I'm looking forward to the Clasico, the additions of Bale, Neymar and Isco add an interesting new dimension to what is usually billed as 'Messi vs. Ronaldo.' But I'm going to miss Jose being the Real manager. It may have been unsavoury, but he turned those matches into outright wars and I found...

To be honest, whilst he does theoretically have a lot of competition, what he definitely has in his favour is that no one striker has put a claim to the striker position in the Spain starting 11 (when they do in fact choose to field a striker). As MidnightGengar says, he seems in line to get a...

For me the real measure is just after the Xmas fixtures. That seems to really be the time of the season that the teams in the relegation scrap are firmly highlighted and the teams with title credentials (which admittedly is usually only limited to 2 or 3) stamp down their authority. Whilst...

I don't think God could've predicted that United performance either. Worst I've ever seen them play, possibly worse than when they took the 6-1 thrashing (at least then they had the excuse of being down to 10 men and very much going for it in the 2nd half for the sheer scale of the defeat - no...

Glad to be very wrong about the boredraw part, but hoping Man U come out a lot better in the 2nd half.

At the very least the RVP news has gotta have the Man City defence feel better, but sadly this makes me feel the 0-0 boredraw I predicted will be even more likely. But Wayne's on fire, although I think he's better playing deeper off of a striker than playing right up top, and I'm guessing it'll...

Some results I didn't expect yesterday in the EPL, Southampton's win especially. I hope Liverpool's momentum doesn't stutter though. With City & United looking sketchy it could be the first season where we get a genuine multi-horse race to the title, rather than just two teams at it...

Of course 10-15 years ago teams would never pay that much - but then again 13 years ago the transfer record was £45.6M (Zidane), and 16 years ago £19.5M (Brazilian Ronaldo) - at the time at their peaks and quite arguably the best players of their generation [naturally I didn't know this off of...

Predictions Norwich 2-3 Aston Villa Neither side have rock solid defences and both have decent attacks so I expect goals, but I can see Villa getting the win thanks to Benteke and Agbonlahor being on fire lately. Liverpool 1-0 Southampton Liverpool are without Coutinho so I think they will...

And I'm Joined :)

Europe wise, I'm amazed Chelsea got stunned by Basel. But they'll still qualify from their group. Arsenal got a fantastic result given the group of death factor, Man City's result was a bit of a given and I was very impressed with Fellaini's first start for Man U (and obviously impressed with...

I'm still interested. As far as I know me joining your league a few games behind shouldn't be a problem since I've had my team since the start of the season (presently a part of 2 leagues, 1 I was in from the start and 1 I joined a couple of games in and in both I have the same points)

I missed match of the day last night so I can only really go by results and match summaries but I'm really wondering what's up with Man City as of late. I've fancied Man U from the start to retain their title but Man City are out of the doors in a dishevelled mess. The only match I did catch was...

I've gotta say, Liverpool & Brendan Rogers have impressed me the most in the past two transfer windows. Whilst Rogers had me very sceptical splashing out so much cash on Allen, his big signings in the winter window (Sturridge & Coutinho) have made a massive difference, he's brought in some...

I won't lie, I measure my "Bruce Wayne" interpretation by Bale's most recent performance rather than by the comics/cartoons/etc. But from measuring it against Bale, I think he's a mature enough actor to pull that off. But I see what you mean (which is kind of a separate thing) in the sense of...

I'm very much on the side of "Oh stop over-reacting please, fanboys" when it comes to this casting decision. Ben Affleck has more than enough acting chops to his name to give me the confidence that he can play Batman (in particular, it takes me all of 3 seconds to imagine Affleck playing Bruce...

Glados from Portal (and Portal 2) is an amazing villain. The way her dialogue is phrased, the backhanded compliments and then downright insultingness can't help but rise a smirk from me. Although my favourite lines of her are the ones that truly carry massive overtones of Sinisterness. Portal...

Gotta throw a loving mention to Journey. That game's soundtrack is just jam-packed with feeling. My personal favourite piece from it is called Apotheosis It begins so sadly and then cuts to the dramatic before leading into a sort of peaceful calmness with triumph and joy. As I say, the...

Gotta be the Bioshock series for me: Bioshock 1 is probably my favourite of the 3rd gen games. Bioshock 2, for all the flak it got, I still enjoyed a lot (I felt it had a better emotional core to its story than Bioshock 1 and really fleshed out Rapture as a place) and Bioshock Infinite pretty...

"Saddest moment" - hmm, when I think over the (story-driven) games I've played there are quite a few contenders (a couple already mentioned - Silent Hill 2 & Bioshock Infinite). Just throwing these out there since I haven't seen them mentioned: The Piano tune to that truly was gorgeous...
