5th in the table!

Great result. I thought we faded badly in the second half and we were lucky to get a penalty because we didn't really look like creating much. Cracking save from Boruc near the end to deny them an equaliser. Overall I thought our defence looked a lot more solid than last season but we seemed to sit back and invite a lot of pressure from WBA at times - didn't see much evidence of the high-press today. Wanyama and Lovren look to have added some real quality to the side. Only real weak link today was Fonte with more than a fair share of sliced clearances that put us in trouble. Still think we need another striker though.

Penalty!

Don't know if it's just coincidence but we seem to have lost our shape a bit since Gaston replaced Lallana.

Gaston coming on

Got a bit lucky there.

Brilliant tackle from Loveren. If that was Hooiveld it would have been a penalty

He hasn't really been properly tested by their winger down that side yet, but he looks confident on the ball.

Not entirely sure who the linesman thought was offside there. Lambert looked level when the ball went in initially, and Lallana was clearly on.

What on earth was Boruc playing at there?

Already we look better than we did at any stage during our two games against them last season.

What about Carlton Palmer?

I personally thought that was the worst of the 4 TNG films. The plot was rubbish and the terrible attempts at humour made me cringe in places. Despite popular opinion and it's obvious failings, I genuinely thought Nemesis was a better film, though First Contact was probably the best of the four. As for The Final Frontier, what an awful pile of ar$e-gravy that was. I still haven't seen Into Darkness yet, and given everything I have read about it I'm not sure I want to. It was bad enough in the 2009 film that Abrams had torn up 40-odd years of Star Trek tradition and sullied the franchise name with a big, dumb space action movie. All the evidence suggests he has taken that one step further with Into Darkness.

I don't hate Fox at all, but I do have eyes, and what I saw of him last season was enough to convince me that if it becomes necessary for him to have a prolonged run in the first team this season then we can kiss goodbye to any chance of a top half finish because he will cost us a lot of points.

>>>>>>SPOILER ALERT!!! >Indeed. Walt told Hank in the final scene that he was back in chemo as his cancer had returned, and he wouldn't live 6 months. But in the intro scene you mentioned he had a full head of hair, which suggests he is no longer in chemo when we get to that point in the story. This would mean that either he ends up beating the cancer, or he was lying to Hank.

Wow! Without giving too much away, I have been anticipating that scene since the very first episode, and it was every bit as good as I expected it to be.

Is it available on Netflix now?

Also.... Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works vol. 1 Eat Static - Abduction (All their albums were good but this is my favourite) And you can't have a thread like this without honourable mentions to Leftfield's seminal Leftism album, and any choice of a number of Chemical Brothers albums (Surrender is probably my favourite, but the most recent one, Further, is also excellent).

Kelpe - ex-Aquarium. Came across this a few years ago and it's wonderful. Quite down-tempo with an amazing warmth in his synth sounds, and his drum-sequencing is just exquisite. Booka Shade - Movements. More dancey than above with a very minimal feel, but again with a beautiful warmth about it. Highly recommended if you haven't heard it. For me though, the winner of 'most incredible piece of electronica ever' award goes to Orbital's In-Sides. I was quite disappointed with it when I first heard it, because I was expecting more of their trademark out-and-out dance-floor stuff. One reviewer called it 'techno for grown-ups'. It's a beautifully intricate album that works on so many levels.

Building factory complexes was tricky in X3, as it was difficult to pinpoint the exact location you wanted the ST carrier to drop the new station in relation to the existing one, and sometimes it would 'unpack' in contact with the existing one and they would end up destroying each other! But it was well worthwhile, especially if you had the Yacht of Pontifex Maximus add-on mission which enabled you to establish your own HQ where you could build your own ships based on blueprints from captured ships. With a factory complex attached you could manufacture all your own shields and weapons to equip your ships with, so it didn't matter if you were on friendly terms with the races that sold these items or not. Yes, as you may have guessed.. I dedicated a lot of hours to playing this game (I was single at the time so it didn't matter!)

Yeah very similar, but on a much bigger scale. Instead of just owning one ship you can own huge factory complexes and entire fleets of ships.

http://www.deepsilver.com/news/newsdetails/article/release-date-for-x-rebirth/ It's been in development for 7 years after they went back to the drawing board and started from scratch for this one (as opposed to just updating the same old game engine as they did for for X2 and X3). I loved all the previous versions and I have to say the trailer looks amazing. Given what little information Egosoft have released about the size and scope of this new one, then I should apologise to my mrs in advance cos she isn't going to be seeing much of me come November when this gets released.

Wow! I would also like a million pounds please (or have I already used up all my luck for one day???)
