Not really that convinced by Jedinak - but he's an experienced midfielder so could help the likes of Tshibola, Gardner et al. Even Westwood to an extent. 

He's not a great player by any stretch, though. 

It's not always about getting in the highest possible technical quality. For so long we've been such a soft touch, mentally weak. No spine, just nothingness, particularly in the centre of the park. Jedinak offers experience, steel and an invaluable desire, character and voice in the dressing room. Along with Elphick, they are the exact sort of players we need at the moment. With a tougher, hard working spine it allows players like Grealish to be able to play their natural game.

Not his biggest fan, but agree with what he's saying.

I'd be surprised if we finish higher than 12th with our current squad. We simply won't score enough goals. 

Teams at the top tend to score between 70-100 goals. As it stands we wouldn't even score 40. 

Couldn't care less.

Are we allowed to start up a relegation thread yet?

There's a Nantes player with the tiniest shorts I've ever seen.

Coleman has put together a team, a collection of players that will all put themselves on the line for each other, and know their game plan.

Something that Hodgson, McLaren, Capello, Eriksson etc have failed to do with far better resources.

I'd say he deserves a bit of credit. Well, a lot of credit.

Absolutely, he deserves massive credit. I said that Wales as a team were tremendous. I just don't know, there's just something, I'm still not convinced about him. Time will tell though, he doing everything right at the moment. 

I will never accept that Chris Coleman is a good manager, even if they win it. It's ridiculous. That said, Wales as a team were tremendous. I know Ramsey has been a very good player for a long time now but he's really, really at the top of his game, he is absolutely incredible, really feel for him missing the semi final. They can win this tournament, no doubt about it. 

R.I.P Southampton

I like the idea of Elder Scrolls VI: Black Marsh. Some Argonian love. 

That one slipped under my radar I'm afraid. Can't believe it. 

I still think the best horse mechanics to date are in Shadow of the Colossus.

Has anyone picked up the physical Gwent decks with the special editions? I'd really like to own them but missed the boat. Would have to shell out a fair bit on eBay for them now. 

Steve Clarke is quite the coup. Think this is an excellent coaching set-up considering where we are. Great stuff.

what has changed? i didn't notice any difference

I can only speak for the PC version but the interface has had a complete overhaul. Everything is now categorized better. Stuff like weapons, armour, bombs, potions etc have their own sections instead of being lumbered together. New character screen, you can see defence and offence stats better, can see what armour looks like without equipping it. Books, journals and quest letters now have their own glossary section. 

Biggest change is probably the world map, you can zoom out further, filter quests, exploration, areas of interest, shops etc. Different types of map markers, you can use up to three, I think. All round it's just much slicker and has actually helped massively in organising things to do.

New interface is so much better. How do you even make the best game ever, better?  

It's natural to be concerned when a new owner controls something that is so dear to you but under Lerner we had a man with zero business sense, no interest and we were fading into oblivion. I dread to think where we would have ended up had he not been able to find a buyer. Even if the guy ran the club slightly competently it would be a huge improvement and his businesses and history suggest that he's intelligent enough to do that. My guess would be that we'll be run well, nothing spectacular but I think that's all we need. I'm just looking forward to a new era that isn't governed by Lerner. Let's see what the future brings. Feeling positive at the moment.

Who are those other names?

Jlloyd Samuel is our new number 9. 

Phase 2 is probably the most difficult fight of the whole Souls series. Locking on is a no no, otherwise you'll just get disorientated. You'll have to manage your stamina perfectly. It's by no means impossible though, just requires a lot of patience and practice. I've yet to solo it. I should be able to get him in ng+ with my silly overpowered weapons.

I've always just put on his vids from time to time and enjoyed watching his content, seemed like a decent guy but I agree he is just becoming more unbearable as this series progresses. I actually feel a little embarrassed for him. One of his most annoying traits is that he'll make something up in his mind, i.e. he'll think he's nearly finished the game and then be absolutely convinced of it, say negative things about how short the game is, whilst having absolutely no idea at all if he is near the end of the game. It's bizarrely stubborn.
