LOL!!!! According to the commentator, Vanuatu's national anthem is called 'Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!'

This is the best part, when you get all these tiny islands you've never heard of! Marshall Islands! Eritrea!

Anyone watching the opening ceremony? That countdown clock with the drummers looked really cool!!

I have heard a lot about it over the last 2 years, mainly cos my mate nicola is a huuuuuuge fan. I've seen clips on youtube and looks like something i'd enjoy. Its on tv tonight but i'm out, so its set on the Sky Plus for me so i can watch it over the weekend. Will let you know what i think when i see it.

Latest news is that Stuart has been stripped of being Head of House after multiple housemates discussed who they thought would be up for eviction in code. Apparantly, Darnell was Arsenal, and Luke was Wigan.

I really liked it. It was a unique way to tell a story that made the movie great. I have only watched it once all the way through, the first 2-3 times i tried to watch it i gave up cos i couldn't follow it.

Just finished my 3rd season at Man City and what a season it was! A dip in form in the last 2 months of the season meant I missed out on 4th place by 1 point to Man Utd on the last day of the season. Lost the FA Cup Final 1-0 to Arsenal, but made up for it by crowning Man City Champions League Winners 4 days later! Beat Man Utd 3-1 after extra time! Took an early lead through Fernandez and when Rooney was sent off near half time for punching Lescott I thought it would be an easy win. Pandev equalised after 65 which took the game to extra time. But 2 headed goals from corners from Gouffran and Lescott sealed it! Not sure where i'm gonna strengthen next season as i'm pretty much happy with the squad i've got. Maybe a replacement for Van Der Vaart who is going to be moving on.

Well after a 2-2 draw with Newcastle (after being 2-0 up with 6 mins to go! Grrrr!), I'm now 12 points behind Spurs in 3rd, and 1 point behind Man U in 4th with 8 league games to go. Van Der Vaart has said he wants to leave, and seeing as he's been disappointing for most of his time at City i said i'll sell him at the end of the season. Got AZ Alkmar in the quarters of the Champs League so i'm hopeful of progressing to the Semi's to face Arsenal or Porto.

Bit bored so gonna post an update on my Man City game. Been using new tactics posted on the last page i think, and we're scrapping it out with Man Utd for fourth place nearing the end of November. 9 points adrift of Spurs in 3rd, so i think 4th will be the highest i will get this season. Fielded a half-strength team against Derby in the 3rd round of League Cup and lost on pens. About to have a replay with Middlesborough in the FA Cup 5th round after beating Hull and Leicester. I'll have another Championship team in the 6th round if i get through, so looks like it'll be a good cup run. Oh and won the Euro Super Cup at the start of the season, after winning the UEFA Cup last season! Havent sold any big players (Garrido for £3.2m, and Ireland for £5.5m), and bought in Hleb in January as he was out of favour at Arsenal, and he had a bargain asking price of £2.3m. Using him as backup mainly but has done well in the games he's played in. Richard Dunne is in amazing goalscoring form, 15 goals this season, all headers from corners and free kicks! My 2nd highest goalscorer! Playing a formation of 4-1-4-1, with the wingers having runs that bring them up as support strikers, my first team usually looks something like this GK: Lloris LB: Baines CB: Dunne CB: Lescott/Corluka RB: Richards DMC: Nordtveit LW: Matias Fernandez CM: Michael Johnson CM: Van Der Vaart/Elano RW: Gouffran/Elano STR: Guilherme

Score! Sorted it now, cheers! Edit: I'm tempted to sell Guilherme cos he's pissed off i'm rejecting offers for him. Inter just offered £25m for him, which i turned down. If i can get £25m for him, that'll give me £38m for a replacement. But with only playing one striker up front, do I really need one? If i sell him, my strikers would be Gouffran, Stancu, Bojinov, Caicedo and Sturridge. Any need for another one, and if so, who?

Cheers. How do i import this tactic into FM? I'm a bit thick with things like this lol! Just put the file into the Tactic folder, but it hasnt appeared on the list in the game?

That'd be great thanks. Just beat Fenerbahce 2-1 using those tactics in Man Citys first ever Champs League game (apart from qualifiers!), so it must be doing something right!

Cheers, i'll give that a try with Flamini or Nordtveit at DM, Fernandez at ML, Johnson and Elano as MC's, Gouffran as MR, and Guilherme as my lone striker.

Yeah that'd be great, cheers. I'll probably be playing Gouffran on the right wing till VDV comes back, cos Elano is playing AMC at the mo. When Elano goes back to the right wing, i'll stick Gouffran up front with Guilherme.

