Good post. I can see why the bedwetting is happening, but when you think about it the board have had their hands tied in a number of ways: we are not a big club, we can't offer European football and hey, this is just how "the best league in the world" operates. Ruthless and set up for the top 6.

What do you expect? A personal text message every time we receive a bid? That's not how football works and you know it. People need to get a grip.

I fell for Ralph's comments yesterday, so I renewed. Tonight I'm feeling like a right ****. Whatever happens, I'd want to be at every game next season so a ST is the best way to do it. COYR (Someone please tell me I'm not an idiot!...)

You know I meant on both systems, Pap my old boy'. Regardless of pixel count, I am looking forward to another 5 or 6 years of gaming.

Don't care what the fee is, I'll be gutted. Before the world cup as well.

Meh. Nevermind. I've said it before and I'll say it again, its only uber-bores like Pap that will know any different. The fact that pages like the one quoted above even exist is testament to how utterly bang-average the actual games have been so far.

Renew my ST and 30 seconds later this thread appears. Can't see this being a goer, fortunately.

Both of the above games are just rehash ****e, I don't know why you are surprised. CoD is utter, utter garbage. The changes they made to FIFA last year were a total abortion. I picked up an Xbox One about 3 weeks ago. With my virgin 50mb internet connection, I had updated the machine and downloaded Titanfall in about 3 hours. Loving it so far. Even with the "shocking" "garbage" 900p resolution (the same resolution a swaith of ps4 games have had to resort to using). We are early adopters of a new console generation, in other words, total mugs. All the same, I love the TV integration, and the voice control is spot on.

Moyes would be my pick, for what its worth! A few years of stability, pretty much no chance of being relegated and a chance to push on (if slowly); Don't think he'd come here, though. Would like to be proven wrong.

Bloke can't win. We're not a big club and because of the way premier league is structured (money talks) it was always going to be a huge ask to push on to the next level. How could he follow NC? The manager was here because of him, so it was obvious he was going to jump ship at the end of the season. People need to wake up.

I watch a **** load of football and I have no idea who you lot are on about. Yakin who? I said that about Poch to be fair!

Bollards.

Who said it excited me at all? How did you come to that conclusion? I just find it sad that whenever the club, or a group of fans, do anything other than rock up to the game in jeans and a T-shirt people like you throw your toys out the pram. Did you have had a reserved upbringing or something. Did daddy spank you for having fun? Did he call you a 'poof' when you started drinking cider instead of beer?

Bet the vast majority of fans on Saturday at least stick the masks on for 5 minutes. Not everyone is a complete and utter dullard. Sorry, I mean, cool as **** footy fan geezer ****.

Loud and proud today guys can feel a win coming on. COYR!

Intensity and tension in CoD. Lolz.

Well that was annoying. The first four goals in the game came form individual errors. Then we let in a good goal (for a change). Should never have lost that after cruising at 2-0. Gutted.

Nope, it isn't!

Yea, let's just forgoe the game, let them have the points and go on our holidays. As long as the England boys don't get a sore knee, I don't care either! **** the Saints, who needs em!

Your point on Nintendo is a good one. I am a Ninty gamer first and foremost, always have been. 8 out of the 10 best games I played in the last 12 months were on Wii U / 3DS. The 3DS has absolutely killed it this year, with its 400×240 screen resolution. Its disappointing, I agree, that the Xbox One isn't up to outputting some pretty bang average looking games (technically speaking, COD and BF4 for example 100% last gen spec, with a few of the scale-able specifications cranked up to 11..) in 1080p. Heck, even Super Mario 3D world on Wii U is native 1080p. As is Assassins Creed 4 on Wii U, a point that passed nearly everyone by, because people were too busy comparing the pretty insignificant differences in the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game. The PS3 had a smattering of games (the wonderful Uncharted, Last of Us and GOD of WAR) that harnessed its technical superiority. While the Xbox 360 had a handful of exclusives of its own that made the system worth owning, and playing, in its own right, even when they (Halo!) couldn't hold a candle to the beauty of God of War or Uncharted. It will be the same this generation. My time in and out of the industry merely told me that when it comes to games, even the people that make them are like sheep, people own what their social circle owns. Infact, the majority of the devs I have come in to contact with hardly play games at all, they are coders and artists first, gamers a distant second. The scrutiny that certain gamers put every little piece of news regarding the new generation is utterly laughable. I played far too many games for my own good in my time as a games journo, for every platform going, from every genre you can think of. It's gameplay that matters most, not negligible differences in visuals and performance.

I studied Games Tech at university for 3 years, wrote for a meta-critic affiliated Games Review site for 2 years and worked at a AAA studio for 6 months while at uni. I don't work in games related software now, but I would say that I am more than qualified. You can throw all the stats at me you like, but I just don't care. This thread is about which console people should buy, and for me it is about the games. You know, playing games. Not getting 1 inch from the screen to fascinate over the minute difference in anti-aliasing between platforms. This is nit picking, absolutely. People that need 300ppi screens on their mobile phones and 4k output on their TV's are in the gross minority. Most people either don't care or won't see the difference, because they are not nit picking, like you are. I love games because I love playing games. I will have the same overall gaming experience on my PS4 or Xbox one, which ever I choose to pick up. It'll probably be an Xbox One because its use as a multi media tool, at this moment, far outweighs the experience offered with a PS4, that and the controller on the PS4 is still doesn't do it for me.

The stats I've read on frame rate put them on a par. The whole point in lowering the internal resolution on Xbone, from a developers point of view, is to keep the frame rate the same across platforms. Frame rate > visual fidelity, that is their focus. They could easily keep the internal res of Xbox One at 1080p, with minimal frames dropped, but they would rather their game ran smoothly 100% of the time. What this basically boils down to is nit picking. You can tell the difference on a 22-inch panel? Give me a break. The benefits of 1080p over 720p are only worth it if you sit 5 inches from your PC monitor, or your TV size is 32-inch and above in a normal living room environment.

No it isn't. The internal resolution defines the precision of how the polygons on screen are drawn. The texture sample size will be exactly the same across platforms. Same lighting, same textures, same number of particles wizzing about the screen. You will tell the difference on a huge TV, but the draw distance and other boring crap I just mentioned will be exactly the same. Anyone who says the PS4 is "miles ahead" just because of the internal render resolution is talking out of their arse. Am I qualified to say this? Yes. Yes I am.

We lost an away game in the premier league. We are having a decent season. I'm over it. On the the next one
