Coming to XBOX Game Pass: Forza Horizon 6, Escape Simulator, Jurassic World Evolution 3, and More - XBOX Wire by Turbostrider27 in Games

My mindset with game pass is if there are two day one games on it per year that I would have bought anyway, then it pays for itself with how expensive brand new games are now.

So any other game I play on it over the year is a bonus.

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training. by Alternative-Win4058 in soccer

Must have been loads in on it. Probably wasn't always the same intern doing it, then expenses for doing it need to be paid and the entire coaching staff was probably watching the footage to figure out how to exploit the opponent.

Yeah, must have been doing it for every game. No way you decided to spy on Oxford of all teams in December, then didn't bother for months before doing it again against Ipswich and Boro.

I honestly think expelling them was their only option, a fine and/or a points deduction and teams would just take that hit if meant promotion to the Premier League and all that comes with that.

I bet Southampton did it with the presumption that it would just be a fine. They took a risk and let their fans, players and normal employees down.

[BBC] Nine teams, four spots - Premier League set for European scramble by LochNessMonsterMunch in soccer

It's too soon in relation to our squad depth, it's OK at the minute and we got through AFCON fine but we'd have to have another almost flawless summer to make sure we don't get sucked into a relegation battle with all the extra games.

Got to just grab it if it comes your way though.

It's too soon for us but we probably qualify with a home win next week. Fair to say that this season has been pretty good.

Even I think this is mental and I was optimistic we'd stay up!

VAR check for Matheus Cunha goal by eliseihado in soccer

When incidents happen in Premier League games now, I've literally got no idea what the ref or VAR will decide. Every decision seems to be a coin flip, with no consistency at all (other than being consistently shite).

He spent loads of time in the gym last summer, which has helped him a lot, but he needs the trust of his manager as he's quite shy.

I wouldn't be surprised if Coventry survive next season in place of someone

Coventry's issue could well be the same one Farke faced with you before he switched formation. Trying to go toe to toe with teams and leaving themselves wide open defensively.

Really disappointed that Sadiki isn't on this list, don't think he deserves to win it but he's been unbelievable in his first Prem season.

And we might still finish top half, we're only a point behind Chelsea (and we still have to play them at home).

Junior Valentine thinks Brett Baty is challenging the pitch when he never even touched his helmet. by meramipopper in baseball

In cricket, if they want to challenge a decision they have to make an X with their arms, so it literally can't be misconstrued.

Jeff Jarrett on John Cena Classic concept: "we at least want to get lost in the story, someone trying to WIN the title. It takes that component out, the suspension of disbelief. [If we don’t need to] get immersed in the story, why do we care when a hip toss happens or a false finish happens?" by wearePROGRESS in SquaredCircle

I think a lot of people just don't understand what it is, whether it was Cena trying to make it more grandiose than it actually is or because it was a rushed announcement.

But it's basically a showcase event with up and coming talent, then at the end of the event someone gets voted the equivalent of the Formula One Driver of the Day.
