"What do you mean my shot crossed the line ref?"

I've yet to see a non United fan defend Cleverley.

Replied to you nick,mate you HAVE to get the ps4 it's too bad ass. I love it I love it I love it so much . I can't wait till uncharted 4 comes out.

England would get thrown out of the World Cup if Cleverley came on the pitch though. You can only play players that make the squad.

Wont happen. Too many ABU's.
Tbf Afro did say he was just a decent play, same as what Ive been saying but everyone will probably read mine as "hes a great player" as im a Man United fan & cant give an unbias opinion on the team I support.

I'm just not a fan of Cleverly at all and I'm a Utd fan.
Is everyone plumping for the PS4 then over the Xbone? (I'm getting the Xbone)

ABU is a pretty cheap answer and the equivalent of clamping your hands over your ears and shouting I can't hear you.

Ill probably go PS4 but not for a while.

I probably will get the PS4 but I don't really care to be honest. I only play sports games anyway, so either will do. I came back from the US with loads of dollars left so I could even get one this week...

Not really. There are many football fans around the country loving Man Uniteds poor form. Its only natural given the success for so long. Everyone said Chelsea bought the title when they wont it. Everyone hopped on the Blue Moon band wagon when City came into money, then they won the title & people said they bought it. Just the way it is.
There was a topic in the Football Forum on here & people were openly admitting they hate Man United. Various other club supporters & various reasons but there was a lot of hate for Man United.
If you hate a team its no likely you will defend one of their players.

Hero if you get the Xbox you'll have the camera on 24/7 and they'll be monitoring you. 

One of the main reasons I got Ps4 is because most of my friends are on there. Some of the games on Xbox only play 720 which is unacceptable. The ps4 generally have the better exclusive games, it's a bit more powerful than xbox and it's a 100 pounds cheaper. There is no such thing as the better console it's what you prefer, I loved the Xbox 360 and thought it was better than ps3.

I do think the people that use the football board do have a few anger problems though. I should think they hate most teams. And things. Any things.

Do people really hate Manchester United?OK most of the hate is towards Man United fans. But its clear people dislike Man United.

Sodhat you should have tried to pick one up from the states they're cheaper and region free.

Accusing everyone of having a bias against United seems to be the go to response anytime anyone dares criticise a United player. Sure some do, but most are capable of rational discussion.

I've played 8 games on fifa and only two had mics, one had music on and the other was speaking Italian. Probably played about 5 hours online Battlefield and not a single soul on the mic. That's the whole experience trash talking your opposition.

PlayStation give two free games per month when you use their online subscription unlike Xbox but the Xbox online is a more smoother experience.

I would say there aren't any United haters out of us lot, at least since Azzy banned himself.

If you are looking for a rational view of United or their players, then we are probably a good place to start.

Well the non United fans of course, as everyone is bias towards their own club, however objective you try to be

Saying Clevez is carp week in week isnt a rational discussion.
After the England Germany game he was slated even though his stats were better than Gerrards that match. No one hates on Gerrard though. Wilshere gets bummed so hard its probably the reason he cant play a full 90 minutes! Tbf Afro criticising him today is the first ive seen not from me ro Viva in a while.

People were having a go at him at the Arsenal game yesterday, although they are a very negative and jumpy bunch that lot.

One guy near us was priceless. Any decision the ref gave against Arsenal and he called him a "bald headed c*nt" right in front of some kids.

Gerard's pretty past it too if it makes you feel better. And tbh I don't think stats really work in football.

GSC wrote:Gerard's pretty past it too if it makes you feel better. And tbh I don't think stats really work in football.

Agreed. Stats have a place, but I put far more stall in what I see with my own eyes.

What's the Ray Houghton line from Talksport. They give stats covered on distance travelled. Do they give stats on standing still because sometimes that's the best thing to do

They should give a stat for swagness.

