Big Red Fury

I think you'll find that many City fans reveled in the fact that it was Tevez that sent them out.

I can't tell if I prefer the Lyon kit or that PSG offering. Will be getting one of them however.

I had a game with a number of small European and ex Soviet Union nations. Took over Qarabag Agdem, finished 3rd the first season and won the next 4 titles on the trot. Got the Kazakhstan national team job and finished 3rd out of 5 in my Euro qualifying group but did not qualify for the playoffs. Quit the Qarabag job because I could not get anyone else to offer me a job. Once I was unemployed I was beating clubs off with a stick until I eventually took the Rubin Kazan job. In my first season with Rubin and hoping to crack the top 3 but there are some excellent teams and the Russian player minimums are a real pain.

Let me be the first to say that I have no interest in C. Ronaldo coming to City. We'll be made to look like muggs paying that much for him, meanwhile United will get Sneijder and De Gea for less than a third of the price. I'd much rather battle for Sneijder and Alexis Sanchez. Maybe a cheeky bid for Baines or Michel Bastos as well.

AHA! But according to United players and fans we aren't really your rivals. So technically Carlos didn't join a 'Massive Rival' if we go based on the drivel pouring from Trafford. Do me a favor and do one. United fans didn't seem to have a problem with Carlos joining them from West Ham, it's only when a player chooses to leave the club on his own terms that he suddenly becomes a mercenary.

Have a very big soft spot in my heart for the Bees so today was a great day. Took away the sting of City pooping their pants at Everton.

Anyone up for a dynasty style fantasy league? PM for the details.

Changing league co-efficients is definitely in the game now but I am very intrigued by dynamic league reputations. I had a game a long while back where as Bohemians I had won the league something like 5 or 6 times on the trot and had made it to the Group Stage of the Champions League twice. In real life that would lift the profile of the league, even if it was just minimal, but in the game I was consistently limited by the types of players I could bring in. Hopefully this new feature would alleviate that.

My latest game is with Blackpool. Just barely stayed up the first season but I made a ton of money so I had a nice little kitty to work with. My current 25 man squad is GK Stipe Pletikosa (Joined from Spartak Moscow for 325k) GK Paul Rachubka GK Matty Gilks DEF Ibrahim Kargbo (Joined from Willem II for 2.9m) DEF Dekel Keinan DEF Neal Eardley DEF Inigo Sarasola (Joined from Sociedad for 275k) DEF Craig Cathcart DEF Ian Evatt DEF Chris Basham DEF Jose Manuel Catala (Joined from Villarreal on a free) DEF Paul Beekmans (Joined from SC Cambuur for 55k) MID Sotiris Leontiou (Joined from Panathinaikos for 220k) MID Malaury Martin MID Elliot Grandin MID Jason Koumas (Joined on a free) MID Madson (Joined from Santos from 1.9m) MID Gary Taylor-Fletcher MID Charlie Adam MID Luis Boa Morte (Joined on a free) MID Jason Euell MID Radoslaw Majewski (Joined from Nottm Forest for 325k) FW Jermaine Beckford (Joined on free) FW Vaclav Kadlec (Joined from Sparta Prague for 3.6m) FW Garry O'Connor (Joined from Birmingham in straight swap for Alex John-Baptiste) FW Christian Vieri(Joined on a free) I realize that there are 26 names but I included Kadlec because he plays a lot but he is U-21 so not actually registered. In January Diego Tardelli is joining from Atletico Miniero for 11.25m so he'll likely replace Vieri and hopefully bang in the goals. Have a lot of nice young players who may or may not pan out. Jeffren, Koke, and Samir Kouakbi chief amongst them.

It has really been a tough season. Easily the best since the first and I think I like this group of kids more than any previous. I was starting to really like Matt so it was tough to lose him but I think Vince has become one of the most compelling characters in the show's history. Plus we still have Riggins.

I believe the general explanation was that he didn't have any of his clothes with him. Luggage wise I mean.

I thought Letterman made a pretty good point, The Tonight Show at 12:05 technically isn't even The Tonight Show, it's the Tomorrow Show.

Some City fans were in melt down over this. Personally I could give a shit. I mean I heard his explanation today and I believe him, even though I don't believe he should have had to make a statement. It's not as though I think he loves Arsenal, as evidenced by his celebration and kicking Van Persie in the face. I'm not worried, but many were going nuts about it.

The thing that gets me when ever I see those Le Tissier goals is just the absolute ease with which he makes them all look. The majority of them it looks like he's just taking the piss. That first one off the free kick. Who tries that? Unbelievable. Wish I had been into the game when he was at his best.

While I'm sure that the BCS played their part in this, the biggest villains in this story have to be the Fiesta Bowl organizers. Why they would select TCU over Iowa when TCU can't even sell their own place out is beyond me. If they had picked Iowa, we wouldn't have seen this total boning of a contest between TCU and Boise. I think TCU rocks Boise and instead of now two interesting matchups, we get a non-BCS matchup and Georgia Tech/Iowa in a game that NO ONE cares about. It's too bad Colt's pass didn't float a half a second longer because if it had I'm not sure the voters would have put Cincy ahead of TCU. Even though I'm not sure who is better out of TCU or Texas, I think Texas is made to order for Alabama and I think TCU would have given them a much better game. I see TCU, Alabama, and GT rolling, Oregon beating OSU by around 10 and Florida and Cincinnati playing a surprisingly competitive game that Florida will win with another "magical" Tebow moment late in the 4th.

I saw an interview that Lithgow did and he said that the name of the last episode is "The Getaway". I'm very interested to see what happens here. The season has been brilliant.

Blew my freegoin mind it did.

It's entirely possible that I read the time stamp wrong but either way it was a lame ending before the time stamp and still lame after it.

Saw The Box today, I thought it was pretty good. 8/10

I'm beyond bummed out about that last episode. I mean, I get it and it was poignant but I really liked his character. Can't wait to see how things turn out?
