I've managed to make Greater Rift 60 so far this season with the new thorns Crusader, really nice change of design and play style. I should be able to go 70+ if I get the damn ring I need to drop. 2.4 has been an excellent patch, they keep adding bits of content and improving the game step by step. Item set dungeons are pretty cool, with some nice cosmetic rewards if you're prepared to put the hours in. It's a great game, it really is but it still has this lingering issue that it can't quite keep your attention for more than a couple of weeks of a season, unless you're a real hardcore player going to top leaderboards.

I'm hoping he's trying to force their hand. Garde knows the fans are on his side and that the anger directed at them will only increase if he leaves. Maybe this is his way of trying to get the board to back him in the summer?

But why would he want to be fighting constant battles with them? Playing games. It's tiring, particularly when managing a football team is stressful enough. This is the problem, any manager who comes in doesn't just have the challenge of getting results, they have to fight a constant battle with a board who are pulling in the opposite direction. It's something you don't need because ultimately it's impossible to achieve anything under a board that won't cooperate with you.

Have you got to Skellige yet? It's probably the most stunning environment I've ever seen in a game.

It seems Dean Saunders is reading straight out of the Andy Townsend book of stating the bleddin' obvious. Must have been enthralling tactical conversation in our dressing room in the 90s.

Ayew is bae.

There's no way in the world we're capable of pulling off a professional, simple win. We'll definitely concede and then shit ourselves. 2-1 Wycombe. 

Just saw Gabby trending on Twitter, for a brief second there was sheer delight that someone might be buying him. But it's just about someone else

Usually you have to try and strive to keep players from leaving when you're relegated. It's the opposite for us, we have to get rid of as many as possible. This bunch of players cannot play together. They're duds, they have no interest in working for each other, no interest in running that extra bit, no interest in even trying to turn things around. They would get mauled by harder working players in the Championship. It's scary, we have to build an entire new team suited for that league.

We've been down since about October but today has pretty much sealed it. Only having 8 points makes us one of the worst teams in top flight history and I don't really expect many more points. I never really imagined it could be this bad, but it is and we have to take it on the chin and try to properly deal with it. Whether or not this board is capable of making the right decisions, is another issue.

It's so so important that we now start to think about bringing the right players in for next year. Hungry, experienced Championship players that will bring consistency, stability and are up for the scrap. We also might as well start letting go some of the absolute losers that continue to hang around our club; just banish them from Birmingham. i,e Richardson, Hutton, Westwood, Guzan, Clark.... the list goes on.

I'd personally like to stick with Garde, I want him to have a few transfer windows anyway but I guess how long he has boils down to the manner in which he takes us down. Tough times ahead but it's been coming for so long. I just hope the club doesn't now just fade into the abyss. 

Sort of weird to think we'll be playing Walsall next season.

I think that's the main point. It wasn't a classic at all but it felt like a proper Star Wars film and that's all it needed to be.

Wasn't feeling it for Kylo. Wasn't as menacing as he could have been.

 

I bet Sherwood genuinely thinks he can get in here.

Me tomorrow

It'll be The Witcher 3 for me. I just feel it's taken storytelling, particularly side quest storytelling to a level beyond anything I've seen before. For such a large game, It's unbelievable how engaging it is and how it keeps wowing you the further you advance. It's set a precedent for future games of this genre and hope it's expanded even further with their next game, Cyberpunk 2077.

It is puzzling why we're so bad. I think we probably need to accept that we've assembled a squad that just doesn't in any way work together, it's just not a team unit and together with a core of players not good enough for this division, the league is just too difficult for us to remotely compete in. It's pretty grim. 

It's insane some of the settlements people are building. 

Nope. Nothing. There's absolutely nothing in there. Not a thing. 

 

I've been working on the toilet tonight.



 

Bah. I give up, it won't paste  

The more time I'm spending on this game, it's better it's becoming, the random events that are unfolding are just brilliant. There's so many moments that have a put a smile on my face. Thought i'd share a few that have happened in the last few hours.

 

Definitely. If there's a weapon you find that you feel really comfortable using, you can turn it into a beast. There's a perk that makes new technology available, but requires harder to find materials, it's a nice project to work on. You can always take off any weapon mods too if something isn't working for you.
