Thank you.

Do we have one for Tiara James? I don't know if she's been known as somebody else, I just remember seeing her in MLW recently.

Wonderful, thank you my friend.

I don't think this is the right place for it, so please direct me otherwise but I'm looking to split WWE & AEW in the latest EWR data into different promotions to avoid that early data exodus of talent.

Could I get the current Raw, Smackdown, NXT, Rampage, Collision and Dynamite logos on the usual EWR logo background? I did a search but couldn't find anything.

Thank you

What's happened is Rocky Romero has been removed from the NJPWoA roster and was still down as a Large Event Announcer. If you restore Rocky to NJPWoA, it should be fine.

For the next one, if @conker8 can sort that, it shouldn't be an issue in the December update.

Along with Bayley's super fan Izzy, who has just started wrestling.

Small thing, feel a bit of a knob for posting, Jeanie Buss (WOW Owner) is down as a Male.

I too caved in and bought my copy, although I can't palm that off on anybody else. I'm purely a Career Mode guy these days, the intrigue of putting FIFA-me into the AFC Richmond team proved too much.

Thankfully I get a free copy with being an assistant researcher but that's not a bad deal. Interested as always to see the new features this year. I was trying for one beta save and one main game save this time, started a Word document back at the turn of the year to remind me when FM23 comes out... it's changed 17 times so far 😂

I don't think I watch enough TV to get me through to fifteen but I'll certainly give it a go.

1. Taskmaster (UK)
2. You
3. Drive To Survive
4. Great Pottery Throwdown
5. Line of Duty
6. Baptiste
7. Staged
8. Deceit
9. The Cleaner
10. The Outlaws
11. Clarkson's Farm
12. The Chase
13. Great British Bake Off
14. Time
15. Death in Paradise

Best new character... Greg from the Outlaws? I'm struggling there.

Not sure if it's just me, maybe worth a check: Impact has no second announcer. The wrestler box is ticked but D'Lo not selected. CMLL Tag Team titles have Mistico and vacant as his partner.

This may paint me in a poor light but I had absolutely no idea who Mike Wozniak was until this series. I've since began watching Man Down from the start, I'd been told to watch it for years but it's been one of those on my Netflix list I never got round to.

I've only just seen this thread, Justified is my all-time favourite TV show. I had been obsessed with Lost for six years, Justified came just after with plenty of crossover actors and actresses. Just when I was at a low ebb (we all remember the last season of Lost and how it ended), Justified came along to save me. 

The Harlan Roulette scene with Duffy and Raylan is some exceptional TV, as is the Colton/Tim standoff.

Did anybody else notice the points for Sarah (I think that's her name) being neutered somewhat with the prize task? Her guitar was the best prize of the bunch but picked up just a couple of points. Greg going a bit early this time to pull everybody together in the season standings.

If I was doing it again, I would have created them in the Vanarama North at the very start and cut out anything previous. We do tend to score a bucket load of goals but also concede them, I think in one season I counted something like five clean sheets in the whole league season. Already in the new campaign we've had a 5 - 5 draw.

While I wouldn't say I've done a lot of squadbuilding as I've kept the majority of the players from the very beginning up to this past summer when we got promotion to VNN, I think staffbuilding (if that is a thing) has been massive. I gutted my entire staff before this season, hired people who answered the adverts, and easily have the best staff in the league and even then I didn't think they were that brilliant.

Having started with the squad that was already there for the Level 10 side my created club replaced (Atherton LR), I've only ever signed players who either come up on the scouting report or we've played against. Never touched the player search screen. My top players are from L10 sides the Holker Old Boys and AFC Blackpool.

Unbeaten start to the Vanarama North season thus far.

Mike Wozniak is going to be the standout of this series, thought he was excellent and I've never seen anything of him before to my knowledge. Everybody had their moments, apart from Sarah Kendall, I thought. Can't warm up to her. Can see Jamali becoming a favourite as the series goes on. Really good start.

So far, my experience of Football Manager 2021 is that it is the easiest game I have ever played. Having started with a created club in Level 10, we have now secured Vanarama North/South for next season in just four years. That's a promotion every season and along the way we've won every trophy on offer (bar the FA Cup); Counties Cup, Velocity Trophy, FA Vase and FA Trophy.

