  1. Just had a look and so they have. Nice to know as I'm considering cancelling as it's not often I play online anyway. Not something I have to sort out for a while though as they wrongly banned my console due to a software glitch a last week and I have just had an email saying they are giving me 3months free gold plus 1600 points added to my credit as an apology.
  2. Xbox website just gives you a link to the phone number, or have they changed that now?
  3. I fully expected Jones to win but had a tenner on rampage anyway, 5-1 odds on someone with his one punch ko power was just too good to pass up... and then he got took apart
  4. That's definitely what I took away from today's game. It's a big IF though.
  5. Nzogbia has always been a patchy player. He is due a motd highlight reel blinder where he beats a team single-handed (and that performance will come) but then it will be back to what we have seen so far for 5-6 games while we wait for the next one. On his day he is a great player and will be a major factor in us gaining 3points in games where if it wasn't for him 3points would have seemed unlikely, ON HIS DAY. That's what he is, that's what he has to offer so stop getting all butthurt that he isn't living up to the ridiculous hype that was piled on him when he signed.
  6. 1st Half - :shock: The worst I've seen them play in... erm... half a week. 2nd Half - Much improved as we took the game to them. MOTM: The Referee (potentially a contender for player of the season) It was nice to finally see a bit of pace and invention for most of the second half but excuse me for not getting too excited that we actually managed to make ourselves competitive against QPR.
  7. Who did people thing we were buying when we signed zog!!?? This is how he plays when he isn;t having his motd highlight reel performance every 5-6 games. He's due a blinder but other than that this is what you get.
  8. I think this ref may be be in the running for our player of the season As long as we keep doing what were doing this half we should be alri.... oh shit swp! phew!!! Seriously though much improved
  9. That must be why Mcleish is going mental on the touchline
  10. **** me a chance at goal in open play! I don't know if I can handle the excitement.
  11. After watching the way QPR worked, hustled and took the game to Newcastle I fear for us in this one. Like other people have said though Villa being Villa in these situations we'll hopefully nick something. Regardless I fully expect us to have deserved nothing at the final whistle.
  12. The fans on the villa facebook are the most entertaining part of this game. "I'm surprised Barry, Milner and Young aren't even on the bench?" "Lets get Pongo Waring on!!"" "God were missing Didier Agathe" "What is Houllier playing at? Give Savo a chance.."
  13. If the wall to wall Champions League coverage teaches us anything it's that more call and response chants are needed in the English game. To take just one example; whilst the Napoli fans were booming out chants in Manchester, the City fans sounded like they were taking part in some sort of TOTP2 world record attempt.
  14. Well I gave it a chance and what else can you say... Raw is TNA. I stopped watching for a good 6-7 years, slowly got back into it about a year or two ago. Thought they had something with the punk stuff and they have just shit all over it. So all thats left is a roster full of buried talent and story lines that go nowhere and make no sense. ROH and WRP for me now, I'm done with this shit. If WWE was any other TV show (seeing as they get so upset at being called wrestling) it would have been cancelled a thousand times over. Not even really that worried if WWE raid the ROH talent roster, as at least they know how to make new stars.
  15. That PPV... my god! :shock: They have made Del Rio and Punk both look like total bitches and the ending made no sense at all. If Miz and Truth wanted HHH out of the picture why'd they lay out Punk and break up the pin? That was TNA level bullshit. Mark Henry stuff was really good though especially his promo after he won, that was great. Only took 'em 15 years to figure out how to get him over. I'll probably catch Raw tonight but unless it blows me away and they have got some sort of logical explanation for what happened last night I'm done with WWE. It's not entertaining, it's not worth my time and the amount of false dawns of something decent coming along are infuriating. Ring of Honor TV show starts up this weekend so I'll get my wrestling fix there instead. I would also advise everyone to check out WRP Wrestling Revolution Project, it has the potential to be something incredibly special.
  16. We will sing this song, for the whipping boys in royal blue.
  17. First hour of gameplay 9/10 Next 5 hours 8/10 By the time you hit the sewers 5/10 Final hour before giving up 2/10 I got to the jungle stage and started to question why I was still playing. I was no longer having fun and the tedious slog had become more like an exercise in ocd (very similar to godfather 2 in that respect). Anyway it is now uninstalled and I have had no niggling desire to return to it so there you go. Arkham City and the final Fallout New Vegas DLC are on the horizon so things are looking up.
  18. I enjoyed the pes demo far more than I have in many years and it's a huge improvement, especially the ai, but it's still not quite there. Fifa looks the part but still feels like there is something missing for me. I'll give the career modes a bash when they come out but it looks like another year of being underwhelmed. I'll just stick to being a "goal scoring superstar hero" Swos4Life
