COME ON YOU FUCKING SPUURRSS Love this shit

spurs 2 - 2 city liverpool 2 - 1 chelsea camaaannnn!

The thing with you is, I look at all the other teams and I feel I could feasibly win the upper league in a couple of seasons, but then i look at eights. You are just too good. Peeps can we get the VIP graph for middle league please? That would be lovely to see. Gonna repost this... Archie this season has - most points - most goals - most assists - most xperts. Netting me a cool 1.25 million econ. PFA Player of the year. Will miss the middle league, but really Winston shouldn't ever have been playing with the likes of Dragoon and Haden's Rangers. Another class. Hit my target of 50 goals this season too! Roll on change reports! And Aq, I'd be happy with most of those, though I think a few of the 13's could be better - duj and warm, for example.

sign me up for the cup! edit: federer and rossers rovers too

Change of plan, scrap du rheart's love child. Sorry about that one. Rossers Rovers are stayin playin, having looked to have earnt promotion this year. No no, Haden put out a strong side, looked to me like he was going for the win (since if he'd beaten me he could've on the league.) Pleased with my win! Only two goals for a stunning season total of fifty! Archie! Dominated the league. Here is a TERRIFYING thing that happened today Shit my pants

Came in here with in the intention of posting this song... had it on repeat all day, really fantastic. Really hyped for the album! Graceless is also a great one, from the session on 6music a couple weeks ago.

Nah, 7 of his starting 11 were 20 or younger, definitely wasn't intending to win, especially with 3 at the back. Hoping to net 6 more in my last two matches to bring my goal tally for the season to 50... Exciting for that no.3 spot! Haden, will you be going for the title now that you're more or less promoted?

He's fucking dreadful. Last couple of weeks I thought maybe he was finding a bit of form, holding up play a bit and scoring a couple of important goals but, urgh... we'd probably already lost that shootout after the save from the huddleston penalty but still, no idea what he was playing at. Really think our season could be significantly better had we signed a striker. On the upside, really exciting game, and we've still got a shot at top 4 in the league...

I roger federer's brother (du reahrt's love child) will be playing next season so dont delete his team. will check that is still the case and get back to you though.. up for the cup. reckon i can win it. COYW. 3 - 1 dragooo for the spotlight. 6 above 8 skill, even if they play in the wrong positions...

not made by me, obvs. but yeah, double jump unlikely unless he's already on 4.4 or something - you might need 18 dv two seasons in a row. Lol at how everyone in mid legue wants to stay put. Rod Fed is also looking for losses now..

Looks like I'm definitely getting promoted... I want sweet dvs like this every season! I'll miss you middle league! Might go all out to win the thing now. Gonna throw out a big well done to my buddy Rodger Federer who is currently sitting in 3rd place and looking getting promoted from lower league to upper league in only two seasons at the club. Very impressive! I should have a couple of not-too-old 11 skill players on my team next season so could do alright in the upper league. Need to invest my savings, 6 mill, on a couple of decent buys in the silly season.

First gold heart. So very proud. Shame he had a poor game to mark the occasion but still, what a player.

where, pray, was this sneaky deal? Local hmv game and blockbuster all closed, and I want to play it at launch as I've got a few days off work. Review scores are brilliant. psyched.

Inspired by some chitchat on a new ps3 topic. What games do you think you'll remember most fondly in a few years time? I'm throwing out Bioshock Heavy Rain Geometry Wars 2 Skyrim N+ #truenintendofan Mass Effect may be in the mix when I finally get round to the series. I feel like maybe I'm missing out on one of the games of the generation there. Here is a thing, N-Europe. I recently bought a PS3, at least 30% for Unchartered 2 (30% for the last of us, 30 for heavy rain and journey and an optimistic 10% that last guardian will be out for it, which it will definitely not be). Anyway. It pains me to admit, but I don't like Unchartered 2. I don't get the hype! I love the locations, really really brilliant looking levels. And then obvs some of the set pieces are really brilliant. But it's so completely linear, the puzzle are rubbish, the climbing is boring... Obvs, it's not bad, but more of a 7.5 / 10 in my book (and I really wanted to like it! I bought the system for the thing!) am I alone? Hit me with your thoughts. Edit: Rooting for Wii Sports actually. Why not? Probably the best multiplayer of the generation.

We luv ya for it. Keep up the cracking writeups, happy birthday bro!! (Think I might be a day late here but yknow, the thoughts there...)

