Yeah, but we all start at that base level. We're talking levels of geekness well beyond that now.

[Confused Clarity]

Theres actually people where i work that play it every night and talk about playing it. They also take their PCs round each others houses to play it together.

I really don't understand it. The South Park WoW episode is the best thing about that game in my opinion.

Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to test Barcelona’s weakening resolve to hang on to £25million-rated striker Samuel Eto’o.

Talks have been held between Manchester United and the Spanish giants amid persistent rumours of a rift between the Cameroon international and Barca’s Brazilian pin-up, Ronaldinho.

[bolton1987]

We could have signed him 3 years ago for 4M euros

Anyone else would be talking about a computer game with a comment like that. Eddie was actually shooting Russians

[Confused Clarity]

they were probably not Russians tbh. More likely from some Random Eastern bloc country over here making money off some kind of sex slave racket.

they were Russians. This I know.

Cant see us selling or Giggs every leaving. The lad deserves to see out his career here and i hope he breaks Charltons record.

Giggs has been a legend and still has a lot to offer its just that he cant start everygame anymore.

Eto'o admits Liverpool liking

Samuel Eto'o has admitted he would be tempted by a move to Liverpool - amid reports the Reds have already launched a bid for him.

Eto'o has been continually linked with a move to England in recent months, with Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United all credited with an interest.

Eto'o has now spoken about Liverpool particularly - whilst Spanish sources claim the Anfield outfit have offered Xabi Alonso plus cash to Barcelona for the Cameroonian ace.

"The great thing about Liverpool is their team spirit. It is very strong," he explained in the Sunday Mirror.

"But, for me, it is their fans who win matches for Liverpool because they have so much power. They are fantastic. Any player would love to have those types of fans behind him. I have played at Anfield in the Champions League quarter-final so I know all about their fantastic supporters.

"It would be wonderful to have that kind of support as a Liverpool player but I really don't know what will happen in the next two years.

"Every time I turn around so many things have happened and changed. So I can't think about it yet.

"But you never know.

"If I play in the Premiership I will be the first to say. It won't be in the newspapers - I will be the one to break the news!"

Eto'o denied having any contact with other clubs and feels he is set to remain at Barcelona.

"I have not heard anything from Liverpool or anyone else. These things don't come through to me," he said.

"I'm only thinking about next season and I will be here next season. But every year that passes things become a bit more difficult.

"English football has changed a lot for the better over the past few years. I've seen English teams playing matches which have been very exciting.

"It's been like watching a dream team. Chelsea have been spectacular at times - they have played real football.

"And when I saw Liverpool play Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final I was impressed by the way Liverpool played a more strategic, attacking game.

"There was dribbling and great skill in that match. And when we played them I thought, 'Are we playing against Liverpool or a Spanish team?'

"I love the way the fans in England get behind their team. I respect their mentality. They are so positive in supporting their own team rather than, as happens in Spain, being against the opposition.

"That's the big difference between England and Spain."

Chelsea play real football?

"But I can assure them that I am not and I'll be out to prove that next season.

"I have two years left on my contract and the manager did everything to keep me at the club last summer. I have no reason to believe anything has changed.

"He even told me recently that he still has full confidence in me, so I will definitely be here next year.

"I see my future with the club for as long as the manager still wants me in his team."
