  1. Based on the kit we aren't having one likely because we aren't planning to be in the league long. It's likely a lot of work setting up deals with sponsors when if all goes well they wouldn't be a sponsor next season. So maybe we'll seek one out if this season in the Championship isn't a breeze but right now it seems the club are being respectful to the Championship but are also expecting to win the league if not come second.
  2. My main concern is that we will give up on him and he'll then go on to be a good player for someone else. Some players just don't seem to perform when it comes to this great club for whatever reason.
  3. Colourblind? Theirs was literally sky blue all over with a slab of claret in the middle.. Quite a difference. Our new away kit is basically our '97/'98 season away kit.
  4. Well since you put it that way.. We're doing amazingly. New kit. New Manufacturer. Top Of The League!!
  5. I amazed we actually have an advertisement Under Armour be treating us good.. Normally we are just shown a static image of the players wearing the kit, now we have an advert teasing the kit and everything.. We are moving up in the world of football at least in terms of the kit perhaps not league position..
  6. AVFC official Twitter posted a teaser of the away kit and it's Sky Blue with White.
  7. Sky blue with white.. If they have a claret stripe somewhere on that shirt then it's a remake of the away shirt Reebok made like 20 years ago.
  8. Sale season these days never impresses me but it's been several years since I had only 5 games on Steam which was likely the last time a Steam sale excited me. When you have over 600 games on PC and almost 300 of those are on Steam these sales are always sub-par, I am insanely jealous of anyone with only a handful of games right now just filling their boots with great cheap game after cheap game.
  9. Premier League here we come!!!
  10. Currently playing Costume Quest 2.. It's a good bit of old school fun, it's not a great game with huge production value but it harks back to days of old where all games were far more simple.
  11. Two titles may be the least pressing issue going forward based on some of the industry insider talk. There is talk that WWE are set to announce 8 more PPV's on top of the current 12 already in circulation. The thinking behind that is 8 PPV's for Raw, 8 PPV's for Smackdown and 4 shared (Royal Rumble, Summerslam, Survivor Series and Wrestlemania). I'm down for that but I've always tuned in to WWE more for the wrestling than the storylines, but I fear that those that hold interest solely through the drama and storylines may get burned out. What I am curious about is how they would book two PPV's. I would assume there would be a staggered timeline so one brand has a PPV mid-month every 4-5 weeks and one brand takes the usual end of the month slot. I just feel that they may go full overload mode and just have one PPV on the Saturday and the other the following day on Sunday, it would certainly be a very WWE type decision to make.
  12. It has to be this years as they have edited out where the brand logo would be as I guess even in blurry teaser images it would be blatantly obvious that it was a UA logo not a Macron one. Kinda crazy the extremes a club has to go to just to uphold a contractual agreement with a kit partner on the way out.
  13. The brand split gets in the way of that plan, hell it may still get in the way at Battleground unless they leave Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns out of the draft until after Battleground. The brand split introduces two WWE Championships the Raw one and the Smackdown one, if Reigns for instance was drafted to Smackdown aside from personal animosity he would have no reason to be in this triple threat. So Summerslam is definitely too late for the triple threat, I just wonder how they are going to make the one at Battleground make sense in light of the draft happening on July 19th.
  14. If the apology is there at the time of announcement they include it. WWE is a popularity business and they can't afford a man who they have invested in a lot to suddenly become vilified for the wrong reasons. An apology tends to go a long way especially one like Reigns delivered with no excuses offered.
  15. Well Roman Reigns just got suspended for 30-days.. http://www.wwe.com/article/roman-reigns-suspended
  16. He'll likely be back in a more reserved capacity. He'll likely have matches every now and again but he'll probably be the leader in a stable featuring America Alpha when they get called up from NXT.
  17. I quite honestly don't care if they stay or go. If I was in charge I wouldn't keep them, but there is no denying that in the right hands these players could still be assets. I just hope if RDM gives them a chance that he is the right pair of hands. PS. We also have to realise that our backroom staff has changed. I don't think fitness will be an issue, while Guzan with a bit of confidence from a good International campaign with one of the best goalkeeping coaches in the world could be great. Now does that mean Gabby will be our best player next season with Marchesi commanding his fitness? Probably not, but a lot of under performers last season could be changed players with the right support on the training pitch.
  18. We won't truly get the full idea of what Scorpio is and what it's meant to be until it's so close to being out they no longer care about derailing Xbox One S. Currently Shannon Loftis at Microsoft has said Xbox Scorpio will have exclusives. Aaron Greenberg came out to shut that down as obviously that kind of talk is not going to sell Xbox One S consoles over the next 17 months. Personally I am on the side of so many enthusiasts in this industry that can't see how Scorpio won't have exclusives. Scorpio is 5x more powerful than Xbox One S that is a huge disparity if developers don't decide to make their game 4K. If they do then good for Xbox One S as the game on Scorpio will likely have similar visuals to games on that platform because 4K is that damn hard to run. We have already seen what developers can achieve with a 1.2 TeraFLOP system like the Xbox One, I just don't think an exclusive game will be easy to scale back when they have it completely designed around the 6 TeraFLOP box.
  19. It doesn't surprise me really. Yes I am sure Wyness and Samuelson are above board but we know that Samuelson has been accused of things in the past, it's likely just taking a bit longer making sure nothing truly ever came of that.
  20. I just want to know how we are getting them to stay. Are we ignoring their relegation clauses so they get full Premier League money in the Championship? I would love to know what aside from a plan going forward that got Di Matteo to get every player he wanted to keep to say "sure boss, I'll stay".
  21. He needed a hug and a bit confidence. Had he been here under MON he would have been incredible for us, but we've had a string of managers since that are terrible at man management and handling big egos. I liked Ireland though, he was a bit of clearing in the woods at times but nothing compared to the kinds of words removed we're dealing with at the club now.
  22. To be fair most of our English players during the MON era got call ups for whatever reason. Wasn't there a time where there were like 6 players in the England squad that were Villa players? At one point in recent history we were a club in high demand, I am sure Gabby just got the call up not to feel left out lol.
  23. I get what you're saying but even if his funds were let's say unlimited his plans still have a time frame thanks to FFP. Unless we luck out a bit and do a Leicester then to buy the league and Champions League takes time. Man City did enough to buy the league but have barely gotten close to making a dent in the Champions League, we're starting now when clubs have even more money so it's even harder now to do what they did.. I will be happily surprised if we are a Champions League winner within the next 10 years.

    FIFA17

    All issues with The Journey mode aside which I won't be playing more than likely, I will get this game. New engine and "improvements" whatever they really mean by that as all they used at E3 was marketing buzzwords, but I'll buy it regardless.
  25. It's such a shame they are currently stalling on personal terms. We get that Bacuna is in a different league quality wise, but I thought his move away would go a bit smoother for a man that knows the Champions League so well.
