  1. Pulis' teams are renowned for it....Watching the game against Everton in one of his first games away for WBA, was painful. Time wasting has become a bug bear for me. ...It has become all too prevelant in the PL in recent years and refs are doing nothing to cut it out. I remember reading about a Stoke game, when Pulis was in charge unsurprisingly, when the ball was hardly in play throughout the 90 mins. I can't remember the figure now but I remember being shocked at the lack of value for money the fans were getting.

     

    I remember that - it was in play for about 55 minutes of the 90.

  2. Ha! Just confirms what I've been told for years. I don't know if he waived his 'loyalty' bonus (last update I had on Friday indicated he hadn't), but even if he had, what would that change? Still been an ego-driven disloyal tool. As I said, the club are not happy with him,and that's reflected in the coverage. Maybe a little nicer tomorrow, but only a little! Christ, even though Shaw got a bollocking for the twitter SNAFU, everybody at the club agreed it's because he's a bit dense, rather than malicious.

     

    Oh, and if anybody is wondering why Lallana was subbed so much/declared a non-target by Poch, one reason amongst many was his refusal to play the positions and channels that he was required to, even after video highlights proved this was his most effective role in proving goals (he had 1 assist in 18 games at this time). He paid no attention at his end of season review. If you go back through my posts you will see I tried to allude to this at the time (as much as possible).

     

    The worst thing is knowing that if he scores, he won't give a **** and will just start jacking off into the crowd.

     

    Steve, can we suspend the swear filter on this thread please?

     

    Any chance of giving us a few more of these reasons if you can? The guy has gone right down in my estimations.

  3. Only noticed today that they've taken out offline tournament mode and guest play in online games on next gen. Seriously, what the ****? The best part of FIFA was getting your mates round and playing a tournament with them! I guess they don't want to give people the ability to make a World Cup when they will inevitably have a Brazil 2014 game coming out.

     

    The most annoying thing is that these features still exist on the PS3/Xbox 360 versions. I guess I was stupid to think that the PS4 version would be an upgrade, not a downgrade.

  4. Maybe something like this:

     

    -------------Davis----------

    Chambers-Yoshi-Hooiveld-Targett

    ----------Cork----JWP---------

    Ramirez------Davis--------Lee

    --------------Guly-------------

     

    With a couple of big names and kids on the bench.

  5. @NabilHassan79: Fair play to Zingarevich for fronting up to the media at Adkins' presser unlike Nicola Cortese who bottled it at Pochettino's. #readingfc

     

    How does he know that Cortese "bottled it" rather than decided against attending so that the focus would be on the new man rather than what happened with Adkins?

     

    Exactly. Would he have shown up if it was on the same day as him sacking McDermott?

  6. Deep down in southern England by the docks and the quays

    Way down in a suburb known as St. Mary’s

    There stood a stadium made of metal and brick

    Where played a Barbadian named Jonno Quick

    Who never ever learned to pass or cross so well

    But he could score a great goal just like ringing a bell

     

    Go go

    Go Jonno go go

    Go Jonno go go

    Go Jonno go go go

    Jonno Quick

     

    That is just too ****ing perfect.

  7. Still struggling with Return of the King. Wanted to get through the Trilogy and read The Hobbit in preparation for the film.

     

    But Tolkien's books are so hard going that target is looking a bit forlorn...

     

    The Hobbit is much easier going if you do manage to finish ROTK. If you then fancy a real challenge afterwards try The Silmarillion.

  8. Boruc

     

    Clyne

    Fonte

    Yosh

    Fox

     

    Morgan

    Cork

    Davis

     

    Ramirez

    Lallana

     

    Lambert

     

    This. Those three in the middle would surely patch up our leaky defence at least a bit. And then we have the option of moving Ramirez central and bringing on Mayuka or Puncheon when we need to go more attacking.

  9. Seen all of those in the last two days of playing (since the patch). I don't think I have handballs on either - my defender was jogging a good couple of feet behind the attacker who had the ball.

     

    I'm not finding it easy either. I agree that the AI is tough, but it's tough in ways that just frustrate me - i.e. it cheats. Fouls on my player clean through on goal being given against me, the computer reading everything I try and do to defend against it and waltzing past me, the way it enters God mode at 45 and 85 minutes if it is losing and argh!

  10. A few of the interesting "features" I've come across:

     

    - Players faces being missing

    - Linesmen running on the pitch

    - Penalties being given against me for absolutely nothing (replay shows my defending jogging along minding his own business)

    - Invisible ball

     

    Don't get me started on the AI and the momentum feature.

  11. Perhaps a bit of added bite in midfield would be good to battle with Nolan, Diame and Noble?

     

    --------Gazza--------

    Clyne-Fonte-Yoshi-Fox

    ----Davis--Morgan----

    -------Chaplow-------

    Mayuka--------Lallana

    -------Lambert-------

     

    Was torn on Puncheon. He had a good first half vs Fulham but a pretty woeful second half. Mayuka's pace could be useful on the break after clearing some of the many set pieces we will be facing.

  12. Well you'll have to do better that "I think" to trump a link written at the time with the information I mentioned reported on it. The OS will probably have eradicated it from history as well...

     

    Thanks for posting the video to prove I was right.
