I must admit I am being slightly optimistic in tipping them for 4th, but they can defend and if anyone can make use of that Arab Money, it's your boy O'Neill.
Haven't converted them from wma files, so you may want to download a free wav-to-mp3 converter, or simply burn them onto a CD. Somebody let me know if this doesn't work.
Incase you didn't know already. Wav & WMA are not the same thing Duder.
WMA is the Microsoft version of MP3. It's a better quality encoder than MP3, but it never caught on.
Wav is generally format your computer will record audio in. It's high quality and uncompressed, which is why it makes such large files.
You can only downgrade in file types & bit rates. For example converting a Wav into a MP3 @ 320, you'll get a much smaller file, suitable for uploading, but you'll loose quality.
If you have a MP3 @ 320, converting it to a Wav will not increase the quality, just the file size.
So if your WMA are encoded at the highest bit rate, you'll actually loose quality by converting them to MP3.
I must admit I am being slightly optimistic in tipping them for 4th, but they can defend and if anyone can make use of that Arab Money, it's your boy O'Neill.
Being a former Wycombe Wanderers supporter, I have a very high opinion of O'Neil. Although he seems to be floundering a little of late. I know the Villa supporting side of my family rate him, they seriously believed they could push for the title 2 seasons ago.
I think he has some magic touch though, in a similar way to Arsenal players who've left and flopped, Villa players seem to go downhill after leaving.
Aside from that.
What kind of fucked up world is it that values, James 'the donkey' Milner and Cesc 'WC winner' Fabregas in remotely the same ballpark?

I'm not sure. I can only imagine it's something to do with the extra money an England international brings in through shirt-sales.
Who ever owned a Heskey shirt then?

Somebody remind me what O'Neill has actually won again? The SPL doesn't count - all you need to do to be proclaimed a great manager in the SPL is win the Old Firm games and qualify for the Champions League. It's no measure of anything. FFS, Graeme Souness was a success in the SPL. People talk about what O'Neill did at Leicester, but the whole thing collapsed as soon as he left, so whatever his achievements, building a solid foundation obviously wasn't one of them. He's one of those managers who can take a club so far but no further, and I don't see him achieving any more at Villa than he already has done. Him getting the Liverpool job would have been the worst thing that could have happened to us.
I like O'Neill the man, he's an entertaining interviewee and seems a decent enough bloke. I'm slightly torn on how highly to rate him as a manager as he seems trapped in the same cycle of most Villa bosses, always being on the cusp of pushing into the top four but never quite making it.
Would be interested to see what he did with a proper budget though.
BTW, props for the mixes L*o, that Coldcut one in particular looks like a proper blast from the past.

I think the days of a manager taking a lower level Premier League side and turning them into champions, through grit and guile, are long gone. It's just not a level playing field anymore thanks to the the money involved, especially with the likes of Chel$ki and MoneyCity.
But outside the PL O'Neill has done just that. He turned Wycombe Wanderers into champions and took them up two flights, to a previously undreamed of position. He won the Cup with Leicester City twice, taking them into Europe. His record at Celtic speaks for its self.

Maynor Figueroa and Royston Drenthe to be unveiled at Anfield within the next 24 hours, along with an announcement about two serious bidders for the club. To add that touch of "baggage handler at John Lennon Int'l Airport" authenticity, stadium tours have reportedly been suspended tomorrow, as one of those potential buyers is being shown around...

So he's a slightly more successful version of Graeme Souness or Kevin Keegan, then?
Not that they're middling achievements, but I don't see how they necessarily make O'Neill anything extraordinary as a manager.

