St Marco

He really isn't. It is all props. The arm for example is a fake arm with a harness to tie around yourself which keeps you in position. I know someone on a TV show that had him come in for an interview. He demanded that the camera's could only be on him (while doing tricks) from certain angles. It is basically the same system being used as the WWE (wrestling). Certain moves which are scripted can only be shown from a certain angle which makes it appear more real. But to the people in attendance who do not see it through a lens they can see the move is fake and does not touch the person. It is an illusion. The difference is the people around Dynamo are in on the trick, they are actors. If you want to see just how bad it is go to 3.40 on here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SejPdHY9yVM This is the tattoo trick. He simply wipes off foundation/paint which is used to hide the tattoo to make it look like he is changing it. The girl is then like "wow that's amazing". When she was in on it all along. Now I don't mean to ruin the show for you as it is all meant to be harmless fun, it is meant to entertain you just like any other scripted show. But as mentioned above it isn't magic. It is staged illusion. The illusion is what makes it fun, you want to believe it really happened and that he somehow has some kind of gift. When in reality he doesn't. There are a billion videos showing how he does the tricks but I suggest you don't watch them as it will ruin the show for you.

Really hope we walk away from this guy now as can see his agents causing problems in the future which could disrupt us. He is a decent player but I think for that money we could get someone better.

To be fair every fifa this gen has been different. Simple changes change the game to the point you can't go back to the other one. If you get a chance go back and play Fifa 10 when the new engine came in and the game is sooooo different. Prior to this gen I would agree with you 100% about fifa but this time around I don't. It deserves the high scores and sales it get's. This will be the last version for this gen so not sure if it is worth just waiting for the new ps4/x1 version. Having already seen that running I can't wait. Just so happy they have got rid of the ****ty crowds and done them properly.

Indeed that is a crazy amount of money. But it seems that the problem is the agent wanting too much money. At least £1m. I don't think an agent should be getting anywhere near that amount. Sooner Agent fees are capped the better. When I sold my house the house agent got 2.5%. So for the £350k we got they received around 7k. Which was fair. But these agents just make it up as they go. If the fee is £10m and he wants at least £1m that's 10%. That's a joke. He shouldn't be able to demand anywhere near that.

If everyone before hand is in on the trick, they know it is a fake arm or whatever and it is all staged is that really magic? Personally I don't think it is.

Totally agree with with Turkish. However if we are paying say £12m, then say £45k a week and then say the agent wants £2m+ then I think that is way too much. It highlights a problem in the modern game and one that needs to be sorted out. If the player can agree terms, the clubs can agree terms but it breaks down because of what the agent wants then something is obviously wrong with the game.

@AlexCrook.Just heard Mourinho is favourite to replace Sir Alex @Manutd

I'm going along with this. These guys just make it up to try and get hits to their sites. I think this deal is probably done and will be announced when the new shirt is released. The media will keep on talking ******** as they have to in this 24hr news world.

The guy is a complete gimp but that was pretty brutal. What a way to find out you have been fired, by some production guy printing off a statement....

It would depend on how you define bigger? If that means higher attendances, higher revenue, higher league positions, more cup wins, higher quality players, more internationals etc etc then Southampton are bigger. But if you define bigger as having more people in the city then by that logic Beijing and Dehli must be the biggest clubs in the world?

Cardiff =big city. Big city does not = big club. I'm sorry but to say a club is big when they last played in the top league in 1961 is laughable.

Or he could be saying he is on holiday and has yet to speak to us about his terms as he is on holiday?

Well 1 out of 2 ain't bad!

You see I 100% agree with you. Places like Greenmangaming and the steam sales are what make Steam so amazing. In theory MS tried to copy them. There is an element of control but also of trying to bring costs down. Right now as you mention we have games that cost £50 on release day, then a week later slightly less, then a few months later under £20. When it get's beyond those first few months the price drops even further. Take Far Cry 3. Came out what 4-5 months ago? Is one of the best games out there. On 360/ps3 you can now get it for £14 and on pc for well under £10. When they get to that price the whole second hand thing no longer matters as they are worthless almost. To again use Far Cry 3, you will get about £5 for it. So point is in theory the price of games will follow the steam/digital price format. Having them be physical just keeps the price high to begin with. Eventually everything will be done via digital distribution. MS made a huge mistake with the this thing but most companies now follow that format. Apple/Google/Steam etc

Out of interest I am guessing you guy's really hate Valve and Steam right and will not be buying their steambox due to the DRM?

holy U-turn batman http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-06-19-microsoft-will-reverse-position-on-xbox-one-drm-today-report Now with no drm or any of that **** we can talk about what is important, the games. And based on E3 MS had the better ones imo. This beast alone wins... 5sqPxbLmIU&has_verified=1

Haha indeed! I just don't think it is as good as the last two Uncharted games. There just doesn't seem much variety in the game in terms of gameplay, bad guys and locations. Won't stop me getting the trophies though....

Almost completed it and have to say its one of the most over hyped games I have played. It is a decent game but Jesus it is so repetitive and linear. Walk through this falling down house, through this corridor, hide behind crate, over turned desk, cabinet, door. Grab bad guy, kill bad guy. Rinse and repeat. The story is as clichéd as clichéd gets! Uncharted is one of my favourite series but this game is just plain boring. I am constantly waiting for something amazing to happen and it hasn't.

Want Pompey to win so we can thrash them in the next round. But Bompey will turn them over. Looking forward to reading all the hype from Allen about how it is the real south coast derby and how we should all be jealous of them owning their club.

Banega is a quality player and would be a huge signing for us. He could play in any of the top teams in Europe. Which is why I just can't see it happening. Unless he is offered a mad stack of cash of course! But if it did happen it would take us to the next level. Maybe Cortese thinks we need a star signing this summer that would make other players/clubs start to take us and our vision more seriously. Maybe if he joins MP can get him to act a bit more 'Saintly'

I got a feeling we will see a Spanish club and a German one playing us in pre-season. So going to go for Malaga and Schalke

Yeah he played one game for Celtic. A 3-0 loss to Braga.

Now Lovren has signed (and because I am bored) I was trying to work out players who have joined us who had CL experience? Obviously there have been a fair few who have gone on to play in the CL after leaving us but wondered if Lovren was the first to play for us after being in the CL? And I mean the Champions League (1992 onwards). So there you go, maybe we can come up with a full list to pass the time EDIT: Skácel played in the CL so Lovren was not the first. But be interesting to see how many there have been.

Watch French football on tv last season (mainly because of how good PSG had become) so saw a few games with him, thought he did quite well. He is doing alright in the national games, would not say he has dropped to 4th choice considering he played against Wales recently and scored a goal? Plus he missed a few due to being injured. The guy clearly has a lot of potential. There is a lyon forum where he has had over 7000 replies in a thread about him http://forum.olweb.fr/showthread.php?145158-Officiel-Dejan-Lovren-signe-à-Southampton. Pretty mixed responses, which is to be expected with any football player. Some will like them and some won't. At the end of the day he is a lot better then the rest of our centre backs so it is an improvement. Is he worth £10m+? Personally right now I don't think so. But if MP can get him to reach his potential then it will be well worth it.

E3 conference starts in 10 minutes, should be interesting
