  1. I'm unsure if there is already a topic relating to home technology but thought I would start one anyway. I'm starting it as I'm looking at the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot. They both sound quite interesting, allowing for voice control of music and home equipment (such as lights etc). I realise this kind of technology is big already over in China and Japan. Do any of you use anything like the Amazon Echo? Or are any of you interested in it?
  2. Thinking of picking up the Moto G4 for the other half this Christmas. Has anyone used one? Looking for opinions on it. Holding out on my own new phone until next year as my LG G4 is still nice and smooth. May go for the Galaxy S8 Edge when that comes out but I'll see what LG have to offer in the LG G6 first...
  3. I've been playing since launch on the PS4 and love the game. I'm not the best at it but still find it to be great fun. I'm level 83 at the moment and love the fact that I can just pick it up for 15-30 minutes for a quick game. The longer sessions are better but it's great having the option to play for short periods.
  4. Just the West Ham link with Valencia and their apparent interest in Ayew. Although that interest was probably false in the first place anyway...
  5. Things can change. I hope he stays but if he wants to leave then I would rather just sell up. We are building a squad of players that want to play for us. Hopefully he wants to be one of them.
  6. Could be a swap on with Ayew and Valencia. West Ham were supposedly interested in Ayew at one point.
  7. I have been back on WoW for a couple of weeks now and gave the Demon Hunter a go last night. Seemed quite fun to be honest. I haven't taken part in any invasions yet but they sound interesting. Looking forward to the 'dynamic' zones in Legion too. I'll stick around for a few months and probably drop the game again.
  8. I would be happy with Elphick and Chester as a CB pairing. Hopefully we can push the deal through as Chester would be a decent signing in my opinion.
  9. I think the main thing we can all do at this moment in time is get right behind RDM and the players. It is early days and this is going to be a big rebuild. We have been through years of miserable football, culminating in our relegation last season. Patience is wearing thin amongst us supporters and I can understand that. I just feel miserable after our games lately and it feels like a bit of a chore. However, we will be back. Make no mistake that work is being done behind the scenes and we all need to just get out there and keep supporting the club we love. Everything will look a bit better once we get a few wins under our belt and when the squad starts to gel. I have stated in other posts that it is going to be a bumpy few months ahead but we really need to push the players forward. Let's make Villa Park a fortress again!
  10. Di Matteo said something similar to the Dr before the game in an interview. I think he said that he was still looking at the squad and players would be playing for a place in the team (hence the rotation). I'm not too fussed over being out of the LC anyway as promotion needs to be our priority. My main concern was the complete lack of fight shown in the second half and the fact that we still have some awful players. As others have stated though, it's lucky this has happened now. There is still time to rectify the situation. I'm under no illusions that our issues will go away overnight but I'm sure they are working hard behind the scenes to get the players in that we need. I fully expect a bumpy few months with such heavy changes to the squad and it could take a while for new players to gel. I refuse to write us off for promotion at the moment though. It will be tough but there is a long way to go...
  11. Quick off the mark on Pogba. Didn't even realise new players could be picked up that easily.
  12. Quite happy with mine overall. Some weak areas but quite a balanced side I think... GK - Schmeichel, Adrian DEF - Walker, Kolarov, Clyne, Keane, Lowton MID - Hazard, Mane, Ibe, Redmond, Capoue ST - Rooney, Lllorente, Walcott, Bojan Think I'll take that for my first season taking part.
  13. How long does the draft usually take? Will probably get off around 10pm and set it to pick from my list if we aren't done by then.
  14. Looking forward to this. Knowing me I will mess up my selections in a moment of panic but it should be fun anyway. I will be online around 8:45pm.
  15. Question with regards to the draft. I have just gone through the players creating a queue for the draft. It won't auto pick going down that queue now will it? I just wanted to set up a queue so it was easier for me during the draft and am hoping I can then select from that list, if the players are still available.
  16. Made up with this signing. Shows intent and it is the goalscorer we were in need of. Now to bring in some more...
  17. I'll be made up if this goes through. It would give us some good options with our current forwards. McCormack, Ayew, Gestede and Hepburn-Murphy. Plus Gabby if he can somehow get his career going again. That gives us two forwards that have done the business in this league, one upcoming youngster with potential, one talented forward that could do wonders in this league and Gabby... Colour me excited if this goes through. Other areas of the squad still need to be sorted but this would be a huge step in the right direction. It shows intent too.
  18. Top half. I think we'll be pushing for promotion either via the play-offs or fighting it out at the top. It won't be easy but even the players we currently have should be good enough for a top half finish...
  19. Morrison is exactly the type of player we could use. He knows how to unlock a defence and has plenty of ability. His attitude is questionable but I think it would be worth taking the risk. I don't think we'll sign him though, which is a shame...
  20. Count me in if there is still space. First time playing but it sounds like fun.
  21. Level 15 at the moment and have been for a few days. Stuck as the 4G signal where I live has been atrocious the past few days. Can't be bothered with the constant lag. On a more positive note, I did manage to get Mr Mime a few days ago.
  22. Level 14 now and the 827CP Snorlax is still the best one I have...
  23. Just got an 827 Snorlax. I'm level nine at the moment and he is the most powerful I have come across so far.
