St Marco

Would be very happy with 2 wins out of the 3. But minimum must be at least 4 points in my book. Bristol are obviously going to be a very tough game for us but if we can win tomorrow then it wont be as bad. If we can come through those 3 games without losing we will equal our games without losing record. As far as i can tell that record is 8 set in 2006?

Why not? If the players play crap we lose and then are spotted out on the **** would the anti brigade not come in saying he should take a stand? The way i read it he is simply saying the players have not been responsible and that it is obviously something that has happened here for awhile. Which let's be honest has happened here for awhile. If he thinks that they should behave better then they are then i tend to agree. These people are on a lot of money, we have given money to people who performed rarely for this club of which contributed to us being where we were. If they now realise that every training session and every time they are out they are to be proffesional and failure to be so could result in them no longer playing for us then surely that has to be seen as a very positive thing? We no longer have to make do with what we got, if players arn't up to the level expected them they will be shipped out. So i 100% agree with him and making t public makes people realise what is happening.

Is it me or is nearly every thread looking the same these days? You only need to read the first post because you can gurantee the posts after that will be people *****ing about something or another.....

Well Eurogamer have got their review up http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/fifa-10-review Wont ruin it for you but wow they really go for it against Pro Evo Pro Evolution Soccer finds itself in the Liverpool role these days. Demoted to second-best in 2008 after a few years of increasing stagnation, Konami will not enjoy FIFA 10. Conflicting embargoes mean that we can't put the two latest instalments head to head until our PES 2010 review on 15th October, but unless something dramatic has happened since last month, the gap is ever more significant. If last year saw FIFA knocking PES off its perch, this year it's chasing it around the birdcage with a plank of wood and a sledgehammer That is funny as ****

Back on topic Played the demo for a bit, simply outstanding. Best racing game i have ever played bar none. Looks great, sounds great, physics are great, annoyingly the lighting is great (the sun dazzles you when you look at it), handling is great etc etc Expert is a bit too difficult for me so will stick to advanced If you like racing games and have an HD tv you should check it out.

Or do you mean as in the programmes on Prologue like Top Gear etc..?

Not sure if were talking about the same thing but GT HD as in Gran Turismo Concept was cancelled and then re-born as GT5 Prologue, which has been out years. If were talking about the next GT as in GT5 then it has been delayed today until at least march 2010. Unless there is a GT which has somehow missed me by?

GT is Gran Turismo. Both Forza and Gran Turismo are racing simulation games, meant to be realistic etc.. Where as say Need For Speed is an arcade racing game. Forza and GT are huge franchises in europe and japan because for some reason we love racing games. Forza currently is considered the better game due to beating GT games review wise. Forza 2 was/is considered the benchmark for racing games. Here is a view of the ****pit from one of the audi's, shows the amount of detail they put in it

got my invite today, woot

Demo will be released tomorrow Get to drive 5 cars •2007 Porsche #80 Flying Lizard 911 GT3-RSR •2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro •2009 Ferrari California •2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR •2009 Mini John Cooper Works Will be able to update your times to a leaderboard. The final game will be out a month later

Sold supposedly 2.5m copies in 24hrs. So those who have it any good?

Hammond for sure. People *****ed about our team having lack of passion etc just watch this guy, he has been amazing for us.

Exactly Tractor Saint. At work (yes i do some work sometimes) we laugh our arses off reading it sometimes. It could be something so trivial as the water pipe got a leak = we are fooked, best get ready for life in League 2 etc... But what is more humourous is those people trying to justify why they have that outlook

Thought it would be cool if we had a thread in here that people could use to let others know of any great deals they might have seen. Not sure how many of you are PC gamers as we normally talk about the consoles but some excellent deals out there right now. Direct2Drive are having a promotion on where they are putting games at £5. http://www.direct2drive.co.uk/d2dturns5 Can download games such as Bioshock for a fiver. Direct2Drive is just like Steam if you not used it before. This week in US they got Assasin's Creed on theirs for a fiver so hopefully that comes to UK too.

Played the demo on pc and thought it was pretty cool, graphics are great and sounds are ok. Best game i have seen to do the ****pit view. Reminded me a lot of GRID. So might go pick it up or download it from Direct2Drive etc.. Should keep me busy until Forza 3 drops in like a month

thought this one was pretty funny shows the lack of animations and the rail system in full effect but this one is the best The ball going through the goalkeeper..... Of course every game has bugs though. Konami rushed the demo out so it could compete with the one EA released. I'm thinking they probably regret doing that now.

Well i was very impressed with all of them to be honest. Pardew talks a lot of sense and is a breath of fresh air compared to the idiots we have had over the past year. It shows how difficult the job was right from the 1st day as getting ML in was a long process that makes the pinnacle guys look even worse then they already do. Even with the progress we have made more will come in time. I got the impression they want the fans to be realistic and that this season is about getting all the things sorted behind the scenes as well as in front. So good job i felt, better then the rubbish we have had over the years that is for sure.

Talking about Trotman, friendly ripping him saying he has 10 and 2 feet so they are working on his passing etc, great to hear stories like that.

Indeed I think anyone who is on the negative side of things, moaning side of things should listen to it. It might make you realise just where we were a month or so ago.

Think they all coming across very well, some really good questions being asked. Interesting that Nicola say's statistically we are the 15th biggest club in England. Think what Pardew say's about people like Lallana and Davis should be wanting to achieve things not sit on the bench at a club higher up etc.. is totally spot on.

The problem with IGN though Draino is that they take cash for reviews. A lot of devs openly go to them 1st to do reviews as they know majority of the time they will get a high score. Plus IGN is a very Sony orientated website, after all their podcast is called "the three red lights"..... Then what happens when they give a review that the games company don't quite agree with? http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/936/936295p1.html They gave Football Manager 2009 a 2 rating, that is pure laughable, no game is worth a 2 rating. But because Sega complained they changed it. Also they pay money to have their name advertised in games in return for favourable reviews ala Pro Evo Soccer. All in all i would trust my grandma's reviews ahead of IGN. The only people today who really tell it like it is, is Eurogamer. I am looking forward to the sequel of this game but too many other games coming out in such a short space of time that it will have to wait a bit for me Fifa10,Forza 3 and COD6 = i got no money.

The times i have seen Gillet this season he has been pretty awful. Be nice to know what area's Pardew thinks need to be strengthend and if anyone will be coming in on loan.

Sky sports 1 and hd1 at 2am. Sky say 2am but really what they mean is about 4am hehe, i have not seen the undercard so it might be 2am really. That is cool that Mayweather is 4lbs heavier. Means Marquez will be faster which might make Floyd be the guy coming forward. I think it has the makings of a classic to be honest. Someone once said styles make fights and they both got styles. Marquez as i said is hard as nails, if he get's one of his uppercuts in it will be lights out like what happened to Diaz.