No cheating involved, we play a simple counter-attacking 4-4-2 and I've only ever signed players who either we've played against or came up on the scouting report. We haven't lost a league game in three seasons. Our top scorer has been Connor Comber, previously a Bolton youth and in the game with Atherton LR (the club we took the position of in the league). Up until promotion was secured to the Vanarama N/S, we've not been able to pay players a wage, just bonuses and that means they're out-of-contract ie. eligible to be snapped up by all and sundry. Finally this season I've got the defence better organised with some free transfers such as Ben Tozer, Josh Langley and Mark Kitching. The decision now is whether to convert them to proper contracts going forward.

Also unsure of why a club in Lancashire has been put in the southern leagues but there you go, that's FM for you. I did enjoy beating the likes of Truro and Poole even if the travel was a bloody nightmare.

I'm hoping that the transition to the Vanarama leagues brings with it more challenges!

Going to be a good couple of weeks for shows returning as not only do we have Taskmaster but Stand Up 2 Cancer bake off is back on with some really good comedians and personalities. I've seen John Bishop, David Baddiel, Dizzee-Rascal, KSI, Kelly Holmes, Tom Allen, James McAvoy, Katherine Ryan, Daisy Ridley (good fun on My Dad Wrote A...) and Rob Beckett all listed. The one I'm looking forward to is Reece Shearsmith, who would just be exceptional on Taskmaster.

Looking forward to the new season. I write for a website that pick an MLS team at the start of the season and follow them through the year with match reports and keeping on top of news. Last year we hit the jackpot with Columbus Crew (previously NYRB and DC United) so we've soon got the chat to come about which team it'll be in 2021. I quite like the idea of sticking with the Crew given their recruitment in recent weeks.

Just finished all ten episodes of the NZ version, which are on YouTube. The irony is that I found it much like the UK version, there are some on it I like and others I couldn't care less about. Lee Hart was the star for me, found him to be the hilarious one despite him being quite understated. Good actual Taskmaster, not entirely sold on the NZ Alex Horne but he's not far off. Last few episodes, the quality of the tasks really picked up. Enjoyed the 'leaves' task.

Has anybody watched the NZ version of Taskmaster? It popped up on my YouTube suggestions. At first glance I thought the Taskmaster was Matt Parkinson from the Aussie Chase (who would make an excellent Taskmaster) but it seems not.

What's baffling me the most is Greg's scoring, I don't think I've disagreed with him as much in any other series and he never seems to have much of an explanation for his out-of-left field scores.

100% this.

I LOVE Taskmaster. If ever I need something to be on in the background while working from home or while having dinner, that's my go-to. There are very few bad shows, except possibly the series with Iain Sterling on but even that had Paul Sinha and whatsherface from Car Share... swings and roundabouts.

I get the impression that the tasks are chosen to be aired in a specific order and they're much more aware of the scoring now compared to previous series. I think they were bitten in the Liza Tarbuck series when she entered the last episode so far in front that realistically nobody could catch her and she ended up given one point for the prize task seemingly for no reason as an attempt at a balance.

I'm assuming Sainz will get the Ferrari seat, Danny Ric moves to McLaren (as he probably regrets not doing last year) and if I were Renault, I'd be looking at bringing the Hulk back. Safe pair of hands, won't rock the boat, all that experience. I'm still surprised that Haas didn't go for him instead of Grosjean, even if he does have issues with Magnussen, I'd have looked for a change.

Following DTS, Haas are my favourite team - I've previously gravitated towards drivers rather than teams.

I'm using a 4-3-3 very similar to stokeriño but I tend to alternate for away games to switch one of the central midfielders to a defensive mid (Segundo Volante and the role that works well with that, I can't remember which one off hand), just to give us a little bit more stability that has previously been sorely lacking. As the years have gone on I've increasingly found that tactics are best used 'horses for courses'. If you want to play three at the back but haven't got the wing-backs for it then you end up getting gubbed down the flanks. You used to get away with forcing players into unfamiliar positions but now the ME is quite unforgiving in that regard. I suppose it's more realistic that managers do have to adapt when arriving at a new club.

Melbourne Victory did make the top six, we've just won our Elimination Final on penalties and now I think we're scheduled to take on rivals Sydney FC in the semi-final but I'm awaiting confirmation.
