Roma, I guess? I don't know how seriously they will take it though.

Spurs, Liverpool, Wolfsburg and Napoli must be the other favourites.
Not too seriously. They're guaranteed a CL spot, crippled by injuries and they're not that far behind us in Serie A
 
I mean yeah they're innit, so are West Ham technically but its not a cause for concern.

Lets see how they fair after a few back to back Europa League/Prem games. It's ridiculous that any team has to travel so far and play again on a Sunday, without Europa league 100% I'd be concerned but we've been here before almost every season.

Really never understand this point

Go to Ukraine on a Wednesday, play on Saturday, fine.

Go to Moscow on a Thursday, play on Sunday, massive drain.


Obviously Spurs had a record last season of not being able to deal with it, but they've done fine this season with fixture congestion afaik

Crippled by injuries

Ljajic not among them

Blablurn fucking banged me in that last match. Was unlucky to lose the second, fucking De Gea. But the third... Ribery & Robben on the counter, fuck.
 
For me this is the only enjoyable part of gaming side these days.

This new gen of consoles has really hit the quality of discourse and I (and seemingly most others) don't have the energy to attempt to discuss things with screeching parrots in their respective echo chambers.

Common Hitch, look at the results this season. They've dealt with it better this season I'll give you that but it's still an issue.

August 2014:

Play Europa League, they loose 0-3 to liverpool

September 2014

Play Europa League, loose 1-0 to west brom

October 2014

Play Eurpoa League, loose 2-1 to Newcastle

November 2014

Play Europa League, loose 2-1 to stoke


Like say what you will but it obviously has an impact on their performances.

I'm sure if checked evertons record it'd be similar
 
Last night I played captain toad. It was pretty great. Then soon I will play bayonetta 2 which is pretty great

What a console

Due to my moral code I can't play Bayeonetta 2, one of the worst offenders of sexualizing females. I'm not surprised by a person like you enjoying it. But I just can't.

Not very interested in captain toad, it looks like a prettier iOS game.

Spurs would have lost to us regardless. Its what they do these days. And its hasn't needed the EL for Everton to be shite in the league :p


I think the difficulty of their remaining fixtures will have more of an impact than playing in the EL. Spurs weren't exactly convincing before December or so, so its tough to say how much of the EL-hangover was actually a hangover, and how much was just growing pains under Pochettino,

I mean true, but it's not just spurs that suffer with Europa League hangover, but you make a valid arguement. I mean the point I'm trying make is this, Europa league is going to have impact on them especially if they feel they have a chance of winning it. Tottenham do not have a nice fixture list either.
 
Christ, I hate PC gamers.

I refer mostly to technical threads, where exclusive console owners with the mental age of a 9 year old come in and start trying to tell everyone how their lowest common denominator, built-on-a-small-buget console is some sort of a technical powerhouse while throwing around technical terms they have no clue what they mean. Then someone else who also exclusively owns a different console takes issue not with the techinical inaccuracies of the former's comments, but because they had the gall to say their console is good. Then starts the arguing in usual console warz fashion. While all the PC guys who actually know what the fuck they're talking about look on mildly bemused by the two chimps slinging shit at each other.

Candidate for FIFA presidency Luis Figo wants the WC to be expanded to 40 or preferably 48 countries.

Actually expect this will happen in a decade or two regardless, looking forward to Egypt-Uzbekistan.

I'm not even even sarcastic.

That's how you get votes.

See, I always think this is like a massive strawman.

You're right in the main, but I generally see very, very few posts that pretend that gaming PCs aren't more powerful. Its a debate that simply doesn't concern PC gamers imo, but PC gamers seem fucking desperate to make sure everyone knows about the virtues of PC gaming, when everyone already does.

Look at every bloody Digitial Foundry head-to-head thread. First 5 posts, some knobend will come in and say something along the lines of 'PC wins again.' Of course it fucking does, it was never in question, and there are millions of people who don't have a PC with better specs than the consoles, and for those people, they want to own the console which runs games better. Constantly reminding them that you can get a PC with superior specs to the consoles isn't going to convince anyone to take that step

I wonder why RAD read GAF, I'd be totally put off at times if I were a dev. I mean I guess you have to be thick skinned and be prepared to take critique but there just seems to be a general level of hatred for this game, further fueled by people who vigorously defend it.

I'm disgusted by how many people in the review thread are hoping the game does badly. I think the guy from RAD had a point about bullying, it's out of order.
 
Fucking early kickoff... I'll be at work until the start of the second half, probably only going to get home for the last 20 minutes.
Oh well, we are going to be destroyed by Wolfsburg anyway...

...hate me...
I was thinking, we should take advantage of this recent pee boner for 1vs1 PES and setup a tourney, DBZ style, to decide once and for all who is the best poster in the world. That person will get absolute immunity against odd-like bans and also a 1 year free sub of GAF gold.

Think aboot it.

Anyone else?

That's like enough to setup a club, except who cares for that club BS.

I'd suggest a league though. At least a group stage + knockout, or a big league followed by a play-off between the top 4.

The final would probably become the largest broadcast event ever on Twitch giving us enough money to buy GAF from Evilore, so that's a nice perk as well.
