I'm on PS3 with this but only on when at home. I am debating getting it for 360 though

Superb gesture and all clubs should follow suit to show the fans the appreciation they deserve (Millwall and West Ham withstanding)

I went into today to get my wages and my manager was there. she tried to have a go at me for going over her head with my complaint and asked me whever I was going to bother turning up tomorrow, basiccly accusing me of exagirating. she wants to have a 'meeting' with me tomorrow. We then saw each other in the street a little later and she completely blanked me lol.


Harassment as well... She is really digging a hole then. Make sure you record the meeting. Does your phone have a voice recorder?

The upside down cross is a Christian symbol though.


This pleasantly surprised me as I didn't think you would know that. Most Christians don't know their arse from their elbow

All Wilshere has basically said is the same as the home nations FA's have. If you have 5 years of education under the age of 18 then you can play for the country (Where it's reasonable to class them as English/Whatever as they've grown up here at a young age), if not you can't.

Non one was calling them racist when they decided on that.


I don't think anyone is calling him racist this time, if they are then they are an idiot.

He didn't say that though. He said they shouldn't play for a country after 5 years. The way he worded his argument didn't help him though by saying the England team is for English people when a passport makes you British and eligible for England.

I think Gerrard nailed it when I read what he said about it. He spoke up for Wilshere but said the right thing after that.

Seriously, just fuck off you boring cunt.

I will add that i was expecting you to come back and say you was also born in some far away land etc before moving here, as over the years you've lied just about everything else.


Twice you have fallen into ad hominem reasoning without addressing the actual issue. Not a single shred of truth from you either which says a lot.

You are blindly arguing for a player and attacking people for daring to point out the weakness in the argument. What happened to you for you to become so bitter?

Shut up. A passport doesn't give you pride in representing your HOME nation does it, stop being a fucking dick all the time and see it from the footballing point of view that Wilshere clearly is.


Hold on.. Why are you being a dick in this and blindly defending an idiot footballer who exposed his own argument? How do you know what gives someone else pride? I personally know of a few relocated Asians who are proud of this country since they came here under asylum laws and are now UK citizens.

In fact your use of the term "home nation" shows up a xenophobic streak in yourself given how if they are citizens here then they are HOME.

*edit* Just what is a footballing point of view in this anyhow given how the whole debate is a political debate?

"To be clear, never said 'born in England' - I said English people should play for England," said Wilshere.

"Great respect for people like KP (Kevin Pietersen), Mo Farah and Wilf Zaha - they make the country proud.

"My view on football - going to a new country when ur an adult, & because u can get a passport u play 4 that national team - I disagree.

"Just saying my opinion, everyone is entitled to theirs. Can't wait for Friday night..."


Getting a passport for a country means you are that nationality (or at least a fraction).

It is purely ignorance borne from being an uneducated idiot is all. He IS saying that you should be born here to play for the country though.

Callum, you are wrong in this and his stupidity (that is all it is really as he is thick) was shown up during an exchange with Kevin Pieterson on Twitter about it.

Think you can pick up all of the Gears series for like 20 quid all together


I picked up 1 and 2 for £3 today.

Forza 4 is a must have if you are the least bit interested in racing games.


I plan on picking up a Forza but I wasn't sure what number to get

Die Hard is pretty much a perfectly executed action film even if you do take it seriously.


Disagree but we have been there before.

I will be getting the GoW games once I see them cheap. Halo is a no go though as it is nothing but rehashed garbage. I'll take a look at State of Decay though. I don't really have a genre I like but I do stay away from sports games or FPS on console.

Oh I will be getting Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown later on. I loved that game at Eurogamer

I was given a slim version of one of these yesterday. What games are cheap and decent? I've already traded in GTA 4, BlOPs 2 and London 2012 that I got with it as well so none of those. I have GTA 5 on PS3 already so not that either...

Nonsense.
If you can't enjoy it, then you can't enjoy it. Some people can enjoy things others can't. This argument of "YOU TOOK IT TOO SERIOUSLY" is just horseshit.


If you don't take Die Hard too seriously then it becomes an average movie to watch. It works for Die Hard

I hate this idea.
Of course, a lot of films are made just to sit back and enjoy, but sometimes you can't do that because you think the film is really fucking shit and boring.


That is what you are supposed to do with action movies. They are shit as a movie to take in but good i you just chill and take them for what they are.

Poyet is a disaster. The way he left Brighton is a clear indication of what type of person he is and should never be in charge of a top class club. Luckily he will be in the Championship next year

Who cares? As a book it is a must read for anyone. Not reading a book due to history is stupid and is the stance of bookburners.

Flamini's style of play allows Ramsey, Wilshere et al. to be more expressive as he'll be there to cover, whereas I think Ozil's signing has just lifted everyone at the club and it's turned a lot of heads. We looked as good as any Arsenal team for years last night.


Agreed but my point is Ozil may have done that but without a Flamini figure then you would be pretty average due to the same old frailties at the back. For me Flamini has been your better signing

Özil is proving to be some signing for Arsenal... wow, he's good. What a stupid move by Real Madrid to let him go. Makes me think of Makelele's transfer to Chelsea.


I think it is more due to Flamini myself. Flamini there is letting the rest of the team do their thing and that is where Ozil has come in perfectly. Without Flamini I don't think they would be remotely as good.

Put them altogether and you have fullbacks.


Not the same position though. You can't normally just chop and change

It's hard comparing generations, but would you say your world class Rafael is as good as let's say Carlos, Maldini, Lahm etc? I know I mentioned 2 left backs in there but that's just cause I'm not going to lie, I'm struggling to think of many right backs names at the moment. The kid is good, but he's got a long way to go.

Suarez would also be a fair bit behind your Ronaldos, Rauls etc but I believe he's a lot closer to their status than Rafael is to his competition.

But it's a nothing discussion really


Is your right back better than two left backs? u wot m8?

World Class in the context you are using is utterly devoid of meaning. It is a tag that should only be given to someone who has retired and shown they can can compete with the worlds best in his chosen position.