1. The camera, seriously if the US Government want to spend their time watching a 37 year old Alan Carr look alike sat playing Titanfall then they're welcome to.
2. Some of the games are 720, yes if graphics make a game fair enough, some on the PS4 are 1080 but are struggling to get to 60fps.
3. The exclusives, the ones out so far are better on the xbox, Titanfall looks better than anything announced for the PS

Big Sam probably does

Who would be highest rated on that stat though?

Big Sam might have to pack up his pro zone and crossing statistics soon if we lose Saturday.

The swaggest player is tough. I always look at Aguero and think "yes, he is swag."

Ravel Morrison has too much swag

GSC wrote:Ravel Morrison has too much swag

I can literally envision him with a bag full of swag. It would even say swag on the bag.

Then he would go to jail.

Or Somalia

He'd have too much swag for Somalia. He'd go somewhere swaggalicious like the Maldives or Bristol.

Agreed stats can vary things & be manipulated.
Distance covered meh.
things like interception, tackles & tackles won, Passing & pass accuracy, key passes attempted/completed stuff like that I think are quite important. Players like Xavi & Pirlo are celebrated for such. Majority of football fan in this county dont really care for it.

CF would win on Swag.

Hero, Titanfall does look impressive, especially for how early in the consoles life it is. As soon as Naughty Dog make an official announcement I Titantfall wont mean much.
A Microsoft dev left the Halo team to join Naughty Dog last month. That must of taken some pull (or pay packet).

All stats are useless without context, but its even harder to quantify for an free form sport like football.

My games are running easily 60fps and I don't see the juddering or lag there. 

I'll agree currently the Xbox has the better games but like Nick said uncharted is going to blow xbox and don't forget final fantasy, God of war and metal gear solid.

Tancredi said stats will kill Football.

16 teams in a tournament 4 teams per group can teams from the same group meet in the semi finals?

Depends how many go through from each group and how the draw is set-up

Ok thanks someone was asking, if it's two per group and don't they normally put group two winners from two groups and two runners up from the other two groups and vice versa for the other side of the knockouts.

If you look at Euro 2012, Italy and Spain were in the same group but could only contest the final.

I think the WC you can meet in the group and semi because of the extra round, but not in the Euros because 1st/2nd in a group split into seperate halves of the knockout draw.

I believe there's two halves to the knockout draw with the winner of each half meeting in the final. Winner goes in 1 half, runner up in the other.

So no, they can only play in the final I think.

That's what I thought.

I found this written online:

"Microsoft will no longer require users of its upcoming Xbox One game console to attach its advanced camera, Kinect, in order to play. The move comes after gamers expressed concern that the device, which can track users in pitch black and recognize faces, could facilitate spying by the National Security Agency or hackers.

Before the latest shift, Xbox One would have required users to connect the camera even if the device was not needed for a particular activity. The new move from Microsoft finally gives users the option to disconnect it completely.

This is not the only policy Microsoft has reversed under pressure since announcing its new console in May. After its initial reveal , some critics cited the device’s twin requirements of a daily Internet connection and an attached Kinect camera as a security danger, especially given the company’s alleged participation in government surveillance revealed by Edward Snowden. Chris Miles, an editor at Policy Mic, went so far as to dub it “the future of PRISM."

3 is clearly wrong, uncharted4 and infamous second son prove that

Looking at raising 3 million, all rotation players available

Those yet to vote, you have until tonight to get them in to me via PM. Everyone got tactics in so £1m if in by midnight. With feedback. If you can't get them in tonight, you can get them in by midday tomorrow where you avoid the -1 goal penalty but wont get the bonus.

I have sent my votes to Marky

Me too!

Me three.

Mighty why do you have your Twitter on private?  I wanted to retweet the ps4 tweet. Any of you guys have Twitter?  Not including the ones I follow.

@MikeVallee1

Not really, Titanfall's been voted the most anticipated game for next gen at last night VGX awards.

Just followed you now Miky.

Thanks mate I have followed you aswell.
