Ah I'm on the Xbone, I used to play clubs a lot but switched focus to UT. This is my squad http://www.easports.com/fifa/football-club/ultimate-team/show-off?showoffId=cCMk7zqUbtSW:360

Dang, nice squad! Jealous of the amount of coins you've spent. Eto'o looks like he has been absolute beast for you! Just as an FYI, Fernandinho is really quite good as a CAM. He pairs really nicely with Paulinho at DM. Probably worth having in your squad in some capacity!

be honest, how much have you spent in real money on FUT?

Yeah I might just try and get him. The player I really want is Yaya Toure. I've been hoping I'll get lucky in a pack. It's how I got Eto'o. I had an amazing team in Fifa 13, mostly because I got Ronaldo and Falcao in packs. Sadly the teams don't carry over.

 

[Barzul]

On FIFA 14? Nothing, on Fifa 13 my brother and I did spend around $50. But it was over the course of a year so not really that much in the grand scheme.

Like 1600 MS spacebucks when they hacked my account.

[LegoArmo]

They ruined Ultimate Team in FIFA 14. I miss being a self made multi-millionaire in FIFA 13.

Finally played The Walking Dead S2E1. That was some good shit, lots of tension and stuff to do. Debating if I should get the season pass for 15 or wait till they go on sale at some point. I know they will.

And I think but I'm gonna try putting away 50 euros each month and add a little birthday money to that amount and get a PS4 with Arkham Knight in october. I guess more interesting 'next gen' only games will come around that time. Seems like a good time to jump in.

 

[Meier]

I haven't spent any with 14. I probably spent about 800/$10 on 13 on my 360 although that was all in credit that I had in the account already.

I just bought it and I probably wont play the damn thing until it goes on sale. Fuck steam.

Suarez “Two years ago I received an important offer from Serie A,” he told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I was in the eye of a storm but I decided to stay at Liverpool. Who was it? I’m not going to say.

“Never say never in the future. My immediate future is at Liverpool, but it would be an honour to join the history of South Americans who have gone to Serie A.”

Playing through the new Tomb Raider game seeing as it's free on the PS+ store.

It's alright. Some nice ideas but otherwise a fairly shallow TPS. The exploration stuff is cool and I despised the old Tomb Raider games so the shootbanglinearfest of this title made it more appealing to get in to.

I do like this Lara Croft iteration too. A likeable character, albeit very easily swayed in to psychopathic tendencies.

Game looks quite nice in many areas as well. Lovely environments.

I think I'm at the end now but yeah, it's a decent game. Not superb or great, just decent and enjoyable.

 

[Linius]

Tomb Raider was dumb fun, don't know why I ever bought for full price though. Poured maybe 20ish hours in the main story and never played it again after that. I could say the same for The Last of Us because I hardly replay games, but because of the experience it felt like it was worth it as opposed to Tomb Raider.

Man I still have so much games to play. My 360 backlog consists of South Park, Bioshock: Infinite, Arkham Origins, Bully and The Witcher 2 now. And then there's still some stuff on the 3DS I bought but never played. I'm such a lousy gamer

 

[Mr.Marston]

I bought £9.99 worth of coins a few months ago and they deleted my team for it...

I had players like Schurrle, Lewandowski and an In Form Thiago too.

 

[Wes]

Broadchurch yay or nay?

A different take on a murder mystery drama. Much more personable. For that reason alone I rather enjoyed it.

I figured out who the killer was after two episodes though.

Welcome to Palermo.

 

[TheLucifer]

Dark Souls has a different vibe this time around, can't really tell why.

--

No De Jong and Rami tomorrow.

It seems like a lot of supporters don't care about Udinese and just want to see Milan give everything against Atletico. I kind of agree, but it'd be wiser to focus on the Serie A and the EL race first, then get whatever we can from the Champions League. Even if we get to the quarter finals, we'll probably face Barcelona once more.

Balo out, Suarez in. Where do I sign.

 

[Meier]

Broadchurch yay or nay?

I liked it a lot but the fact I really like Tennant helped a lot. It is very similar to The Killing and the other crop of recent dramas of that ilk (missing person, 1 case lasting a whole season). They're doing a US remake of it with Tennant playing the same role.. kind of odd.

How do you buy coins? Trade some shitty player for a huge amount of coins after paying outside the game?

AndresON777.

