Just saw this and checked it out.  Seems pretty cool so far!  Thanks.  

Sunderland still ended up spending close to £160m I think. They spent really well but if they were to get relegated, they'd be in a whole world of trouble for years to come and they wont want to go back to League One or end up doing a Reading. Leicester are due to be deducted an estimated 9pts this month for PSR violations too and their situation could turn extremely dire if they have to sell players in January to stop it happening in the summer. There's just not enough windows or time for teams who are going down to adjust their situation - I can understand why teams going up may be scared to spend because it means they don't have to try and balance the books to fit the stupid PSR rules in no time at all. Maybe getting promoted, planning for relegation and then trying to get promoted again isn't such a bad idea especially if you can pocket a huge sum. Spending it seems to have a double-whammy knock-on effect.

100% agreed. Add to that the fact that newly promoted teams can only spend a limited amount due to PSR whereas the bigger teams can just go and spend £600m plus. Declan Rice going to Arsenal cost nearly as much as our entire summer spendings. Newly promoted teams just can't compete. Seems that Sunderland may be the exception to the rule. Fair play to them if they do stay up. 

The gulf between the Championship and Premier League is ridiculous and it's getting wider all the time. I think Ipswich have a good squad but I don't think any team in the league this year would be good enough for the Premier League, not even Coventry. Ipswich last night created some decent chances and looked dangerous but just lacked anything clinical in the final third - partly down to our keeper having a great game and perhaps being burned out after Hull away on the Tuesday and some crazy away fixtures in succession. I can definitely see you lot challenging for promotion and securing a playoff place but the days teams can do a Bournemouth or Brentford and maintain a Prem place are long gone.

Don't lie! 🤣
 
I think our league position doesn't reflect our play. I think you could call it "generous". If we get promoted again, I think we would get wrecked most games and be straight back down again.
My preferred result would be narrowly miss playoffs, strengthen the squad and finish strongly for two more seasons before possible promotion.
Actually I would be happy with top 8 finishes every season playing entertaining football. Premier League is the dream but can be a nightmare as well 

I think that Leeds will be going straight back down. The recruitment team utterly failed in the summer and just didn't get in the players we needed. We've been crying out for a decent striker for years but we never get one.
Farke is out of his depth in the PL as well. I was all for giving him a chance after he got us promoted but I think that he needs to go. He's incapable of changing things up when he needs to and always picks basically the same team. Add to that the fact that he won't make changes at half time when it's blatantly obvious that we need to make changes. I guess the only issue is who would we get to replace him? 🤔

If it wasn't for all those last minute goals at the start of the season, they'd be sitting in 19th right now. Slot has to go as nothing is working. Pretty amusing situation as the consensus at the start of the season was that they'd with everything with all the signings they made yet they are lucky not to be in the relegation zone🤣

Hi, new here on FG
 
Looks like nothing has been said about valorant since release (forgive me if I didn't search hard enough). Seems to make sense with most of the player base being effectively poached from CS and primarily American. 
 
Wondered if anyone here was interested in having a go? I've been playing for a couple of years now and to date it's been a very different experience to other FPS games because really I'd describe it as being CS but with more imaginative util that pretty much blocks players from dominating matches with cheater-level aim ability alone as long as they don't also have strategic dominance.
 
PC player, the game is available for console too but there is no cross play because of MnK flash dodges let alone other things

Liverpool lose AGAIN last night. Never expected a freefall this badly.

I know what some of these words mean.....

US beating Uruguay is quite a big deal imo, looks like getting Poch as coach is finally coming good @Sennex
 
 

Ironically, that seems the best way to make friends and not get killed by other teams. Console trios seems to be the opposite as they don't spend time to say 'Don't Shoot' and have a chat to a randomer.

I think it will get game time but it has come out at a time where there are quite a few new games coming out and a some tough competition, notably Arc Raiders which has took off really well. It is going to struggle to keep the momentum going with a map here and there that have been let's be honest are pretty crap. If that is what they are releasing at this point when they still have a sizeable workforce on the game then just think of the dregs we will be getting in a month or so. 
 
Worse still is they are just sections of the Redsec map which show's where yet again they put most of their energy towards and yet again it won't take off for them, you think they would have learned after last time. Battlefield will never be a battle royale.
 
 

Guess the battlefield hype ran out fast?  I had high hopes too.

Will get you added, what are you playing on? 
 
We had Greboth and Crispy on last night for the first time too so we have a few newer players which is good.

Thats my embark ID, idk if yall need that or steam id.
 
I am wandering around doing IDK what 

Absolutely epic run on Spaceport. Shitloads of purples and blues. Get to extract, small firefight with two lads and ended up downed. They then peaced up with each other and stabilized me so I could extract, then my fucking internet goes down and I lost it all. 
 
Fml.

It'll always be my go to Dave! Everyone loves a shiny! 🤣

I love how raged you were 🤣🤣🤣🤣
 
I get it, and in fairness I like to play in a group together in the main. It reminds me of Destiny and these little things is where it just shows people play in different ways. I've always been a person that has objectives, but will always be happy to help others first. The way the game is made is if I have no objectives, opening a few boxes, which essentially is the playloop, shouldn't be any issue. In some ways it can be funny why i'm such a magpie over little things.
 
That game was hilarious but also reminded me that i'm extremely new to the game and still played far less than others. I'm going where I'm told - this one was the tower you told me to go for. I pressed a button downstairs and asked a few times what to do up top but no one answered or knew. There was no interactional buttons either. By then the big Bombardier was agro'd and then somehow blows 2 massive missiles at me for no reason! 🤣 I get downed once, and then fall down again.
 
In the meantime, Tom goes and does the real dirty on the players next to us, sends them raging, only for one left to nail his ass reviving me 🤣 I mean, I had a free loadout and no way I was gonna take down that Bombardier with no guns or stuff....unless I looted! 🤣
 
I love the way @Diddums plays this tbh. You want to go after everyones objectives, but sometimes random shit happens and that makes the memories and experiences to remember. Plus he's not concerned about dying and once you let go of that risk/reward part, knowing you can get straight back in to the game in 1 minute, it actually becomes more enjoyable.
 
Plus we get to have this ridiculous car crash memory now, mainly cos Tom agro'd some nice 'Don't Shoot' guys and they rinsed us back! 🤣🤣🤣

Not me 🤣🤣🤣

I was iffy at this game at first but in love with it now. 
 
Not watched an angry Joe in a while but they summed it all Well. One of the best things like they say it feels like the old days of Xbox like or pc gaming, going into chats and making friends quickly in game, people working together etc. takes you back to the old days 
 
biggest let downs are the microtransactions and character customisation 
 
 
 

Rubbish! You're just a bloody magpie like me!! 🤣🤣🤣

Tetris Effect is an amazing game. The visuals and soundtrack are just awesome. 
 
That game made me research LED backlights for my TV, because I wanted to enhance the ambiance more.
 
I don't know anything about Luna though, or any of those other games.

I had not watched a film for a while but sat down and watched the greatest showman with my wife yesterday, I kind of enjoyed it more than I thought I would to be honest.

Watched a movie last night called "2067"
 
Not really sure how I feel about it other than it reminded me of all the movies I used to watch early Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It wasn't bad, but it was definitely an early afternoon movie, not a late night movie.
 
I dont' even know if that makes sense, but it's what I was thing the whole 2nd half of the movie.
