Having experienced first-hand the way the IPL started out I have to say that it was in response to what the ISL was doing and it was also done to generate some serious money as well which I suppose goes along with the destruction of any sport not just cricket. It did die down a bit somewhere towards its third iteration but then it picked up again and got really good. I wouldn't say it destroyed the game more-so moved it in a different direction that people were used to seeing. T-20 is a far easier event to watch just because of its explosiveness and the way teams approach games. Does that have an effect on the other styles of cricket? Yes. Does that necessarily mean its destroyed the game itself? That's really up for interpretation. Having more facets to a sport could dilute the others based on its popularity but that doesn't meant an ODI or a test-cricket match is suddenly going to get worse does it?

Could I ask what exactly has been destroyed by the favourites? Genuine question not a windup of any kind.

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/transfers/verein/31 We've offloaded a lot so maybe the club is indeed waiting for the international comps to end to finish their transfer business. There has also been a lot of speculation about high profile players but I read somewhere that Klopp wants a player who can bring in a lot of goals next season so who knows what they are up to.

I think thats the most ideal platform for it honestly. Its a great platformer and has some world RPG elements so a mobile device makes a lot of sense.

What platform are you playing it on?

Think they linked it to the second offense and said it was consistent behaviour which is why they were able to do it.

If Origi comes good on his form like that run he had before getting injured the club have done some really good business. Even if he doesn't the guy shows up when hes most needed and you can't discount that at all.

Man in the house next door is shouting explicits in Hindi. Gotta love a meltdown.

Yeah he will. He recovered well and was actually almost match fit towards the end of the season so there's nothing to suggest he won't be starting this season. I liked him when he was playing as well. Very direct and offered a lot of pace in the midfield as well. I think he will also get a bit more game-time while Naby recovers from his injury as well. Reports are stating that Klopp is hoping Naby is fit for the opening against Norwich but I can't see that happening.

Not even joking when I say this. He'd win them a World Cup and have them playing some exciting football as well. Can't see him taking it so soon though think he still has one more feat to accomplish which is winning the league with us.

Gave the new album a listen and think its a much mellower Gilbert but the band accompaniment is superb.

Terribly tempted to get the new Wolfenstein game but I am past the halfway mark in the new Metro game so I'll finish that first and get it. Haven't heard too many nice things about it but I like the previous iteration a lot so ill give it a try.

Sorry missed this one completely. I'd go with Turtlebeach in that price range https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-compatible-controller-Playstation-4/dp/B00YXO5UKY/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=ps4%2Bheadset&qid=1562136767&s=gateway&sr=8-13&th=1 If you've got a bit more budget 5 - 10 dollars you can get something long-term from Corsair and their HyperX series. Most of their headsets are very good and cheap too. https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-Stinger-Gaming-Headset/dp/B01L2ZRYVE/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=corsair+hyperx+ps4&qid=1562136835&s=gateway&sr=8-5 I'd personally avoid companies like Razer as they have a tendency to just give way in the lower segments and you'll be spending more time in RMA than enjoying the headset.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swamp_Thing_(1990_TV_series) Not too shabby honestly but you have to remember back then they were going straight with what came out of the comics books.

Contemplated giving it a watch. I used to like the old series.

Sorry i meant you're going to have a wait a very very long time for a repeat of that because they are quite shit right now and they'll be that way for a while. Probably one of the best end of season games I have ever seen.

Think you'll be waiting a long long time for that.

I wonder if these two teams will really be in the running next season to a 90pt race or if something else will happen but you never know. It was exciting last season and I hope there is competition of some kind at the top.

I think the Frenchman would be a good long-term prospect for the team considering he does something very similar to Salah and has the chops to actually make it too. The problem really there is the price and then that lingering question about him also having attitude issues at PSG as well.

Wasn't even going in your direction with the post. I was just saying that if we did offload him for a lot of money who can realistically come in and take his place.

Since we started the discussion I suppose its fair to ask. If we offload Salah who comes in his place that can actually do the job? That 20ish guy Pepe?

Think it comes from the expectation he set in his first season. I don't expect him to score 40+ goals every season and I much prefer having a front three that are all capable vs relying on one man to do the job.
