St Marco

Ok not sure how reliable this is but Kokatu seem to think it is Los Santos i.e San Andreas (Los Angeles). If you think about it, it does make sense. That said though the V comes from a 5 dollar bill which could maybe indicate Washington i.e Capital City. Whatever they do though i just hope they return to the old school humour in the games. In a way Saints Row has taken over GTA in that regards. It is more "fun" to play Saints Row then it is GTA4. If they do go back to San Andreas i hope they make it exciting to be in. Liberty City just seemed dull.

Which bit are you refering to? If you are talking about our away results we have played 7 won 2, drawn 3 and lost 2. But form guides are not made on total results for a season are they.....What you did in the first month isn't indication of how your playing 4 months later. Most form guides use 5/6 games to base a teams form on as that is normally just over a month or so's amount of results. As i said above based on "form" we sit joint 22nd just as that link shows you. Have not won in 6 away games in all comps. Our last away win was against Swindon which was 10 games ago. As i said our away form needs looking at. Don't see how that is worth shooting down?

To be fair that isn't quite right. We have actually only won twice in seven games now. That is only 28% win ratio in the past 7 games. Away wise based on the last 5 games we are joint 22nd http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D1/aform.html Only 2 teams have worse away form then us right now (Pompey and Coventry). It is only a cup game and shouldn't be looked into to much but i think it is pretty safe to say our away form needs looking at.

6 away games now without a win. Must do better.

Ah well can't win them all. But just to Echo the above comment our away form is really poor. Sure it is just a cup game and we made changes but so did they, can't use that as an excuse. Based on our last 5 away games in the league we sit 19th in the league, 3 points from 15. Hopefully Adkins can start doing better in away games as if we can get that right we would be miles clear. On a plus note at least we are out of the cup and can now fully concentrate on the league.

Finally got around to having a go today and to be honest think it is a bit "meh" really. More of the same as before, nothing really new other then the ability to add new leagues. Which is great but feels just more of an update then a new title. The other thing is i still don't get how the game runs so slow for what it is. It is just a database but yet seems to hog all the processing power. I have a 4.6ghz processor and it still runs slow on that even though i have a very high end pc. In the Gamespot review they actually say that it is why it got only an 8 as in this day and age it shouldn't be like that. I hope for the next one SI can maybe create a new engine that is more in line with modern ones and isn't such a resource hog. The fact it runs slower then say a game like Battlefield 3 which is far more complex is a bit silly. Or games such as Total War which have bazillions of different things going on at the same-time. How much "power" should it use just tracking text code? If they could sort that out it would be great. Because to finish a season now takes a long long time.

No the point was their keeper didn't do much. If you look at it like that you could say those couple of blocks by Jos were chances then. If anything Chaplow should of shot before the player got in front of him.

Yeah but that header was tame, and i don't remember Chaplow getting a shot in on goal thought he blasted it wide? And the block was not a shot, he got the ball before he had a chance to shoot. Which is great defending not good keeping.

To be fair i think that is looking at it a bit unfairly. Other then De Ridders goal i don't remember us even forcing their keeper to make a save? Davis on the other hand made quite a few hence why he got man of the match. Before Ridder came on we just punted it up field and hoped for the best. They must of had at least 15 corners? Personally i felt we were very lucky to get a point.

Possibly the worst i have seen us play under Adkins but good teams get results when they don't play well and we did that today. I really hope he cuts out the hoof ball because for the most if it we just punted it up to Rickie. De Ridder saved our ass. Think he deserves to start. A good point but have to say we were very lucky. Also Guly needs to be dropped now. He isn't doing well out on the wing at all imo.

That is pretty sick to be honest. While i don't agree with what he has done, you can't treat someone like that and expect to be praised. The guy should of gone to jail, had his trial and then spent the rest of his days in prison or hung. That is what democracy is about. They are just a bunch of thugs roaming around with guns given to them by the west. In the next few months you watch them fall into civil war when they can't agree on who is running the country. Bunch of savages as someone else said.

Got a Tevez shirt? Throw it in the skip and get a brand new shirt! http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/oddballs/879184-manchester-united-and-city-fans-urged-to-trash-their-carlos-tevez-shirt Have to say that is pretty cool.

I agree with a lot of what you say but my point is people look to the state to help them when **** hits the fan. Isn't that one of the reasons we pay such hight taxes that so when we fall on bad times we will be "ok"? The reason it has hit the fan is multiple reasons but the main one being the banks screwing up. Seeing as the state (us) helped the banks out surely it is down to the state to help out the people affected from that? Of course this women could go and work at somewhere like Asda but if you read it she clearly says she is a part time student, the other part she is a carer to her unwell kid. Meaning that it is unlikely she would be able to do full time work. That doesn't mean she doesn't want to do full time work. The guy should of read those things and dealt with it in the right manner. Surely the point of a councillor is to counsel people? His job is to talk to his community. If he doesn't know how to speak to his community in the right way they surely he should not be doing that job?

