Maybe some Blackburn Premier League winners videos would go down a little smoother?

Krul was brilliant for keeping Norwich in the game until that Maguire goal. Being a man down for 30mins plus was always going to be an uphill battle.

I was doing the washing up and missed the goal but that's the third game in a row that Norwich has made it to halftime without conceding, only to do so in the first 10mins of the second half.

They've definitely been better than they were against Southampton. I didn't watch the Everton game but have heard it played out similarly. Utd have still been out playing them, from my perspective, but Norwich's attacking play has been... existent for once.

Norwich vs. Man Utd just started on BBC1. You have to expect Utd will win but Norwich also have nothing to lose by going all out in this match.

Just watched the Chelsea/Man City highlights and, good lord, Pulisic was on fire in this game.

Why isn't the clock stopped for these water breaks? If they're mandatory then it doesn't make sense to just add the time on after 45mins.

Just buy 3-4 years behind and you'll never be disappointed. £1 is a much more reasonable price than £50 and all you miss out on is online play.

It's a shame we didn't get more for the transfer. That said, it was a nice surprise knowing he was gone. Although he felt like the only Chelsea player whose head was screwed on during the 2019 League Cup debacle with Kepa, Luiz was absolutely the dirt worst player on the pitch in a poor game when I saw Chelsea at Carrow Road in the FA Cup in January 2018.

He literally put out a statement thanking the FA for affirming that his actions weren't racist though.

Surely that means Walker and Grealish have to receive bans for their very public breaking of lockdown guidelines too?

Slightly disappointed in myself that I missed this. I've got the base game and was keeping an eye on the expansions until what would've been just days before this,

I don't think it's been confirmed either way yet, presumably because nobody actually knows. There hasn't been much comment on contracts that expire this summer either, as far as I'm aware. I've seen reports that Pedro is set for Roma when his deal ends but it didn't specify when that will actually be. You have to presume that it's an all or nothing thing really; either Pedro stays with Chelsea until whenever the season ends or he leaves for Roma and we get Ziyech as an immediate replacement.

So you're saying that he'll throw himself through the next transfer window?

Sure, provided it's a fairly swift process as the missus is off work today and committed do getting some housework done. Naitch#5823 is my Discord username. EDIT - I have no day preference.

You have to imagine that rotated cup teams will become even more prominent now. I still think sacking off the League Cup, as well as the Coupe de la Ligue in France, for at least a few years is the best way to avoid fixture congestion. At the very least, make participation optional. Totally fine with the Nations League being scrapped as well, if I'm being honest. Not much point in international friendly tours when you can't have fans in the stadium. They'll pop back up once that can happen, however, as the ticket income will look even more appealing. I suspect that the likes of Man Utd and Barcelona will be (more?) vocal about a European superleague due to their financial issues too.

Game bought. I'll be activating it tomorrow, hopefully my saves from the free period are still accessible. Pretty sure they're still on my PC at least.

I have to admit that £17 is very tempting. I'd only be able to participate during the normal 9-5 working week, however, as the time outside that is reserved for my still working missus.

January and post-Mania for every year are probably solid default milestones to plan around. Beyond that: June 2004 (Impact! on FSN) September 2004 (IPW:UK launches) April 2005 (ITV's Celebrity Wrestling premieres) October 2005 (Impact! on Spike) November 2005 (SHIMMER launches) June 2006 (WWE ECW launches) October 2006 (ICW launches) May 2007 (NWA/TNA split) October 2008 (Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling premieres) January 2010 (Impact moves to Mondays) February 2010 (NXT Season 1) May 2010 (EVE launches/Impact moves back to Thursdays) June 2010 (The Nexus debut / NXT Season 2) May 2011 (Impact Wrestling rebrand) August 2011 (First brand split ends) March 2012 (PROGRESS launches) May 2012 (NXT's new format) September 2012 (RevPro launches) July 2013 (Total Divas premieres) November 2013 (LDN's WOS Wrestling pilot) December 2013 (WWE's World title unification) April 2014 (GFW launches) January 2015 (Impact moves to Destination America) January 2016 (Impact moves to Pop) March 2016 (EVE relaunches) July 2016 (Brand split returns) November 2016 (ITV's WOS Wrestling pilot) January 2017 (WWE UK & 5 Star Wrestling launch) April 2017 (Impact/GFW's brief merger) May/October 2017 (Billy Corgan buys the NWA) February 2018 (5 Star on Free Sports) May 2018 (WOS Wrestling returns) September 2018 (All In) January 2019 (AEW launches) October 2019 (NWA Power debuts) are significant dates that stand out for US and UK wrestling, although by no means exhaustive. Not all may justify their own database but hopefully it'll help you plan things out.

Liverpool and co. are spot on that the matches will be better value for the broadcasters rather than less. I went from "well the clubs should probably pay that money back" to "Fuck Sky and BT". They want their money back AND the rights to show more matches? What a ridiculous expectation. I'd be very interested in any games shown by the BBC or on Amazon, however.

Cagematch has his first UK match listed in December '01 and last in October '04. Again its not vital but I could probably get exact dates as he lived with Ricky & Saraya Knight during this time haha.

It looks an awful lot like the 18/19 Chelsea home kit but with red, black, and... a different red.

I think its a great idea tbh. Once the groundwork has been done it'll be a lot easier to simply tweak everyone's stats and update information, such as title histories, as databases are released. For example, a January 2002 update would still have Brock Lesnar in OVW with fairly low popularity but a strong look (not entirely sure what the terminology is in TEW20). By the July 2002 database, however, he will have debuted on the roster, won the 2002 King of the Ring, and need to be in a position where his WWE title match against The Rock at Summerslam looks feasible. His popularity will therefore be much higher, though his stats might not need to change as much. Then compare that to a 2019 Brock Lesnar, who would presumably have better psychology stats and the like, which would have gradually been increased over time.
