We won't see Dazzy until next season. Unless Spurs finally sign a striker. It'll only be the resigning of Darren Bent, anyway.

From one friend to another, hope you're ok, dude. Sorry for your loss.

So much arrogance behind this attack. Doing it in broad-daylight in a busy area and waiting around to be caught. It shows that an attack can take place at any time and anywhere. Thanks to social media, images of the attackers (including that vile video of one of them speaking) will be broadcast everywhere. It's sick. Genuinely angry at how people can do this.

I've never owned a 360 or a PS3 and I don't know an awful lot about the online services myself (because I've never used them), but PSN seems to obliterate XBL from an outsider's point of view. I'm seeing PlaystationPlus deals on here all the time, as well. Sony have really done well to reward their customers in that regard. I would've thought MS would have dropped the XBL fees by now. Surprised they're still going with that. Whether it's 25 quid or 250 quid, money is money. That money could be spent on another game. But, I'm still bitter about paying for the DVD dongle on the original Xbox to unlock the DVD functions...

I wish they'd go back to calling it the European Cup.

This is on my list of "to finish" games. It's a work of art! I loved what I had played of it, but it's so bluddy hard.

It's amazing how times change. A decade ago, we'd all be sacrificing lambs and slaughtering each other in the name of RARE. Now, nobody cares. It's sad just how far they have fallen. RARE's titles just don't have the same impact any more, and their name no longer sells. Lyk dis if u cri evrytim.

Considering it's the Champions League, it should technically only include Champions, but it obviously doesn't. Money. In other news, I'm surprised that Stoke have let Tony Pulis go. I can imagine them sliding down the table and into the Championship in a few years.

A friend on facebook has apparently put down a pre-order on the console already. Not sure if serious.

Whether this is true or not, Microsoft's handling of this whole affair/today has been shoddy. You'd expect better from them.

It's powered by the heart of a whale, hence why the casing is so vast. It also runs on hatred, much like the river of slime in Ghostbusters 2, which explains why we haven't seen any power adaptors yet.

This is the shorter version of the actual song, which is 9 minutes long. But, god daaaamn. I love you, Sigur Ros.

I do hope for Arsenal's sake that they spend some fucking money and buy players to supplement the likes of Cazorla and Arteta. I'm sad to see them competing for fourth and would rather be challenging them for the league instead of Chelsea and City.

Sony's library of exclusives puts them way ahead of Microsoft. On games, Sony has them by the throat, and they are getting better and better in this department.

Oh yeah, no denying that. It's amazing how bad it has turned out. Spectacular, really. I thought only Nintendo were capable of this capitulation.

That's what I suspected. In which case, I find it hard to criticise them for that. Somebody had to benefit from it, and it just turned out to be them. It's entirely different to the likes of City and Chelsea who have manufactured their success. But, on the other hand, it has allowed the league to become more competitive and it has enabled big names like Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure to come to the Premier League. There's also the argument that this has been to the detriment of home grown talent, but that's something else entirely.

Just an observation: It's nice to see both Nintendo and Sony fans team up to slag off the Xbox One. :p The forum is...ONE. Shi-, maybe this was the plan all along.

I love "that" line before the drop. I've been quoting it to Ine on the way to work. Can imagine some imitations/piss-takes soon.

The problem is that it's hard to quantify what is a "dive" and what is him "going down too easily", which is a big problem in the game. I hate it when Rooney and Young do it and I won't stand up for them when they do shit like that. Bale has already come out and said that he goes down when he feels a touch, which is the wrong attitude, in my opinion. I run an afterschool football club and also have a kick about at break-times with the kids. Two of the boys do exactly what Bale said he does and go down when there is a touch, even a slight touch. Today, one of the boys literally threw himself to the floor, like he was diving into a pool. I haven't laughed so hard in ages. It's ridiculous. They get it from somewhere. Why should it only be Champions? Probably because it's named the Champions League. It's supposed to be the best in Europe. Arsenal are fourth best in their own country. Fourth! Even then, they're 16 points behind the leaders, despite United playing terribly for the last few games due to having nothing of note to play for/the league being wrapped up. How is that representing the best of Europe? If we're letting in 4th, why not just let in 5th and 6th then, using your reasoning? Yes, you can compare the football to Olympics because it is about honour and achievement. Finishing first is a great honour. Finishing second, yes City will be disappointed, but it's still a good well done to get there. Third placed Chelsea haven't really been in the League running. It's terrible that Arsene Wenger refers to finishing fourth place as some kind of trophy and it's sad that teams regard finishing fourth in a league (being the fourth best in the league) as a greater honour than winning a cup itself. Name me another sport where you actually get rewarded for finishing fourth? The group stages can be "filler", but there are usually one or two games that can be exciting. Look at City's group this season, frightening as fuck. I enjoyed watching those matches. I'd be fine having it as a straight knock-out cup competition, although it would have to start later or something to prolong it. You're right in that the money men wouldn't be fans of it. I'm fine either way on this one as I see the pros of both. We've often heard about the FA Cup being less prestigious than before. Well, if there was an incentive such as entry to the Champions League at the end of it, then surely that would give teams more of a drive to win the competition? Also, I'm going to dispute your point about teams throwing money around. City and Chelsea, I'm with you on that one. However, I will disagree with you on United, as we have won/earned our money fair and square. Yes, we benefited immensely from the league changes around 92/introduction to the Premier League, but somebody had to get lucky and it turned out to be us. We didn't get pumped full of money by a sugar daddy like Chelsea, so I think it's fair to us to spend what we have earned. Agree with you on the rest, except Bayern, as I'm sure that they run their club in the proper way from what I've heard. I might be wrong, though.

"Get your tissues out!!" ":O Have u seen this!? xx" - posted from one friend on another's wall. "And once again Microsoft with Xbox has smashed the competition out the ball park ! Looks amazing "

I can understand why it isn't like that, because it would be less interesting without the group stages. But yes, if it were true to its name, it would only be the Champions of each country. The competition would be noticeably shorter and I think it would make things a bit too "easy" in terms of squad rotation. Part of the drama for me is seeing a team play on the weekday and then have a league game on the weekend. That's what separates the top teams from the not-quite-tops, because they can rotate their squads more.

There were 2 (maybe 3 if you include Chelsea for parts of the season) teams that were head and shoulders above the rest all season. Anything from 3 downwards was a "best of the rest". I just can't justify why a team finishing fourth in their own domestic league should have the right to be in the Champions League. The clue is in the name: Champions. At least with an FA Cup winner you'll have a team that have fucking won something! Finishing fourth isn't an achievement in any other sport. There's no Olympic Medal for finishing fourth. Look at the bolded part. It's a contradiction. You say "the very best", but Arsenal aren't "the very best". They're FOURTH best.

I genuinely worry about the future of this industry after reading up on some of the things that Microsoft are pushing. I don't like how they're pushing Kinect, and I've bought a lot of second hand games this generation...don't particularly like the sound of these changes. Wasn't going to get the next Xbox anyway, but this further cements my decision not to do so. Can't believe my facebook feed is full of people praising Microsoft for what they've just seen.

Whether it is a penalty or not, Gareth "I'm entitled to go down" Bale is reaping what he has sown. Anyway, the whole thing is a moot point because Tottenham's destiny was not in their hands, thanks to them successfully throwing away their place in the top four several games ago. Anyway, I'm dubious over why a team that finishes 4th is allowed to go into the Champions League in the first place. Top 3 should be enough and then the qualifying spot should go to the FA Cup Winner. At least then it is going to some kind of Champion. If the team winning the FA Cup finishes in the Top 3, then the other spot should go to the team in 4th.
