Xero Gravity

God bless Stern John.

I love Chopra, I really do.

As both a Sunderland fan and an Arsenal fan for the past 15 years, that just made my day twice over.

Anyone else had a problem (I'd assume that's what it is) where youngsters end up tutoring themselves? Three of the kids I brought into my Arsenal team, after being tutored by someone from the first team, decided they'd give it a go as well. I doubt it'll matter too much, even if it will be annoying to have to wait until I can do it again with someone else.

Spurs ...not the easiest opening day game we could have hoped for, but as long as we at least look like we have a chance of staying up this season I'll be happy.

I always loved the little bits involved in the Psycho Mantis fight from MGS1. Switching control ports, the screen going black, Mantis reading the memory card...it was awesome.

I've known about that for a few months now...needless to say, as a Bruce Campbell fanboy I'm very excited.

I wonder if Southgate knew Castromán was a schizo before he wasted over £8M on him

Well holy shit... A lot of the time I start new gamez but get bored after a few months when it all gets a little samey. So I took a break, and came back a few days ago to fire up yet another attempt with Sunderland. The first few games of the season, my form was up and down like a yo-yo and I was struggling to distance myself from the relegation zone. Thanks to the newest patch I had around £4M to spend, and brought in the odd player or two to try and strengthen the squad. It seemed to work, as from then on I slowly began to rise up the table towards the playoff spots. A twenty four game unbeaten streak saw me hit second, which was great. What wasn't great, was doing pitifully bad in both cup runs and crashing out early. While the money would have been nice, it allowed me to concentrate on the league and eventually hit the top spot...then everything went to shit. I still can't wrap my head round what happened, but I watched as a fifteen point lead evaporated despite doing everything I could to stop it. Thanks to my form tanking, the race for the title between us and West Brom ended up going to the last two games of the season. Luckily I had West Brom in the penultimate game, and beat them 4-1 meaning at least a draw would see me finish first. Going into the Coventry game, I wasn't very confident but a 4-2 win meant that despite the ups and downs I finished on top. Transfer wise, a lot of my buys were complete busts. Freddy Eastwood especially is proving to be a complete waste of money thanks to his terrible form since I bought him. Alexey Yeremenko and Dong Fangzhuo however, proved to be two worthwhile buys. As far as next season goes, I don't look to be having much to spend but I've already got Armand Traore coming in July for just under £3M. But that wasn't half as interesting as what was going on around me. By the end of the Premiership season, the three relegated teams were...Watford, Sheffield United, and coming as a huge surprise to me, Tottenham. Spurs hadn't been doing too badly up until a few games towards the end, but a few months prior had sacked Martin Jol and replaced him with Louis Van Gaal. Chelsea underperformed all season, losing to Man U in the semi finals of the Champions League and ending up 4th in the Premiership. Sam Allardyce was sacked by Bolton, then went to Leeds...who promptly got relegated from the Championship. But it's not all doom and gloom for Leeds, as for months they'd been flirting with a take over, that has finally gone through. They're rumoured to have around £35M to spend, so shouldn't be in League One for more than a season.