That's who.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Yeah that's it.
This KSI guy was promoting it (don't know if you've heard of him), he's pretty chummy with EA (gets invited to play the game early etc.) so I thought it was ok. Doesn't help that the in-game packs are a complete rip either.

 

[Elchele]

I disagree, but I've read some articles that went in the same direction (i.e. "Sammer is powerless"). It's difficult to say what his contributions are though, but I like his mentality.

Was a comment on Sammer telling that Bundesliga clubs should stop whining about Bayern being so much better and start working with 100% commitment.

Might be true for some shit clubs like Schlacke but what a cunt thing to say. Klopp's remark was short and fitting.

Yes, I read and I think he was right. Some clubs are a mess, like you say Schalke are on the top of the list. Dortmund, Bayern, Augsburg, Mainz are the only ones playing to their potential; the rest are playing like shit and have no balance/stability.

Wolfsburg could be among the best in the world if they got their shit right, Hecking is a step in the right direction but he's nothing extraordinary or even great.

At least to me it makes more sense to ask the rest of the Bundesliga to get better than asking Bayern to be worse. That would be idiotic

Also, Sammer is part of the board. He has much more power and decision making than Nerlinger ever had.

 

[Elchele]

Those players weren't signed by Nerlinger, nor by Sammer. I'd bet my ass it's still Hoeneß making the decisions on big transfers. Martinez was Heynckes' wish and Hoeneß believed his old pal. Rode and Kirchhoff are the only signings that were probably 100% Sammer signings. And well...

But Sammer at least talks a lot with the players, Nerlinger was completely useless. How much influence that is in detail, nobody knows.

You know who was Nerlinger's transfer? Petersen... and Usami. And maybe Rafinha. He was a puppet, Sammer is not a puppet.

Quick news:
Di Marzio: Morata is being targeted by Juve and Inter. UGH
Podolski could be heading to Inter next season, his agent is dropping some hints.

Ah, well..fuck..

I gave up on The Killing after two episodes. It was too fucking depressing and had way too much drama for my liking. It was clearly a good show though.

I fancy Everton and Fulham to get draws tomorrow. Easy 2-0 for Chelsea

Well, this is similarly depressing but mostly I just meant the concept of a full season being devoted to 1 case. I think it's definitely worth giving a shot. You may be put off by it though.

Why would he be sacked for dropping points against West Brom and Liverpool?

If he's safe now, he'll be safe then.

Moyes won't be sacked unless he finishes 10th or lower.

Sorry manutd bros

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I think a large section of fans would reach melting point if they lost to us at home. I don't think they'd sack him now as there's nobody on the market to replace him, but I think his position would be under serious review in the summer, with massive question marks about whether he can be trusted with a significant transfer kitty.

 

[Yurt]

he's leaving after this season, even if they finish higher than that.

But fans don't make decisions at the club.

While the atmosphere could get poisonous if/when United lose to Liverpool and City at home, all indications are that Moyes has the backing of the club. They're already resigned to a season without winning anything and have failed to qualify for the Champions League, so nothing more significant can happen by the end of the season that would make them change their mind.

[subtles]

Sturridge has scored more Premier league goals in 34 games for Liverpool than Welbeck has in his entire seven-year professional career.

The Guardian article is fascinating.

Looks like Messi having to vomit is a problem he has been having for a long time now, they can't figure out what's wrong


Messi is already dead

 

[wedward]

Moyes won't be fired this season.

Wilshere still has the same potential he always has had. It is slightly worrying he has so rarely shown the form he had in 2011, but I he is only 21 and was put under way too much pressure.

I think he will end up like Ramsey. Put the pressure on someone else, give him a solid run of games in his preferred position and he will get back to where he was.

He has been more petulant this season than ever before, but I think this has been a very frustrating season for him.

All the future England captain talk certainly didn't help. I think Ramsey playing for Wales has been hugely beneficial in his development.

I think that, if he'll actually move, it'll be to one of the top 3-4 clubs in Europe. Milan might get back that status in four or five years, if everything goes according to plan. I always liked him, I remember having him at Ajax when I was their manager in FM a few years ago, he was incredible.

Oh well, Mastour will do. We'll play the deciding round with him.

If I was in Suarez's position I'd have been annoyed with the way things went in the summer, especially with Henry coming out and saying there was actually a release clause. Having said that I also wouldn't have signed a new contract in January(?) like Suarez did.
