Thought it was awful. There was so many things wrong with it - a lot of the plot was forced (and I don't want to get into that as it'd spoil the film for those that haven't seen it) and the battle scenes were tame. Not to mention there were several scenes ripped straight from Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan!

Just got the Poncho in Mexico. Awe. Some.

It's very good, Hughsey. My only issue so far is the lack of guns available to you.

Yeah the Daniel Craig, Bond is actually pretty close to the original character. What is he described as in Casino Royale, a 'cold hearted @#/?'? That sounds about right.

And the Dutch league is going down to the final day. Twente with a 1 points lead over Ajax.

Messi's a diving little ######.

Maybe Twente did their homework then. Hope he wins it.

Messi's four foot nothing. He's not strong at all, he's just quick and nimble on his feet. Rooney is very quick too, he's not just strong with 'impeccable timing' whatever that means.

The close control Messi showed for that goal was sublime. There's very few players in the world that could have pulled that off.

Saw Felon the other week. It's a fantastic, if brutal, film.

Because the plot was written by a ten year old that had just seen FernGully.

I bought MAG when looking at BC2 on Amazon (the 'ppl that buy this game also look at:' section). The game was shockingly marketed, I had no idea it was coming out. That said I've not put MW2 back in the tray since buying MAG. It's better on pretty much every level.

When you get more experience you'll eventually find that cold blooded is very useful, but stopping power (assault rifle class) or lightweight (sub machine gun/light machine gun class) is a better perk.

Surely it'd be Welshburn Rovers?

You can't snipe anyway as the kill cam gives away your position (unless you keep the scope held down for a few seconds after the kill - even then experienced players can work out where you are). Silencers mean when you fire your gun you don't come up on the radar - sadly they completely nerf the sniper rifle, so it's pointless to equip them on that gun (takes two shots to kill, which defeats the object!) Air support (UAVs, Predator Missile, Pavelow, Chopper Gunner, Harrier, AC130) is a nightmare until you get cold blooded - having said that I use an M4 with stopping power equipped most times. I've just learnt to run into buildings when someone gets a kill streak reward going.

Just laziness. MAG is Massive Action Game, which undoubtedly for marketing reasons has been shortened to MAG. ME2 is Mass Effect 2, the sequel to Mass Effect (2007 Sci-Fi First Person Shooter/Role Playing Game). As for MW2 it was my first Call of Duty game, so took me a while to get into it (hence the 1.89 K/D ratio). Bought it on the advice of my friends - it's fun, but hugely frustrating at the same time. Learn the maps, watch your radar and you will go far.

Anyone getting MAG? It's on pre-order for me. Sick of MW2 (which I'm pretty good at - 1.89 K/D ratio) and hoping this teamwork based game is what I'm looking for. I've also got ME2 on order, so my social life is right out of the window come Friday.

I'm not McCarthy's biggest fan, so if he were to go for £2.5m (or indeed if it's a loan and we're getting a £2.5m fee and his wages off the books) then I'm not too fussed. He's an extremely talented player, but lazy beyond belief - it's a mark of his talent that he's able to play at such a high level despite barely putting in the required hours. I'm more concerned about whether we'd see the money or not. Knowing our board they'd simply argue McCarthy off the wages brings us closer to the required squad wage budget and bank the money.

They've cut the deadwood then. Not that the franchise isn't ######.

Yeah 2012 ticks all of the boxes that an 'end of the world' film should, but like RoyRover says it's full of dodgy dialogue, mediocre and cliches. It's not very good, but it's not terrible either.

Grella's classy when fit. He does the job of defensive midfielder very well. Granted he's never fit, but this is a theoretical discussion is it not? As for N'Zonzi I like him a lot, but he needs someone along side him to tell him where to be - which is why our midfield has been so poor when Keith 'headless chicken' Andrews has been partnering him. I'd play the Emerton, N'Zonzi and Grella three behind Dunn if we had two full backs able to get up and down the wing. Sadly we don't have one at left back unless Chimbonda is pushed back there and Jacobsen starts at right back again.

Grella, Dunn, Diouf and Pedersen is a very static midfield. Sadly Dunn doesn't have the legs to play centre mid effectively anymore.

He's only been there 5 minutes!

Allardyce managed to use Okocha and Djorkaeff. He clearly doesn't allow slackers, which is something McCarthy does very well.
