I'm gonna be online in about 20 minutes time if anyone's up for a game. PSN: junkd03. So far I'm 0 for 2 in ranked matches. Not good.

Consider yourself very lucky? I don't think Indiana Jones was that bad, there were some cheesy lines and the end was a bit 'wtf?' of course but it's not in the same league as Meet The Spartans. That was horrific and I was so glad when the copy I was watching broke half way through. Nothing will ever top White Chicks for me though. Yurgh. Thankfully, I'm through with the days of watching movies my girlfriends wants to watch even if I don't.

Even? I played absolutely appallingly. Everything that could have gone wrong, did. Just about every pass went the wrong direction, if I managed to get a decent tackle in I was hindered by my own player tripping over a teammate, I think I lost the ball twice due to it hitting the referee and what I thought was my best chance clean through on goal was called back for a freekick. >_< Not my day.

Was that a joke or did you vastly misread my gaming status? Cause I was playing LOTR:Conquest, and in my first game I got the trophy for 25 headshots via archery. Anyways, ready when TA is.

Was on the Rock Band PS3 store yesterday, and looking to download Lenny Kravitz. For some reason it listed it as Purchased, then when I attempted to 'Download again' it said the tracks were unavailable. What gives? Having had the game a few weeks (although barely getting a chance to play it) I'm quite happily passing songs on Medium now (except a few toughies which I'm just about scraping through, Suffragette City I struggled with). How good do I have to get on Medium before I start looking at stepping up to Hard? Also, where do I go to request some limp bizkit?

Tonight's good with me. If not (and taking TA's availability into account) then it looks like it'll be Thursday or Sunday as I'm working Saturday and will most likely be out for a pint after to celebrate the end of a bloody long 72 hour week.

Any news from the other Group B guys when we're gonna get the games played? If Bluebirds is available from 7pm every evening (and 11pm isn't too late) then we're good to go. Just need to know what TA and TCO want to do.

Like it. But is the tribal pattern meant to look like an owl?

Unfortunately I'm going to be a doubly annoying pain in the ass this week. I'm working 7.30am-6pm and then from 6.30pm-10.30(ish)pm. So any evening at around 11pm would be okay, but I'd be fooking wrecked by then. Weekend would be better but I don't mind an 11pm game if everybody wants to get it done sooner than next weekend.

I almost went to the game yesterday as well as I haven't been in ages. Gonna have to get myself there at least once this season. I was half asleep in my chair watching Soccer Saturday and couldn't believe we had 4 before the half hour mark.

I took note of your recent postings about scoring free kicks with Elano, so I made sure I had it covered. Not much to add to that so I won't bother with a report, save for an absolutely IMMENSE last ditch tackle by Juan to prevent Elano scoring in the last 10 minutes or so. Would definately agree TCO had the better game. I was barely able to get inside his half, let alone fashion any chances.

In trouble, that's where. Chelsea seemed famous for this same sort of thing a few seasons ago. I don't really see it as nicking a win, because by the sounds of the commentary Utd probably deserved it and Bolton stuck everyone behind the ball to defend. It stands to reason that the later it got in the game the further back in their half they were gonna get pushed and the inevitable has happened. What a sensational finish at Stamford Bridge, as well. Over to Liverpool on Monday now, the pressure's on.

The Godsmack one sounds familiar. Was it a WWE PPV theme a few years back or something? edit: Ahhh, Scorpion King closing credits track. Awesome. Knew I knew it somehow. I passed my first song on Hard difficulty guitar yesterday. Chuffed with that. Still not completed the medium tour though. Haven't had RB1 long but really looking forward to the RB2 release. I'm tempted to export the songs and trade in the game but I'll miss Enter Sandman, it's one of my favourites I'm a really big fan of Go With The Flow now too. Haven't been able to get it out of my head the last week.

Not exactly the height of wit, but I always find this one amusing: http://www.fanchants.com/football-videos/m...er-than-this-7/ I've heard it sung at Darlo away games. I know we shouldn't harp on about our nice stadium, but it's all we've got

TCO: I'm available tomorrow from lunch time through til Sunday. I'm busy Sunday afternoon though and it might be a bit risky leaving it til 8pm as suggested cause I may not be able to make it.

Cake? Not feeling too confident with my remaining two games being against opposition I've already lost to. Even winning one of the two can't guarantee qualification. Heck, depending on goal difference even a win and a draw might not put me through. I have to hope I can get two results and rely on TheArsenal to do me two favours, which is ironic considering he's wanting me to mess up for him

This has been on my to-buy list for ages but seeing how I just splashed out on Rock Band and my brother is getting it anyway I'll just borrow his copy. Never been a big fan of games that involve either close combat or combo button pressing but I'm sure it being a LOTR game will get me into the genre. The demo won't be a shade on the real thing so can't wait to give it a go.

AS Roma 1 - 0 Arsenal (AJ) - (TheArsenal) 13/01/09 @ The Stadio Olympico F. Totti (ROM) '45 Match Report Not a lot to write about here. Lag seriously restricted both sides styles. Before the goal, the only significant chance was for Arsenal when a ball slid was slid into the Roma penalty area and the striker cut across the back four to hammer a shot at Doni who parried wide. In first half stoppage time Totti recieved the ball in the box and from an awkward angle fired past Almunia and in off the post. The second half was more of the same. Very closely contested as Arsenal attempted to utilise Walcott's pace on the right and similarly Roma with Pizarro on their right who won man of the match for his efforts. MOTM: Pizarro Link to EAFootballWorld page for proof

No. Don't argue with Tom. Awesome, awesome win for United yesterday. I was driving home listening to the second half and had just pulled up on the drive when the second goal went in. Sounded like Old Trafford was as relieved as I was, it seemed really tense leading up to it as Chelsea had more chances. After watching the highlights, it looked a pretty even game. All three goals were absolute belters though. Shame Rooney didn't mention the corner plan to the linesman though, might've got away with it then. Love cheeky little things like that, they always seem to involve Giggs. I remember a previous one worked by Scholes and Giggs, think that was a free kick set up though.

That's awesome, but if you're gonna give worst design awards out, you need to start with the controllers. I believe I still have dents in my hands to this very day from those sharp edges. I also did not know that a Master System converter even existed until now. The best thing I owned that I can attempt to rival that with is the Menacer Gun.

That was nice. I love it when they ping off the cross bar and go in. No-one ever rates my uploads which sucks, so I gave you a 5 star rating I've had a few absolute screamers free-kick wise with Totti lately playing against mates but frustratingly they're belting off the bar so hard and flying back out of the danger zone.

Little bit late, but to add the the Villa debate, Milner and Reo-Coker are no slugs either. In fact their pace is the reason I picked Villa in the original league we had. TheArsenal: I'm free from now until about 6pm, then 4-6pm the rest of the week. If that's no good I'll see what I can do but I'm a little stuck as I'm on nightshift.

* *TheArsenal's view should not be taken as representative of Group B as a whole. (i.e. those of us who do not want a war).

It's a bit late asking that now Just play the bloody thing and see. In my opinion it's taken some getting used to but it's much better for it. In the same way as when I converted going from Pro Evo 6 to FIFA 08. It isn't perfect but it is an improvement. I find myself getting more and more into tactical play and using the custom tactics system now as it's been made so easy to understand and you can see it happening on the field too.