Thought it might make an interesting topic given that loads of people on general chat don't seem that into nintendo games any more. How did you find the forum in the first place? I believe I found it through the N-Europe whilst searching for nintendo podcasts a few years ago. Lurked for a while and eventually signed up, since when I've managed a mighty 0.86 posts per day... Weird to consider how long I've cumulatively spent on here as a result of hopping round on itunes one night...

Yeah sorry bout that, turns out I didn't need it urgently, but could do with one soon if you still have it going spare?

Was a joke mate, chill out. I think we can still get 4th, I just think it's pretty stupid to blindly say that we've got 4th all sewn up and the gooners are out of the race, as that was plainly never going to be the case - it was always going to be tight for fourth. Nothing wrong with acknowledging that we don't have a perfect team thats going to win every game. The fact is that we've looked pretty average going forward for a while now, with the exceptions of Bale's moments of brilliance. It's not being negative it's being realistic, jesus. edit: and I'm pointing out that we really, really should have bought a stirker in January, which everyone was saying at the time. I hate that everyone who supports a football team automatically has to have ridiculous biased views, stupid expectations, and that if they have a realistic / balanced opinion on their team they're automatically a 'bad fan'. It's bullshit.

Fuuuucking ssppuuurrsss. I want to at least be smug and tell Dazzy that I was right about him calling our season a success being way to early but I can't muster the energy. Shocking week. Why's Holtby not getting any time at all? Gotta be at least getting him on as a sub when we're a goal down. Adebayor is rubbish, news to noone.

Long shot: has anyone on here got one of those 48 hours xbox live trials going spare? Like you get with Halo 4 etc. Want to play some coop (of the mighty N+) with a buddy who lives far away but don't want a years subscription as it's a one off. If anyone could PM me one I'd be eternally grateful... worth a shot.

Not too bothered about winning gams this season but the fans are baying for blood, bring it onnnn!

Urrggghhh Sppuuurrrsssss. Can't believe the second goal. Can't believe we threw it away. What a waste. Suarez first one was a peach tbf...

Well I suppose it's because I dont think he is 'continuing' the debate - he's taking it totally off topic by taking a very minor point and turning it into a ten minute video (way longer than it needs to be) that is pretty self-indulgent. Literally half the video is about a squabble he had with some idiot on tumblr. I don't think saying that some feminists are dumb, in the same way that some sexists are dumb, is bringing anything to the table. I guess his point there is that everyone should be allowed to voice their opinions (although when this woman on tumblr disagrees he basically humiliates her on this video) but given how pointless a few minutes of video that was, I thought it kind of went against his point. Mainly though I just found his tone very annoying, smug, and self-important throughout, whilst actually not really saying anything at all. The title to the video, 'who's the damsel now', is particularly irritating too - it's childish, and again totally ignores the substance of her video. re this In reality, she has made herself into the trope she complains about. She baited and selectively picked negative comments throughout her Kickstarter campaign to kick it into a media frenzy, casually ignoring the comments that made rather well constructed arguments. I'll admit that I haven't seen anything aside from her video and a bit of the kickstarter promo so I'll take your word, and maybe the topic has more relevance than I thought. I wouldn't say it makes her a damsel in distress though - the damsel is surely defined by passivity, and she's clearly been pretty active in addressing the issues that she sees. Also I'd say that selecting a few negative comments is argueably for the greater good - the promo has clearly worked - funding was really successful and the doc will be seen by millions of people, so arguably the nature in which it was made was probably for the greater good. Also I don't think she can really win here. From what I gather, in her kickstarter campaign she discusses negative and sexist comments she's received through social media, and people kick up a fuss. Then she turns off comments to get away from that, and people still kick up a fuss. Yeah ha, the big boobs of SC and DoA are almost too easy a target really. Like you say I'd be more interested to see what she has to say about evenly drawn female character in contemporary games - Laura Croft is a great example. Jade from Beyond Good and Evil is another that I'd hope she'll mention, if only in passing.

Who gives a shit that comments aren't allowed, theres clearly hundreds of places online discussing this video (about every games website i've been on this week have featured it, with comment sections) its just that, for example, thousands of troll thumbs down on the video might discourage people from watching. Recognising that youtube isn't a particularly good forum for measured debate doesn't make the host a 'damsel in distress', it's just a sensible decision. The guy who made the video is a a prick, and it's a pointless distraction from the documentary itself. Back to the actual video, thought it was anokayish watch, didn't know the stuff about starfox (and loled at the sax music). In general I thought there wasn't much that wasn't pointing out the obvious to the average gamer though. I'll be more interested in the next part, given there are a lot more examples of balanced female characters in contemporary games in comparison to the rampant sexism of earlier games.
