Well that's not really strange since Iceland has better players then Slovenia in almost every position

Like who? I think I only know Sigurdsson. Genuinely curious, btw, as I don't recall ever seeing Iceland making it to Euro/World cup. Slovenia, on the other hand, manages to do that from time to time.

Iceland have a class striker, our striker. Though he needs to get back in form, has been injured for quite a while.

Sigþórsson is four years younger and shows great promise. If he manages to not get injured next season I could see him become a great striker. Haven't really seen Birsa play, so I can't say which one is better.

This Sig guy maybe good, but he doesnt even scratch the surface when compared to the great Birsa.

Lol, posted that Barca women gif in /r/soccer (urrrgh, that name) and added tiki-taka to the title, sure gets a lot of salty reactions how a string of passes is not tiki-taka. The internet sure does take things seriously :p

I mostly skim the frontpage for funny stuff, most things that are worth watching get a lot of upvotes so the frontpage is just enough.

And since I'm making gifs posting the occasional gif.

It's good for finding content but the way the comments are laid out makes discussion pretty much impossible in popular threads.

I can only look at it for a few minutes before I have to GTFO.

Well it looked kinda promising until 1:20. He pulls some sort of drone out of his ass and let's it scout ahead.

What have they done to Splinter Cell. Chaos Theory forever.

They focus grouped the shit out of it. 98% of all big games these days have no identity at all cause they are afraid of letting the game designers actually do their job, got to try and appeal to the masses as much as possible and as a result water it all down. Why the fuck does all games have batvision too now? Completely destroyed the fun of hitman too.

It's like they're almost scared to appeal to the actual fans of that series and what they want to play. Instead, they want to make something universal and a game which is very much the jack of all trades, master of none. It pisses me right off.

That's why Kojima deserves props. He does what he wants, and it's bollocks to you if you don't like it.

To be fair to them, maintaining top 4 status despite spending no money is impressive.

Also fucking lol at QPR. They've spent more than us, the wankers.

It's incredible and it puts them in a tough position with Wenger.

But they basically lied to their fans about moving to the new ground.

We have Stoke, Villa, Southampton to play. If we can't get 6 points there we will go down.

Yeah our game with you lot is looking unpleasantly important and visa versa :( Its getting tight down at the bottom.

Your game vs Newcastle has the makings of a real firecracker.

Kojima needs no redemption.

MGS 4, story problems and all, is still a better game than 99% of what's available on the market right now.

The problem with MGS4 was too much outside guidance. lol Ryan Payton making the entire team play Gears of War.

My biggest problems with MGS 4 was the fourth act. I enjoyed the nostalgia of the setting but I felt they could have thought the act through a bit better

I wasn't a fan of those little spider machines or the gecko's which populated the level.

Act 4 wasn't great but better than Act 5. Act 5 needed to be done again. Aside from the final fight with Ocelot the entire act was a disaster.

Loved the game though. One of my favourite games this gen.

Both acts 3 and 4 are horrendously lazy. Randomly placed robots in act 4, horrible open-world-game-esque 'stealth mission' in act 3. Act 1 was great, act 2 was okay.

The 10 minutes of gameplay at the start of Act 5 are the best in the game. Classic MGS. So polished, fast paced, a ton of possible routes, vision cones from cameras everywhere, no chance of running and gunning. If only the whole game had been that, just set on a massive Outer Haven. Would've been incredible. It was like the levels without the waterpack in Mario Sunshine, such a tease.

Our net spend is closer to 50-60, no way is it 88. Keane spent about £40m, Bruce's net spend ended up at about even, O'Neill about 25m. So 60-70 then. Imagine if someone competent had that money to spend. :(((((
