Very good idea this. I'm in.

Well, that's shit. Proves how little I play / know about this game!

So, I've just had an absolutely mental game on here. After this, and a 2-0 second round victory over Burnley, I'm really tempted to get this game up in the cube now!

I know, right? I was reading what Matt Gilks was saying about how he 'fears for the club'. I honestly haven't got a clue what's going on with them, but it does need to be sorted. Apparently, their manager is already talking about quitting because of "transfer frustration." It's really bad times for them. Shame to see, when it was just 4 years ago they were doing so well.

Have just started a new career with Torquay. Watching them go down saddened me a little in real life, so I wanted to start up something with them here. I'm taking it step by step - with my intention in the first season being promotion. Haven't played this game a lot since buying it, so could use a bit of assistance in signing a couple of cheap players? After setting both league and cup bonuses to low, I've got around 100k to spend. I'm looking for a good centre back. Also, am having a tough time choosing between Sean Marks and Dan Holman as my lead striker. Any help?

Agreed. He isn't a terrible keeper, but is certainly prone to making costly mistakes. Hopefully we bring somebody else in as first choice rather than Taylor.

Cellino is absolutely mental. I'm happy he's sorting out the club's finances but the dude is fucking crazy!

Don't forget this guy, taking the Australian A-League by storm!! :

What a goal that was!

Gladiator - An absolute classic. Nothing to say really. A very powerful film indeed. The Shining - Being a massive fan of 'horror films' it was difficult to choose a favourite. It was hard to decide between this, Halloween II and Hannibal. All are very good, but Jack Nicholson's performance in this was incredible. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - As far as martial arts type movies go, if it hasn't got Bruce Lee in, I'll rarely give it a go. Chow Yun, who is a brilliant actor, was great in this. It's one of the few films I could happily watch over and over. Terminator 2: Judgement Day - Many people seem to have this on their lists, and it's easy to see why. A brilliant film. It's a shame the sequels to this didn't live up to expectations. The Shawshank Redemption - I'm actually quite surprised this hasn't appeared more in this thread. It was brilliant. Albeit for Mystic River, this was Tim Robbins' best work in my honest opinion. The Godfather: Part 2 - I don't feel I need to say much about this. Along with the first, this remains one of the best films ever made. Many people may argue that the first was better, but regardless of that, they're both fantastic films. Schindler's List - Another classic. I needn't say anything about how powerful this film was. The Last Samurai - I personally despise of Tom Cruise. I believe he is a good actor, but incredibly overrated. However, his performance in this film was great. The film itself remains on of the best I've seen. The Green Mile - Again, another classic. I needn't say anything about this. Scarface - Finally, yet another classic. Again, I needn't say anything. This is one of the best films of all time, without question.

So, I've just finished reading the final Sharpe book. I'm looking for something new, which is somewhat similar to that of Sharpe. Any suggestions?

Have one of them myself. Am happy to give it away if anybody wants it.

Big win for Leeds today. All but ensured are championship status for another season (not that it was in any real doubt, mind.) Hopefully, we get a good run of results out of our next few games to set us up nicely for next season. Was nice to see Murphy grab a couple of goals, too.

This Madrid / Barca game has been cracking so far! Athletico pose a real threat to any team if they reach the semi s.

Put £10 on a United win tonight. 9/1 on Stan James so thought it was worth a shout. The extra £15 on Fellaini to score first will see a £600 profit, though. If Moyes can dream, so can I!
