  1. Don't dashboard then. To be safe, when you're done playing back out of multiplayer entirely. It seems to reset back to your last time playing. What do you mean by dashboard? Do you mean going to the dashboard and turning it off from there before quitting multiplayer entirely?By dashboarding I meant when you're having a bad game, if you go to dashboard without quitting it doesn't record your kills, deaths, losses etc. A lot of people do it if the match making has put you on a ridiculous team, I won't deny that I don't. The problem seems to be turning off your xbox/going onto the dashboard/an internet disconnection may reset everything back to your last play session. When you've finished playing, quit out of the multi player party right back to the main menu. It shouldn't happen then. Not happened to me as of yet thankfully. I'm sure it will though. Started to find my way in this now, or maybe I was just getting lucky in lobbies for the night, but I had some pretty awesome games with the Striker/PP90. And playing Domination too. Just gotta avoid the spawns entirely, I'm starting to know when to get away from everything, which was difficult before with the spawns. Oh, I never do that. However, sometimes I won't quit back out into the main menu before switching the console off, so I'll try that.
  2. Incredible. Then again, we've only lost three league games since that Wolves game in March.

  4. For the second time now my rank got reset. Lost 3 levels (back to 59). Why does this happen? It's at random as well. Really **** annoying.
  5. So when was the last time they were beaten in the league?
  6. Good news. Midtable is where everyone wants to be anyway. maybe he should give us a free scarf again this winter, that should please everyone. So because Randy isn't as rich as other owners, he "wants" us to be midtable? Ridiculous logic as usual. Just goes to prove that it's all about money with some people.
  7. You seem lost again. Some are annoyed that Lerner let the financial situation spiral out of control. The fact he finally dealt with it isn't something to be praised. He was left with no choice but to deal with it because of his poor leadership of the club he owns which resulted in the loss of a good manager and dropping back to a nothing mid table premier league because our great owner hired a past it word removed and then could only attract MacLeish to then replace that failure. I never said he should be praised, I'm just saying it's a bit ridiculous criticising him when he finally does do what you think he should've done.
  8. He's had just as much of a chance as Bannan.
  9. Agreed. Although was young when he was in his prime. Maybe I don't like left backs. You wouldn't be saying that if he played for Barcelona instead of Real. I preferred Real Madrid back then, they had Ronaldo. He was my favourite player. I'm sure in the future, it will probably change again. I only support AVFC. Fair enough. I honestly thought Barcelona were your second team though the way you go on about them.
  10. Why? What has he shown this season? I like Delph but he's the one that's been poor this season, not Bannan. i just think he has more to his game and offers us more options, plus he's more athletic Well he's yet to show that this season.
  11. Lol, religion's a choice. Non-practicing Christian here.
  12. From what I saw, MON didn't get much abuse shortly after he quit. Coincidently though, my point's entirely been lost. There were many people on here criticising Randy for O'Neill's departure, despite the fact that the whole incident was likely over Randy trying to reign in spending, which many on here have criticised him for not doing sooner.

  14. I'd like to echo the Beckham sentiments. Phenomenal player. Will go down as an England legend and rightly so. Easily one of my favourite players of all time.

  16. You only call it a retards game because you're not very good at it
  17. Immediately after he left there was hardly any. A month or so later is when the abuse started coming (and rightly so).
  18. So am I correct in thinking that this game isn't really your cup of tea?
  19. Must say I don't recall that bit - the overriding sentiment on here was anti-MON, almost regarding him as a traitor, with Randy cast as the innocent victim who had his money spunked away by a reckless manager. And a brave few seem to be sticking to that view even though it has become increasingly apparent that Lerner/Faulkner's judgement has been suspect throughout their stewardship of Villa. And in denial of the obvious point that any properly functioning organisation needs to monitor and approve its spending separate from the managers who actually do the spending. If Lerner wasn't doing that, it truly was a rubbish operation. Strange, I don't recall much anti-MON resentment on here when he threw his toys out of the pram. Then I would say you are suffering from memory lapse. Nah, don't think so. Well you are wrong, very wrong in fact. Those defending O'Neill after he walked 5 days ahead of the season were few and far between. Well I'm not. There may not have been many people defending him but there weren't many criticising him (at the time) either.

Then I would say you are suffering from memory lapse. Nah, don't think so. And now you are guessing as well. None of us know the reason for him reason, we don't know if the compensation was unpaid bonus's etc or compestation due to constructive dismisal. Claiming that any compensation is proof that MON was some how in the right is complete speculation and therefore utter bollocks. Indeed.
  21. Sorry, how do you know what conditions MON would work in? The only way MoN would stay is if he could screw the club up? And you truly believe an independent tribunal who heard all the facts awarded a large compensation package to Mon because he refused to sort out the finances and just quit? Really? No, MON wouldn't have anyone above him interfering.
  22. I was albeit I didn't say he was crap just didn't get all the adjulation he was getting. To bring some perspective this is the guy who struggled to get a regular start for Leeds last season So what if he struggled to get first team football with Leeds last season. That was last season. Up until this season he's been getting regular football with us and doing very well.
  23. Ridiculous. Mon wasted some money like every manager but the issue we had wasn't just about money spent. Our problem was the money spent in relation to money coming in and I don't know how anyone can argue that MON should be on top of that more than the owner. After training should MON have popped over to the ticket office and sorted out pricing, corporate seats and advertising for match day deals? Should he then have gone over to the merchandising department and sorted out our national and international sales. Then I guess he'll ring up the sponsors and negotiate a new deal and then contact sky about how much we're getting. Then after sorting that out he should have sat down and forecast future incomings to the club. There is one man who should know more than anyone else the incoming and outgoing of money at this club and that man is the owner. If its not then it's another reason to show randy as a poor owner making poor decisions. I actually never said that. Of course Randy shouldn't have given MON such a free reign, but MON wouldn't work under any conditions except his own. When Randy finally tried to sort the problem out, MON quit, which you also blamed Randy for. So in other words, Randy's to blame for letting the finances spiral out of control, but when he tries to address that problem and the manager quits, he's also to blame for that too?
