  1. I thought that started off very well, but the ending I thought was complete and utter arse.
  2. What's Shola got to do with this ?

  4. Being firmly in the "armchair" camp, I tend to rant and shout at the TV during matches anyway, but when we score I tend to shout and scream, I managed to wake my kids up last week watching the AZ match.
  5. Whilst I'm not getting too excited due to the disgrace that was Sensible Soccer 2006 (my copy was on eBay within 48hrs) looks like Codemaster's are doing a PC and Xbox version of SWOS, this time leaving the old Amiga code as it is. got this email from them today: Sensible World of Soccer, on Xbox Live Arcade and Vista this summer------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been much-anticipated but finally coming soon: Sensible World ofSoccer - the original and best football game of all time comes toXbox Live Arcade and Windows Vista in the summer! Welcome to the first of the Sensible World of Soccer newsletters,where, over the next few months, I'll be going wild over the latestnews about one of the most thrilling game releases for many a year. I'll also be highlighting in-depth details about the game, throughour SWOS forum articles we started running in mid-February. Firstly, and most importantly, as any fool knows, Sensible World ofSoccer (SWOS) was born out of the original version of Sensible Soccerin 1994. Further iterations came each year until 1997. But it's the1996 game, regarding as the pinnacle of the series, that'll form thebasis of the Xbox Live Arcade/Vista game released this summer. And we're committed *not to change a thing* about the game's coregameplay. For more details on this, check out my forum post on the core code: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/sho...ad.php?t=162898 But what changes will there be to bring the game into the 21stCentury? Well, to make the game dazzle on Xbox 360 and Vista we'vegiven you the option to update the graphics to high-definition if youwant to. As our Director of Casual Gaming recently said on thesubject: "Mode 1 will be the original Amiga game (we haven't touched the coregame code) with enhanced graphics and enhanced game features. Mode 2will be the actual original Amiga game from the mid-90s." Read more of this newsworthy interview here:http://community.codemasters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=157211 We've also highlighted the controls you'll be using in "SensibleWorld of Soccer" this summer. This could be perceived as a boringsubject to some, but as SWOS renowned for its one button action, it'san important one that we had to get right! And the Xbox 360 and PCcontrol system mirrors the simplicity of the original game - thisshould be a 'given' with a game like SWOS. For more details on thecontrols, check out the article here: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/sho...ad.php?t=165648 Finally this month, as if all of this wasn't enough, we're offeringyou the chance to be featured in the game. Yes, you. In Sensible World of Soccer. One of the oft-remembered parts of the SWOS was the weird andwonderful team and player names in the custom team section. So as weupdate these for the new century we're asking for your suggestions,with the best 15 from the community appearing in the final Xbox LiveArcade version of the game! The competition couldn't be simpler. For more details, head over tothe forum thread on the competition, here: http://community.codemasters.com/forum/sho...ad.php?t=164152 One word of advice though; get your team in quick - the competitionfinishes this coming Monday, the 19th, at 9am! I'll be back with more news as we approach launch in four weeks - butfor now, enjoy the football, anticipate the return of SWOS andcelebrate!

    Agreed, a better indication would be how many people went to see it twice.
  17. If Gates has gone for good the best thing that could happen for the show is that they replace MacDullard and Slaven too.
  18. Today's Chronicle The two legends? Mar 10 2007 By Gareth Deighan, The Evening Chronicle Legends Macdonald, Gates and Slavin Speculation is rife that Eric Gates may move on from the Century FM Legends team. Former Sunderland and England striker Gates has been left out of the Three Legends starting line-up, one of the most popular shows on North East radio. It is thought to have happened after the BBC allegedly moved in for a triple transfer that was turned down, and that Gates was dropped to the bench after the talks. The Chronicle has heard he has subsequently been put on "gardening leave" from the show. It is thought Gates, who was born in Durham City but who started his career at Ipswich when just 15, has been told he must turn up each night for the show, will keep getting paid, but will not be allowed on air. Toon legend Malcolm "Supermac" Macdonald, who appears alongside Boro's Bernie Slaven, said: "All I know is that Bernie and I are on air and will continue with the show to the best of our ability." A spokesman for Century FM maintained that Gates was still "very much part of the Legends team". He refused to comment on rumours of a bust-up being to blame. He said Gates was still in the station's plans and it was looking for extra "guest" speakers to fight the Black Cats' corner on the show. Century FM says it has already had e-mails from many Legends fans and programme controller Paul Smith provided this response: "The Three Legends is one of the most popular programmes on radio in the North East, and is important both to the station and to the tens of thousands of listeners who enjoy it. "The decision to continue in the short term with two regular presenters instead of three hasn't been taken lightly; after all, there is no sense whatsoever in deliberately spoiling a show enjoyed by so many. "We're keen that Sunderland is fairly represented on the show, and to that end we'll be having guest presenters on the show, and Eric Gates may return to the Three Legends from time to time too. "Ultimately, the show relies - as it always has done - on the views and opinions of the fans. Without them the show is nothing. I'd hope you and other fans passionate about football in the North East continue to contribute." John Myers, chief executive of Century's parent company GMG Radio, said earlier he was aware the BBC was interested in the show's presenters, but a deal was not about to take place. He said: "They're contracted to us under an exclusive contract until autumn 2008, and after that there is a three-month exclusion clause, which means they wouldn't be allowed to enter into a contract with another broadcaster until late in 2008. "I know the BBC has been after them for some time and has been talking to them, but they can't really go anywhere." Ex-Sunderland players John Byrne, Gordon Armstrong and Marco Gabbiadini are early favourites to appear on the show. A spokesman for the BBC declined to confirm that it is interested in the current Legends.
  19. Thats a shame, he came across as decent bloke, and spoke more sense than those other twats on the show.