Okay i will bite..... So let me get this straight. In your "world". Someone who loses a job can walk straight into another job pretty instantly right? Because you obviously have an issue with people on benefits. You imply that is is their own choice to be on it right? So say you work and you have been there 20 years but in that time you don't really earn too much due to the nature of your work. Your not some high flying politician etc. The banks then feck up which the government decide has to be paid for by the people. The economy nosedives and nearly all sectors have problems. Your company loses trade because the people on the street can no longer afford luxaries. The boss of your company tells you that they have to make cuts and sadly your fired. You join the ever increasing unemployment (over 2.5m people) line and go to the job centre. In this time your eating away at those savings you spent 20 years collecting even though they are only small. You were maybe saving for that cottage somewhere in Devon. You keep applying for jobs, especially ones your trained at but find out there are 10000 other people applying for the same job. Meaning your chances of getting that job are very low. As time goes by you still have not got a job and have now run out of savings. You go to the benefits people and ask for a bit of help. After all you heard from the Daily Mail it is great to be on benefits right? They inform you that they won't help you until you have used up all your savings and have potentially sold your house. You now realise you have to downgrade and sell your house. meaning you have to gather more funds to pay the estate agents while at the same time look for somewhere else yourself. Eventually you downsize and continue to look for jobs. That 10000 who applied for the same job you wanted has now grown to 15000 people meaning your chances are even less. You now start to get worried as your thinking how can you get one of these jobs with more and more people applying for it? At the sametime your funds at home have almost dried up. But your bills are increasing. The cost of buying fuel to go to these appointments is at an all time high and the gas and electricity companies have decided this year we want 200% profit so your prices have gone up. You have cut back as much as you could and finally you get accepted onto ESA benefit. With your huge amount of £8 a day you can start to live that life of riley that the mail told you about right? Your be lucky if that even covers your fuel bill to the job centre. Point being the government uses the benefits thing to influence people such as yourself. You read all about the people who claim benefits while doing sky diving with a busted back and so on. What you don't read is the story of above which is far more frequent then the guy out having fun with his benefits. Most people on benefits want to work. They try hard to find work. If there are no jobs what are they supposed to do? Starve to death? Round them up and put them in camps?

Exactly. That is what annoys me. I work as a business analyst and try to advise companies the best i can. If those guys make a decision that is wrong then they suffer because of it. When we give them advice we let them know the pros and cons. We don't force them to make a decision we just give them advice. Banks on the other hand get the same advice but live by different rules. If they gamble and lose they get helped out = bosses get nice big bonus. If they gamble and win = bosses get a nice big bonus. They have no fear of doing the wrong thing because they know that regardless of what they do they themselves will be alright. They are pretty much in a win win situation. The bailout if anything has just increased their arrogance. However when it is the other way around and a company makes a bad decision and thus has to close it won't get help and the people who get fired won't get help. The worker will become unemployed, have a bleak chance of finding re-employment in the current climate, be faced with no income unless they go and ask for benefits. Of which the only way they will get that is if they have used up their savings first. Then they have to sell their house if they are lucky to have one. If they don't then like with this women your forced to private rent. If you don't have that money what can you do? Rent is going up while housing benefits are going down which is obviously why this women couldn't afford it. Her only option is to downsize the house and move elsewhere or hope the landlord has a change of heart. But with the current inflation that is unlikely. The stress to the women will be huge. especially if she has to look after an unwell kid. She will be worrying from the momment she wakes until the momment she tries to sleep probably. This councillor has probably never had to worry about anything in his life, at least not in the sense where he fears he will be homeless. He is one of the highest paid councillors and through his entire career has pocketed more money from the tax payers then she ever will. I imagine if he listed his expenses for the past 20+ years some of you defending him would think twice. The fact is what he said is actually correct but it is the way he said it that is the problem. There are no councill houses. If she is paying £950 a month on a 2 bedroom house then that is a bit steep. If it has gone up to £1000+ then she should look elsewhere. That is being realistic. But it is the emotional stress that is the issue, she asked him for advice and he basically told her to become homeless. Someone who is distressed and worried for the future should not be hearing stuff like that. Especially from a guy who pockets £120k+ a year from the tax payer and probably has countless homes paid for by us lot. What iritates me the most is the misconception people have of people on benefits living the life of riley. I just hope they don't lose their own jobs and find out it isn't quite what the media like to portray!

Yeah i thought that too. "We hate Pompey we hate Pompey". Couldn't have put it better myself!

Have to say that is a really **** advert.... When i first saw this one i thought it was the FM12 advert [video=youtube;SPVwvcdYg-g]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPVwvcdYg-g That would of been perfect for FM

To be fair if we progress at the rate we have been would not suprise me to see Cortese start the stadium expansion. 4 years is a long time. Getting a full house on a cold tues evening in the championship shows that in the pl we could add a lot more people if we had the seats.

Haha classic

Waaaay to early. However..... If we throw it away now it would be up there with the worst feck ups we have had. 7 points clear of the last team outside the playoffs. The good thing is we are a couple of months away from the transfer window and we have cash to spend if needed. We are in a great position and it is in our own hands.

If you create a new sainsburys entertainment account https://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/home.html and enter the code JSGANEW102011 at checkout you can get it for £30 Probably be able to trade it in for more then that!

Huge match tomorrow then. Win it and i think we can deffinatly say we should be there or there abouts at the end of the season. We could be 9 points away from 7th place meaning we would really have had to blow it to not even get a playoff spot. West Ham seem to be a bit like us. Can score goals for fun but leak goals too. This game could be a 4-4 draw or something like that!
