  1. Looking forward to the scarves! I read today that MOMS are trying to get a sex pistol type flag for this as well, Surely that would clash with the scarves? Also not a fan personally of the flag design- surprised the club allowed it.

  2. Like a few people- wondering if aways and fa cup are included in the criteria. No way to get through to the ticket office at the minute though- just engaged tone.

  3. I follow Walsall as a second team- grew up near there and went to school in Walsall. I don't see a clash at all- we never play them, and when Im on the train back from villa past the ground you always overhear chat about how Walsall are doing and its pretty much always supportive.

     

    I'll definitely go to the JPT final if I can as I now live nearish to Wembley so its close.

  4. I've spoken to so many people now that are defending him based on that website. Its really frightening that people can take it at face value and not question some of the things it puts forward and the fact its contributed  to the girl having to change identity 5 times because of harassment. Read it by all means- but try and see through the bias. Keep in mind how hard it is to get a rape conviction in this country.

     

    A lot of people talk about the when I win big tweets- what if they were about winning the lottery? Has she tried to sell her story and make money?- not that Im aware. Anyway it doesnt matter as others have said at best hes a sexual predator, at worst hes an unrepentant rapist who after raping a woman has helped conduct a smear campaign against her.

     

    I don't think he should be banned, but I dont think any right thinking club should hire him. 

  5. Great to get the win, but obviously disappointing to be on the back foot for so long. Palace had a lack of quality up front, with Zaha seemingly going backwards each season now.

    If Benteke stays and stays fit, we'll be mid table. I dont see much better football ahead though unless a creative midfielder starts consistantly.

  6. Not the best run for my ps4 at the minute. Was looking forward to driveclub ps plus, as I'm not a big driving fan I wanted to try it before buying it. Had time this weekend for the evolve demo, but thats cancelled and my pc isnt good enough to run it. Then I had the same bug as you guys and had to find out on neogaf it was a problem and what to do. Having gone through various 360s of course my initial thought was it was ****.

     

    Nothing major but I think the xbox team are better at communicating than Sony about these things.

     

    Anyways- biding my time till Dragon Age now, just slowly playing through wolfenstein.

  7. Im pro Lambert and want him to do well, but will admit if we lose on the weekend I'll start to turn. I still blame Randy Lerner far more though- I wish he'd come out and just clarify what his aims for the club are or at least be seen at a game!

     

    Part of me still naively hopes we win a couple and Lambert stays, and we somehow sign 3-4 10 million ish level players and are pushing for Europe again next year- benefitting from a stable long term management team.

     

    You can but dream.

  8. Relying other's results because we can't do the business ourselves is so depressing. We are 8 points ahead of the bottom three (not even worth mentioning the game in hand on Cardiff) with Sunderland having two games in hand. 

    Personally think it will be Norwich, Sunderland and us/West Brom going down. 

     

    Key part of this quote is 8 points. The only way we are going down is if we get 0 points from our remaining games and even then we'd have a chance. Some of you have overlooked the fact that the teams below are there for a reason- they dont win many games. 1 or 2 might find some form sure, but enough that we get to 18th?

     

    If it makes you feel better go on their forums and see what their fans think. Hopefully we can win next week and surely then even the most worried must believe it wont happen.

  9. Ive been avoiding previews, think im going to try without guides for a bit too. Hope I don't pick the wrong route :-)

     

    I completed Dark and Demons with caster heavy builds. Thinking I might try an archer build this time.

  10. Someone on Neogaf said 8 hours plus cut scenes. Review embargo is up tomorrow- few reviewers have hinted that the reviews are going to be positive and if you are a south park fan then the game is a must.

     

    Im getting it- but maybe after dark souls 2. Unless I cave... but I don't have enough time for both :-(

  11. To post we have zero chance in a game is an exaggeration, especially one where the opponents were in such poor form. That played itself out as we lost in extra time.

     

    Still it has been a depressing run of form and no mistake. We are about 4/ 5 players short of a decent mid table team and until we spend we arent going to improve, and I dont think changing the manager will particulary help now. The likes of Sylla just arent premiership level. If we do get drawn into a full on battle and only survive with 1 or 2 games, then I'd change in Summer.

     

    Next week is massive- though I wouldnt put it past us to draw that and go on to win one of the harder ones in front of us. There is also the hope that there are somehow 3 teams worse than us- it wont feel like that to a lot of fans today but read on their forums to see them lamenting certain doom as well. I think 4 points in March, 4 in April and 1 in May will be enough.

     

    There is no way Aston villa is getting higher than 9th for several years though without a change in owner or Lerner waking up- with any manager.

  12. Cant wait- Completed dark souls ages ago. Just finishing off demon souls- it took me a few hours to get in the swing of things but then on the whole its been easier than dark souls. Nothing has come close to falling off ledges in Sens fortress.

     

    Love the characters in Demons though- especially Biorr.

     

    This and south park are holding me back from buying a next gen system.

  13. Good thread. HH has posted what we suspected/knew with a pro Lambert slant. Thats fair enough- Im pro Lambert as well even though it seems some of his signings have not worked out (imo Luna, Tonev especially) and the football at the minute is dire.

     

    When the fixtures came out and I looked at the Xmas games I thought we had a great chance of putting a run together and being comfortably mid table starting 2014. As luck would have it we went in missing two of our best players and in the worst form of the season at the worst possible time and so instead of seeing one bad game a week we have seen 3. Games where the team have developed hoofitis and a total reluctance to want to pass to one another.

     

    Still I am sure he can turn it around especially if benteke finds form, and we strengthen midfield. On that note De Bruyne makes sense to me- exciting, and Chelsea loan him to a team that will get him prem experience and a team that has already shown that they can take points off their title rivals while at the same time being no threat to their own position. Works for both of us if we can find the money.
