Day 1 = campers paradise Day 2 = server problems There are far too many windows, corners, boxes and various other objects and obstacles for people to camp at. I just wish people would run around and try to get familiar with the maps. Camp all you want in a week or two when I'm used to it but not from day **** one! The hit detection is a joke too! Fire shitloads of bullets at someone but they turn around, shoot you and kill you!!! Due to the server problems I've managed to play one game in the last 24 hours! Very frustrating. Not a good start for me with this game so far! I just hope that the servers are fixed and running smoothly by the time I get home from work this afternoon because I've got some catching up to do!

Hernandez wasn't in the box though! Clark had THREE chances to get a tackle in he but failed to do so. Watch the replay and if you've got a football brain you'll see what I mean. His positioning was poor in the first place! I've been saying for ages that I'm not a big fan of his. Vlaar definitely needs an experienced partner to be signed in January. I'm not a fan of Dunne either but I wouldn't mind seeing how he'd play alongside Vlaar.

As soon as their first went in I just knew they'd at least grab a second! Then when they did, there was only ever going to be one winner! It just pisses me off at the amount of silly goals we concede. If teams were ripping us apart with great attacking play then I'd say fair play but that wasn't the case against Utd! First goal = Stevens was too deep when we tried to play offside but at the same time Clark's positioning was poor then he didn't do enough to stop Hernandez. I've seen the replay and he had two chances to get a foot in but he didn't! Second goal = Bannan totally fluffing it when all he had to do was smash it clear then Utd go on to get a lucky deflection. Third goal = Stupid free kick to give away by El Ahmadi then once again we are let down by schoolboy defending at set pieces. There are definitely positives to be taken from the game but it doesn't matter if you're playing Man Utd or Mansfield, if you are 2-0 up at home you shouldn't lose the game!

Benteke is a beast! We've got a real talent on our hands here. Rio Ferdinand is shit now but him and Smalling won't be forgetting who Benteke is any time soon! I initially thought he'd miss controlled and the ball had gone out of play for a throw in before he ran down the wing and made Smalling look silly. His dummy in the build up to our second was nice too. The crazy thing is that he's only 21 and he's new to the Premier League. The more he settles in, the better he will become. It's early days but if he does continue to improve, imagine how good he'll be when he's 25/26! Whether he'll still be here by then is another story though unfortunately.

Overall, I thought he did alright against Utd BUT, their second goal was Bannan's fault. He totally fluffed it when all he had to do was smash it clear. Given a solid run of games, the three of Bannan, Westwood and Ireland could be decent but Bannan has got to improve defensively in this deeper role!

Before the game, the thought of him up against Valencia was worrying but he did ok. There were a few times where he got caught ball watching and he really should have done better for their third goal but overall he did ok.

Impressive so far. Will only get better.

Didn't Mitt Romney lose in Massachusetts? I imagine losing in the state where you are the governor must be pretty demoralizing!

39/40. Gutted! I had just over a minute left and I just could not think who the missing one was. To be honest, I don't think I would have thought of him if there was no time limit! Damn you Barbarian! Not exactly an obscure wrestler but he just didn't come to mind.

Just got back from Smackdown. It was ok. Nowhere near as good as RAW last night but I still enjoyed it.

See, I'm split on my MW3 experience. Part of me thinks it was average due to the majority of the maps being shit but the other part of me thinks it was alright. I have got a total score of 10.2 million and I have got over 100,000 kills which would probably make people think that I love the game but if it wasn't for my mates I wouldn't have played it half as much! Playing in a "clan" with mates is funny, especially as we all have headsets. It's good banter. There's no way that I'd be able to enjoy multiplayer if none of my mates played.

This time next week I shall be waiting rather impatiently for the postman to arrive! I've got the Tuesday and Wednesday off work so I think it's safe to say that this game will be getting absolutely hammered over those two days! The mrs won't be too pleased (especially when next weekend rolls around and I abandon other arrangements to stay at home and play this instead) but she knows the drill when I'm in geek mode!

Ha ha ha! Oh shit! I didn't see the event so that's the first time that I've seen that KO. That's amazing ha ha!

Last night was awesome! I've been to about 30 UK events and atmosphere wise this was one of the best. I had a front row ticket too which obviously made my experience even better. Watched it back on tv a few hours ago and managed to see myself on tv a few times (always a bonus). Highlights for me were CM Punk and Wade Barrett. Being from England there was no way Barrett was going to get booed! He threw his shirt to my little brother which was good of him. After the show ended there was a bit of a free for all between the two Survivor Series teams and Barrett got a microphone and thanked the crowd for supporting him and saying he's proud to be English etc. Very good night! Going back there again tonight for Smackdown! Got 4th row tickets tonight instead of front row but I can't complain as they are still amazing seats. PS. I totally forgot about a silly sign for VT pleasure. I was sitting camera side anyway so even if I did have a sign I would of had to of kept on turning around for it to be seen on tv!

I'm not the biggest fan of Clark but I'd rather see him in there with Vlaar than Lowton. I say pack the midfield and play one up front. Guzan Lowton Vlaar Clark Lichaj Holman Ireland Delph Bannan Gabby Benteke It's been like men vs boys too often in that midfield so far and it needs to stop! Even that 5 man midfield that I've named looks lightweight but that's what happens when we have limited options. Putting an extra man in there might help because I think it's safe to say Sunderland won't be packing their midfield. They'll play with two wingers. If we can show a bit of fight and aggression in midfield we could sneak it. I still think we'll lose though! Looking at the fixtures I dread to think how many points we'll have come January. Get that chequebook ready Randy! $$$

Yeah, I agree. Obama will win the election.

RE: Ronaldo Vs Messi. I saw a stat earlier that I thought was weird... Ronaldo is 869 days older than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo Junior is 869 days older than Thiago Messi. Just thought I'd share because it's pretty weird.

I seriously don't understand how lucky some people get with ultimate team packs! I know someone that got Van Persie and Bale in the same pack and he told me that he's had Van Persie in packs three times now!!! Here is the kicker though and I promise you this is true... Someone on my friendslist got Ronaldo in a pack, he put him up for auction and he sold for 1.7 MILLION coins!!! I called bullshit on that because that just seems too far fetched BUT it was true! He showed me pictures on his phone that he had taken as proof because he knew people like me would question it. I've never seen anything like that on ultimate team before. The most I had seen when browsing was a bid for 285,000. The best I have ever got in a pack is Danny, the Portugal midfielder who is an 83 overall. I just cannot get anyone decent in packs and it annoys the life out of me!

I've been watching a lot of Youtube videos lately and some of the maps look decent. They released another Nuketown 2025 map preview yesterday and the update looks awesome. 11 more days. I can't wait!

Nike footballs can't be beaten. Especially the Premier League ones.

^^^ In recent times, not many have!

A few reporters are saying that Paladini has gone back in with an improved offer of 30 million.

Hasn't he been injured for about 4-6 weeks up until recently? It would explain why he hasn't featured much so far this season. I know he hasn't really lived up to what was expected of him at Utd so far and I seem to remember him being dropped quite a bit towards the end of last season. He was probably England's worst player at Euro 2012 too! I'd definitely have him back here though. I couldn't see it happening and I doubt he'd fancy it either but if it somehow became a possibility then I'd welcome it.

He could start scoring hat tricks every game and people on here would still be moaning! VT... it never ceases to amaze me!

When people criticise him they need to realise a few things. He's 21. Hardly the finished article is he! He's come from a league that is totally different to the Premier League. He's come into a struggling team and been pretty much thrown in at the deep end. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that he'll be a good player for us, then the inevitable will happen!
