What amazes me about this rendition is the fact that the guitar is closer to the mic but Ben's voice comes out on the sound engineering just as clear and sometimes louder than the guitar. This is also better than the studio ver imo.

Tina Weymouth is a bass genius imo but what David Byrne brings to the table is incredibly raw energy. The guy makes the whole band dance and play through this.

I get where someone from the board would see this as managers being changed but nothing translating directly on the pitch but they have to shoulder a lot of the blame for how things have unfolded. Then to go out and make a statement against the players? What did they think was going to happen. This is also a player who has a recent history of making comments to the public as well. Poorly handled by Barcelona in general. I don't think he'll leave but his contract is up in 2021 so anything is possible.

I havent heard of any African quarantine provisions yet on air travel so I am wondering when we'll see it touch there. Although I still think it will be South Africa vs Northern Africa.

If you look at that map and use a bit of inference it seems like the spread of the virus has propagated faster through air travel than a country being the actual neighbor of China. Why do I say this? See that little color marker in the middle of the Arabian Penisula? The only way its getting there is through air-travel. I am also thinking that while the two countries in North America seem to look worse than they are because of the color markers (its a country marker not a city marker) that we're not going to see Africa get severely affected by this in the northern regions but more in the south. I think this also highlights another important point which is how air-travel works during festival season and maybe how WHO and other health organizations can use it to back-track and find out possibilities of outbreaks before they happen. Do we know if Mexico has seen any cases yet? https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/3/21120643/uber-coronavirus-mexico-accounts-suspension Seems like its possible but this is a tech website so I am not putting too much stock in what they say.

Agreed its a cascading effect. Pep has no one to fill that CB position so now Fernandinho plays there but really he should be playing at the top of the defense doing all the 'tactical' fouling he can to disrupt play. Instead, hes now forced to be the one who has to do the same thing in front of the goalkeeper and its not really half as effective. Plus, if we did win the CL I think i'd go out and get drunk again and oh by winning the CL you mean Liverpool right

City's problems aren't in their attack but in what sits at the base of that midfield for me. Rodrigo is not a better DM than Fernandinho and that little change has caused so much havoc with their ability to stop attacks before they even reach the defense. Having said that, they are already in a cup final, the knockout stages of the Champions League and are sitting second in the league (albeit its a very very distant second). IMO they can and should beat Real Madrid because they are the better team and they have the home game in the second leg as well. But, this is the Champions League and anything is possible because we've seen time and time again how teams just find an extra bit of motivation once you get to the knockout stages.

I think we're going to see these numbers decrease drastically in two weeks from now. It's shocking how fast this thing has spread and I am even wondering if some of these countries are reporting the right numbers. China is going to take some time to recover from this.

Yeah have to agree with everything you've said. He doesn't just add solidity in the center of the defense but is commanding, gets on your back when you're slacking and doesn't look like hes phased when someone tries to get the better of him (quite the opposite ends up happening most times haha). I love the guy to bits and I think his partnership with Joe is the better one that his with Matip. You've got speed coupled with confidence in that pairing and it absolutely shuts down a lot of attacks very fast.

Ah zonal marking and its wondrous perils. I remember TV pundits always bringing it up as a weakness we had when defending corners.

Not to take away from Petrucci but what Dave LaRue is doing in the background is just as ridiculously good.

http://slither.io/ Just wasted an hour on this and I can see many boring hour meetings where I can spend time playing.

That's not right no matter how much you hate the man for what he's doing to your club you don't try and set fire to his house and sing those songs.

They do some other covers too but this one stuck out the most to me.

Good to see him back training and it looks like hes able to play with the foot that was broken too? I will say I have seen some bad injuries putting players out for a year and this is incredible.

From an angry guy to a guy who did Ukulele music and then to this. How time has flown for Eddie.

Microsoft opinion on what EA does is inversely proportional to the amount of money Disney and EA put on the table.

Of course not but it doesn't hurt to ask for 200m. After all, there are clubs like PSG who would jump at the opportunity to add someone like him to their roster just because of what he brings to the table. Even if they decide they want to negotiate and we come down to 120 - 150 (still a joke to me) we'd be recuperating all the money from the transfers that funded his arrival at the club plus a profit change which is what would then fund the hunt for future prospects too.

A defender who in the last few seasons has taken a team struggling to keep goals out to two CL finals and now on the cusp of a PL title going unbeaten along the way? If you ask me, teams should be glad its only 200m and not more. If they don't want to pay thats okay too, we can keep him and win more. But I think anything under 150m is a steal and ultimately depends on the contract hes under as well. How much did Maguire go for? And you're also looking at a lot of teams in Europe who will want to solidify their backline with the option to now get a player who can do that and can do it while playing the ball. Yeah, 200m is a joke price in all honesty. He's 28 and you'll get another 3 - 5 yrs out of him as well. Can't see why he'd want to leave but then again its what he wants and the club should recuperate on anything spent on him even if it did come from another dealing. Barcelona should pick this up while its hot and I'd imagine Real Madrid could do it too. We could also all be surprised when he says he doesnt want to leave at the end of it all.

If we get 200+ million for him sure go wherever you want. I think its silly to think he'd want to stay with the club for a long period and in would be even more sillier to think that other clubs wouldn't try and go for him.

As @nudge mentions EA did a really good job with Fallen Order and putting aside the light saber SNAFU for pre-orders the whole thing went rather smooth. I'd give them another chance here but we'll have to see what they put out.
