Just found out that the people who still work at GAME that I used to work with really hate me now Ive mentioned once or twice on FB that bee.com (who I work for now) are getting in all the things GAME aren't or can't honour preorders on and apparently theyve all taken it extremely personally, to the point of posting pics of our front window which had been smashed up sunday night as an attempted break in and having a good laugh at it

Heart Attack at 38! RIP

which he was...but since he should've been is there a problem with that? "trying to get the rules of the game properly enforced" doesn't quite have the same ring to it I guess

thing is, this happens because players (rightly) think that the ref will not properly punish and incident if they don't react to it. if Tiote had just stood there and rubbed his face a little Dean wouldn't have sent him off which would have been the wrong decision

heard a lot of rumblings that tiote should have been sent off, so I figured, "hm maybe we've all just got the black and white tinted specs on, I'll have a read of a few match reports and see if any neutrals think so" oddly enough they all seem to be pointing to the fact that cattermole should have been sent off inside a minute and the fact we had more than one good penalty appeal turned down...funny that

delighted with his own "celebrity" status nowadays glossing over the fact it was that very cockup that gave him any in the first place

I loved the look on his face just as Dean approached it was like a "what? what you gunna do eh?...oh...oh yeh right..."

the thing about the smearing shit is to do it surely youve got to get your hands covered in shit right? is it your own? is it someone elses? whats worse? that a bloke will have to spend a hour or so hosing it down or getting your own hands covered in shit?

Keegan wouldn't even say the new name on telly then good lad!

Redknapp and Sullivan

What release clause is that CT?

I was the same, my Vox is worth fuck all

er someone from the same division as as many of them as possible. make sure he likes your formation that can make a massive difference

most playing in the right formation, most in the right position, most of them are brazilian if he had a brazilian manager with a green formation he was easily into 100

only a couple there I don't recognise

it is a real changer. GAME are in trouble because they negotiated supply deals directly with publishers rather than a distributor and had a credit system in place basically allowing them to get stock, sell it, then pay for it, basically allowing them to operate on a level beyond their own cash reserves. this no longer works for EA and (apparently) Nintendo who now want their money up front which doesn't work for GAME because they have entrenched themselves in this particular system of business so they can't afford to do that. they still do massive amounts of business within that system but you can't just flip a switch in system like that without being crippled which is what we're seeing. to argue that the (potential) demise of GAME isn't a big change in the game retail industry is to be wrong.
