Support NeoGAF

[L1NETT]

Scoring for fun at the moment, makes you wonder why Sanogo is above him in the pecking order.

Needs to be doing it in competetive football though

Ain't scored in either of his two loans. Sure the Cov fans can tell you more about him.

(I would take him on loan in heartbeat though

Aaron Mclean is overpaid and shit)

Hitch I've started the game. Just send me a msg on PSN when you're ready.

I suppouse this is good for United GAF

Beautiful.

Random thought for the day: I hate the shitty roof on Old Trafford; it ruins everything. The one on the new parts of St James's Park would be so much better.

That's why the stadiums in Spain look so big because they don't have a massive sloping roof.

Sigh.

I'm don't know much of Chile history, but I think Pinochet's dictatorship is partly responsible to why Chile has great governments and politicians now, better than the rest of the Americas.

Also, everyone in Latin America hates chileans :lol

Didn't he murder loads of them after overthrowing the democratically elected government? After being funded by the US, too.

Great News!
Paulo Bento has been sacked as Portugal's manger.. their defeat at home against Albania was the final straw ... following a terrible World Cup showing.

Fuck you Sporting fans and your Sporting lackies.

Crucible and bounty-hunting is ridiculously addictive in Destiny. Gimme all dem gears.

Really impressed with the FIFA demo. The little touches added to the general presentation make it feel much better as well.

And Raheem Sterling was MotM, so it's realistic too.

what's worse:

Those guys that don't like a game because they read some shit sometime on the internet.

or

those guys that constantly belittle guys who don't like their game and constantly want you to ignore all the negative opinions, because they want to justify their own enthusiasm for game by stonewalling any criticism against it?

Videogaming simps.

Sterling is 80 rated in the final build. Ridiculous at his age, but well deserved.

'Sleep like a baby tonight' is already a U2 classic.

Why am I liking this album so much? Their last few records have been mediocre. They've no right to be making decent music at their age.

I've never understood this. Plenty of people still do, but the general public isn't necessarily willing to listen.

Talking more about the mega acts. Bowie and the Stones pretty much jacked it in post 1980. Dylan has gotten progressively worse with age and the less said about Metallica/RHCP, the better. All these performers have periods at the very tops of the game and then just putter out. U2's new stuff caught me off guard. Was expecting it to be crap.

Tom Waits is still going strong though. He gets better with every album.

Well, Bowie went weird by choice more than anything. He already showed with Reality and The Next Day that he can do classic Bowie whenever he feels like it imo. A lot of artists seem to run out of ideas, and just get boring. But I blame that on their own lack of creativity, not age. Nick Cave has never had that problem. Johnny Cash got good again at a very old age. Even McCartney can be pretty damn good when he wants to be.

Does age not factor into loss of creativity? Personally, I think there's an interconnection. Lots of factors throughout your career shape you. Society, politics, finding love etc. Then the biggest problem of all, success. Must get very difficult to keep pushing yourself when you've been in top for so long. Takes a special kind of person to keep producing creative music well into their careers. Cave was smart and branches off with Grinderman. When he came back to the Bad Seeds he had new ideas. Don't know what Waits has done to keep himself at the top of him game though. Mans a genius.

Possibly. I've not gotten (particularly) old yet. I imagine family along with success would be the biggest things. Also striving to recapture past form, instead of striving for something entirely new. The best bands completely reinvent themselves at every opportunity I think.

U2 did the reinvention thing pretty well in the 90's. Achtung Baby and Zooropa sound nothing like their 80's stuff. Problem then is what do you do when you've reached the natural climax to your new sound? Change tack again? Would be very hard to do. I know Radiohead tried this and achieved a measure of success. But even they turned back to a more 'classic Radiohead' sound after Hail to the Thief and Amnesiac.

Can't wait to score a 90th minute goal in clubs and have the unsung heroes, our bench, run to the pitch and celebrate

Yeah, kind of. I felt they more blended the previous two sounds together with In Rainbows. And then went a bit nuts with the first half of The King of Limbs. There's no need to upend the apple cart like Radiohead did though.

hahah i listened in on that on Radio 5 Live. Wenger saying that if he was at home when Arse signed Welbeck he wouldn't have let the transfer go through.

Yep, they show them celebrating on the bench too in highlights, I did some replay analysis and they are actually emoting as the game goes on too

My problem with U2's new releases is that I keep expecting them to somehow come up with another Achtung Baby. Which makes no sense on a purely rational level, because they clearly don't have that spark in them anymore. The craftsmanship is still there, but the edge is gone. Has been for a long time now. Pop was what, 1996?

Having said that, Songs of Innocence does sound like a pretty convincing return to form. Lyrically, it's a much stronger album than their past three, and it's kinda refreshing to not hear Edge's staple, delay heavy riffs for once. I've resigned myself to the idea that we'll never get another So Cruel a long time ago, so ... Yeah, I'm liking the new album more than I thought I would.
