My god...why am I watching this? I despise nearly all reality TV, but I'm watching this. I blame Michael Barrymore because I use to think he was brilliant, so I'm watching to see what happens with him.

At this moment in time, Wenger needs to go out and buy an established player who is pretty much the finished article. Defender, midfielder, striker or goalkeeper, anywhere, any player but a finished article for once. Lehmann was just past his best, and he's probably the closest we've come to signing a player at the top of his game when we bought him (in recent years), and that's a little bit of a worry.

There are players out there and we have money for one or two of them. It'd be nice and rare to see Wenger bring in a player that's at his very best when he arrives, and we don't have to wait a while to see his very best

I'm just interested in knowing what's happened to Ryan Garry. One minute he and Hoyte are being talked about in Arsenal as great players for the future, and then Garry seems to have vanished off the face of the planet. I know he's been injured for what seems like forever, but I dunno if he's still injured...is he?

Oh, and on a somewhat related note I take back all the defence of Jeremie Aliadiere, as he is rubbish.

NEXT YEAR'S MOST WANTED:

X-Men 3

BEST DVD PACKAGE:

Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge of the Sith

The save game editor...I think.

Good lord we were awful. Bar Almunia and Eboue, we were played off the park for the majority of the first 90 minutes. Doncaster should be through, but their not, so I'm happy.

I was going to say something about Ben Affleck in Daredevil, because other than his performance, I enjoyed the film. But I watched the Directors Cut the other day and I swear the extra 30 minutes seem to make Ben Affleck improve as an actor ten-fold! The film got so SO much better thanks to the extra scenes.

The created titles don't actually ever stay with one guy do they? You can put them on the line with any wrestlers can't you?

Little Britain has never been funny to me. I've seen a couple of episodes and never laughed once. Well, I laughed at the fat bald guy simply because he's an ugly bastard.

It gets reversed a lot. I find that with most rear finishers.

Sweeeeet

Just found RVDs personal running chair move.

Ah, I thought you mean you didn't have enough time.

But yeah, RVD's running chair move is cool. Apparently he's still got the move from earlier games where he does a sort of plancha leg drop thing. When you're both outside, get close to the ring and whip him into it so his head is still sticking out a bit, and grab him. Normally it just does an elbow smash, but with RVD he does the legdrop. Taker does one too, but I haven't checked if it's in this game.

In relation to RVD, has anyone noticed that on this game he climbs to the top rope instead of "leaping"? Ever since the first game he was on, he always does his real life leap to the top rope, and now he doesn't have it, but Rey Mysterio does. Grrr.

Hah. You can only do that move if you have 9.5 I think it was, in Speed. Since you can't change real wrestlers stats you're stuck being unable to do the move with RVD that they made especially for RVD.

That's almost as bad as Rey Mysterio's stance being "Tajiri" when he has his very own stance in the game...

i think they axed some of the concerts that would take place right now becaus his mother passed away last weekend.

Not the ones in England . I checked FozzyRock.com before I ordered, and those are still listed while the US ones are listed as cancelled.

I booked my ticket like eight seconds after I got the email from stargreen telling me they were performing. I'll be there.

This will be my third fozzy gig. Anyone know if they're doing the DJ thing again?

DJ thing? What DJ thing? Explain said DJ thing and is it any good?

Anyone going to see Fozzy at the Mean Fiddler on February 4th? I just booked my tickets.

Haven't seen Fozzy live before, and haven't actually been to see anyone live for over a year now, so I'm pretty excited. Although, when the tickets to arrive, then much excitedness.

PC - Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force - A great game, but Elite Force 2 is far superior in all areas except voiceovers. EFI has the whole of the Voyager cast whilst EFII has Patrick Stewart, Tim Russ and...that's it I think. It's a great game for both Trek fans as well as non-fans.

PC - Star Trek: Armada - Really fun game in the mould of Command & Conquer and Starcraft.

PC - Star Trek: Away Team - It's ok, but the only reason I'm actually playing it is because it's a Trek game and I got it for about £5.

PS2 - SmackDown! vs. RAW 06 - Don't think I need to say anything that hasn't already been said.

PS2 - X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse - Just completed it, and it's really addictive. I never actually completed Legends I, so I'm gonna go back and play that soon.

PS2 - Pro Evolution Soccer 5 - Awesome. Nuff said.

Haven't played for a while, and now I've found myself wanting to start playing it again, but I keep telling myself not to bother until the new patch comes out, but that could be ages now.

I just watched the trailer and to me it seems like Cyclopes is the one who dies during the film.

God if that's true that sucks beyond reason. The Phoenix Saga won't have the same feeling without Cyclops. Why-oh-why could they not just have recast James Marsden?

Sky One and Sky Sports News. Sky Sports News is pretty much always on in the background whatever I'm doing, and then Sky One has Stargate Atlantis and SG-1, Buffy, Star Trek and a tonne of good shows, so yeah, those are the main ones.

Dunno about you guys, but Beast looks awesome to me. Angel looks good, but something about the wings looks a bit iffy to me. And why did I never hear about Halle Berry agreeing to return?

You should have, it was actually in her contract that he be written a bigger part or else she wouldn't come back. As if she's a big enough star to deserve that but whatever. I can't agree with Zero on this one as I dislike every movie Ratner has ever done and think he single handedly ruined Red Dragon.

He directed Red Dragon? Wow, I actually liked that...

EDIT: Ok, upon looking at what else he's directed, I see Rush Hour and Rush Hour 2...that's hardly a great resume in directing is it? Oh well, I've had low hopes for this film since Bryan Singer walked out of it, so oh well.

I've just found out that you can do title vs. title matches!

I did a match with the Impact Players vs. Team 3D for the SmackDown Tag Team titles and won, and now I'm doing a match for the World Tag Team titles with the Impact Players vs. La Resistance, and it asked if I wanted to put the WWE Tag Team titles on the line as well. This is news to me.

Well, the computer I ran it on was pretty crappy, and it ran perfectly. No crashing, no bugs, nothing of the sort, never had a problem with it. Only time it ever crashed was after I had played it for about 5 or 6 hours straight, which ya know, is never a good idea in the first place.

KOTORII I had a few problems with, but nothing dire.

Similarly how do you get the teamwork attribute to go up? Just done a season as one half of the team where even though I did actually team with my partner it still wouldn't let me do anything *grumbles*

So wait...you get tag team storylines in season mode? Is that what you're saying?

I had a cAW who I set up in a stable with Eugene then there was a storyline which required me to team with him. Was most likely just coincidence!

Oh that one...yeah it's a coincidence then because I had the same (I guess it was the same anyway) storyline when I was Batista.

Did I ask already, if so apologies, but are MNM in the game?

Nope. But they are in the opening SmackDown video...just like the Mexicools, but that's neither here nor there. (Y)

Also, I swear that you can get tag team attributes to go up by doing tag team matches. I'm sure I did, although I might just be insane.
