  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Well Roman Reigns just got suspended for 30-days.. http://www.wwe.com/article/roman-reigns-suspended
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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".
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Hmmm Scorpio better be on the affordable side of life then like £400-ish cause if not PC gaming is getting far more affordable. The AMD RX 480 is like £200 and it's forte is 1080p60. Want a bit more grunt? The RX 490 is rumoured to be about £280 and that is likely the GPU in the Scorpio. Microsoft need to realise that their console business is important, that just because every exclusive at E3 this year was on PC does not mean that you make your new console for a niche market. If I was in marketing there I would be speaking the same as when Xbox 360 came out in the time where HDTV's were still uncommon. I would be saying things like "Xbox Scorpio is designed to take advantage of the latest in UHD technology, but it will still work and offer great advances in visuals, frame rate and gameplay even if you still own a 1080p display." That was the message Xbox 360 used albeit taking advantage of 720p and that it still worked on your 480p/i displays. Spencer coming out and being so adamant that Scorpio is basically just the same Xbox One just with enough grunt to play these same games at 4K is not impressive really.
  16. Welcome Tony.. I hope you bring much success and prosperity to this great club.
  17. @Chindie Except Resident Evil 7, but I suppose that isn't a PS4 exclusive anyway. That is a full Resident Evil game when it launches January 24th 2017 and can be played from start to finish in VR. It's the only full VR game they showed though.
  18. Let me just add.. He also has one of the best assistant managers in the world as stated by Jose Mourinho himself during his time at Chelsea and two world elite coaches in Battara and Marchesi.. It couldn't be more perfect for RDM. His hardest job is clearing out the shit and signing less shit if not approaching good players to replace them. We don't have that many excuses if we don't at least finish Top 4 at least.
  19. I wasn't really around for those days but his access to us was a bit different wasn't it? Our access with Xia is through his Weibo which I assume like Twitter he can block anyone that is a word removed. Xia through that format has complete control over who he responds to and who he doesn't. If he wants no contact he can likely make his account private.. I think the Xia situation is a tad different but I do get what you mean, sometimes contact with the fans especially when things aren't going well isn't always for the best.
  20. I am sure one of them is mine.. I'm always chatting all sorts of shit.
  21. No Neo. Though Sony still had what I consider to be the best conference through sheer games alone and they made PSVR look like a must have item for every PS4 gamer, but no talk of the new console unfortunately. I am hearing rumblings that Sony confirmed Neo in a press statement as to not show it at E3 so they can go back to the drawing board, as with Microsoft having confirmed that Xbox Scorpio is real and that it is vastly more powerful than the rumoured Neo specs it seems Sony are panicking a bit with that.
  22. We'll find out in about 5 years when he finishes it. He's yet to find a graphics engine to use for the game so he hasn't even started it yet, this trailer is all that exists of the whole game.. It's gonna be a while.
  23. 4K can be done. Just not at the highest settings like the post I quoted was hoping for. 4K60 could probably be done at low/medium settings but it depends just what low/medium equates to visually. 4K is a goal, a dream for some but it's a very very demanding gaming resolution. It wouldn't be the first time Microsoft have overstated the resolution and frame rate their console is meant to hit. I hope they can hit 4K and do with ease, but it's hard to do.
  24. It's so good to have an owner that actually communicates with the fans when they ask him questions. I am sure that will stop eventually but for now it is super refreshing. It almost feels like we have a direct line to the boss which is pretty cool lol.
  25. Didn't show GT.. GT is nothing these days. It was great back when it was one of the only racing sims on earth, but now every platform has like 3 or 4 of them it's not special anymore.