Comparing him to Souness or Keegan is a real stretch. Yes it's still undecided whether he's an extraordinary manager or not, but his record so far is exemplary. We'll never really know until he goes to a big club. I could see him taking over from Fergie, especially if ManU's money troubles persist.
Speaking of ManPoo
Manchester United defeated by the ten men of Kansas City Wizards
Kansas City Wizards 2-1 Manchester United
Despite enjoying an extra man advantage for much of the match, Manchester United were unable to avoid an embarrassing defeat to Kansas City Wizards in a friendly tonight. Jimmy Conrad was sent off for the Wizards after 41 minutes for a last-man foul on Dimitar Berbatov, who scored United's equaliser from the resulting penalty, but the hosts still earned a gutsy win.
The Wizards took the lead after just 11 minutes when Davy Arnaud took advantage of a slack offside trap and fired past an exposed Ben Amos in the United goal. The young goalkeeper was not helped by the travails of those in front of him, with the right-back Rafael Da Silva struggling in particular.
United were without their World Cup players, such as Wayne Rooney, Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, but were still able to field a strong line-up, with Berbatov, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes involved. It was Berbatov and Giggs who combined for the equaliser, the Welshman's pass releasing the Bulgarian striker, who was chopped down by Conrad. Berbatov dusted himself off to convert the penalty.
Yet United were level for just a minute as the 10 men instantly regained their lead, Kei Kamara heading past Amos. The goal was enough to secure an impressive win for the Wizards, with United showing a worrying lack of invention in the second half.
I'm guessing two of those three would be Stekelenburg and Suarez but no idea who else Arsene would be taking from there unless Mido is going to rush back to form a dream team with Bendtner?
Hadn't seen the Beckham story but suspect that I'm at the point where my brain actually self censors any reference to Goldenballs in the sports pages.
If Man U don't find some funds, or some really good players coming through the yoot system, Citeh fans will soon be able to laugh that you guys ARE history.
Torres and Balotelli?
or unproven Obertan?
I'm hoping the grow-your-own model works though, as Wenger's been talking it up for years now.
I still think reports of the death of the red devils are greatly exaggerated.
After all we almost did the quadruple two seasons ago and, last year, in a season absolutely plagued by injuries, still won the league cup, lost the league by a single point and threw away a winning position in a Champions League QF.
We definitely need some of the young talent to come good but I don't think we're up shit creek without a paddle yet by any means.
Alongside more established names that are only gonna get better, Fletcher, Nani, Evans, Anderson, Valencia and urm Berbatov.
These names don't exactly inspire the fear previous ManU squads did.
Fergie seems like the opposite of Wenger, he likes to fill his teams with defensive players, do you even have a creative attacking midfield playmaker? Where as at Arsenal we have a whole squad of them, and Song.
I think that's meant to be a picture of Alan Hansen.
Alex has been deploying Carrick and Scholes as the ball-playing midfielders as neither can really defend. Fletcher plays a more box-to-box role. Anderson is an attacking midfielder despite his lack of goals. Gibson is being used in a more advanced role cos his ability from range. Cleverley got 11 goals in 33 games at Watford last season (most likely on loan again this season though).
I don't see many weaknesses in the Un*ted side, other than age. Fergie not usually one for getting things wrong, which is why they've been so successful. Ferdinand was missed, but there is still enough of a core there to give Chelsea a run for their money, and Roonaldo will have a point to prove after such a lacklustre jog in Serth Ifrika.
City were mid-table shambolic before the coin came. There was no consistency to the squad like Chelsea had pre-Abramovich. There still isn't, but the inconsistency is being weaned out - it'll take a couple of seasons to establish who plays best with who but there is progress. No more 8-1 rhapings by Middlesborough seem on the cards.
I don't see too many Citeh fans I.R.L. talmbout winning the league this season, other than message board goading.
if berbz finds his groove having valencia and nani on each side is as deadly as any top world squad
factor in rooney and rafael living up to his potential (i've lost hope in anderson)
hernandez will have immediate impact and grow for years to come
its a good squad nowhere near ''despair/doom)
and i hate manU
citeh better get there coaching and team work down
if you thought ballotelli was an asshole before in milan imagine him ballin with adebayor in england
Comments
I do too.
Supposed excellent man-manager, in the style of Cloughie, without the ego or desire to chin Roy Keane.
I must admit I am being slightly optimistic in tipping them for 4th, but they can defend and if anyone can make use of that Arab Money, it's your boy O'Neill.

Taking bets on the headline "Royston Crazy!" being used in the near few-char.

Berbs wins.
Or the one where some paper claimed Arsene was going to buy 3 players from Ajax. (Maybe if they were offering buy-1-get-2-free)
Hadn't seen the Beckham story but suspect that I'm at the point where my brain actually self censors any reference to Goldenballs in the sports pages.

The new owners of West Ham are making a lot of noise this summer. Can't be long till they go bust then.
Calvente wins
ridonkudonk
balotelli to citeh
they have seemingly endless funds as they reload and set their preverbial sniper for torres
