I came in here to mention them too. I understand some (from looking up lyrics and stuff) but nowhere near all and they're still one of the most kickass bands ever.

Danny Rose? If so, he (at least in mine) turns out good in stats like tackling, passing, crossing, dribbling and finishing (all 16+), but apart from a couple of mental attributes has otherwise averages stats across the board.

Well, my access to Gold has disappeared, so it may've only been a 3 day thing. Unfortunately I was capped for those three days

Why is it that strikers do well for every team but yours? I sold Bent and Defoe off cause they were doing ordinary, Defoe is doing super at Portsmouth (coincidence that, really) and Bent got the second best Euro player of the year at Athletico Madrid.

We have Berbatov, Keane and Bent. And really, no one is gonna permanently break up the Keane-Berbatov combo, so we should probably just go for some young striker that'd hit their prime when Keane and Berbatov are in their 30s. Bent's a good enough back-up.

Man, heartbreaking defeats are shit Firstly, as Tottenham in my first Cup final in the five years I've been there, verse Portsmouth. They've got 3 of my ex-players (Defoe, Dawson and Kusczcak) and generally have a good team. Goes to extra time at 3-3 and then it's 4-4 before they score a later winner through Defoe getting his hattrick Then as Ireland, who I've been managing since just prior to the Euro 2012 qualifiers. Got second with them in a group that included England, Greece and Albania. I was in first and undefeated, including a 2-1 win over England at Wembley, before losing my last 3 matches to finish 2nd. In the championships I get Italy, Ukraine and Wales in my group. Lose to Italy 1-0 after Stephen Hunt got sent off, beat Wales 3-2 and then drew with Ukraine 2-2, after leading 2-0 with 3 minutes to go, to get through on 'goals scored'. Then I take on Turkey in the Quarters, it's 1-1 at halftime before McGeady (probably my best all tournament) gets injured. Then Sabri does a super-fucking jinking run down the right flank and blasts the ball from the outside edge of the box to make it 2-1 :@ The supporters were still happy at least that I got that far, but I was so close to a semi's spot

Considering Anthony Minghella got a mention, it would've been written at least two weeks ago, or the writer just has no idea.

What do you reckon we need for next year? IMO, a keeper, a left back/mid and a central mid or two will do quite nicely >_>

The free kick went straight at Robbo, he moved away from it. Also, why does he insist on playing O'Hara at left back? He loves to try long balls that go nowhere and a lot of his set pieces are poorly taken too.

Robinson has to go. That effort off Geremi's free kick was just embarrassing. If it's a reflex save he's usually good with it, but give him more than two seconds to think about it and he goes to shit. We must have conceded the most of set pieces this year, especially direct free kicks.

If they cut out the camping trip they could probably fit everything into a nice two hours >_>

Jah, but now I can get into stuff that before said 'a Live restriction prohibits you from using this feature' or whatever. So I can go into the Versus mode in Army of Two and stuff.

hmm, current membership is the Silver one. Do they do this kinda stuff when they do updates and take the service down? Cos I just got a message saying they're doing an update on the first of April. Though this wouldn't make sense either cos they're just taking it down for 3 hours >_>

Which part? Also, still no idea how I ended up with the free Live =/

Nah, had this account since December-ish. Although I didn't get any free Live with it because I made it online for some reason, rather than through the XBox. I'm guessing Dawson as he added me as a friend yesterday, so he might've had a free week with him and decided to give it to me. Which he timed horribly cos I'm capped at the moment >_> Or Kaney.

Who gave me free Live Gold? And how long does it last for?

Woah. I just read a theory that the people shooting at Karl and the Rousseau's were the mercs on the boat, not the Others as I first presumed. The helicopter had gone when Regina jumped off the boat, so it's definitely possible they got there. If so, it's gonna become freaking epic.

Gamertag is ZazDownie. Won't be getting Live Gold til GTA IV comes out though.

I thought you gave up after the first four episodes of Season One?

The red head was where it's at.

KEANE! What a strike! We NEED a new keeper though Edit: Oh drat you, Berbatov

Same old Chelsea... If Keane was yellow'd for dissent, shouldn't have Cole received a yellow for the tackle AND one for dissent? He went way over the top whilst Keane just said a few words (though I guess it does depend on what Keane said).

Fucking Zokora. I'm versing West Ham in the Quarters of the UEFA Cup. I won the home leg comfortably 2-0 but in the week gap King and Kaboul both got injured so I had to use Lorik Cana as a central defender which made me bring in Zokora to play the more defensive midfield role. With three minutes to go they're up 1-0 before Zokora passes the ball straight to Ashton who goes and scores, and then in injury time he fouls someone in the box to give them the winning penalty :@ Edit: In better news, Bale just got Young Player of the Year (meaning he's like the first person ever to get it three years in a row ) with Saivet getting second and Taarabt third. Huzzah!

Under the rules, it's not a penalty, though I reckon it should be. If the player can't move or offload you shouldn't be allowed to bring a third man into the tackle like that as it just increases the risk of injury, especially if it's into the back. Souths were well and truly outplayed though, but the best team on the night was easily the Titans, who surprised me at how well they played against the Cowboys. Also knew they had it in the forwards (with both Bailey and Laffranchi who do awesome week in, week out at club level) but quite a few of their backs (apart from the likes of Rogers, Campbell, Prince) were no-names who performed brilliantly.

Man, I had this horrible feeling all episode that Jin was gonna die, as I could tell that his were actually flashbacks and not flashforwards. Except I thought we were gonna actually see it happen this episode, especially with Bernard going on about karma and stuff However, his date of death on the tombstone did say 22/9, which was when the plane crashed, no? So Jin could have just been one of the people who got left behind because, if say, one of the people on the boat saw him die* or if they actually brought his body back, the date of death would be just before they left the island. *On that point, if any of the four who parachuted onto the island also head back to civilisation, they'd also have to go along with the whole '6 people survived thing' even though they know there's a lot more. Dammit, I'm confused
