Their ties to DoD sums it all up really. They used to be the gold standard for safety not just in the aviation industry but across manufacturing as well. Then they merged with McDonnell and it all went south from there. They can still fix this but the I am surprised the FAA hasn't grounded more of their aircrafts to make the message more clear. The worst part of it all is that they also have a history of some of the worst aviation disasters we've ever seen as well.

This makes me wonder who the bond girl and the villain are this time around.

I wouldn't say never haha. I've had some that works with a salty ham but its not for everyone, discourse on the topic has taught me as much.

I see we have the new Pineapple on Pizza thread.

I've never much jumped on the bandwagon of 30/60. What truly makes a difference is 120+ and we're nowhere close to that on consoles at this point in time. Having said that, both games are going to be very good.

RCB Women have won the WPL and getting a title before the men. Ellyse Perry is some player. P.S. Some partying going on in the city tonight haha. Fireworks as well, I guess 16yrs of not winning it with the mens team has had people stock up on them.

They hesitated and the pass just came too late but oh well it was going to end this way considering they gave the ball away way too much today.

We lost this game way before those goals went in during ET with the subs and the way the players just lazily moved the ball around and didn't run to cover. Rashford missed a chance, McTominay missed a chance and all we had to show for that entire ET was a goal from Harvey and nothing else remotely threatening.

When you consider your last point about them flying to other countries to referee matches and the fact that they are being paid by those associations for their work coupled with the fact that they have zero accountability other than "sorry" it's not really a far stretch to assume that some if not many matches are subject to being paid off for outcomes. Our match certainly gets most of the highlights considering the fact that there is a country who has a history of infractions in football and will do anything to generate revenue by any means possible. Am I saying it is an absolute fact? No, and my post may come off that way and if it does it's not my intention but to think that there isn't a financial operating factor in referee decision making now that you really have zero visibility into what the man in the box is doing or how those decisions are being made you certainly can't rule out that they have bias - external influenced or just plain incompetence, I lean towards influence because no one can be that stupid/incompetent. Wherever there is large scores of money you can 100% assume there is a level of cheating going on that isn't blatantly obvious and will never present itself unless you see a pattern whether its teams cheating, or the managing system being corrupted. To fix this the league and the FA have to really just find a way to introduce penalties post review to ANY game that is deemed to have the ambiguity associated with decisions. But we both know that is never going to happen because the last thing they'll do is call one of their own incompetent and it opens a can of worms no one wants to deal with so you get refs getting away with whatever decision they make because no one can challenge them. If I was a corrupt business wanting to gain leverage that looks rather ripe an opportunity. P.S. Apologies for the late reply but the last two days have been busy.

I think most of KT's releases eventually find their way onto PC. I don't know if all the NiOhs made their way there but if this is anything like that (which I think it is) then its going to be lots of fun. Trying not to do too much reading on it and just get into the game.

Comes out on the 22nd and I can't wait. Koei Tecmo are back at it again.

Mac could have shown the marks made by the studs and they'd still say no foul. They panicked when they realized their bank accounts would start seeing a lack of incoming funds if they had made the right call. There's no other reason why they shouldn't be calling that a foul and awarding a subsequent penalty. We had Curtis get a red for something else which was incidental post contact with the ball first so they can't even use the excuse that Doku gets to the ball first.

When Foden's ball came off the post I thought surely they cant be this lucky.

I think the only reason is probably where the boot is when it comes down but even so its high.

Shame we didn't get the win here because the second half was a total blitz.

Easy street for Mac.

Yeah ... Ederson

Smart goal by Stones there.

Bradley isn't fucking around today and I'd expect nothing less.

For all the money Pep and City have splashed that keeper position has always seemed a little short but thats just me.

I wouldn't worry too much about Madrid even though they are strong. With the attacking players you'll have there is a high chance you can upset them.

You'll have returning players and its certainly going to help. However, you have to also take into account that once Lazio got undone, they really didn't change or try anything tactically different except just being direct and when that failed, they kept on repeating the same thing over and over again. It's a bit weird because you'd imagine being 2 goals down, you'd kick into gear and at least push harder but they just couldn't. I don't remember you'll being bothered too much in the game either. It really could have been a much higher score but once the third goal went in Bayern didn't care too much and tried to play it all around Lazio instead of at the goal.
