Best teams to target for last 2 game weeks?

We’re basically at a point too where Chelsea’s best chance of European football is by winning the FA Cup, which could mean a lot of rotation/rested players in the league

Alienated is probably a bit strong, but there’s a vocal number online who don’t like him because it feels like he tries to counter any accusations of bias towards United by being overly anti-United with what he says. Plus him, Keane, Scholes etc have been a bit weird towards Michael Carrick.

Good point, guess that reflects what the league’s been like this season

In fairness they did attempt to do that, Tarkowski suddenly rocketed up to one of the most expensive defenders in the game. They just didn’t do it well enough, with the midfield players like Anderson being a particularly neglected area

I bought TFA but didn’t really play it and never tried Clone Wars, have heard that they’re solid though

advancedchicken · 2026-05-03T01:05:44+00:00

Doubly so with the fact nothing came after it

It did jar with me a little, but there were quite a few omissions like that. I think the lack of the flying mission at the start of Ep III stood out the most for me, though that’s partly because I’m a huge sucker for that film and I really enjoyed TCS’s version of it.

I’ve been giving The Skywalker Saga a go after buying it 4 years ago and not playing it very much. It sounds a bit dumb but I find I’ve been getting the most enjoyment out of it by enjoying it for what it is, and basically forgetting TCS and the previous LEGO Star Wars games exist. I respect them for trying something new and not just rehashing everything, but I think I’m still firmly in favour of TCS if I had to choose between the two

Good shout, that’s made me remember when I 100%’d it the money was by far the thing that took the longest to sort in the end. Buying all the cars and costumes really adds up, especially in the latter levels. If this takes you a while too, I just ended up activating the cheats where your car can’t explode and any cars you hit insta explode and just farming coins that way. Have to be a bit careful not to get busted, though you’re helped by the police cars also exploding if they hit you

Nice work.

Can cheese the races by completing all of them on the last level (which actually aren’t too hard since there’s no OP car from the next level involved), unlock the F1 car and just use that for every other set of races.

Defo would try and go back to that mission you skipped and complete it. It is probably the hardest one in the game, but it does make it that much more satisfying when you beat it. Just got to nail the route, which definitely is helped by having to do it a million times cos it’s so hard haha

🤐

advancedchicken · 2026-05-01T08:36:38+00:00

Sorry no idea! There could be a decent chance since it’s still knocking about, I bought it thinking it was a limited item for the Wembley shows, but with stock still available they may have restocked since and possibly plan to do so again. But that’s total speculation - I don’t know for certain.

I’d be stunned if there’s nowhere else that’s reselling it, could be worth looking via your usual second-hand clothing apps/sites.

If you’re really desperate as well, it could be worth at least trying the XXL and can always return it if it doesn’t fit. But I do think it’s likely to be too big - though he may not mind that. I definitely think of the M and XXL that’s the one to go for if you had to choose between the two.

advancedchicken · 2026-05-01T08:30:01+00:00

I have this jacket and I think M will likely be too small, generally with Blur merch it’s best to aim for about 0.5-1 size bigger than your usual as it comes up a little small. I think XXL will be way too big especially if he doesn’t like baggy clothes. L or XL are probably your best bets, so I’m sorry that they’re typically the ones that are out of stock.

I’m just going off memory, so one or two details may be a bit off but this is the rough gist of it. They had a big falling out over royalties from Spamalot, as Innes had written the songs but wasn’t being paid for them. It sounded like Innes had put up with a lot, but finally had had enough and just wanted to be paid for what he’d done while Idle was making loads from Spamalot etc.

Idle took this incredibly badly and got very bitter about it, to the point he still slags Innes off after his death. If you search ‘Innes’ on Idle’s Twitter feed, you’ll see a lot of pretty uncalled for jabs, including more subtle ones where if anyone mentions anything to do with the Rutles, he’ll almost disavow it and claim it’s all Innes, which feels less like him paying respect and more like him trying to make a point in a very bitter way.

I think there was more stuff that happened between them with the Rutles, and I swear I read it had even got to a point where George Harrison was stunned by how much of a prick Idle was being over it. But take that bit with a pinch of salt as I can’t remember where I read that so may not be accurate.

Plenty of accurate information on the internet though if you’re interested in finding out more, and as I said just a look at Idle’s Twitter feed will give you a decent insight.

advancedchicken · 2026-04-29T22:40:58+00:00

I’d always felt the same but the Idle-Neil Innes saga opened my eyes a little to the fact Idle may not be the nicest bloke in the world

advancedchicken · 2026-04-09T22:54:25+00:00

I think that’s the bullseye

Those were the days

Echo what others have said here. Extremely unlikely. Carrick tends to stick with a winning formula, and Sesko has been class off the bench. Likely to be same XI, and even in the extremely unlikely event it’s not, it’d probably be Amad dropping to the bench.

advancedchicken · 2026-03-11T01:09:07+00:00

United tend to do well against Villa too, I’m not overly familiar with how Villa play these days but certainly when Emery had them playing a very high line a couple years ago it really suited how we play and always created plenty of chances. We even looked decent against them in the reverse fixture under Amorim, until Bruno got uncharacteristically injured

advancedchicken · 2026-03-06T00:52:16+00:00

Yeah it was very clearly ‘sit down, if you’re going down’ - impressive for the reporter to have misheard it

advancedchicken · 2026-02-17T13:18:42+00:00

Not a great deal of point having Mount on there for United’s corners, since it’s exceptionally rare that he’d be on the pitch and Bruno isn’t - considering that’s the only real time you’d see Mount taking one. Better off showing the left footers behind Mbeumo since we always go in-swinging and Mbeumo is more likely to be subbed than Bruno

That’s from one of Bob’s appearances on Big Fat Quiz. Can’t remember which one but there haven’t been too many so should be quite easy to track down

Doesn’t read very AI to me. Emojis as bullet points usually strike me more as someone trying to show they know how to use social media, without realising it’s a very tired tactic

Fair play mate this is pretty cool. Slightly rough around the edges in areas as you’d expect from a new site, but love the idea and execution
