For those down south - are AIB still up shit creek?

Yes, they are (or will be) 99% state owned.

Friedel - 5 - not alot he can do when the back four in front of him as so bad.

Warnock - 1- So the "scapegoat" puts in another woeful performance. £8.5m MON wasted on this joker was it?

L.Young - 2 - Looked terrible

Collins - 2 - See above

Dunne - 1 - Awful. Just awful. An accident waiting to happen

Albrighton- 6 - at least he tried which ws more than most

Hogg - 3 - can;t really see what he offers to be honest. I though he was supposed to be a cattermole type player but he doesn't make any tackles.

Clark - 3 - put a shift in and at least tried to tackle.

Downing - 5 - Looked our best player, not that that says much

Ireland - 2 - some nice passes but did he even break a sweat?

Gabby - 4 - Had absolutely no support from anyone. Can't blame him for giving up.

Houllier - 0 - It seems he can't even orgainse the side to defend a set piece. You like liverpool? We know and we don't give a f**k.

P.S. That liverpool side is, on paper, the worst Liverpool side I have ever seen.

Friedel - 4 - Very lucky to have gotten away with throwing the ball over his own line.

Young - 7 - Did well defended well and got forward when possible

Dunne - 2 - Shite.

Collins - 4 - Slightly better than Dunne but still poor

Warnock - 4- Awful. Positionally poor, didn't get round on the cover and offered little attacking threat.

Clarke - 5 - Anoymous

Hogg - 6 - did some hard work. not sure what to make of him

Downing - 7- Did well but his final ball was poor too many times.

Bannan -7- was on the periphery in the first half but got into it in the second. It was a shame he had to come off.

Young - 3 - Another poor display. Poor crossing and he thinks he's alot better than he is.

Gabby - 8 - Took his goal well and did his best. Needs a playing partner up front, he's not a good lone striker for team we have at the moment.

Overall - We had all the possession and played like the home team but we are toothless up front and a shambles at the back. The Jury's still out on Ged.

No real surprises, they are a much better team than us and deserve to be 2 up. The game is effectively over now so hopefully the lads can show something in the second half to give us some hope for the next few games.

Getting into this game now. Its decent but lacks the polish that MW2 had. Finally getting my K/D ration consistently > 1.0 now that I have the Galil. I didn't really take to the Famas. Why is it that you get your best kill streaks when you have the worst kill streaks rewards enabled...

judging by this thread I think there could be alot of disappointed people in January. I would be surprised if we spent more than £5m in January and I expect we might see 1 player leave and 1 come in with maybe a loan deal aswell.

Disappointing but at least we managed to score a goal

yeah i have. its good, in fact its very good. but its much of the same really. short campaign (though i found it to offer a bit more than mw2 even if it has a stupid story). online isnt exactly hugely populated, so it doesnt have the same appeal as it will when it hits shelves.

if you want the best in mp fps play then pick it up, you'll know exactly what youre getting and you'll love it (maybe aside from the attack dogs perk ), but if, like me, you're getting a little sick of the whole online shooter thing with feck all originality or innovation, maybe skip this one

i will say though, i can see the wager games being very popular

I pre-ordered it today against my best judgement. If its ballz I'll blame you . Got it for £27 including delivery cos I had a £9 voucher for Amazon. I'm sure I'll get my 27 quid's worth at least.

Black Ops due out Friday right?

next tuesday

Have you played much of this yet P3te? Should I be pre-ordering it or waiting until after release/reviews are out?

In Black Ops, killstreak rewards dont increase your killstreak...if that makes sense?

It does. I never liked the old way in MW2. Once you got your harrier then you could just hide and get your 3 killstreak rewards in a row without killing anyone with your gun.

I'm really looking forward to playing this game on PC.

Does anyone else play their games on PC?

Was always an Xbox man before but... cant move my thumbs fast enough for COD

If your playing a FPS with a joypad your doing something wrong. Mouse + Keyboard = win.

Maybe 2 miles from work at the most. Takes about 5 mins in the car.

Friedel

Beye Cuellar Collins Warnock

Sidwell Coker

Young Ireland Downing

Heskey.

Will this really be the team? Really worried about this game now...Sidwell and NRC together = bad things...

highlights anywhere boys and girls??

Highlights

That's awesome, nearly makes me want to play it again but then I remember how shit it was and how nothing will have changed.

This. Great cinematic though.

It's a mass produced drink that people would have you believe is the greatest thing on earth.

It is the greatest thing on earth.

In the uk it's cheaper but you're stuck drinking the shame shit all the time.

And in the UK you can't get a decent pint of the Black Nectar aka Portar aka guinness

I can see our midfield being

Young - NRC - Ireland - Petrov - Downing

against Spurs and Chelsea, with Albrighton dropping to bench.

That's the midfield I'd play all the time with Albrighton used as an impact sub. Easy to push Young up front and go 4-4-2 with that formation if required too. Also spurs have no fit defenders and a champions league game midweek so it might be a great chance to get a win against them.

I believe the Nike deal is until 2012.

I know, so let's call it next year plus 3 months

Next year plus 9 months, unless we plan on changing kit maker in January...

Nike.

Being Wolfsburg's first choice doesn't really mean a lot -

...

and left Liverpool as somewhat of a laughable figure.

Another great post from Chindie, not a lot to add apart from the fact the houllier will in all likeihood have the team play in a very boring style.

Given the injuries Bolton have I expect a decent home win.
