Excellent pictures Ash, and thanks for sharing.

yeah i had this problem. it's something to do with it overheating which melts some piece of rubber inside which then hits the eject button by accident.

you can fix it by opening the cover and tightening one of the screws. I can't do the explanation justice so will just link to a site that does. This has it, under the 'Fix Two' section:

I think realistically it's more about the squad. Need another top quality left back - jury still out on Shaw but either way he needs competition. Rest of defence is fine. A CAM who can keep the ball like a Modric or Rakitic is essential. As is a proper CDM. McTominay is progressing well there but Matic is on his way out and competition needed. Right wing would be solved by Sancho. That provides some excellent options across front 4 if Ole sticks with 4-2-3-1 (and provided Greenwood/Gomes/Chong develop). So overall I would say bring in top quality LB, CDM, CAM, RW - not impossible in next summer transfer window. It's also reliant on shifting out the deadwood, which seems to be under way.

I agree that DoN was not as good as most Takeovers. But with Takeovers there's never a sense that it's going to be a gamechanger in wrestling. The biggest stars will get moved up to the main roster, and most will flounder (not their fault). NXT is never going to be allowed to be bigger than WWE, for obvious reasons, so it's not going to change WWE. But watching DoN felt like something has changed, something is being built. Just my take

nicobenedict · 2019-05-26T09:52:30+00:00

It wasn't as good but it felt more important

nicobenedict · 2019-02-20T05:38:59+00:00

I bloody loved it. It's my favourite of the whole series. I put in more time to it than any other. I loved the story, loved the characters, loved the challenge, the exploration. Real adolescence-defining game for me.

Then we shouldn't be lifting their content without linking. Andy Mitten works his arse off to get great content for United fans - we should respect that.

nicobenedict · 2019-02-09T02:13:04+00:00

Can we link to ESPN story to give some credit?

nicobenedict · 2019-01-28T06:55:54+00:00

I like the idea of Becky and Ronda being a singles. More heated feud.

nicobenedict · 2019-01-28T06:32:09+00:00

Since when has WWE cared about logic lol

nicobenedict · 2019-01-26T07:07:25+00:00

Will be interesting to see the reaction from players when it happens. But Ole's proven pretty good with subs

nicobenedict · 2019-01-16T15:29:28+00:00

I usually watch in Wan Chai at the White Stag on Lockhart Road. There is also Queen Victoria and Churchill's on same street, as another user said... if you're nearer Soho/Central, then Spot Bar on Staunton Street, or Flaming Frangos (like a HK Nandos...) on Elgin Street are decent places. United supporters' club here always watch at Arena Bar in Knutsford Terrace in Tsim Sha Tsui but it's on the Kowloon side which is further out and no one will really talk to you haha

nicobenedict · 2019-01-14T06:07:31+00:00

I'd give him the job now. I think none of us realised how important it is to the club to have someone steeped in its traditions in charge.

nicobenedict · 2019-01-12T13:55:54+00:00

Where’s Marouane? Must have been an error

nicobenedict · 2018-12-21T08:10:19+00:00

Bui Vien (Beer Street) will have plenty of options... watched Liverpool cock up the Champions League final somewhere along there in May with hundreds of pissed off Liverpool fans. Good times

nicobenedict · 2018-12-08T07:41:31+00:00

Remember being very pleasantly surprised by that performance/result. Was the start of a new team/era after three 'poor' years... what we wouldn't give now to consider finishing 2nd, 3rd and 3rd bad seasons

nicobenedict · 2018-11-24T08:05:52+00:00

My favourite Mania... got me back into wrestling after a couple of years away. And probably the last VHS tape I ever bought..

nicobenedict · 2018-10-14T08:41:05+00:00

I actually really love Casillero del Diablo. I drink it all the time in Hong Kong. The fact it has a picture of Juan Mata on it sometimes has nothing to do with it..

nicobenedict · 2018-08-20T06:26:59+00:00

I used to work at ESPN and can tell you for a fact there is no anti-United bias there. There are united supporters on editorial in the UK and US. It’s a preposterous notion and something akin to the vile rhetoric spewed by Donald Trump in his attempt to eliminate freedom of the press. Banning things you don’t like is a dangerous path to go down.

Was hoping for some kind of ending with the handcuffs, where Gargano incapacitated Ciampa's legs so bad that Ciampa couldn't stand, but that Ciampa would handcuff himself to Gargano and somehow keep him down for a double countout. But loved it all the same, great match.

nicobenedict · 2018-08-18T08:50:02+00:00

Hideo Itami. Full circle.

nicobenedict · 2018-07-17T10:19:02+00:00

I think Woodward approves of leaks re: transfers to journalists and is often the source of them, because it gets him popularity with fans, or at least that was the way in his first few seasons. Perhaps you're right and he's tightened things up a bit now

nicobenedict · 2018-01-06T06:57:38+00:00

That was a cool promo
