Did we think they were Man Utd and we had to donate them points?

Haven't we put up with some rubbish until Unai?

Especially after that goal

He went up the Traore scale from Adama to Bertrand with that!

A touch of Traore about him

That was a great disappointment for me to though I still enjoyed 4 in the end. Pikmin 3 I enjoy more than wonder if that helps. I appreciate wonder and can see how clever it is but I don't feel the addiction to play it like I do with Pikmin

Now we go on to win

I guess it's a start

Looks like the old Ramsay is back

From what you guys have written about Calcutta,I have decided to do the ;Golden triangle" and add 3/5 days in Calcutta.I was born in Calcutta in 1942 ( my parents were fighting the Japaneese ) I looked it up and see that a few places that  I remember are still around.Radha bazaar,H awkers corner,the Regal picture theatre and the school that I went to.FYI my parents were English,,I am English ( although I have never lived in England ) We left Calcutta in 1950 and I have never been back since,that is going to change early next year.

Did you go?

I'm in India right now, Kerala, unable to sleep and delving into the forums I never usually visit. This has been a good read, I'm ready for the next India trip

Have any of you guys played Dave the Diver? I've really been enjoying that. There's a free demo even if you want to try it

My confidence is oozing away

John Gregory always seemed like a nice guy.

When I started at Villa, I didn't know about the accepted protocol of calling the manager "boss" or "gaffer" and so, trying to be polite and respectful, I called him "Mr. Gregory", to which he instantly said "call me John".

The next day, I'm in the treatment room with some of the players and Gregory walks in. They all go "morning gaffer" and I go "hi John".  

Alan Thompson nearly spat his tea out and said "what the f*** are you doing?" 

I said "what do you mean?"

"You are meant to call him boss or gaffer"

"He said to call me John" I said

"Yeah, but he didn't mean it!"

"Well he should have said so!" I said.

 

The funniest Gregory (or more accurately Doug) story I heard was told  to be by Gary Megson as told to him by John Gregory.

 

Gregory was having a meeting with Doug, at the end of which Doug decided they needed to book a followup and put the initials of everyone required in his diary.

 

"JG - John GORDON (apparently he kept calling him that), SS - Steve Stride and Me".

 

At the next meeting, Doug says "so let's see if we have everyone - JG, that's you, John Gordon, SS - that's you - Steve Stride but who is ME?"

Gregory says "that's me chairman".

Doug says "No, NO - you're JG - John Gordon".

 

I heard that second story in the voice of Monty Burns instead of Doug

I'm playing Wonder as well. It's exciting and pretty but I keep thinking about Pikmin 4

He seems like a good egg, does Duran. 

Apparently he even came back out to some of the kids and gave one his boots before signing autographs. Really good guy!

You can never trust what happens on the first day of the season

Over from Ireland and coming to a match for the first time in more than 5 years, we'd better play to our potential!

Disappointing seeing @Rissoand @JB’s reactions to this. 
 

I’ll still buy it and play it to death, but it’s dampened my expectations somewhat as I trust you guys’ opinions on Zelda. 

I hope you do try it. I've not even been on here since I got it to avoid spoilers. I must be getting towards 150 hours in and I am loving it. It's not perfect but what is? I like the foreboding of the depths and I think the story is miles better than botw.

I found it hard to decouple my brain from the old abilities to be able to apply the new ones. But now I realise they made the tedious activity of botw disappear with these new abilities

Same here! Just the one of me

Reviews make it look immense

I've got to tame my excitement and wait a couple of weeks to get it. Moving house and work are taking up way too much time.

But once we're moved in I'll reward myself with this,. Can't wait!

I'm in the same boat for different reasons! Yet I'm as excited as I've been in years for a game

Seems eminently sensible to me!

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 physical is on sale. It's only about 20% off, but these games rarely go on sale so it's tough. They stopped printing XBC1 Definitive Edition while I was waiting for it to go down, so I have a decision I need to make 

I'm playing this at the moment and it's worth the money if you like this type of game. Good characters too

Tears of the Kingdom footage surely? Pikmin 4?

Anyone played Xenoblade chronicles 3? I just got it. Any early game tips? But no spoilers please

I find that if I set my expectations to that'll it'll be a port and never much more that I'm not disappointed with Nintendo
