I'm starting to believe in the whole momentum/scripting in fifa. There is no way on earth Giroud would score a hat trick in a simulated football video game.

Just saw that Wonga - who is our new sponsor - has given the naming rights of the stadium back to the fans which means Sports Direct Arena will be called St James' Park again!
http://www1.skysports.com/football/...sees-Newcastle-United-return-to-St-James-Park
It's a clever move from Wonga as it distracts the fans for long enough so that the serious issue of being sponsored by a legalised loan-shark is not brought up. That £5m per season Wonga are going to give Newcastle comes from the poorest people in the country, people who are the least able to afford the exorbitant interest rates charged on those loans. Surely the fans should be upset by this, I know if Spurs signed a sponsorship deal with one of these companies I would be cancelling my membership in protest.
But hey, you guys got the name of your stadium back so it's all good...

Do you use your membership to go to games with or other stuff? (I don't know how membership at spurs works). I find it difficult to believe that if having a membership meant going to matches that you would give that up over the sponsor.
I'm all for agreeing that its not exactly a great situation for the fans but they're allowed to advertise everywhere why shouldn't they be allowed to do it on a football shirt?

I dismiss The Walking Dead purely based on the premise. I am sour to all things Zombie and this silly obsession with them; their use as antagonists is nothing short of lazy.
I thought I was the only one. Zombies suck!

Funny, in the Walking Dead and most zombie films I can think of it's not actually the zombies that are the 'antagonists' IMO.

Exactly. It's the humans that are fighting each other. The zombies are usually just hazards
Sorry I couldn't resist
Madine scored, which is a bonus. I thought you were much better at the weekend when he came on, the shape was far more positive. There were times in the first half where you were almost playing a false nine.

I'm watching Being Liverpool. Rodgers comes off really well
He's a very good player. 18 goals last year, only really behind Ched (spit) and Rhodes in that league last year, quality wise. He had an injury set back or two ahead of the start of the season but if he's getting back into gear he should be starting games. Pound for pound he and Bothroyd is the front two we should be starting with.

Isco has a £17m buyout clause in his contract.
Fair few clubs should think about activating that in January.

You're sick so you're watching a documentary about Liverpool. Strange.
More seriously, it is really well done. It's kinda funny though to see segments with Jay Spearing for example, who then left. But that clown at the start who recites RAWK-ish poetry, what's up with that?

Noooo. What reasons will I have to watch Malaga if he gets taken away. That Portillo fella is quite a player too. (22year old attacking mid for Malaga). Obviously Isco is younger and better though.

I want a 'Being..' one done on Arsenal.
Haha, good dig. The poetry bits are a bit ridiculous. Had episodes piling up on the DVR so I figured it was time to knock a few out.
I dunno if you guys get Hard Knocks in the UK but I think this compares pretty favorably to it. I've been impressed.
I'd love it if United signed him but we don't have any space in the squad. He'd be competing with Kagawa and Rooney too.
Besides, we need a midfielder rather than another attacker.

Day 12: Incredible! Zamparini has still not publicly spoken about #Palermo since his 6 month silence promise 12 days ago!
In other news : Dishonored is game of they year so far. The way you can do everything so many ways kind of reminds me of hitman, so it's a thief, hitman, bioshock mix. Not baaaad.

Why on earth would they not make it an option to replay that second tutorial mission on its own? XCOM, btw

Yeah it'd be a lot more interesting that's for sure. Being United would be good too.
I just found being liverpool boring, I guess it's because I dont know any of the players other than suarez.

Premier League fans?

Would watch.
The only Barca documentary I know of, mainly focuses on Laporta and his struggles to make FC Barcelona successful again(4 seasons with nothing when he joined).
FC Barcelona: Confidential
It isn't the greatest docu but I enjoyed it.

Dave Kirkby I think. It was one of his well-intentioned but cringeworthy monologues which prompted my statement that football poetry and romantic monologues are the worst thing about the sport
Nah. I'd rather see Blackpool back in the top flight. They were fun a couple seasons ago.
If your argument was, however, that it's because Newcastle are a bigger club then I can see that as a reason.
Edit - Sorry for your loss, Facism

Not exactly the ideal logo to have on Newcastles shirts but by buying the name of the stadium, they bought me. And it is hard to be to on a team for having a sponsor that negatively affecting people when the team is playing in a league called Barclay´s and betting sponsors are everywhere.

I just googled spurs and sponsors, and under official partners I found Betfred.com. I would like to see from which part of the society they get their profits and it also extra bad that there whole business is built around making money from peoples addictions.
EDIT: My condolences goes out to you Facism
