Broken Sword 5 came out today. I love it.

Did you back it on Kickstarter? I gave them far, far too much money. Same with Elite Dangerous.

Team: The Villa
League Position:13th

Star Man: Fabian Delph
Most Improved: ...Fabian Delph
Best Youngster: Do they actually have to have played for the first team? No? Loan evaluations OK? Righto, Jack Grealish.
Most Disappointing: Aleks Tonev. Literally League Two quality at best.

Best Game: Arsenal 1 - 3 Villa
Best Goal: Delph v Southampton
Worst Game: Villa 0 - 1 Palace

How's the manager doing? Terrible. The time he has had with the squad has been plenty to impose some sort of style on the team. At the moment we cna barely muster a counter attack which is supposedly our best weapon. His summer signings are not up to scratch (although the Okore injury isn't his fault of course, and may have proved to be a very astute signing), and I question his ability to motivate. We have seen that he is able to make changes on the fly recently that pay off, particularly against West Brom and Cardiff, but not nearly often enough. Why play 4-4-2 and not start Albrighton on the right side? One example of many. Very concerning, we are getting worse and the games against Palace and Swansea are the worst I've seen us play since the DOL years

What player do you want in January? Somebody in the middle of the park over the age of, say, 27, who has bags of Premier League experience, and can actually pass the ball to their team mates would be really excellent.

Where will you finish? The optimist in me is saying 17th

Overall Grade: E

How is Moxley aka. Dean Ambrose getting on? Used to be a fan of his from his CZW days, never thought I would see an ultra violent wrestler 'make' it like he has, but it's good to see, I guess. I do mkno whe has a strap at the moment, so must be doing pretty well. His tag team partner from then, Sami Callahan, has signed a developmental contract with WWE too, so he might be hitting screens some time too. He reminds me of a young Chris Jericho, not a big buff guy at all, but good in the ring, mostly getting by being a cocky bastard who is supremely entertaining. Fantastic heel.

#56991 Benteke vs Lukaku

I'll post my reply to the same topic on TSR

I am not really sure. As a Villa fan, I have seen a lot of Benteke, and he continues to impress. Lukaku is the more impressive physical specimen, though, but I can't comment too much more on him beyond that. It strikes me that if Lukaku was that good, he wouldn't be on loan from Chelsea, but starting for them. Ergo, I will have to go for Big Ben, albeit on a technicality.

Well, I figured it unwise to leave it on a technicality, so I've looked up some stats for this season. These include Prem, FA Cup and League Cup appearances, Games / Goals / Assists

Benteke - 28 / 15 / 8

Lukaku - 27 / 10 / 2

So yeah I'll stick with Ben. Although I would be interested to see Lukaku's goals per min, as I expect it is significantly better, as he has been deployed as a sub more often. That's who I think is better now though - I do believe Lukaku will be the better in say, 5 years time.

Isn't that JP only?

OK well I dunno which one you're referring to. But which ever one it is - no.

The Dualshock is having a makeover. The release of the PS4 in Europe is possibly going to be later than that in JP and US. I expect Spring '14 for it here.

What hotel are you staying in? Can't see many hotels in Bradford being too luxurious!

Well I can tell you the hotel was top notch. I also liked Bradford, despite the expected heavy handed policing. It's a much nicer city than I was expecting, much more akin to Leeds (which I like) than Sheffield (which I didn't so much like). Also how ddi that club end up in League 2? Fantastic ground and supporters.

The game was pretty shocking of course, a repeat of the '94 turn around from the same deficit against Tranmere is possible of course, but I expect Bradford to score at least once, so we'll see if Big Ben and Bent have anymore 'luck' then.

Premier Inn, 19 fucking quid! Glorious stuff. Can't be any worse than the shit hole I stayed at in Swindon, and that cost me £30. Or that place in Norwich last season. In fact it would really have to be the pits for me to consider it anything approaching bad. Seeing as it's a branded place I would expect a minimal level of quality which will at the very least provide an adequate level of cleanliness. Would be more than happy to write up a review of the hotel for you after the match if you like, cos lord knows I am pretty terrible at talking about football.

We were awful against Swindon, they practically played us off the park in the second half. Can not see us getting much out of the Norwich game, but think I'll make the trip anyways - lovely place.

I have not seen this one, and do not care too. I do not believe it would be 'worse' than the 'worst' I have seen, though. The video in question I found to be worse than One guy One ice pick, worse than Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs. For some reason I find animal cruelty to be more upsetting. There was one of a skinned seal cub, still alive. Completely skinned alive, just flesh, bloody, red, looking into the camera, blinking, and dying. That was terrible. Worse even than that, though, a clip I think of with worrying frequency, especially when I see this particular implement of torture in real life. Kitten put into a blender, and the blender turned on. The acceleration at which it was turned from a mewing ball of fluff into gore is the single most horrific thing I ever had the misfortune to see. The fucking thing that repeats in my minds eye happens in a split second. As the blender is turned on, the kittens bottom half is reduced to mush, but the top half is still alive. It cries.
