and I, for one, cant blame him

oh no, someone moves job for a new challenge and enhanced wage packet.

The Shock!

The Horror!

The typical reactions by the same people who seem to think that footballers should only play for one club and one club only.

for ever and ever amen

my feeling on these games are that ive already paid for the game, im not going to pay a company for continued use.

come on guys you know you're being incredibly geeky when Stargate Atlantis starts taking the ###### out of you

Owen and Rooney?

Cheers Lucas, I wish you all the best, except when playing against Rovers of course

its a laptop - no it wont

It'll melt if you try any decent games on it

Still it'll be better than the pile of turd thats my desktop at the moment

Guardian Fiver - Meant to be a "humerous fairly independent tounge in cheek article"

A DUNN DEAL, BUT NOT A DONE DEAL

At approximately 3.07pm today, the Fiver became so fed up with all the

Machiavellian scheming going on at Stamford Bridge that it decided to

abandon its plan to write yet another story about Andriy Shevchenko

based on innuendo and speculation cobbled together from the morning

papers and write about an even bigger topic instead: David Dunn.

A footballer who's so portly that when his mobile beep-beeps to herald

the arrival of a new text message, people within earshot assume he's

backing up, the knack-prone Bongo FC super-heavyweight today reversed

out of a deal that would have seen him committed to the Bolton Care

Home for GBP2.2m after having his head turned by his old club,

Blackeye Rovers. Reports that this about-turn was prompted by Rovers

manager Mark Hughes dangling a meat pie on a stick remain

unconfirmed.

"It looks like he's going to Blackeye Rovers," wailed frustrated

Geriatricos manager Big Sam into his Bluetooth headset while chewing

furiously on 18 sticks of Juicy Fruit. "He's told me that's where he

wants to go, simple as that. At the eleventh hour they've pinched

him. We are extremely disappointed, but there is not a lot we can do

about it. Blackeye is where it all started for him and he obviously

wants to go back there. I always feel let down when you have got so

far down the road spending so much time showing the player this is

the best place to be to get his career back on track. But it was not

quite a big enough pull compared to the town where he was born and

bred."

And while the Fiver can appreciate that it would take a big enough

pull to get Dunn anywhere, we can't imagine why any footballer would

choose to live in a cold, bleak, wet, northern industrial town such

as Blackeye when they could opt for sunny Bolton-on-the-Med instead.

"I feel let down by this episode," harrumphed Big Sam before storming

off, leaving the Fiver to wonder if he was still talking about a

treacherous big-boned midfielder, or simply venting his spleen about

that Panorama feature on his gormless son again.

Why not just enjoy what both can offer since you can obviously afford it. I do!

got a ps2, 360 and top notch pc and am in gaming heaven.

That way you get to buy the best version of most games e.g.

Splinter cell on PC - bug ridden. On 360 - superb

Rainbow 6 is better on 360 as well

pes 6 on a PC - forget it.

same goes for Burnout

having said that

Far cry, Fear, call of duty et all all play miles better on the PC. I wouldn't even consider an RTS on a console. And there was no way I was going to buy the 360 version of Oblivion (twas £20 cheaper on PC as well)

As for your selection there, Crysis looks superb, but a bit reticent about having to upgrade to Vista to get the most out of it.

2 Games I am looking forward to are Bioshock and Alan Wake (another vista upgrade required to get the best out of it) both on 360 as well for you console junkies.

Alan Wake

Bioshock

Id say Arcady games are console kings, however, I can just afford the ninja PC im looking at but cant go that bit extra to get the PS3 as well, I'll probably wait until they decide which HD Dvd system they're going for then make my decision, also I'll be able to get one for my PC at half the cost in a years time anyroad.

As for the Vista upgrade - its for the DirectX10 which only the Nvidia 8800 graphics card is compatable with. Got one of those on a half decent processor and your FPS will be near 4 digits.

Also paying this much for a PC means its likely to last me for 5 - 10 years before being obsolete

or so I hope anyway

I know most of you are sad console types, but if like me you're a PC Gamer may I suggest you have a look at these:

1)

talking of which

2) Kane Returns

Not like RTS? Well then there's

3)

Or this could possibly the greatest, most unique, most challenging and genre breaking game since some bloke thought that rearanging different shaped blocks into rows was more addictive than Crack Cocaine

4) Cherynoble as a holiday destination? STALKER

However, and here's the big however - you'll need a decent PC and graphics card for these.

But hey thats what inheritance is for - thanks gran.

Battlefield Earth I didnt think was so bad, silly and bloody stupid at times, but still amusing. Maybe because I didnt take it seriously and was laughing at it, not with it

Im a big fan of Forrest Whitaker (sp)

never seen a bad film that he's been in

Anyone else think Neild got a thesaurus for christmas? Its either that or word of the day bog roll

The Rovers boss expertly fused youth and experience together in a revamped starting line-up that featured the old heads of Todd, Tugay and Andre Ooijer, as well as the young zephyrs Derbyshire and Gallagher.

anyone remember that 50 yard pass he hit for MGP the other year, I think it was against Norwich, MGP chested it past the defender then smacked it in.

A great pass but im sure people will claim it was a shank.

Im not sure about the Axe, i think our midfield is such that we need him as backup.

However, if we have players in the reserve ready to make the step up, and we arent the people to make that decision, Hughes and the mgmt team are. Or at least people who regularly attend reserve games then Axe should be given our thanks and then packed off to whence he came.

Me I think he has the potential, its whether he and teh mgmt can make him reach it

Galliopli wasnt made up

"This is madness!"

"NO - THIS IS SPARTA!!!"

Coooool

its rather good

Hah, I got the Graphic novel a few weeks back (have look on Amazon for the Coffee table sized one) Its great.

I also read

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0...0617703-9602351

Because I dont know a lot about that era, and its something that I think I should know more about, and Im taking great delight in now reading much more about these wars.

I think Theno's folks have been around a bit before 1066
