When he signed for Liverpool I can’t recall ever wanting a player to succeed so badly.  Reading his personal story and the difficulties he had growing up, I wanted to see him find that cult following at Anfield that would’ve hopefully given him some peace of mind.  

Watching this Sunday it just came off as wrong. First, you had a heel female character who is in no ways over, step into the ring and throw around. And nobody really seemed to care. Then, multiple men took turns beating the crap out of her while an arena full of men cheered it on. It just felt off on so many levels.

Unless Real do something stupid, I’m not sure where he goes next.  Porto aside (where they were the biggest fish in a smaller pond) all his jobs have come with clubs that have considerable resources to buy established high end players.  It sounds cliche but when was the last time Mourniho actually coached?

You know what, you’re right.  My bad.  He does drift onto the left wing but thinking back to some of his highlights, it is more coming off the right wing onto his left foot.  Robbo is a better defender, but that will blunt some of Liverpool’s foward moment.  

I like him in the midfield too, but I think you’re selling Gini short this season. He has done a lot of dirty work and looks great doing it. In the set up they played against United, he and Fabinho allowed for Keita to show his dynamism.  That’s our best midfield right there. 

First lets have this discussion at the end of January after Liverpool have played a resurging Newcastle, Wolves, Arsenal, City (in Manchester) and West Ham. Plenty of banana skins and Dejan Lovren. I’m convinced that perhaps with the exception of Liverpool at home, City won’t lose/drop points again. Regarding Shaq. I…

I know a lot of my supporter pals are happy with a Bayern draw as they appear to be in a bit of a transition.  That being said, 2 months is a long time in football so who knows where Bayern will be at that point.  What genuinely concerns me is that Bayern may be able to exploit some weakness in Trent Alexander Arnold…

When we bought the 2018 model we were in the showroom ready to do the hatchback model based on photos and the borchure, but something gnawed at me (not including the $1,000 C$ premium over the Sedan).  When you get up to the top tier 2.5L model, the sedan just has this look that made the choice that much easier.  The…

I think the flip side of this is that if Sony did not include anything with a console that is supposed to go online they’d be criticized.  At least this way Sony can keep the cost of the hardware down and the end user can make a decision on what they want.

The microtransaction discussion is boring. Provided a game ensures that you can access it and the content without having to pay more than the advertised up front cost, then I’m fine with it. Let the market place decide if a developer has gone too far with their transactions. Considering the cost to make most AAA games…

Spot on.  There is a legitimate debate to be had that FIFA is allowing other modes to go stale while focusing on FUT, but to their credit, you can get hundreds of hours out of multiple modes without spending a dollar in FUT. 

In 2017 I ended up buying both games.  It had me wanting all the FIFA bells and whistles with the core PES gameplay.  The moment to moment experiences in PES were betrayed by a weaker overall package while the FIFA’s gameplay issues were laid bare.  The 2019 FIFA game is damn close to that PES experience I enjoyed a…

I just want to say the death of Aunt May hit me hard.  Credit needs to go to the voice acting and animators that actually made me give a crap about the characters.  Peter Parker was note perfect.

Rockstar are geniuses. Their PR game is on point. Some trailers 6 months out, some game play 3-4 months out, a big preview push a month or so out rinse and repeat. What’s funny is, and this is in no way a knock on Stephen, I’ll go to another site and a lot of similar interactions will show up in their previews.

This is in no way an attempt to say that the frustration of those who enjoyed the original show are wrong but rather just another side of the coin. My 6 year old daughter tries to connect with me. Jebus love her she has done her best to love my geeky pursuits but she’d rather sing along to Taylor Swift and watch…

Karin Percy, Brian Orser (the OTHER Brian) and Elizabeth Manley. They all medalled in Calgary in 1988, the only Winter Olympics where the hosts did not win a gold medal in a non-demonstration sport. (I believe too, Montreal in 76 might be the only Summer Olympics where that happened as well.

Deulofeu basically plays the game the way I do in FIFA. He gets the ball and it’s an R2 sprint into a blind corner or if the defender overcommits it’s R2 sprint into and L2 back in reverse and a back pass. Ultimately all my attackers need to be subbed by half time.

Sorry Billy, I don’t agree with you here.

Lets get out of the way that he was wrong...blah blah blah. I’m angry for him watching this. I can’t promise what I’d do if it was my daughter.

This feels like the original dot com bubble. There are going to be people who get rich on this but a lot of people are going to lose their shirts because they don’t completely understand the forces that are aligned against them.