My signings ended up being Nordtveit from Arsenal as he turned into a quality defender during my 5 season Arsenal game, Aaritalo as a back-up left winger (amazing player considering he costs £300k! Goal and 2 assists on his debut!), and Yoann Gouffran (spelling?), dont know much about him or whether he's any good but he has quite good stats for his price. Tried to get Arshavin but couldnt get a work permit. Van Der Vaart has gone down for 2 months with a dodgy hip, so at the moment i'm playing Aaritalo left wing, Fernandez AMC, and Elano right wing, but i may change it to Fernandez left, Elano AMC, and Gouffran right to see if cmb's tactic with Fernandez works.

Cheers lads, i'll check some of these out when i get a chance.

OK, just been into town and whilst in HMV, i was tempted to buy the new Sigur Ros album but decided against it cos i've never heard a single one of their songs despite hearing from so many people online that they are amazing. I've known of them for the last 2 or 3 years and know they sing most of their songs in Icelandic and some kind of gibberish language. I wanna download some of their songs to see what its like, and if I like then i'll buy/download their new album. So come on, what does everyone think of Sigur Ros, and what tunes should I download?

I've got this on dvd, but have only watched it once i think. And i have to agree, it is one of the most confusing films ever. You really have to pay attention to each scene to work out where it fits into the whole plot. I think it took me about 3 times to watch it all the way through cos i get confused fairly easily with films, and kept on giving up on it. But if you can follow it, its an awesome film.

Yeah he isnt fantastic, was tempted to sell him cos Fernandez always seems to work wonders at AMC. If I can find a quality cheap-ish left winger, i may get rid of Van Der Vaart and stick Fernandez in at AMC.

Any recommendations for my Man City squad? Mainly looking for a striker, back-up right winger for when Elano cant play, and a central defender who can provide decent cover when Dunne and/or Lescott are out. My transfer kitty is about £31m i think. Doing well, just going into my 3rd season after a 4th place finish and winning the UEFA Cup (which thankfully convinced my 3 of my best players Lloris, Van Der Vaart, and Guilherme to stay). My starting lineup from a fully fit squad usually looks like this: GK: Lloris LB: Baines/Lescott (rotated) CB: Lescott/Corluka (rotated) CB: Dunne RB: Richards LW: Matias Fernandez MC: Michael Johnson RW: Elano AMC: Van Der Vaart FC: Stancu/Bojinov (rotated) FC: Guilherme

I went on the Saturday night, after my mate offered me 2 tickets a few days before the show. Couldnt believe my luck! Quite simply the best gig i've ever been to, and probably ever will! I really cant see anything topping this. Had pretty good seats (5th row on the upper tier). Was disappointed the stage wasnt in the middle of the pitch like I expected it to be, and I can understand the thousands of fans sitting behind the stage being pissed off, as they only had one song performed their way all night (Big Me), despite the stage being able to rotate. Yes, the setlist was a bit predictable and almost identical to the O2 show in November, but this is what was needed to get the best from the fans. The crowd was amazing, and putting too many lesser-known earlier songs would have had a bad effect on the crowd i feel, as most of them were there to rock out to their most famous songs! Few minor complaints were feeling sorry for the folks behind the stage (although thats very minor!), and at times the acoustics seemed a bit off as at times I couldnt hear any backing vocals despite being able to see Chris singing them on the screens. Also I was hoping to see My Hero being played as a proper rock song, not acoustically like at the last show I went to. Although they did do acoustic, that provided probably the 2nd best highlight of the gig with 86,000 people singing along (it sounded quality!). The best song was Best Of You, which totally blew me away with everyone singing along. And I had not heard the Led Zeppelin rumours throughout the day so i almost creamed myself when they came out and did 'Rock and Roll' (probably my favourite Led Zep song!!!) and 'Ramble On'! That was something I will never forget.

Yeah I agree. A band that just seems to come up with catchy singalong tunes every time. Their first album was brilliant and still gets played regularly! Love their new song Mistress Mable and have downloaded 2-3 songs from their new album and seems like more of the same, i'll download the rest of it when i've got the time. Where you going to see them Indiana, and how u getting it for free? I can imagine they're a really fun band to see live.

I've sorted it now. You have to give the person who doesnt like the other player (so, Van Persie for you, it was Vela for me) a warning for Unprofessional Behaviour. You should get a message in the next few days that they have patched up their differences.

Anyone know how to resolve things when one teammate dislikes another? I'm doing well as Arsenal but now Carlos Vela has come out and said he dislikes Emmanual Adebayor. These two are my first choice strikers, so i really wanna sort things out as quickly as possible before my form starts to suffer.

Is this Little Britain or Big Brother? We've got Vicky Pollard, now he comes Ting Tong the Thai bride!!! LOL!!!
