I'm still young and used to care about England. With Hodgson in charge I don't even watch the games any more, boring football, boring tactics, boring squad selection. Boring. When players on form start being picked and the same bunch of extremely average players stop being selected for no clear reason I might feel interested again.

30, tough.

i'd have hated that.

 

the story has finished, just prolonging it so some tv exec can make a quick buck is an awful idea.

 

its like DelBoy & Rodney specials all over again - which were awful.

I meant as a general idea, not specifically for Breaking Bad as I liked the way it ended.

Katzenberg offered to pay $75m for more Breaking Bad

Jeffrey Katzenberg, the CEO of DreamWorks Animation, has revealed he offered to pay $75m (£47m) for three new episodes of Breaking Bad.

He told Mipcom TV festival in Cannes that he wanted to air the hour-long episodes online, in six-minute chunks.

Mr Katzenberg hoped the subscription service would prove the "greatest pay-per-view television event for scripted programming anybody's ever done".

Hit AMC drama Breaking Bad came to a dramatic finale earlier this month.

"There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that millions of people would have downloaded those episodes," said Mr Katzenberg of his attempt to prolong the show's life beyond its five seasons.

Elaborating on the unsuccessful Breaking Bad pitch, Mr Katzenberg toldThe Guardian newspaper: "My idea was literally that you'd pay 50 cents a day for 30 days, so it would be $15, and I actually think there are 10 million people around the world that would have done that.

"That's $150m, so the $75m I was prepared to pay would have delivered a 100% return on investment. And I'm trying to get people to think about this space in a new way by telling that story. It's emblematic of an opportunity coming."

While giving Mipcom's keynote speech, he told TV executives that distributors would continue to pay a premium for high-quality content, whether it lives on traditional television or online.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the DreamWorks chief recently paid $33m (£20.7m) for Brian Robbins' YouTube channel AwesomenessTV, a deal he said is an "enormous opportunity".

Driving viewers

It currently has 909,000 subscribers and 176 million views and it has spawned a successful Nickelodeon series of the same name, utilising the YouTube content.

"It gets us directly in touch with the teen audience in a way that movies and TV can't," said Mr Katzenberg.

He made the point that younger consumers are not only watching more content online, but are far more engaged with content viewed on touch-screen devices than they are with traditional televisions.

Mr Katzenberg said the internet is "a great incubator of talent and concepts" and has the "ability to drive viewers" to television, as it has already been doing with AwesomenessTV.

DreamWorks Animation also has a five-year deal to create 300 hours of original "kid-targeted" content for Netflix.

"Whether the media is old or the media is new, content continues to drive success," said Mr Katzenberg.

He insisted films would remain the "heart and soul" of the DreamWorks Animation brand but it would "look like a very different company" in 15 years time.

I wouldn't have paid but it's a great idea.

Can you still play FUT against AI?

 

I'm not really one for online gaming, just like a chilled out one player mode.

Yes it can be played against AI, either seasons mode or one off games (I think) as well as the TOTW challenge.

Is this thread about Benteke, missing jokes, or bad mathematical skills?

I have £3000 in gold.

 

£500 savings

 

£1200 in my bank account. Although, saying that I just bought some soup and bread. so £1194.43p

I hope it was more than one tin and one loaf, otherwise you've definitely overpaid.

Also, pointy elbows.

Is that a 500 Days of Summer joke?

On the subject of banking, what is the **** point of a savings account? Unless you've got £10,000+ in there the interest isn't going to do much, stick it in your current account and spend it all on drugs and prostitutes!

I may be wrong.

 

Another Swede.

 

We should form a group.

The one on the left looks like David Spade.

I can't see this thread going well.

Swedish, where's my filthy blonde wife?

If Benteke isn't fit I'd play Gabby and Weimann up top, their centre halves are much better than Hull's so I won't hope for much to be won in the air, so leave Kozak out and use all the pace we have.

They've released a patch for PC and the console patch will arrive next week. Among fixes:

 

• Balancing lofted through balls. 

• Balancing attacking headers. 

• Balancing finesse shots. 

• Improved defender switching during crosses. 

• Freezes while making substitutions during gameplay. 

• Freezes while entering and exiting Leaderboards. 

• Improvements made to Dynamic Camera. 

• Corrected crowd sections in Signal Iduna Park. 

• Corrected “Any” and “GK” filters in Pro Clubs. 

• We've responded to the community and upgraded FIFA 14 cover star Stephan El Shaarawy to 4* Skills in Online Seasons, Head to Head, and Career Mode using EA SPORTS Football Club Match Day. Since the FIFA 14 Ultimate Team ratings and database are separate from the Match Day Update, he will be assessed and potentially upgraded in FUT at a later date. 

does that mean Benteke will be improved to about 85 rating be because his current is **** abysmal?

One of the worst game's I've ever watched.

Tonev does well and look who **** it up.

Delph has been great today. No sarcasm.

Well with Bowery on, Kozak is no longer the worst striker on the pitch.

I forgot there wasn't a striker on the pitch who hasn't scored for around 8 months... Oh

If he takes Gabby off I may cry.

Thank **** he's taking off Aluko, dangerous.

I wish this commentator would stop saying "El Mohammedi" ... 

He's talking about Hull's Elmohamady 

Weimann has been wank all season, even when he has scored he was shit the rest of the game.

First half positives:

• Guzan's sexy grey kit
• Gabby
• It's finished
