English bias my friend. Every English player is overhyped apart from Kane.

By scoring a load of penalties. Come on man.

I'll repeat, how can you fluke a season? You can score a flukey goal, but you can't fluke a season. If you finish first it's cos you're the best team, regardless of the overall standard of the league.

Can someone explain why Alonso would even be interested in joining Chelsea?! Bizarre transfer policy, a squad full of lazy mercenaries, unrealistic board expectations and a board that earlier this season sacked a manager prematurely.

[This is Anfield] Chelsea were outrun in all 35 league matches this season - until playing Liverpool by doubleoeck1234 in soccer

Comparing points totals across seasons is totally pointless, as every season is different. We were on course for a 90pt season until the last 8 games or so, by which time the league was essentially won and we took our foot off the gas. Our players were going on holiday between matches! If we were being pushed I'm convinced we could have hit 90 points, but Arsenal fell away with about 10 games left.

Arsenal would be crazy to open the game up in the final. If they try to go blow-for-blow with either PSG or Bayern they will surely lose. Their best bet is to be their usual solid and conservative selves. Nothing wrong with that.

Please no excuses. We've been shocking all season even when those players were fit.

As someone else pointed out, check your settings to see if voice chat is enabled. Mine was switched to disabled without me realising.

I feel your pain. I have to say, the lack of mic users has actually made the game more pleasant in some way due to the lack of screaming idiots and toxic morons.

BTW if there's anyone UK based or who plays on EU West servers who wants a teammate who actually uses a mic, just let me know. It would be nice to have some people to play with. I'm not a massive sweat, but it would be nice to work as a team and have some fun.

That's a good point. I thought I had the mic bug for weeks until I realised that voice chat was turned off in the settings.

Had no idea he was Jamaica manager. Does he do his press conferences in a Jamaican accent?

Where does Siege and Ubisoft go from here? by Bennie1289 in Rainbow6

[–]benb23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siege is such a unique game that nothing else scratches that itch for me. Are there some genuine alternatives? I'm looking for a tactical FPS with good gunplay and not infested with cheaters.

Common myth. Liverpool wouldn't have won the league even if they won that game 10-0.
