this is why Parma is not in Europe.
"how off topic lots of posts here are in recent MONTHS"
we're like...4 games into this season.
Nah, it's cool. No worries. I'm more confused about that dude who started that conversation. I would like to hear Wes' opinion on that.

No off-topic rhubarb, no party. Though I would ban the monthly debate about the Film/Album of the Year. And I'd ban it hard.
Hyped for Rossiter's debut tonight. Hope it happens.

"Another example is in the combat," explains Tabata. "With the hardware specifications of the newer consoles, it's possible to set it up so you have different enemies and different choices of attacks you can enter in, but I want to simplify that. It'll basically be a one-button action, and the AI intuitively outputs an action that kind of satisfies, gives you that instant gratification, and it connects with the simple touch of a button. I myself am not getting any younger. I don't want to be frantically pushing buttons. I also want to utilise the intelligence of the hardware spec, and not have to go through too much hassle or trouble in order to execute moves."

Suen failing a humour I see.
Yeah, i don't mind us playing some key youngsters, but I would like to see key offenive players out there, because we need to use this opportunity to keep gluing.
I really don't want to rely on Pirlo anymore. He is a liability if he isn't feeling a game and should only play in the biggest games. Conte's comments about Pirlo being ahead of Verratti the other day were very worrying to me.

Phil Neville: mufc must spend another £100m to be title contenders http://t.co/RrlnOaJ03Z
^I still don't know how I feel about current Pirlo, but there's no denying he's clutch and a leader on the pitch in our biggest games
I lost count of how many times he bailed us out with a FK or a brilliant pass.
are we talking Wenger-titles here or title-titles?

Thanks Phil, we'll just go file that with all of the other pearls you provided the club with in the last year.
That sounds shit. Absolute shit. I'll wait until I try it but the demo will need to REALLY impress for me to buy this.
I'd respond and tell you how it combined with the male-only party going on a road trip destroys any hope I had for FFXV to be a good game, but it is not footbal related.
So that Paderborn, huh? glad we got another game tonight. I dislike weeks without games in the middle.
Neville is probably right that a challenge for the title is still a few transfers away but the kind of capitulation we saw simply isn't going to happen regularly, and I don't think now is the time to stick the boot in.
Until Leicester ran rampant United looked excellent going forward. Marie is unstoppable and he's just one of 5 top class attacking players in the starting XI. For gods sake if you just drew a loose list of top strikers, even if you exclude Rooney you'd still have two of the world's highest regarded CFs with RVP and Falcao. A 4-man back line can't deal with that kind of onslaught.
That said Utd did lose the plot after the penalty, but I think Leicester deserve all the credit for how they played. I would love to see Liverpool go at teams with the same attitude they displayed. Leicester battled and pummeled that Utd back line, culminating in that cocky run of play where they passed around and nutmegged the defenders like they were Brazil 1970. They never lost their focus and never began to feel bad for themselves, even going down by two goals, and the crowd was fucking electric.
Against other teams, as we saw with QPR, United won't have trouble keeping the ball with Blind and Herrera in midfield. The problem Van Gaal will absolutely have to examine is what happens when the midfield gets bypassed with long balls into wide areas. The moment they lose possession there is about 15-20 yards of space between the deepest midfielder and the center halves. Imagine that was Hazard, Sanchez, Navas or Sterling against Rojo and Blackett, not Vardy and Nugent.
On FFXV:
I don't care if it's "casual". I'm not even hyped for it, but I don't give a shit if it's one button cinematic, whatever buzz words people hate. I have both casual and hardcore games in my library and I like it that way. Also I'm totally down for a sausage fest cast. I'm more turned off by Square's recent history of writing awful, unmemorable, melodramatic stories than I am of the road trip story (road trip stories are fucking awesome if done well).

Nice to see Rooney show he still has pace when chasing a total fucking lost cause.
To be fair to him, at least he tries.
Evra got away with not even jogging in that situation for years.

So FIFA PS4 bros.

United bros, explain to me what is the fascination of fans with Blackett?
Maybe I don't see it, but he has looked average to me. I read online people talking as if he is our best CB.
Yes, he has had some decent spells. But every game he has lacked what it takes to be a good defender for the full 90 minutes. He has made mistakes that led to goals. He has had headers that just go straight to the opposition every game and put defense under pressure.
What am I missing here?

This is so weird. I put up my old PS3 for sale not 3 hours ago, starting price of 50 bucks and immediately it's got 3 bids up to almost $200 with 5 days left on the auction. I wonder if my ps3 is rare? It's a white 160gb.

Top bidder is someone named worldshoppu. Makes me think it's a rare unit and this guy wants to resell it.

Stop bashing the hipsters.
It'll cover stuff I need around the new apartment. Still moving in.

Keep in mind that both of Leicester's first two goals shouldn't have been given. It doesn't excuse united defenders being crap but both instances they were given a way back thanks to horrible refereeing.

My friend wants to sell some gaming stuff, and went to CEX
PS3, and 20 PS3 games.
£108. Fuck that.
No, I won't keep that in mind and you shouldn't either. Your team just got a 150m injection and capitulated against a promoted side whose top signing was a 7m player from Brighton. Blaming the refs solves nothing. You'll win some, you'll lose some. But even on the games where you're not getting the benefit of the refereeing you shouldn't be conceding 5 goals.

I said it doesn't exist the defense being crap. But to say the refereeing had no effect is ignorance.
Yeah software in particular is worth jack and shit to resellers, which is why I'm selling everything through Yahoo Auctions. I'm guaranteed at least double what I originally thought I'd get and it may pull in even more.
The games I'm gonna sell are worth 1000-2500 yen on Yahoo Auctions, but a used game shop will give me at most 800 yen each. I was quoted 3000 yen for my limited edition ICO & SOTC set at a Game Trader, but I see it fetching 9000+ on YahuOku.
What I'm saying is that there are thousands of micro-decisions happening on the pitch between the officials and the players, and it's impossible to pinpoint the source of the problem because of the butterfly effect. Thus I don't see the value in even acknowledging a positive or negative influence from the referee.
I'm not saying it's not frustrating to have a big obvious decision go against you. But I'm not going to account for the referees performance because he's part of the pitch, and in every game ever you're going to have to deal with decisions going against you. You should never go into a game thinking "well if the referee is on our side today we might pull off a nice result!"
Where did you read that? Haven't heard anything myself but I wouldn't doubt it.
