Yep.  Anyone with talent and sense shouldn't go for that role while "hands on" Levy is in charge.

Here's that 10-min clip:

Did Juventus just lose 10 points?

EDIT: Why, yes.

Sky Q let you download a 10 min clip for free.

I had a look at the beta and liked the battle lobby, could work well I think.  However, for some reason when waiting for a player the practice controls were "Modern Controls" only, which was massively irritating.

I've also got the demo, and I swear Ryu plays well different.  Maybe muscle memory isn't as good as I thought it was!

Spurs being Spurs as usual in their last home game.

That said, we weren't the only London team to cock it up spectacularly today...

So it's weird.  It's now available from streaming services... in the US only.

... and breathe.

It's coming out on streaming next week, apparently.  It's already up for preorders on Amazon Prime Video and Google TV.  It's £20 to buy but weirdly the Amazon one gets you the Ultra HD version while the Google TV one gets you the HD version.

WTF?

3-1 half time

3-3 - 92 mins

4-3 full time 🤦🏾‍♂️

Another game, another 2 goals in quick succession....

🤦🏾‍♂️

I'm starting to realise how much I've missed Nintendo games. The Wii was my last console.

I was Nintendo from the SNES but had to sell my Wii U early and finances meant I had to hold off on a Switch until late 2020, and I realised the same as you. Just so good and so fun. I use it so much more than my PS5

Yeah I had a Super NES, and my sister had a NES.  Got a Gameboy in 1992.  Missed out (deliberately) on an N64, got a Gamecube then a Wii.  Missed out on Wii U but have a Switch.  Those Mario games are AMAZING!  Unfortunately I don't have time to finish them in a day like I used to   EDIT: Caveat - admittedly it was Super Mario World that I finished in a day... and Super Mario Land 2.  The others I finished in two weeks - the other NES and Super NES Mario games that is.

Players will pay to reimburse the travelling crowd for the terrible game on Sunday:

Stellini gone (Sky Sports tweet, Spurs website statement)

Oh Jesus Christ

🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Look, yeah there are parts you could drive a tank through, and the way the end was so neatly tied up even though just before it they all seemed to be totally fucked, but on the whole this was great, in fact in my opinion it should have been a film instead.

I love how crap the UMDs are too. They're the sort of thing that could only exist in the mid 2000s, a strange middle ground before solid state memory was cheap enough for the bigger games. They tank battery life and they're fragile but I like the sound of the disc spinning away in a hand held console and the snapping shut of the disc tray with a slight click. Console noises are one of those weird, unimportant "features" that draws me to original hardware instead of emulation for reasons I don't fully understand. It's part of the personality of it I suppose.

...

I draw the line at buying films on UMD though, that was too crap an idea to support even for retro novelty value.

I liked the UMDs though, similar to MiniDiscs.  I think the problem was that Sony probably wanted something similar to MiniDiscs, which seemed a good idea at the time (like regular optical discs but smaller), but they didn't have long in the market before alternative formats came out to trounce it.  There was no foresight, basically.  in the case of the MiniDisc, they were great in that short period where they were clearly better than cassettes and CDs, but then mini HDDs (iPod, etc.) killed it stone dead.  With UMDs, they could probably have used SDcards or similar tech (even using their own MemoryStick format would have been better).

I sort of agree with you on the films.  I've got a few.  It's just the films, not even any extras, and just seems a bit weird when 1. they were as expensive or more than DVDs, and 2. it was pretty easy to rip a DVD and copy the files onto the MemoryStick card - this was more "portable" than carrying a load of film discs.

And there we go, Paratici has formally resigned.

I don't think Pochettino is the answer either, I mean what's changed since he left?  To come back he's going to ask for more money (his wages) AND also he'd want more investment in the squad (and we all know Levy).  There wouldn't be any point in coming back otherwise.

From what I hear, it's not just Paratici that is anti Poch, so it's not even guaranteed that he's even welcome back at Spurs as the head coach regardless of Paratici's employment or not.

Paratici ban upheld.  So clearly he's gonna be sacked.  Can't say I'll miss him.

In the same breath as above, Juve got their 15 points back.  WTF

I remember getting a Fast 10 trailer.  Fast 10... before a kids movie?!  To be fair it was clearly a kinda sanitised trailer... although still amazed they actually could do so!  Also got a Transformers Beast Wars (or whatever it's called) trailer too.

We all went to see this yesterday and all really enjoyed it.  Pretty much every screen at the Odeon was showing this during the day and the cinema was rammed (wind/rain storms probably helped).  Not sure why the critics have mostly turned their collective noses up at this (Bradshaw saying it's as disappointing as the Bob Hoskins live action version is bollocks) but everybody in the screening was having a great time.

 

Plus, it gave me a reason to wear this, much to the delight of my kids  (I also wore it for a bit while driving, with the Mario Kart title screen music on, because why not)

 

 

Your daughter 😂

I want to know why The Queen has gone after Starfleet when we're supposed to be in a slightiy-altered timeline (ala Back To The Future) with Jurati-Queen being less assimilatory?

Or will episode 10 reveal all (like her face this time)?

Or will they simply retcon series 2 out of existence, and using original Alice Krige's voice is as big an indicator as we got?

Yeh my kids wanted that but I drew the line

 

It was odeon de luxe in Leeds we went to which from posts in here appears to be the most expensive cinema!

Odeon here too!  Last film I saw was Star Wars Episode 7... seriously.  Prices have gone up LOL

Went to go see this.  Utter, utter genius.  The critics haven't a clue.  This is not only influenced by pretty much every Super Mario game out there (even the credits was hurried up by the "hurry up" Mario music!), but I swear there's elements of the original Super Mario Bros movie in here (albeit done better).  Also, I may be dreaming, but were those Dragon Punches from Street Fighter II (and not generic uppercuts) in there?  Animation is amazing, I think they've almost got to the point that everything looks "real" now, like maybe past ridiculously smooth clay animation real - examples such as the stitchwork of Mario's cup, the way Princess Peach's eyes move millimetres left and right while staring (like a real eye), the way the sun lights up the room and faces, the water, there's loads more.

Also: clearly going to be a sequel because:

It cost us £82 for four at our cinema. Crazy times.

 

I asked if you got a blu ray of the film included in the price 🤣🤣

Cost me £52.50 for 2 adults and 3 kids.  And then £34.77 for the food.  It would have been more if the kids hadn't relented on taking the Question Mark popcorn containers - they were £9 each!
