saying the opposite to what you think abc, the words "had we" being the key words.

 

Well stop mumbling and explain it properly.

 

I say it's a manufactured team - meaning artificial. Imagine if FSG had come with a fck off wad of cash. They hire Rodgers. At that point in relatively recent history you have won the CL, FA cup and Carling cup. You have a squad with Gerrard, Carragher, Reina, Agger, Coutinho, Sterling breaking through and possibly Sturridge? I'm setting the scene here, hope you appreciate it you tosser!

Rodgers takes the fck off wad of cash and buys half a dozen quality signings - all either worldies or considered some of the best players in the world. Liverpool go on to win the league. That is NOT a manufactured team. You took a side with players true to your identity who understand the club, were already a part of it, some had success with it, and you added to it (using a huge sum of cash) Nobody is going to say "hey that's not of the last 35 years".

Now look at City, relegated countless times in 30 years and even down to the 3rd division during the prem era. An absolute yoyo club playing dire football and looking completely lost (setting the scene). Then the money rolls in and virtually overnight out go Darius Vassel, Stephen Ireland, Sun Jihai, Richard Dunne and... well virtually everyone. In comes a whole squad of worldies and some of the best players in the world and the team is not just improved but IS a completely different team. One that lacks the identity of the club and virtually full of players who play for themselves with no real roots to the club. That is what I call manufactured.
