I'll be renewing in L1 (Lower Holte) next season. The whole block stands throughout the games. It's part of why I love that area, as well as the price...

Anyone know the deadline for renewal in the Lower Holte? Want to keep my seat but am waiting to apply for the finance until near the deadline.

Why not just pick up a Wii U and play it on that instead?

Probably pick this up in a few months time for the Wii U. Not sure I can justify getting this right now, whilst putting hours into Overwatch, Horizon Zero Dawn and ME Andromeda over the next few months. This is a good time to be a gamer!

Managed to put a couple of hours into it last night. Stunning game and I have enjoyed the early stages of it. Can see myself sinking many hours into this over the coming weeks...

I like the look of the S8 to be honest. Another leaked image which is apparently the real deal:

Mine arrived this morning. Hopefully get an hour or two on it when I get in...

Just ordered it from CeX using vouchers. Looking forward to this one. Hopefully it will arrive before the weekend... First new game since Overwatch for me, which I am still constantly playing.

More mock-ups and supposed real shots of the S8 are being leaked now. Looks pretty nice to me. Not a fan of the curved screen but I love the minimum bezel. Here are a few pictures:

Hopefully it will all start to click over the next couple of weeks and this thread can be put to rest. If not then we are in trouble... I can't see us going down to be honest.

The drop rate of the current event skins has been bad for me so far...

As stated in another thread, I think it would be premature to even consider sacking Bruce. This is a manager that has taken over a complete shambles of a squad. Now he is rebuilding it at a rapid pace. We need to give the new signings time to gel and back them all the way. The players are certainly there and I think Bruce could well be the right manager for us. I would give him until the end of next season. If we aren't promoted by that point then Bruce should be sacked without a doubt. We need some solidarity right now though and this team needs time to gel and gain confidence. Hopefully it will all click over the coming weeks. My only slight concern is some of the odd decisions Bruce has been making in recent weeks with regards to substitutions. No forwards on the pitch (even though we only had 10 men) is odd to say the least. Anyway, I am still backing him and will continue to do so. Next season it is promotion or bust though. We have spent a fortune and by that point Bruce will have been given plenty of time...

Play-offs look to be completely out of the picture now, although not being impossible. The main thing is that this team starts to gel over the next few weeks and starts to gain momentum. Whatever happens we need to hit the ground running next season. Promotion will be the minimum expectation next season and failure to get promoted then should see Bruce sacked. However, talk of him being sacked now is premature. This is a new squad lacking confidence but we really do need to start picking up results soon. Play-offs or no play-offs, this team needs a boost from some good results...

We basically need to win 12 of our remaining 18 games to stand a chance. If we win all of our remaining home games and win one or two away then we could make the playoffs. However, I am 99% certain it won't happen. This is a rebuild job and the promotion push will be next season. Still possible this season but extremely unlikely...

Excited by the prospect of having options. If we sign a forward then it will improve our overall attacking options too, such as off the bench. Our bench is going to look pretty strong for a change...

Very excited for this transfer deadline day, for a change...

Forgot he had moved to West Ham to be honest. Shows how much attention I pay to the Premier League at the moment. I'm sure his brother has said good things about Swansea then. Whatever the case, the same thing applies. If his heart isn't with us anymore then it is best to get rid of him.

It will be a shame if it is Ayew leaving. However, if his heart isn't in being with us then we might aswell just get rid of him and use it to our advantage. If it is a swap deal plus cash then I am sure the player coming in (Taylor or whoever else) will be the one Bruce wants in. The money we receive along with the player isn't such a big issue as Ayew would be off the wage bill and I am sure he takes a big chunk out of that. I would prefer him to stay but he seems set on joining his brother at Swansea. If that is indeed the case then good luck to him and we will move on...

Have to say that I love TV's with minimal bezels and really like the approach that Xiaomi took with the Mi Mix (top picture). Shame it isn't available over here on a contract and that the only way to get it is to have it imported. The Samsung S8 sounds like it may be taking a similar approach judging by the recent leaked images (bottom picture) so I think I'll be going for that...

Who has said he is going anywhere?! The Tweet by the Dr doesn't say he is going. People are reading way too much into things...

I think we need both. Although Green may have sorted our winger issue and the signing of Birkir could make it less of an issue. We do look very thin upfront. Kodjia and Gabby are our only forwards right now really. Possibly RHM too, depending on what happens with his contract and such. Then there is the McCormack issue. Two main areas that need to be sorted as the central midfield issue looks to be resolved now. Especially if Hourihane comes in...

Looks like Bree and De Laet will be our RB options for the years ahead. Happy with that.

I would be happy with Hourihane, Bree and Birkir. Anything else over the duration of the window would be a massive bonus. It will be interesting to see who the 50% one ends up being...

Gutted with this one. He really could have been a huge success here as he has bags of ability. Shame it is all going to go to waste and that he hasn't shown any of that ability for us...

I went into the window wanting a left winger. However, if we sign Hourihane to go alongside Lansbury then I think we can get by with what we have on the left. Green is showing promise out there and if need be then Grealish can play out there, or possibly Amavi if pushed forward. Basically we could ideally still do with a left winger but increasing the quality through the middle is much more important right now. Excited by the prospect of a cracking central midfield partnership. They both score goals, assist, have experience as a captain and offer more than we have had in the middle for years now. I'm actually excited for a change!
