  1. I think they'll struggle to attract anyone genuinely decent. They still seem like a bit of a basket case off the pitch. I'd imagine they would have had to pay Rooney a fair bit to shift him, unless there was a performance based clause in his contract.
  2. Lower Calrath and Calrath Slums are absolute dickville and I hate them. Similar complaints to what's previously been said on here, possibly about other areas, in that the enemy density is a bit daft and the checkpoints are waaaaaay too far apart (unless you buy loads of vestige seeds).
  3. Hoping that the rain picks up to stop the fireworks going off - purely from a selfish point of view as it's a pain in the arse getting the little'un to sleep with them going off all night (also, the cats are terrified of them). In terms of ambitions for next year: - Hopefully go for my black belt at some point later on in the year. - Be ready to take Japanese Language N5/N4 level test. - Get the little one fully potty trained. - Do more gigs - Villa win the Conference League and qualify for Champions League
  4. Watched Grave of the Fireflies for the first time the other day. **** tore me to pieces.
  5. Feels like we had to "get through" that one. I think you can see the fatigue creeping in, so it's good that they've got a bit of a rest before the Boro game (I'd imagine a few key players may not feature in that either). I think the past few games have shown that we don't yet have a squad that's 100% capable of challenging at the very top just yet, and that's fine. Our starting 11 is fantastic and more than capable, but we've seen where the holes are when we lose players to injury or suspension. Kamara has been a big miss over the Xmas period, which has affected Luiz & McGinn's games. Tielemans was really starting to come into some form too, so it'll be brilliant to get him back. Digne has been a real bright spark for me this season, and I feel we've really lost something defensively with him out. It's been a phenomenal year to be a Villa fan. Best home record in the league for 2023, currently level on points with Liverpool at the top (if only them, Arse & Citeh would lose their games in hand...). The good thing is that we have the Jan window coming up, where we could hopefully at least get another RB so we can keep Konsa in the centre if Cash isn't playing. With a bit of luck, we'll start seeing players returning from injury so we can try and hit some good form in the second half of the season. Our overall results have been excellent so far, way beyond my expectations before the season began. However, our level of performance has been a little patchy, whereby we'll look amazing one week, then a bit rough, then okay, then amazing again. It doesn't feel like we've really hit our peak yet, so hopefully we'll really continue to push on over the next 18 games. UTV!
  6. The only ones that do are the ones that call in to TalkSport and make us all look daft.
  7. We're gonna struggle here. We've given Burnley something to hang onto with 10 men. They'll stick everyone behind the ball and we'll struggle to break them down.
  8. Sunk a few more hours into this and got through a few more bosses. I'm actually really enjoying it. The Umbral lamp is becoming a bit more intuitive now, as I've gotten a much better grasp on when to use it (still don't like hanging around in Umbral for too long though). Been using the Hallowed Praise sword (upgraded a few times) and it seems to really suit my play style.
  9. Got this for Xmas and managed to sink a few hours in it today. Just got past Pieta at last, after god knows how many tries (most difficult first boss I've encountered in a game since who knows when....). Annoyingly, got her down to about 1/4 health and the game crashed, so I've already experienced some of the technical issues that so many have complained about. It's good. I can see where it has some charm and individuality to it. There's still much about the systems/upgrades that I don't quite understand yet, but will keep plugging away.
  10. It's the inevitably of it that really **** me off. 2-0 up against a team that, at the minute, do not score goals. We absolutely deserved that. Obviously the absences haven't helped, but to be in such a dominant position and then literally hand them the win really does leave a sour taste.
  11. Literally everything is going wrong. I can't believe how poor this is.
  12. **** knew it. Lenglet pissing about to give the ball away for the corner and we shit the bed. Disgraceful performance.
  13. There's still every chance that Onana might just blast it into his own net for no reason
  14. Garnacho has had his Weetabix this morning. Need to deal with him better.
  15. Doesn't feel like we're winning this. Need to calm down asap.
  16. **** hell we need to try and get some control here
  17. Can't complain about being 2-0 at HT. Definitely need to tighten it up a bit in the second half, though. We're making it a bit too easy for Utd to get back into the game; giving the ball away too easily, being a bit too ambitious with our passes when we need to just get a foot on the ball and settle it down a bit. When we're attacking we look dangerous, and I wouldn't be surprised to see us get another one or two - just need to be a bit less sloppy.
  18. I actually can't believe just how offside they've been. A good 3 or 4 yards each time.
