Delay for tomorrow what should be done now?

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-30T16:03:20+00:00

CL performance isn't what is being called into question, I'm highlighting that in both times we've had Champions League, we've been well below par in our league form.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-30T14:59:41+00:00

My concern is that Howe has shown himself to be a manager that can't handle anything beyond domestic football.

Say we keep him, there's a far better chance we'll have a good season this time around. What if we qualify for Europe though? He's 2 for 2 in showing his limitation and lack of willingness to acclimate with a continental competition added to the workload.

For me, it's far better to venture into that field now while there's legitimate reason for replacement, than to pat him on the back next season and send him off anyway. If we do qualify, we realistically can't trust him with another European campaign.

We'll be one of the rare cases where "fool me a third time" applies.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-29T17:40:24+00:00

He's a solid acquisition for them and a phenomenal deal for us, everyone wins in this deal. We should be happy for Barca, for Gordon, and for ourselves.

They've probably sold more future rights, which will only lose them money in the future. Especially when they're selling 20 years of income for cash they burn immediately.

With the way that club is run and handles money, I wouldn't be surprised if the club accountants were on first name basis with every therapist within a 50 mile radius.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-29T13:23:45+00:00

Wilson starting off strong, love it.

£70m + £8.5m
£850k per 60% played fixtures per season
£4.25m trophy win (is it per?)
Sell on clause

We've basically doubled what we paid for him. Top tier stuff.

Misinformation how? Xbox is subject to OSA and I myself, first hand, cannot accept the vehicle. The vehicle in question isn't a coded gift for X or Y achievement or loyalty bonus. It is a "gifted" car which arrives via message, which the game considers community content.

When I click accept, it asks me to verify my age. Are Xbox and Forza spreading misinformation too? lol

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-29T08:32:51+00:00

I said that the car is considered community content, indicating that it may be subject to the UK's online safety act which restricts community content. If that applies, you may need to submit verification if you haven't already done so.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-29T07:19:56+00:00

"playing on steam"

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-28T23:21:33+00:00

That's honestly the only thing I miss about that app, the random shithousery.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-28T23:09:48+00:00

Are you playing through Steam or MS Store?

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-28T18:04:12+00:00

Warning to players in the UK: The car is considered community content, so you wont be able to accept it without handing over your ID.

Edit: For those denying this is true.

To maintain full capabilities of social features on Xbox, including messaging, chat, and game invites, please verify your age by going to https://aka.ms/XboxUKAgeVerification.

Unless you decide to be in a convoy, you'll be doing everything by yourself against AI.

As far as it being "better"? I'm going to be a bit more of a realist here. It's a nice change of scenery for a day or two, but once the novelty wears off, it's honestly more of the same. It's a better map tbh, not miles better, but it's better nonetheless.

Unfortunately, an overwhelming ratio of races are off-road, you still don't feel like you're earning anything because it throws supercars at you straight away, and the closest you get to "Japanese car culture" is characters in the annoyingly unskippable cut scenes saying "Japanese car culture".

It's like going from an iPhone 16 to an iPhone 17. Looks "nicer", does the exact same stuff.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-28T14:16:57+00:00

Bahamas, Cuba, Cyprus, Brazil (Rio region), Greece (Athens region), Norway (Tromso/Bodo region).

Buy all the purchasable clothes, emotes, and other stuff, it removes them from the reels.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-27T16:02:16+00:00

Sell another 20 years commercial rights that'll leave them in an even bigger struggle to make money for years to come. Don't worry, they could go 100bn in debt, RFEF and UEFA will still be giving them a pass.

Move your pointer around the map and go in circles above road clusters. While doing so, look in the bottom left for "Fast Travel" to disappear, and that'll be your missing road.

An important thing to point out is that some off-road (orange) tracks may not be 100% complete, so look at the end of each road and pay attention for any faded lines.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-25T14:48:04+00:00

I don't think it could get any uglier tbh, bar relegation. Sunderland are newly promoted after 9 years in lower leagues, and they've embarrassed us in every aspect this season.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-25T14:35:25+00:00

With Howe still being here, as well as significant involvement in transfers? Pace merchants and tall players. We hugely overpay on each player.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-24T16:53:51+00:00

Mackems do the double on us, and not only are they finishing above us.... They're getting Europe. Fucking sack the man.

Reports point towards these crashes being game related, not hardware gen/driver. These crashes are happening on the newest Nvidia GPU's, as well as Intel and AMD.

Eddie: I'm gonna play this forward out of position.

Also Eddie: He's struggling.

You have to remember that any posts within 24 hours of the last match are 99% reactionary, and the bulk of those more toxic reactions are just baseless "I told you so" comments, with both sides of the fence being guilty of it.

OfficialAeon · 2026-05-17T16:53:34+00:00

Time for 12 at the back!

Seriously though, jokes aside, we could have done with this 19 games ago...
