Its not everyday Sam `Shackleton ` brings out some new tunes, but he slipped out a new "12 this week, totally unannounced as is his want, heard it about 6 times now, still the same multi-layered, rhythmic detail he`s been renowned for recently, its like a signature. The mans rep. for quality m...

Have picked up a c.1980 BSA Tour de France frame for £10...there are forks but they're damaged.
It's a start as I'm trying to do build for sub £150.

Stuart X.Hunter

@runaway

Indeed I will...although I think there's some manufacturer that has a hub now to deal with vertical dropouts.

Just on the frame hunt at the minute...which is good fun

@James T

I get what you're saying James but c'mon how long Mansour' been there and they always bet on foreign.

Anyway it's part of the "no risk/must win" philosophy...I'd just love to see something in that team with youth and verve when the regular has dull days. I'm sure you would too.

@runaway

That's the type. Just something simple (but disgustingly bright!) when out with the family.
The fixed/track and not the bmx type setup.

You'll be the go to guy with questions I'll invariably have

Stuart X.Hunter

I think James calls this game about right. City were geared up to get a lead and try and see it out. Roma arrived with the intention of not losing. Toure is getting stick all over the place today but a moment to mark Roma tactics rather than criticise a player who appears a bit down in the dumps. Ro...

Going to begin buying and building a single speed...hopefully from some lurid 70's or 80's racer.

Has anyone done anything similar...may need a sounding board!

@ King Harry ...the point i was trying to make was that there has always been a nucleus of Academy players promoted to the first team squad. Academy players make up ~45% of the first team squad currently (not counting loaned out like Cleverly, Keane or Powell or straight to first team guys like Roon...

Stuart X.Hunter

I've never knocked the Glazers; sure they've leveraged the club but they have always been open to investment in the squad and it is not Man Utd tradition to buy a team anyway . Strange comment. Utd have broken the British transfer record multiple times - Robson, Pallister, Keane, Cole, Ferdinand, V...

Stuart X.Hunter

Di Maria is maybe what we need in 12months but not at the minute. It's a commercial signing...if it happens...I mean minus Rooney and RVP we are not particularly blessed with globally identifiable names. As if by magic the share price increased overnight to a monthly high And good job Man City...ma...

Stuart X.Hunter

@cantona I don't really follow the Di Maria link...if you think a little on what LVG sais...in that he also "likes Messi and Vidal" you begin to question if he understands the potential signing either. Di Maria is maybe what we need in 12months but not at the minute. It's a commercial sign...

Stuart X.Hunter

I am really disappointed today - I expected more from Manchester United.We have a lot of injuries but that is no excuse. We need some leaders and 3 or 4 new players. Dont be too disappointed...expectation can be cruel. Think about it for 22 years there has been little challenge to achieving a top f...

you're talking about mangala? don't see it myself. that it being wrapped up & a guaranteed success. for a few reasons - chiefly he's admitted he's not fully fit (which raises it's own questions about the wisdom of the signing) but also; he couldn't get in that france defence ahead of sackho and...

Stuart X.Hunter

I think City have just secured the league with that signing.

Had them and Chelsea very close but to add a quality defender to go with the others they have I can't see it going anywhere else.

Phenomenal squad...hope they get it right in Europe this season too.

So, Suarez case is off to cas on Friday and it is believed an "express" ruling will be made sometime earlier next week. Such a shame that the FIFA appeals committee are unable to do things in express mode...or even follow precedent FCB are on target to spend 200m EUR this transfer window.....

An interesting choice in Barkley and I think loaning him back for even two years would pay dividends. Certainly Chelsea appear to have had success with Courtois using that philosophy. I don't see (but perhaps I'm I'll informed) the skill set at City yet to allow younger players to blossom. The reser...

Stuart X.Hunter

I had wondered if the signing was to do with Yaya. I'm not sure why he is so restless; he's at a club that is competing on all fronts and unlike other pop-up clubs, he's at one that is having a real go at establishing a proper legacy. In your opinion is he settled in his position? He seemed to be af...

Southampton can now buy three Dani Osvaldo'!

Keeping an eye on whats happening with two I...

Messi - player of the tournament!!!

There were two or three in his own team alone ahead of him.

Enjoyed the final; perfect goal to win it really.

Stuart X.Hunter

A bit predictable last night with Holland never really breaking sweat. Brazil have serious problems; defence that can't defend, midfield like a stud-wall partition and creative players terrified of taking on the ball. From a personal point it was a chance to for me to completely warm to Liberace Van...

Who cares? You'd expect German players to wear Adidas - they always have. It's not like some compelling evidence of Adidas taking over the world that 2 teams that have always worn adidas ... are still wearing adidas. Never mentioned anything about adidas taking over the world but did state that the...

Stuart X.Hunter

Adidas have been on a serious offensive trying to become the dominant brand once more - see the World Cup Final on Sunday. Adidas have made Argentina kit for a generation - and obviously German kit since logos were put on football shirts - so the WCup final shows nothing of the sort. So maintaining...

Stuart X.Hunter

4 seasons ago Man Utd were selling 1.5million kits and you may or may not have noticed shirts alone retail from between £25 and £75 GBP worldwide. So based on 2010 sales Adidas would break even at worst and have there brand continually in the public eye. The deal may also be heavily upfront weighted...

Paris is great; a very compact city that in decent shoes you can walk round for hours. However I just marvel at the transport system!

Have to say, I'm falling out of love with this tournament. I can't see Brazil/Germany being anything other than a torturous grind, and while Holland/Argentina has all the makings of a classic, on paper at least, i've a feeling it will quickly descend into a cynical kicking match. My feelings exactl...

So predictions for the QF's? I'm a bit saddened that since I've been in Spain, Chile were knocked out as I love watching them.

if not for the keeper brasil would have won 5/6-0. to knock them due to a 10/10 performance from the keeper- most of the shots hitting or straight at him (though the header save was brilliant) seems very harsh in my book That's not the case at all, I think Brazil managed to fashion 2 decent opportu...

Did anyone pick up on the attention paid by the Italians to prevent Gerrard getting on the ball? I thought Prandelli tactics were so very astute.

Bit of a controversy in the nat'l goalkeeper for Spain, either Iker Casillas or Diego Lopez. I mentioned this during the CL final against Athletico Madrid.
