  1. Makes sense in light of that exploit. I am sure they are getting hate for this as gamers see no pre-release review code as bad news, but I would rather accurate reviews than incorrect assessments based on pre-patched code.
  2. I think we are just trying our luck.. I prefer this to "oh that team has bid, okay then on to plan b" which was Aston Villa for as long as I can remember. Yeah it was maybe a bit too late to bid when the guy is having his medical, but at least it shows aren't going to give up on players just because someone bid on them first.
  3. I think it is a dig at one of the two players that have just left. One of them seems to have pledged allegiance to Villa and still wound up leaving.. Xia appears to take that very very personally.
  4. I wonder if Xia is as passive aggressive in person as he is on Twitter. Either Gana or Clark have really pissed him off but he just won't out and out say it lol.
  5. I suppose McCormack and Ayew could be interchangeable. Ayew just needs players around him that can create things so if McCormack can fill that role and score loads then I don't mind.
  6. Same.. Based on pre-season I would have thought the nailed on spot behind the striker is Ayew as he's been there for several games now. Currently we would be looking upfront like this with McCormack surely.. Traore* - Ayew - Grealish -------- McCormack ------- Traore can be swapped with Sinclair or Bacuna.. Ideally a new signing, but that should be how we line up based on pre-season.
  7. Pretty good second or third choice options. I mean whoever our first choices were must have been insanely ambitious if a proven goal scorer is what we had to make do with.
  8. I don't think you need to be all that fit to replace Gestede. Any additional movement from McCormack will be a revelation for this football club after last season..
  9. You worry a lot don't you? How about just be glad that we likely won't be lining up with Gestede leading our front line..
  10. Letlive. kinda let themselves down with this album (If I'm The Devil...) it's still good but not a patch on the quality of their previous material.
  11. He did it with an exploit that will likely have been fixed on day one. He exploited an item that is easy to find which had an absurdly high sale price so he could upgrade his warp drive faster than regular players would be able to. The game is still massive and the average player playing the game to explore will reach the center after several hundred hours. So just because one guy with the offline version of the game got to the center using an exploit doesn't mean much.
  12. Yes and no. There are usually some like maybe some ISIS plot uncovered to derail an event, but even removing acts of terror from the menu there have already been half a dozen maybe more things that have already gone wrong. This event is a bit different as it all appears to be a bit of a shit show.
  13. It's sad that it feels like it's inevitable that something horribly wrong will happen. I mean with the world as it is currently it just seems like the worst possible time to have an Olympics like this. I mean the bomb scare yesterday at the stadium hosting the opening ceremony, I get that these things can happen any place any time but it just feels like Rio won't have adequate security. Yet even if something large scale doesn't happen the Olympics haven't even started yet and we already have tales of kidnap, theft, fires, security breaches and construction failures.. This is meant to be the calm before the storm and yet it feels like the storm has already started. I wish everyone attending from athletes to sports fans the best of health as it just seems inadvisable to attend this Olympics.
  14. A lot of the issues were raised in this article here by Huffington Post. Everything is going wrong.. The issue is that Brazil just can't really afford it. They are facing their greatest recession in 100 years and yet they were bound by agreements to keep on spending money to build all the facilities. While they hosted the World Cup no issue that was largely a much smaller event where they could have used pre-existing football stadiums for the most part. The Olympics though many of the buildings these sports have to take place in need to be specially constructed, as unless Brazil had a Velodrome lying around or an Olympic sized swimming facility ready made these have to be constructed as part of the Olympic Village. From what I have been reading and Huffington Post don't quite touch on it is that Brazil/Rio just ran out of money or at least ran out of budget. Many of the stadiums and buildings are unfinished. The living quarters are unfinished. They barely did anything to help decontaminate the waters used for several events. This whole thing is a nightmare.. Teams have already refused to live in the Olympic Village because they feel unsafe and yet in the hotel they chose to stay in instead they still wind up getting robbed. Rio did a decent job with the World Cup but it's a larger smaller event that attracts less people.. Rio appears to be vastly ill-equipped to host the Olympics and their country is in turmoil currently, it's not a place anyone wants to be visiting right now.
  15. Well done Rio.. Australia met with fire and theft in Rio.. This is going to be an interesting Olympics and for once it won't be due to the sport..
  16. PokeVision ceased operations voluntarily. All Niantic have said is they didn't like the site and thought it was cheating. The owner of PokeVision has stated on Twitter that he respected their views and that is why the service is down right now.
  17. If I was an athlete regardless of if my discipline was water based or not I would be backing out right about now. I understand that for hundreds if not thousands of athletes that these Olympics have been 4 years of hard work and training, but your health comes first. This Olympics is an absolute disaster and I wouldn't be surprised if the fallout from this event is seen for years to come, be it athletes finding out they have Zika, athletes getting kidnapped, robbed, murdered.. Hell it seems that the water that some of the events will be held it could be contaminated enough to kill as well. If it was me I would be backing out to enjoy my Summer in relative safety.
  18. Vampiro would have been good in WWF. I think he had enough about him that they may have tried to get him into a feud with The Undertaker, maybe even at Wrestlemania considering they both have undead/mystical gimmicks. It's just a shame he was injured as he was a pretty unique character. I will never get why Sting was loyal to WCW. While I love that he eventually signed with WWE it always seemed a bit forced like one last big pay day. I mean his actions up until signing seemed of a man that resented WWE for taking WCW away from him. He could have signed and made the Invasion angle just a bit better but instead he went to TNA which even when TNA was good was a stupid move. I guess I commend him for his loyalty but I feel it was misplaced.
  19. What I recall the most about Vampiro setting Sting on fire was my dads reaction of disgust.. He is the definitive mark as back then even as a teenager I knew that shit was fake, yes the fire was real but the fall was heavily choreographed and the stage was a false floor with crash mats. Yet despite me explaining that and the fact Sting was on fire for like 2 seconds max he was having none of it lol. I think that event made me a wrestling fan for life as I was in my rebellious teenage phase and anything that my dad didn't like I loved.. So without WCW I don't think I would be watching wrestling now.
  20. It may be that was something they wanted but just like how you can't upload custom avatars on console because porn, they likely realised pretty fast that planets will devolve into inappropriate names. Maybe it is an upgrade, or maybe it gives you a random name that you can then edit later. I hope it's still in as while there is like 0.00001% chance of meeting another player in this game, just knowing a planet I named can be found by others is cool to me.
  21. This man is largely the reason we fell apart. His pass gifted them a goal, which in turn gave them the confidence to go and get a few more. What it also did was shook the team and took lots of the confidence out of the team, you could see it in their eyes the likes of Hutton, Baker, Westwood they gave a look of "not again" and the second goal killed us.. So thanks Cissokho, took a nice little run about and soured it.
  22. It's hard for him to play super attacking when Gestede is an elephant that has no positional awareness and Ayew (not his fault) has to keep coming deep into midfield to get the ball because most of our players aren't attack minded. Grealish could run the flanks all day and cross the ball in all day with ease, but when there is no one there to receive it he has to go down different avenues that cause us playing sideways.
  23. Bright side this will likely speed up any transfers we were after.
  24. Who caused that? They scored because of a shite pass out of defence.. I missed who passed it though.
