I don't know, tbh. I'm completely on the fence with this one. Mourinho has his pros and cons, but I do wonder if he will be out to make a point this time around. He's received loads of criticism for "club-hopping" and not promoting youth players, so this could be a massive chance for him to prove those doubters wrong. I'm gutted that things didn't work out for LVG. There were points last season where I thought we were looking great and was expected about this year, but it just never seemed to happen. We didn't seem to be able to get going and the football that we've been playing this year hasn't been good enough. I'm amazed that we managed to get to an FA Cup Final (let alone win it!) and finish off the top four on goal difference based on how we've played this year. There are plenty of teams below us who I feel have had better seasons yet finished lower, so work that one out. There were lots of things that I liked about Van Gaal. Although he was forced to go down that route, he did get the younger players playing in the first team. Buuuuuut...he had to do that because of injuries and his signings not working out. There are also some players that just haven't performed under him, such as Januzaj and Herrera...Pereira is another one who I thought would be starting loads of games this season but just hasn't been given a chance. Van Gaal is an odd one. There are times where I think he's tried to be too clever for his own good and it's backfired terribly. The one thing I don't like to see is the way the BBC and outlets like that have been breaking this story. I know it's their job to report stuff, but talk about kicking a man when he's down. I don't think United have handled it amazingly well either, but the flipside of the coin is that LVG only had one year left before retirement anyway...so it's not quite the same situation as Moyes. Things weren't working and there's no real nice way of a manager losing his job. Had United kept him on, there's a strong possibility somebody else would have snapped Mourinho up and then we're up shit creak with a struggle for other options.

We've just started playing Heavy Rain and it's an absolute laugh so far. Ethan wakes up. Brushes his teeth badly, leaves half his facial hair whilst trying to shave and doesn't shower with any shampoo or soap. Says he should do some work before wife gets home...so he drinks JUICE OUT OF THE CARTON LIKE A FUCKING ANIMAL, then coffee and plays with a toy plastic sword outside. Such garden work. "Ethan, did you do any work?" "I tried but-" THIS IS ME. "Ethan, go and put the plates on the table." *needs precision timing and motion controls to put a plate on the table without making a sound*

Uncharted 4 First of all, this game is absolutely gorgeous to look at. Beautiful graphics and sound. I had a great time with the characters, with the settings and the traversing across dangerous areas and barely surviving by the skin of your teeth. For 95% of this game it's a complete and utter joy to play and look at. It sets the standard for 21st century action games. Buuuuuut, there's 5% of gameplay here that soured the experience for me and prevents me from giving it the absolute maximum score I could have. It's a shame that much of the problems with the game occur right at the end, since it's still fresh in the mind when you view the credits and leave the game. Everything up until Chapter 18 is a masterpiece, imo. Overall, it's going to be one of the best games of the year. Buuuuuut, it could have been absolute perfection. For me, anyway. It may be something that I rate much more highly on repeated playthroughs. I hope so, anyway. I definitely enjoyed my time with the game...95% of it anyway.

I've finished it.

I'm getting pretty pissed off and bored with this now. Up to Chapter 17, it was great and a real joy to play. I'm on Chapter 20 now and it's just an absolute fucking grind. Naughty Dog really ran out of ideas here. Here's a shooting sequence. Here. Have 20 enemies. Ok, you got through those 20...but what about THESE DOZEN? Ok, you just about made it through that...here's another 20. Just fuck off. The game was so beautifully balanced up until the last three or so chapters and it's become far too monotonous. Even if they cut the amount of enemies by half I'm not sure it would be enough.

A VERY close game. Felt bad for Palace in the first half where Clattenburg kept fucking up. Related to that, I don't think Smalling's first yellow should have been a yellow either. Thought United were unlucky not to score first after hitting the post and bar/edge, but I think Palace played well and deserved their goal. It was even after 90 minutes and probably about the same after the entire game. I don't think one side were completely in control, so a 2-1 score after extra-time is just about right. Rooney was great in midfield today, aside from some proper dodgy passes that will get overlooked due to his work ethic. I thought Jedinak and Bolasie were unlucky to be on the losing sides today. Both were fantastic and I wouldn't have begrudged Palace one bit had they found a winner instead. Smalling is a stupid fuck at times. Should have just let the player go, I'm sure there were covering players and there was over half the pitch for the player to run anyway. I think he's a great player, but he makes too many stupid decisions. Could have cost United big time today!

The DLC is tremendous value for money. I seriously can't wait to jump back into this game. Been looking at screenshots for Blood and Wine. Seriously, it's my most anticipated thing this year. Can't wait! Hnnnnnnggggg.

I've not been feeling too well today, so I think that's had an impact on my enjoyment of the game today.

Looking sexy as fuck, @Blade. Massive improvement. Your stomach looks so much better. (well done for being brave in posting your naked self) Arse pics, pls. Please respond.

FA Cup Final Daaaaaay. Cmaaaaaan. I fancy Martial and Rashford to both score. 2-0 United.

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking that. I consider Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher to be great players-turned-pundits. But, Scholes is fucking terrible. He's so negative about everything and always seems to be moody about nothing. He sorta reminds me of Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, for some reason. That same sort of cynicism.

I reckon the more you pester him to play it, the more unlikely he'll be to start it. Let him play it in his own time. I think he'll enjoy it, but it is a big commitment. Trailer looks great. Really can't wait.

He's such an unlikable prick. Can't stand him. Liverpool desperately need a ball winner in midfield. I wonder if Klopp will attempt to raid Dortmund for Gundogan.

Somehow, this is all Louis Van Gaal's fault.

Lovren and Moreno are the weak links in this team. They'll fall down the pecking order next season.

I really fucking hate Chris Sutton. Paul Scholes is one of my heroes as a player. But...he's absolutely fucking miserable as a pundit.

I've never found Michael Owen to be THAT bad. He's not a natural pundit and doesn't really have the charisma or personality for television, but I wouldn't say he's god awful. There is a bit of a "it's cool to take the piss out of him" thing going on.

This is a great game. I thought both goals were really well taken and with an excellent build-up. The tie is well balanced. Next goal is absolutely crucial.

I'm still plugging away. There's a noticeable difference in my stomach/ab area and my clothes are starting to feel baggy.

Bought these on PSN for about £25. Looking forward to playing them through...at some point. Will start Heavy Rain after Uncharted 4.

This looks absolutely fucking awful. It's going to bomb.

So...a team that finished 3rd (level on points with the second placed team and four points off the leaders) are out of contention for promotion to the Premier League, yet a team that finished 15 points beneath them are one game away from doing so. The Play-Offs are a load of shit, tbh. It's anti-football. If you finish third, you should be going up. Just wait until they do a play-off for the last/third relegation spot in the future.

So...*ahem*...as I was saying, Spurs are definitely the best footballing side in the league.

I've been hhnnnnnnngggging pretty hard on the graphics in chapters 8-10. 10 in particular is just jaw-dropping. Really can't wait to see what Naughty Dog do next.
