    Well done to Arsenal, I hope they go on to win it. Then Chelsea will be the only non-'top 4' English teams that hasn't won the CL. It'd be sweet. Even more sweet will be the Barca vs Milan SF :D

    Last movie you've seen?

    Hmm.. I also hated Goodfellas the first time I saw it, I think it's because seeing good movies with a bunch of friends tends to undermine my enjoyment somewhat. I liked Raging Bull a lot more than Goodfellas, King of Comedy too.

    Tideland

    The trailer for Terry Gilliam's latest offering is out. Fuck me if that's not the spookiest official movie site I've ever seen. I'd call it nightmarish, but the synopsis makes it out to be something more along the lines of 'magical' instead. Looks like it's a lot more interesting than The...

    Hmm.. 11 points gap between Barca and 2nd, pretty unlikely that they'll drop 12 points in the last 6 matches. If Real drop any more points any slim hopes they have are over. As for the race for the 4th CL spot in the PL, there are still 4 contenders: Bolton, Blackburn, Arsenal and Spurs. At...

    Damn you Bolton, how could you let United get back. Looks like the Reds' chances for automatic quailfication are over. On another note, Milan loses a brilliant chance to close the gap on Juve to just 5. Title race over in Italy? And it looks like Spurs' Champions League chase is in deeper shit...

    V for Vendetta

    I liked it, possibly because I haven't read the graphic novel. The politics of it is obviously quite half baked, and the romance very much tacked on, but still pretty good fun. 4 stars out of 5 from me.

    Tristan and Isolde

    I hear it follows the legend fairly closely, except for the love potion element.

    Youth Allowance

    Probably less actually, considering that we broadcast to Chinese in China and Chinese abroad such as myself as well. That's 4 times the total population of all of Australia though, no? Edit: Damn, shouldn't have followed your percentages.

    Youth Allowance

    Haha.. :p If it were up to me, you'd have one free lunch :p Unfortunately I have a big assessment pileup middle of next week so I'll be busy studying. Our chief correspondent would probably be happy to get you coffee over the interview though :p

    Youth Allowance

    Hi all :p I work for Phoenix TV News, a Hong Kong based satellite news network (like a Chinese CNN). I was wondering if there are any non-scholarship, non-Asian students on youth allowance who would like to take part in a brief interview. Outside scholarships, Uni students in China receive no...

    I wonder how many people will actually turn out at the Stadio Delle Alpi to cheer on Juve come next week. It's pretty sad for one of Europe's great teams to be incapable mustering enough support for any advantage at home, I suspect that's part of the reason why they weren't able to get that 1...

    Neh, Juventus is actually slipping a little in the Serie A now. They're starting to turn to shit at the wrong end of the season just as Milan are coming good.

The guy's obviously trying to toe the Mourinho line and failing miserably. Here's a transcript of it for people who don't have real player. Interviewer: What about...

    One day God will strike down Chelsea and everyone associated with it. It doesn't matter what form he takes.. Jehovah..Allah.. L Ron Hubbard.. Robbie Fowler, whoever, as long as it happens. Meanwhile, here's an amusing article where the CEO of Everton tries to fob off the G-14. How about you try...

    Alonso tends to really step it up with Stevie's out, best performance from him all season last night.

    Last movie you've seen?

    No no.. I'm pretty sure I'd like it more if I watched it again, I was just too tired the first time.
