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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bright side this will likely speed up any transfers we were after.

Fallen apart..

Who caused that? They scored because of a shite pass out of defence.. I missed who passed it though.

Unlikely, Tshibola just needs game time considering he will likely be in our starting XI next week. Tshibola though was injured last season so needs to be eased into playing full time again.

I'd say pretty close. All their supporters were having orgasms over their team selection earlier today.

My thoughts entirely. This is arguably one of the best the Championship has to offer and they have strengthened a bit since promotion too, so considering maybe only 6-8 teams will be promotion candidates that leaves like 60-70% of the league being vastly worse than this.

Gestede is far far faaaaar too slow.. That or he just lacks the motivation to sprint into the box when he see's Cissokho sprinting with the ball.

Great move there.. I just hope Ayew is alright.

1-0, Baker (14 mins)

Plus side we don't look that bad against the team that got promoted from this league. I mean I assume 80% of the teams are vastly worse than this.. We just need to cut out silly mistakes.

The stadium volume is alright. The commentary though is super quiet though.. It's what you get when you fire everyone and get people that don't know what they are doing to set up a stream.

Good showing here and I will be a lot more confident. There aren't going to be many teams in this league better than our competition today.

I get that everyone is down on Bacuna but maybe he's been impressing in training. Just trust that RDM knows a shit ton more than we do about this current crop of players.

I'm just going to assume Tshibola is still getting up to 100% fitness after his injury plagued season last term and that the starting eleven are our best in training currently.

@Chewie I hope all of that in your post above about the Tegra X2 is true. I will be using the NX in home console mode 100% of the time so the more power the better really.

Maybe trimming the squad is just the reason we are floating about cause it sounds better than culling the bad players.

Maybe him keeping a low profile is for the best. I mean every manager recently has a been a bit of a chatter box in comparison and it's almost made things worse. We need managers that only talk when the media speaks to them and also is selective with words. Recently every manager we have had has just talked too much about how the team will be vastly better next time out, yet when it doesn't happen the fans turn sour. We have our chatter box in the lovable and adorable man from China Tony Xia, we don't need RDM to say anything this season.
