What has changed from last year? Their midfield 2 is still a weakness as are their strikers. Any combination of attacking midfielders this season won't drastically improve last year's mata/hazard/oscar production. All they got was depth.

Can't really fault Mourinho too much apart from his transfers. He should have addressed those problems.

Mou outcast their best player (voted 2 years on the trot) in Mata. #SpecialOne
 
I'm surprised you haven't bought a couple of defenders and maybe a better holding midfielder than Mikel and Ramires ( I think Van Ginkel isn't enough)
I just don't know why we overloaded the positions we did. It's great to have good players and prospects, but surely you only need so many.

I really think Hazard needs to start living up to the hype. The guy shows moments of brilliance but not as often as I think we would expect.
 
Just did the first heist mission

Oh my fucking god

That was incredible

What did you choose?

I chose to go stealthy with the knockout gas, chose the best get-away driver, worst weapons guy, and the weird dude who you met in that other mission to do the alarm. Got all the jewels and made it out, weapons dude got killed in the get-away on bikes

You don't think Barca fans have a reason to dislike him?

He's a cunt but he still is one of the best coaches in the world and I don't undestand why Barca and RM fans should hate everything related to each other.....And good luck, Ancelotti is much more quieter than Mourinho...It will be hard to hate him
 
Couple of questions, as always


1) With Coutinho out, should we play Suarez behind Sturridge, instead of on the right, which is where I assume he'd play if we had a full squad to choose from?

2) How badly would Mourinho have to do for Chelsea fans to think that they should have given Rafa a proper chance?

I want to replace my S2. Not sure if I should wait for the Note 3 or just get a Note 2 now.
I'd wait for the Note 3 release.

Try them both and if you prefer the Note 2, the price should be lower.

Note 3 has a larger screen but I've not checked the Specs in detail. Not sure how much of an improvement it is on the Note 2.
 
Sorry I think atletico got that first spot.

If they beat Porto away in the next match then I agree. But despite beating us today I wouldn't say they were very convincing. They looked very tentative at times, giving Zenit some sort of respect that we definitely didn't deserve, lol.

We had more possession FootballFan, we deserved to win. /Xavi

How did it go for you?
My results:

I went the safe route but skimped on the hacker and used the guy from LifeInvader. This was a huge mistake as I barely had any time before the alarm went off. Ended up leaving with 18/20 cases hit but since I left only seconds before the alarm went off, I had heavy, heavy heat and my gunman crashed his bike right before we made it into the tunnel. Had to pay out $100k in casualty fees.

You forgot Liverpool fans. They already didn't like him, but especially don't like him because of Rafa.

All he did was poke Tito in the eye, not apologise then say "who is Tito, I don't know that name". And that's just one thing lol.

He pretty much ruined El clasico for 4 years. Tries playing football and got killied 5-0. From then on, he played rugby which made our players play like pussies which resulted in the most embarrassing shit in football.

As for ancelotti, I don't hate him, no reason to. If he does something stupid then that will change but I doubt he will since he isn't a maniac.

I love carlo and don't hate everything about Madrid. Hell I love the Madristas here. BUT Mou spent the better part of 3 years being an utter prick at Madrid and pulled that club through the dirt in the process. He was never out of the papers taking potshots at Barca and Pep (Barca players were also cunts in that regard). But the reason I dislike him?

Edit: Mind you he is a fantastic coach and I am sure he will come good for Chelsea. I am glad he no longer coaches in La Liga. The Clasicos became toxic between him and pep. It was bad for la liga.

About 70% of my dislike for him is the way the media are on his cock, 20% is for poking Vilanova in the eye (which is actually overlooked imo, its the absolute height of cuntery) and the other 10% is for generally being a tit :p

I don't think Rafa should have gotten a chance. Not because he was bad, I was up for giving him a punt and he done okay in the end. But it was a toxic relationship and better for both parties to part ways. There are a lot of people who would never had accepted him bo matter what, and that wouldn't be good for anybody.

José will get more time, from the fans at least, than anybody else. But it's to be expected. I think quite a few of our managers deserved more time, but with José you know just about everybody will give him it. I don't think it's blind loyalty or anything, just that unlike the rest he's been here and done it before.
 
The first heist and following 2 hours (7 in my case, bloody sidemissions :p) are when GTA5 loses the shackles of IV's restrictive structure, and clearly shows the player the bones of a terrific narrative.

For some reason I absolutely loved
simply stealing the exterminator van after creeping around the back and knocking the guy out

Superbike handling is far too twitchy imo, like playing Sleeping Dogs

One thing Sleeping Dogs absolutely *CRUSHES* GTA on is the aiming while driving. What a fucking pain in the ass to drive and shoot in V.

Yeah, it was better in San Andreas even

Utter shit control placement, especially considering that most (I think) people use their forefinger for both shoulder buttons, rather than middle on L/R2 and fore on L/R1

At the very least, it should be L1 to aim, R1 to shoot and square to handbrake
 
The combat in V is poor in general. No punch to the weapons and aiming while driving is impossible. Such a step back from Max Payne 3.

The weapon balancing is pretty brass. Every weapon takes down every bad guy in two body shots. They should have made free aim the only option, and tightened up the mechanics to allow for it, like an Uncharted or Infamous imo

Good results last night. Well done, Basel and Rafa.

I'm heartbroken Cou is out till October but it may give Luis Alberto a few much needed appearances. I really like what I've seen of him and with Gerrard, Coutinho, Aspas and Moses all fit he doesn't have much of an opportunity to get in the side. He should have a chance now.

went brilliantly. Did the same as you but went for the good hacker over the Facebook kid, got 90 seconds in there and every single case. Gun guy died but I picked up his money so it's all good. It was a fucking amazing mission

Did you play Lost & Damned?

Yeah! Honestly that entire sequence I was laughing so hard. It was brilliant.
 
The main thing that annoys me with GTA V is how long it takes to lose a one-star wanted level. Especially if I steal a car and get the cops on me, then I have to spend two minutes hiding in an alleyway

Didn't see the game because of work, but i'm not surprised Chelsea lost today. We've played exactly one half of good, attacking football this season, and that was against the mighty Hull City Tigers.

Did we at least look any better than we have in the PL?

Yeah. Hiding time should be proportional to the level you're trying to lose

Can you quicksave at the top of Chiliad, stunt-jump off it for the lols and load up the quicksave to do it all over again? There are some people up there I'd like to push off the edge :p

How do you push people btw? I'm sure you could do it in IV

when do you get to do the heist mission? i'm fairly early into the game:
i just took down the house where the tennis player that was banging his wife was staying
.

-15-
missions or so is when you start doing the preliminary stuff

I think you can, unless the autosave overwrites the quicksave

I don't think you can push people in V, I know L2 + square does a combat roll, but I haven't come across the pushing mechanic if there is one

A couple of missions after you meet Lester
 
As a Chelsea fan i am dissapointed by the losses recently but it has done nothing to shake my confidence in Mou I don't usually make judgments so early in a season.

It's going to be pretty fantastic when Napoli ends up in the finals with Benitez and Chelsea kicks and sputters out like a broken down beater car in the group stage.
 
Anyone else completely ignoring the socialising aspect? Is there any reward for doing that boring nonsense?

I got a stripper to "like" Trevor, and now she occasionally messages him naughty pictures. Also I did one of the random missions that occasionally pop up eg "omg help he just robbed me". One of them was a crashed car and after the person I saved is now an option as a getaway driver.
