Glad I have - it's got rid of that annoying pop-up window from the top right hand corner of the screen for a start!
Mario is a tricky one for me. I find the guy endlessly charming off the pitch and I see the potential for huge growth as a player on it. However I fear Bobby Manc may waste too much of his energy focusing on the growth of this one player when his time could be better spent focusing on the growth of the team as a whole. Mario strikes me as the type to need almost constant man management. We're at the stage in our history (I refuse to call the club I've supported since primary school a project) where we can't afford to spend all our time and effort on one player in the hope he'll one day be a world beater.
Hopefully I'm wrong. There is nothing I'd like more than someone to quote this post in a years time when Mario has netted us 18 goals in the prem and tell me I was letting myself worry over nothing. Come on Balo mate, prove me wrong.

Everyone campaigning for selling Mario will regret it in 5 years time. He is the sort of player that we could sell to another club and then 5 years later watch as he matures and they reap the rewards. If he was English the media would already be bigging him up as our 2014 world cup saviour. Because he isn't English he is apparently petulant and anything he does it criticised.

As I have said before this may well be true but are we as a club in a strong enough position to give him that five years. We are just breaking into the top 4, playing champions league. We need are players in the here and now not for what they might do in the future. We need him to step up now, we don't have the luxury of five years.

You should post more often, mate.
I'm not yet at the end of my tether, but I'm certainly three quarters of the way down.
I still think he's worth the risk but he's got to start delivering - and now.
