  1. You'd think that the refs would read these sort of things and be less inclined to fall for the theatrics from players like Young, Bale and Suarez. If I was Chris Foy this Sunday and Young goes down in the box I'd tell him to grow a pair and get the **** up (unless it's a dropkick to the chest kind of challenge), it's stunning that they allow themselves to be tricked by these players over and over again.
  2. I've been to La Romana which is just around the corner from Punta Cana. Stayed here. I'm sure it's not to everyone's tastes but me and the missus had a great time! And the beer wasn't watered down If you're going for 5 days I'd make sure it's from Monday - Friday. The only problem with Dominican Republic is the locals that pile into the hotels at the weekend. We stayed at one of the hotels in the chain featured in this article a few years before it was written and they are a right pain in the arse.
  3. Going to a medievil fayre at Ludlow Castle on Saturday, apparently there's going to be quite a few ales for me to sample
  4. Not even on recent form? Recent form, sure. But form is temporary. Harts been woeful for a couple seasons now. How long exactly does it take for a player to perform badly until it's no longer form? Guzan, on the other hand, has been really good for the past year and a half, really top notch, and it's not like he was poor before that, he just didn't play. I can't understand how people could rate Hart higher at this point. Don't get me wrong I really rate Guzan, he's a quality keeper. But IMO there's a reason that Hart plays for City and Guzan plays for us, to say Hart has been woeful for 2 seasons is pretty harsh. I think because he's made quite a few high profile mistakes recently that his bad form is being blown out of proportion. I just can't help but wonder how much of this is due to our Claret tinted glasses.

  6. It would be interesting to see the opinions of another set of fans to see if Guzan is rated as highly by others as he is by us. There's no doubt he's a good keeper and the best we've had for a while but like joetipton86 said above, there is no way he's better than Joe Hart.
  7. I've seen nothing to suggest he's an aerial threat so far. Agree, he may be tall but he wins **** all in the air.

    Hmm well I rarely ever concede late goals and I am not saying that to just argue you. In fifa 13 it seemed like I conceded a lot of late goals but in fifa 14 it seems like that rarely happens to me. Maybe it's just me then. Could be a psychological thing.

    Really? Unfortunately I bought a new house so although the exchange is setup for infinity we can't get it yet as they don't seem to enable it on new build estates. I'm stuck with about 3mb. My brother works for open reach in the area though and he seems busy lol

    Have you turned Aston Villa simulation mode off? That's a good point I'll check.

    45th minute and 90th minute goals are FAAAAAAR too common in this game. If you're holding on to a one goal lead towards the end of a game you know that 90% of the time you won't keep it. There has to be something in it, it happens too often to be a coincidence.

    Nice one. I haven't been to Apollo Bay but I'd imagine you'll probably spend a fair bit of time down at the beaches there - supposed to be quite good. In terms of touristy stuff to do in Melbourne; I'd recommend hitching a ride on the City Circle Tram, which is a free hop-on hop-off service that does loops of the city. You get a good overview that way. Stuff like Flinder's Street Station, Eureka Skydeck, Melbourne Museum, Scienceworks and Queen Victoria Market are good places to visit. If you can get down to the MCG on a day when the cricket isn't on, I'd recommend a tour and a visit to the Sports Museum. If you're into art, the National Gallery of Victoria is pretty good or a visit to A.C.M.I. You can do wine tasting at some wineries in the Yarra Valley as well if that's something you're interested in. Thanks for the tips mate, much appreciated. Yeah we'll probably spend a lot of time at the beaches, although I'm freaking out about going in the sea after seeing a few stories about sharks lol

    Yeah it looks massive! Have you got any recommendations on things to do in Melbourne, Ghost? We're staying in Apollo Bay on Great Ocean Road but will be travelling to Melbourne a few times I think.

    If it's losing the cops you struggle with then there are a couple of things I recommend. Swerving in and out of traffic so the cops behind crash and lose you (works best if you drive on the wrong side of the road). When the cops lose sight of you they'll drive slower while looking for you, you just need to keep out of their radar cones until they get bored. It's best to hide in a side alley (normally displayed as grey lines on the radar) so you're out of sight. Normally they'll drive straight past you. Or if there aren't any places to hide close by just drive slowly (enough to keep away from the cops that are looking for you) to waste time so they get bored and give up on finding you.

    Looks like my girlfriend's cousin in Australia has bought my tickets for the ashes in Melbourne over Christmas. I think we're going to see the 3rd day of the 4th test. I'm not a massive cricket fan (in fact I think it's really boring) but I'm really excited to go and see it in person.
  16. I'm in the same situation, brand new estate but they wouldn't install cable for whatever reason. I'm with Sky but think that their broadband is actually quite reasonable compared to other providers I've had the misfortune of using before (especially BT). Anyway, I reckon it's worth a shot but wouldn't be surprised if nothing comes of it.

    Sorry mate, just seen this. If you go to the main menu (not the FUT menu), there's an option to customise. If you go to Edit team then Custom Tactics, there are a few sliders for passing, shooting, speed etc. Just change them as it suits and then save it, once you've done that go to the quick tactics option and assign it to one of the D-pad shortcuts. You'll be able to select it in a game then like when you pick Posession, High Pressure or Counter Attack normally.

    Try messing with the custom tactics mate. I did and I seem to be alot more competitive in games now whereas before I was getting spanked regularly. I find that the players with the better teams are generally the people that I'll beat heavily. Also, Kone is awesome in this game with the Hunter Chemistry card.

    Might have to save up for Benteke then, he seems quite popular on UT!

    I have been having a nightmare with Ultimate Team, defending in particular has been shit. But I messed about with Custom tactics last night (which I've never done with any other version of Fifa) and I don't know if it's a fluke but my record is nearly perfect since changing to a more attacking and free form tactic.
  21. I'm 25 and thought I was fairly "down with it". Apparently you have to watch X Factor and listen to shit music to be down with it though. 44% which is average for my age according to that. Seriously, what the hell does "peng" mean??
  22. I'd have said this but for 2 things - the revision of the CX-300s made them worse imo, and they have a brilliant record of breaking. I have these, and they're great. http://www.amazon.co.uk/SoundMAGIC-E10-Earphones-Silver-Black/dp/B005HP3OB0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379179878&sr=8-1&keywords=soundmagic+e10 I'd agree with that on the Sennheisers. Had two pairs in the past 18 months and both have broke. While they last though they're pretty good, quality sound and comfortable.
  23. I think it'll be similar to when we sold Yorke for me. I actually cried. Note: I was only 10 at the time.

    My Tesco order has changed to "Dispatched" today after being "Partially ready to dispatch" all weekend. I probably won't be playing until Friday anyway so it doesn't matter to me if it comes tomorrow or not.

    I'm getting the same issue as last year with the security question not accepting my answer. Loads of people experiencing it again. So I miss out on the free shit cause EA can't fix a small bug in the 12 months they've had to do it... EA really are shit!
