I'm all for extending contracts with good players....hell, even with decent players. This is just a waste of time. I was really hoping for a good bit of business with 'boro too.

No, no...that's pretty much it. Kill zombies in imaginative ways. Oh and there's story missions to do, you know, to find out where all the damn zombies came from. And rescue missions, there are survivors around the mall needs saving.

We need him baaaack....badly! Where's Vollvik when you need him eh?

We'll have another poor start. Pompey 2 - 1 Rovers

Rovers 3 NZ 1

Oh thank God... Btw, I suppose you've seen the details about the Oasis "greatest hits" album...strange tracklisting eh? Oh and everybody needs to get Dead Rising...super fun!

How rude, derailing my thread with crappy jokes

Ok, so having seen the release lists for the next few months I can say that I am extremely excited about this autumn and winter. Lots of really promising stuff is coming out in the coming months and I for one know that my wallet is going to suffer. I'll just have to make do without food or something... Here are my picks for the next few months... Madden 07 - 28 August Saints Row - 1 September Test Drive Unlimited - 8 September Dead Rising - 8 September Pro Evolution Soccer 6 - 20 October Splinter Cell: Double Agent - 20 October Gears of War - 17 November Call of Duty 3 - 17 November Superman Returns - 1 November/24 November? Of these, I'm most excited about Madden, TDU, Dead Rising, PES 6, GoW and Superman Returns. Get on marketplace and download the Dead Rising demo, it's brilliant. It's a great time for gamers now, what are you looking forward to?

Last shirt I had printed, a few seasons ago, I put SHEV 7 on it.

I think he charged up as much power from the sun as he could and gambled. He knew it would probably kill him but he was willing to make the sacrifice for the good of mankind, tying in to the overall themes of the movie. I just saw it tonight and it was a lot of fun. Enjoyed the hell out of it to be honest. I am a big superhero fan, love the comics and love the movies...well...the good ones As far as Superman goes, he's one of the lamest heros out there. Lame costume, too powerful, not flawed enough. But this movie was fun. Great action scenes, which is what you want. Great villain, played very well by Spacy. Sure the plot was silly, but I came out of the cinema feeling well entertained...and that's why you go in the first place

Seeing as how he kept stalling it was pretty evident that he didn't want to come to Rovers. So I'm glad the club pulled out of that particular deal. As for Benni, I'm pleased with the signing. He should be good for 12 - 15 goals a season and with Roberts hopefully bagging 10 or so and MGP keeps getting his 10 or 12 we're looking good. I'm not expeting anything from Jeffers and will take anything from him as a huge bonus.

As I understand it, yes you can play for free during weekends. You can probably get a wireless adapter. Check the shops.

Yeah you just register and you get a month of the Gold membership free. My free month is already expired though...You automatically have the Silver membership, which is free. But you can't play against others online on weekdays. You can still download stuff from marketplace though. Sounds like a cable is faulty really. Don't think it's anything to do with the actual console.

Do you get a green ring of lights when you turn the console on or a red ring of lights? Oh, I got mine about a month ago. Anyone want to hook up online for a game or two one time? Currently only have Top Spin 2 and Fight Night 3 to play online though.

Yeah what barlow said. He's seriously buggered his knee. I've heard he needs two surgeries to fix it.

See, the good thing about this is that he'll need to move somewhere to get his career going again after a few poor seasons up at Newcastle. Where's the best place to do this? That's right, back "home" at Rovers. For a bargain. Just give it a few seasons

OK...I've got: The Beatles - Stg Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) Marvin Gaye - What's Going On? (1971) Joni Mitchell - Blue (1971) The Clash - London Calling (1979) The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (1989) Radiohead - The Bends (1995) Michael Jackson - Thriller (1982) I'm one of those who prefers "Revolver" to "Stg Pepper's" and I'm also a great fan of "Rubber Soul". "What's Going On" is one of my favorite albums ever, everyone should own it.

That Zidane moment of madness left me lost for words. He's had a great world cup and it was looking like he would have a wonderful end to a great career....and he does something like that. You have to wonder what Materazzi said to him, but that was increadibly stupid...shocking. It'll taint his world cup. I enjoyed the game, one of the better games of the tournament for me. Italy were slightly better in the first half and France were far better after the break. They would have deserved a victory in normal time really but it wasn't to be.

I totally agree with this. Unsporting behaviour has come to a new level with this world cup and it has really taken the shine off the whole thing for me. Cheating is something that seems to be rooted deeply in modern football (thanks FIFA...) and it is the one thing above all else, even the stupid amount of money around, that is killing the game. It needs to stop now.

I agree. Wouldn't have expected something like this from a man like Owen.

Oh it's an election, not sure how often it comes around though. However, the whole federation is run by crooks and as long as Blatter wants to stay president...he'll stay president. Until someone catches the guy red handed, as USABlue said. Just recently saw a Panorama programme on the alleged corruption within FIFA...VERY interesting indeed.

Decent game that with some stunning goals too. I thought Germany deserved it after a lively second half. They played some good football this tournament and can enjoy a job well done tonight.

What do you expect when FIFAs so called president very recently admitted he was a cheater back in his playing days? He even tried to defend cheating antics. Blatter out.

Exclusive pic taken from one of Portugals closed training sessions.

Lampard also gets the blame for being generally bloody awful throughout the tournament. As for slating the portuguese, I agree with everything said against them. They have been disgraceful and not just against England. But they haven't been the only ones cheating. Personally, I'm getting fed up with the whole thing and it's ruining the game for me. During the last few years there's been more and more cheating going on and this tournament has been totally ruined by it for me. It's not just diving, it's general unsporting behaviour like faking injuries, influencing the referee and generally acting like pansies. I'm sick of it. Look at the Tour de France....I know, say what you want about drugs and all, but the guys who are clean...THEY are true sportsmen. Look at Stuart O'Grady. He crashed a few days ago and fractured a disc in his back. Did he quit? No, he's still going. Look at footballers. A little kick and they are down, rolling about in "pain". Well sod them, stop playing the ball out so they can get "attention" and yellow card ANY player who goes down in "pain" only to come back a minute later perfectly fine. Cheats, the lot of them.
