She didn't exactly try very hard to stop him.

That does not imply consent.

There wasn't a rape scene.

You didn't think Jaime forcing himself upon Cersei was rape? What century are you from?

Reus out of the World Cup

And replaced by a defender. Football logic, it never fails.

Still think Tyrion should have got Jamie to be his champion. Even though he's a crap fighter now, Cersi wouldn't want her lover killed, and Tywin wouldn't want the Lannister name to die. Hence they'd have to pick someone shit

Have you forgotten the rape scene already?

I'm afraid I didn't make the World Cup.

Beat Barcelona comfortably 5-1 and naturally FM decides to crash when I try to leave the match screen.

A new tournament, a new Twatball league.

Same story as usual, fantasy football with a twist. Pick a team of the biggest twats in the tournament, get points for every goal they concede, every card they take, every penalty they cause and every own-goal they score.

Be advised that you can't make any changes in your team once you've selected it, so it may be wise to wait until the tournament gets closer before you pick yours.

The renovation of the Maracana alone cost over $500m, and the stadiums in Brasilia and Manaus don't have any club tenants. Absolutely ridiculous.

Picking Özil over Neuer, Lahm or Schweinsteiger definitely looks like Arsenal bias, and Dempsey over Bradley looks like Premier League bias.

21 and I've got to be close to that, this is my third world cup on here.

When I first got here there was still an EHM section on the site. Must've been waaay back in 2004 or 2005.

My thoughts: I much prefer the defensive mentality over the others, the players are more responsible and pick their opportunities better while also being eager to launch rapid counter attacks.

I also find that the complete wing back role is the only one that really "works". Your fullbacks will be caught out at times, but the forward runs, the overlaps and the crosses that you'll get from it will really pay off and definitely make up for the odd conceded goal.

Having wingers play their "off" wing has never really worked for me on this patch either, left-footed players playing the left side seem to finish better than right-footed players (and vice versa). I'd look into trying Hazard in the middle and trying Salah on the left.

Poachers are useless, this match engine doesn't favour the 1-on-1 type of chances, and that's the only thing a poacher will really contribute. You should try a different role that offers more to the general play, like a false nine or a complete forward. I've gotten my biggest goalscoring success in this version from playing Benteke as a complete forward, him and Lukaku are very similar players so you should try him in that role when you get him back from his loan.

Natural fitness, professionalism and playing time are the keys to a long career on FM. Having great physical attributes to start with helps too.

You should also consider playing your older players in roles that are less dependent on physical ability, like false nine, deep-lying playmaker or limited defender.

I'm sensing a slight hint of bias in these Star Man selections.

Haha, yeah, I was going to say the same thing.

Sabatini: Benatia will only leave for €61m.

Honestly, in a world where David Luiz goes for €50m, I agree with that valuation.

Empoli secured promotion last night and will join Palermo in Serie A next season while Latina, Cesena, Modena, Crotone, Bari and Spezia will go to play-off for the last promotion spot.

Really pulling for Bari to make it, their city has really rallied around the team following the news about their potential bankruptcy and they've been pulling some massive crowds during their push for the play-off spot, the game last night was attended by almost 49,000 spectators.

Funniest sports story I've seen in a while.

The FIGC have confirmed that Lazio midfielder Joseph Minala is 17, and not 42-years-old.

There had been allegations that the Cameroonian’s passport had been altered to take a full 25 years of his actual birth date.

As if an unknown 42-year-old would be able to cut it against some of the best youth footballers in the world. :laugh:

Joe Barton looks such a greasy cunt in that moustache.

Better than the one he had in his late Newcastle days, surely.
