Wait...sergio got called up? lol

Yep, quite sure. He wants to win the Olympics just like Pep did when he was a player. He wants to lead Spain to Olympic gold, and both Barca and Pep have given him the green-light to participate.
So it is all up to whether or not Spain want him, which of course they do.

Every year we try to get leagues going and they can never make it. I wish the euro DLC didn't suck because a euro tourney would be fun and quick.

Also, of you want a fun team to play as in FIFA (other than Stoke) try CSKA Moscow. They have five players with 89+ speed. Plus Honda.

Next time we should try a tournament, not a league. I think the game includes and option to make a customized Cup.

Campbell going crazy at the end of MGS2 is still one of the greatest moments in gaming... even if the whole story itself was a mind fuck. lol

I still haven't gotten past act 1 of MGS 4.

I've replayed 2 & 3 to refresh my memory so I'll start 4 when I'm finished my exams.

Just checking Clegg... have you played MGS1?

Not gonna spoil it if you don't know about it, but what happens later on in MGS4 is one of its better moments if you've played MGS1.

I've played all the mainline MGS games except 4.

I know that there are a few returning characters from MGS 1 but not much else.

Somehow I've managed to not be spoiled on the story of 4. I know some people on GAF hate the game but some of my mates rave about it.

I hope he joins Barca!(unlikely lol) Awesome player that deserved more playing time at Madrid, can't be blamed if he wants to leave.

So who will be Madrids bench striker ?

That's funny, of the MGS games I've only played 4 and none of the others. I really liked it, don't listen to "GAF" given that it was also GOTY in 2008 (and again when the voting was redone recently).

Anyway here is everything you need to know about the MGS4 story

Anyone else who's a neutral for the Championship play-offs disappointed at the Cardiff result (so far)? I don't know why, I just think the idea of that derby in the PL is pretty romantic. I guess that means I'm not really a neutral.

That's why. If you're a fan of the other 3 games' story it literally destroys the entire canon beyond repair. If you're a fan of the unique way MGS breaks up gameplay (codec) then enjoy the whole 2 times it's used in the entire game. If you're a fan of the other 3's legendary bosses then you'll hate the badly designed, boring soulless BB corps. If you're a fan of the god-tier hub level design with a million different options and ways to play around of the series then you'll hate the linear, lazy 'levels' of MGS4.

But if you're none of those and your point of comparison is CoD BlOps or something then maybe it seems like a great game. MGS4's biggest problem is how much of a disappointment it is.

Biggest problem for me was the act system, and how there was no flow between environments. One act is one setting, then the next act is another setting, and it just broke the whole game up. David Hayter's overacting was also annoying.

Liverpool and Chelsea have met nine times in the FA Cup, including two semi-finals (most recently in 2006), although they have never met in the final before.


mind blown

and again

As Liverpool and Chelsea had been due to play one another in the Premier League at Anfield on 5 May 2012, the same day as the final, the FA announced that the league game would be postponed until Tuesday 8 May, meaning that the two sides will play each other twice in four days.[16] This is the second consecutive year that the FA Cup final has featured two teams scheduled to play each other in the league on the same weekend as the final, after Manchester City's meeting with Stoke City last season.

Don't think that will happen. And if something does happen, it wont be as bad as Tevez.

He has said countless times that he loves the club, the city, the people and wants to repay Barca for believing in him and paying for his treatment. The only way he will leave I read, is if the club thinks he isn't useful to them anymore and want to get rid of him, otherwise he will stay. But players have said many things and gone the opposite way.
Click to expand...

Probably right. He seems a one club man. Just have to wonder how much the pep effect matters to him. He also has looked a bit frustrated occasionally recently, usually at himself but sometimes it a bit wider. We will find out I guess.
