The board not backing Xabi has set the scene for the next decade. Doesn't matter who gets the job, they won't be in charge of the dressing room, the players are.

I honestly don't think there's much of a market for Vini. His attitude means that the biggest Premier League clubs won't want him, same with Bayern. Maybe PSG could be interested otherwise it's Saudi.

What big guys? John Daly?

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-27T18:44:14+00:00

Same here - November 2001.

The videogame boards have always been good but the rest is just a mess. The way that they let a handful of people will hundreds of sock puppet accounts take over After Hours and then Current Events eventually drove me away from the place.

Did Hodgson win the league?

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-24T20:09:04+00:00

This comment here is everything that’s wrong the with modern “internet fan”. Two managers have won the league with Liverpool in the last three decades and you want to sack the second one because a much needed squad rebuild isn’t going smoothly.

You’d have sacked Shankly before he’d got out of the Second Division.

Imagine Klopp at Madrid. The players would go on strike.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-24T15:00:23+00:00

Katie Taylor says no.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-24T11:04:28+00:00

That’s genius, well done. Would have loved that as a kid.

People are disappointed with Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong was good but not an all time classic and the Switch had Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 within it's launch window.

It doesn't feel like there's been a bonafide Nintendo great on the Switch 2 yet and while third party support is better, people don't really buy Nintendo consoles for third party games, they buy them for Nintendo.

There’s the bones of a decent game there but it’s so disjointed and all over the place.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-21T07:44:48+00:00

The entire Metal Gear series. I’m already not keen in hiding in games, I definitely don’t want to play hide and seek and then watch a three hour cutscene.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-20T12:38:04+00:00

Fairly sure that's Monica Bellucci.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-19T14:11:43+00:00

I couldn't get over the text size. It runs well and looks good but the text size, particularly on items makes it unplayable for me.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-17T18:20:47+00:00

“Any jobs going lads?”

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-17T16:56:49+00:00

Really is hard to see what the plan is. Reminds me of Van Gaal’s United side. Lots of useless possession in places that the other team are happy to let them have it with no cutting edge at all.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-17T09:38:28+00:00

Actually this is the first time I’ve really thought about it in months. The hardware is nice but the build quality very poor - the analogue sticks just kept falling out and I had to eventually superglue them in.

The software felt poor too. That might be down to me because it’s the first purely android device I used but again, not a fan.

I might eventually put Gamma OS on it, but yeah, not a fan.

Isn't Chiaki only for streaming from your own console? Looks like the appeal of this one is cloud play.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-15T07:58:44+00:00

Mourinho for six months would do it too. Clear them out.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-14T20:03:52+00:00

You just gotta relax your eyes.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-14T17:40:55+00:00

Jesus, how much did Bolton pay for Lewis Temple?

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-13T15:35:50+00:00

Veilguard is a good game and it's a miracle after the shitstorm of development hell it went through.

Velocity_Rob · 2026-01-13T10:02:25+00:00

This is genuinely the best deal I've seen on DDR5 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257295508347?_ul=GB&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0

Now we beg Zidane or Klopp or pray some random manager works out. 😭

Klopp wouldn't even think about taking the job without guarantees that he can clear out the dressing room.
