    Football Manager

    I've recently started the Pentagon challenge - start unemployed with no badges and have to win the Champions League (or equivalent) in five different continents. I've owned every CM and all but one FM since 92/93, and other than the italia version this is the first time I've managed abroad. It's...

    performance levels

    If they've been poorly coached since the summer, then it'll take a while to fix that - repetition creates habit, so they need to unlearn some of the ineffective stuff and have time to learn the new bits. Don't think the players are bad, don't even think they lack spirit, but they do lack the...

    Defence

    Not sure the defence on its own is the problem. When we turn the ball over during one of our tippy-tappy attacks, our defensive-type midfielders are nowhere to be seen, so the opponents just get to run directly at our defenders who can't handle it. Add to that that all XI shit themselves against...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Day Gone was far better than the reviews suggested. One of the most enjoyable games I've played over the past few years.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I'd go onto Metacritic, filter by top rated PS4 games, and go down the list until I see something that piques your interest - check user reviews too, but if you find something with both good overall critic and overall user reviews it's more than likely decent.

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    As much as I wanted to pelt Doug with rotten tomatoes, he came across rather well. If Doug is being 100% truthful that it was MR who changed everything, then he doesn't really have anyone else to blame for what is clear underachievement.

    They don't even have baths or showers in Sunderland, how on earth do you think they're modern enough to have stretchers?

    I think Wright is up for it too, tbh - Gaol as I type!

    Even he isn't great at transfers - only improved after signing his third reich back.

    I'm very confused as to why our midfield has been virtually non-existent all season. Whenever we lose the ball near the opponents penalty area, they basically have the whole pitch to run into. Basic positioning issues, imo.

    Collins dived for that one, and it looked nearer to the corner flag than the goal. Lol?
