Preacher's back. 

First two episodes are much more entertaining than the first series. Pretty much any scene with Cass or the Saint in is great. 

Edit: double post

I would say Soderlund is easily one of the worst strikers I have seen. He isnt even on the level of Marlon Harewood he was that bad

More like a Jordan Bowery, or a Bokso Balaban?

I think this could be later down the line (after a couple of years coaching). It has happened before at other clubs, Mark Hughes (Blackburn Rovers) and Stuart Pearce (Man City) both finished their careers at this level and achieved promotion to the Premier League, a few years later they went on to manage the club. 

Do you remember what a great player and leader Stuart Pearce was on the pitch? He's a terrible manager though, there is no correlation between the two roles.

They are panto villains made horribly real. Fox hunting anyone? Go home vans? Money tree?

 

I fairness if they stopped hiding the existing of that magic money tree, and gave the public access. Inflation would go absolutely crazy, and no-one would be able to buy anything with grown money, or earned.

Pot heads and hippies? Move over grandad. It's all grime, hip hop and silent discos these days.

I know, I know, in your day a disco always involved a glitter ball, flares and John Travolta. 

You're both off if Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran are headlining I'd say it's either teenage kids or middle class moms.

Which 2 didn't you manage? As for Fortune's abilities, never used any of them, and I'm well on my way to maxing them all.

I'm in a similar situation not going to get

 maxed out, because I didn't get my stats up quick enough to carry on their stories. Also seemed to have completely missed unlocking the fishing. 

Will probably do NG+ though.

Bona-fide Mona-fied. 

I would've picked Delon Armitage for the wind up. 

I've never understood the fire regulations, they can be insanely strict in some instances and completely lacking in others. 

I've known an inspector make someone move a door two centimeters away from the top of a staircase. Yet if it's a listed building that circumvents any fire regulations completely. It's bonkers.

S'pouse this could also go in the golf thread, but I think he might just have gone and done it this time:

Driving his golf cart onto the green at Bedminster 

This surely will not sit well with the Republican vote.

This should be an impeachable event.

In their defence, the Villa hierarchy have only been here one year!

Wyness, Round and Bruce have years of experience in the game. Not sure that's a valid excuse.

60K/week for a 36 y/o in the Championship is steep IMO.

You know Sky are doing a report in 12 months time on the ridiculous amount we paid him per minute played.

If the rumours on Ledley and Elmahamady (sorry if spelling wrong) are true I for 1 would be very happy,  especially for Ledley as he's a cracking player and find it strange Palace are going to or already have released him??? The guy from Hull to me always seemed to play with purpose and SB knows him very well 

So in the last year we've bought Jedinek, Tishbola, Admomah, Landsbury, Hourihane, and Bjarnasson. Now we're being linked with two more midfielders, and I still couldn't hazard a guess how Bruce would set them up in a balanced midfield.

As a minimum Terry brings strong character.

As a maximum Samba brings nothing we can't get anywhere else.

Samba only managed to play 6 games last season.

Looks like Terry could be followed by Alex Bruce and Chris Eagles too ...

Interesting... 

Sorry Vale's Chris Eagles? What are we Shady Acres retirement community?

No chance i dont see terry playing against Chelsea with any pl club.

Didnt terry get a xouple goals as welm last season?

If he goes to a Championship club you can bet your life that club will draw Chelsea in the cup.

It seems that both Harry and Steve think he could do a job in the Championship given we along with Small Heath are joint favourites to sign him. I would back their combined judgement concerning Terry's ability and will to perform at this level at his advanced years.   

If I had to pick two people to judge a players ability to still perform, I don't think one of them would be Harry Redknapp. That clapped out expensive QPR team he assembled being one of many cases to look at. 

I'm fairly sure, both teams are interested because the owners want someone who is seen as a "name" over in China.

Well, there is a video of the guy being arrested. He is surrounded by a crowd, some of whom are clearly angry (rightly) and sound like they are seeking retribution while others appear to be helping the Police hold people back and calm the situation.

That Imam showed an extraordinary calm head and good heart, that puts many of us to shame. I only wish that I could be of such a kind and courageous nature if put in those circumstances.

Slower response time has to do with location too. Near Westminster there are probably armed units waiting to go.

If a terrorist attack happened near me, I'd imagine the nearest armed response team being an hour to an hour and a half away. At best.

Your second point; I don't think any one has said he's in demand but I would think there would be takers at the lower end of the PL (at least, if not mid table), or china or the US... I might be wrong though. Is your reasoning with this; if he's good we couldn't get him, so if we do get him he must be rubbish? 

I have just genuinely never rated him. Coupled with his appalling personality. I've always felt, he's been bigged up on Sky coverage beyond his talent, because he was a great "English hero" story for them. 

On the second point, I just felt people were saying he's great, everyone wants him. I was just pointing out that they don't. But no I think he'll be rubbish where ever he ends up.

What about Hourihane, Landsbury, Bjarnnason, Bree, Taylor, Hogan and that young 19 year old from Barcelona under 19s? Are they all equally as ignorant signings? I personally don't think they are. 

OK I was sweeping the statement because the thought of Terry makes me, I'm not sure if it's angry of just completely despondent. 

I don't buy this, everyone would want him. One, I have never rated him, he was lucky to be the token local at a club if expensive multinational talent, and was long the average player in the strong Chelsea defensive step up.

And secondly, if he was so "in demand" he would absolutely be in the Premier League next year.  

Putting aside an personal feelings anyone might have about signings like John Terry or Glen Whelan. How can anybody look at this current round of speculation and not worry that we still haven't sorted our scouting system and transfer policy. 

John Terry is the sort of signing I'd expect a 12 year old that's only ever watched Sky Sports to make (or Harry Redknapp).

If we sign Terry, am I right in thinking that in the last couple of summers, we'd have signed a current PL champion? 

Nice to see we've still got pulling power if true, even in the Championship. 

Yeah, because that transfer policy has gone incredibly well for us.

We're signing Alex Bruce. Having John Terry there is a just a way for Bruce to say that he tried to sign him but ultimately he wanted more than the £10k/week we offered him.

Just like the good old Doug days.
