I'd like to think Nunez isn't hunting to get booked but he needs to calm down a shade.

I can see more dev shops/AAA titles going down this route. I don't think it works out for them financially in the long run especially during year one of the release.

Yeah Burnley are rather shit here. That should have been a goal.

And they say banishing people isn't wholesome.

While on the subject of this game. The release date is 31st of this month. But there is no gameplay available to view. This seems a bit strange. 

I think that might be the wrong date. I heard its out next year in March.

Cant wait to hear Pep during the post match presser now haha.

If you like Mecha-based games and love the idea of having to pilot a machine and combat this might be a good game for you. I have played about 2 hrs so far and I am loving it. Didn't realize FromSoftware and Bandai co-worked this and I'm probably selling it a bit short now but this is a good game imo.

Enemies are hard, machine control isn't always the easiest and it does take some getting used to but once you get over those little problems there's a very complex game under the hood and if you're playing it on PC then turn it to max settings and watch it shine because it is also a very pretty game.

Not sure I agree with much of this. Form does matter. It was extremely rare Liverpool went to Old Trafford and got anything when United were good. I remember Houllier saying something like 'we'll win there one day' after a couple of close ones and everyone was behind the manager. That's not the case with them. The only time I can remember an out of form Liverpool team going there and getting something is 03/04 (Murphy penalty). Turn up and get an early goal, we'll twat them

This. I really doubt any amount of talk in the media about them getting battered is going to make them show up at Anfield of all places. I don't think it will be 7-0 but you get an early goal and shatter their already weak confidence and we will overrun them. 

Feel like Spurs are going to get a third goal here.

Watching a few minutes of this second half and I have to ask, how are Spurs only two goals up in this game?

Don't know what happened to him because I really liked him at Ajax and I thought with the current manager he'd find his feet again but it never really happened. I liked watching him play in that Ajax side so much I was a bit gutted we never went in for him because he was a superb box-to-box midfielder. I am sure he'll do well at Frankfurt, he just needs a different system and more playing time imo.

I'd say certain players need replacing an positions filled with better quality before ditching how for some rockstar manager, there aren't exactly good options available.

GK, LB, CB, DM and RW need improvement, GK is the lowest priority.  

To me the two aren't really exclusive to each other (player replacements + manager upgrade). Having a better manager can sometimes bring you the players you need better than having an existing one who is slowly running his course. That said, you're right, there isn't one out there right now so player replacements/position strengthening is the way to go.

Going to have to say Newcastle too. They are a few signings away from getting there. Have to ditch the manager too while they are at it.

Have Hamas leadership really fled from Qatar to Turkey? I’d have imagined they’d have gone to Iran.

I feel like it’d be easier for Mossad to get them in Turkey.

Considering the political climate surrounding it all now I think Mossad wouldn't want to start anything with them being in Turkey.

I'm not surprised the RDR games have better stories though - those games, imo, are just top tier. I doubt I'll ever play a game as good as the first Red Dead Redemption ever again, that game was so good it should have won "Best Picture" at the Oscars despite not being a film.

This was platinum tier gaming at its finest. I doubt they'll ever top that with the series ever again. It was fresh, had excellent gameplay value and to top it off it had a story that made you want to play it even more.

Round 5 is underway and I apologize but was on vacation so couldn't do this sooner. As a refresher for newcomers I am reposting the rules here. I tried to avoid Google potential questions but as we move forward it might get a bit harder. 

Please note, since this is the last round, the questions are arguably harder.

The Rules or How does this work?

For people who haven't played before the game is very simple, there will be 10 questions asked per round and they may have multiple answers. The goal is to try and answer like the rest of the players. An example is, What is a common accompaniment with eggs for breakfast? And if you and 5 other people answer "beans" then you get 6 points. If your answer doesn't match anyone else's then you get one point. The idea is to gain as many points and get to the top of the list to be the Sheepiest of the lot. 

If there is ambiguity in the question, as is sometimes the case, I will put specific instructions next to the question as I know some of these can be close in wording and I try my best to group them together.

Sheep - Season 11 - Sports - Round 5 - End Game

1. Name a sport where talking is against the rules
2. Name a sport that is generally done in under 10 minutes
3. Name a famous American football player who has also played in Germany
4. Name a country that doesn't play football
5. Name a country who has never won a gold medal
6. Name a country with the most amount of world records in the 100m freestyle event (swimming)
7. Name a sport that also uses red cards for penalties
8. Name a country that has the most gold medals in boxing overall
9. Name a club that has has a video gaming company as its sponsor
10. If the Sheep had to decide who would make the best Sumo Wrestling Coach based on contestants from this season who would it be? (Please feel free to explain why)

Notes/Rules

• For 1st timers, the rules of the game are simple. You want your answers to these questions to match with one other player or more than one other players. E.g. If your answer is "Wookie" and five other people answer the same then you get 6 points for that question. If you do not match with anyone else you're only going to get 1 point. The winner is the person who has the most points after 5 rounds.
• Please DM me all your answers and don't post them in here.
• Please feel free to ask questions for clarification purposes and I'll try and answer them as best as I can.
• Please do not try and discuss answers to questions until the round is over.
• I will accept spelling mistakes and words that follow a certain theme. If the answers have to be unique I will call them out specifically with the questions
• There is no such thing as a WRONG ANSWER. Keep in mind that you can type anything you want and if someone else provides the same answer we can all have a laugh while you'll walk away with 2 or more points.

You all have till Wednesday(Dec 20th) to get your answers to me. If they all come in sooner I'll have the results out faster as well and we can move to the next round.

Good luck.

What happened to this ?

Was on holiday just came back today. I'll post the new questions today.

Crocs are ugly as sin but run a business on your feet for the whole day and wear them, absolute fucking bliss. I detest them personally but I wouldn't begrudge anyone wearing them if they had to all day.

Godzilla Minus One : 9/10

Recommend all of you to get off your arse and see it. 

It really was. Sometimes its totally okay to go back to basics. All this partnering with out Kaiju is cute but ultimately you want a disaster movie and a big monster doing damage.

I don't get it but if they punch each other a lot ill enjoy it.

Weird that all the dust has settled from the OpenAI debacle almost two weeks ago and we still don't know why the board tried to get rid of Altman. Weirdness galore. I would have liked it if they went over the MSFT instead of staying with the current company but they would have lost a really key person in the development process so I suppose its good they stuck where they were.

Some good times have been witnessed on here. My personal recent favorite was the time Cannabis tried to organize some scammers to come meet him for drinks at a specific place during the WC in Russia. 

And the infamous "flamethrower" incident in Mafia Wars.

Or Hongkong. Oh wait, we already have that in Sleeping Dogs.

I'd actually prefer a Hong Kong setting just to get some bay side missions. 

Really good. Best Kaiju movie I have watched in a long time. Glad they took the story back to its roots instead of that skippy movie that's coming out next year. I rate this above Shin Gojira and that is also very good if you haven't watched it and like these kinds of movies.
