    Bad for English Football?

    in Off Topic Discussion

    Posted

    I think it's a terrible idea. Sky have revolutionised football coverage and took all the risks, so it's only fair that they get the lions share of the coverage now. Now that pubs can go anywhere for their coverage, that's going to be a fair whack of money not going back into the English game, which cannot be a good thing. They've deliberately not put games on live on a Saturday to help clubs maximise their gate revenues, which is the right way to do it IMHO.

     

    I'd rather pay for the quality of Sky than have some foreign bloke nattering away for less.

    Wanted: OEM Front Bumper.

    Sooo......... i may have had a slight prang this morning :dots:

     

    Bit of a scrape, with virtually no damage to the other car but, unfortunately nie on ripped half my bumper off! :rant:

     

    Was just wondering if anyone had an OEM bumper laying around that i could possibly buy? I have an 04 uk Zed with those washer jets (if this matters...) and if it was in black it would be perfect B) Just drop me a pm or reply below.

     

    Thanks.

    hmmmm.......

     

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say...... im slightly disappointed....

     

    6 years in development for only 200 cars to have been given the "love" treatment.... 800 cars without a cockpit view or high res finish! And why have a bought a well expensive wheel and pedal set-up (ok it was for forza) and polyphony didnt even design a clutch system?!?! Very limited design upgrades/decals/vinyls and NO BRAKE upgrades?!? and dont even get me started on the woeful damage system.... Oh and i thought i would be able to design my own course down to the direction and camber of each corner?? bit misleading.

     

    But at times it still blows me away lol, the handling is top notch (which i suppose is all that really matters) and the premium cars are amazing, better graphics than Forza too. and better tracks. I've not been on the top gear test track yet but im sure that will be amazing! You can really tell a marked difference when you upgrade your cars handling and power and so on which is always nice and the photo mode is to die for :cloud9:

     

    This game has me so confused! I dont know whether to run around telling people this is the best racing sim ever made or thats its a let down! - but for 6 years in develpment and $60 mil down the swanny - i think polyphony missed the chance to have created one of the greatest games ever....... but im still going to play it till my eyes bleed :blush:

    Force India as Martin Brundle put it in the last race, customer merc overtakes the factory one

     

    lol loved that quote!

     

    Its just similar to the mclaren, superfast in a straight line (probably faster than the mclaren at times)

    and not as great in the bends (slower than the mclaren)

     

    Lets hope for some chanagable conditions in the last 5 races to stop the Red Bulls charge! We all know thew Mclarens are best in the rain!

     

    Mind you, the new front foor load test that comes into place at monza might further negate the Red Bulls Advantage to run the nose so low, the wing test from Spa alone seemed to force them to run it slightly higher...

    (unfortunately) i still think Vettel will win the championship. Despite having the overtaking skills of stevie wonder.

     

    Mclaren have a good chance for a 1-2 at the next race but after that the red bull will probably be 0.50secs a lap quicker on all the remaining circuits... and with no aero updates coming in the future for Mclaren they just cant close that gap.

     

    I would love Webber (apart for the mclaren drivers obviously) to win the title as its probably his last chance, the red bull wont be as dominant next year. But there is no denying Vettel is the quickest driver/car comination on the grid. I wouldnt be surprised if he got pole on the last 4/5 races and with a clean start, drove away form everyone. Red Bull will always favour him as he is their career man, ever since he could walk that guy has been wearing red bull overalls.

     

    I think the only hope for Mclaren is to maximise this weekend and then just pick up podiums at every race weekend after.

     

    BUT the Renault is looking stronger and stronger and could put a spanner in the works.

     

    OH and dont be surprised if Adrian Sutil put his Force India on the front row next week, that beast is super scary fast in a striaght line! Just ask Schumacher :blush: But then again i shuold know, it was in our windtunnel B)

    that's because a knife kill in the "old days" used to be a humiliating thing! now its just the norm, the throwing knife has semi taken its place followed closely by pistol kills.

     

    pistols my favourite

    I'm into attempting ridiculous group hug sticky grenade kills...... oh and killing people out right by directly hitting them with stun or flash :lol:

    This is the Henry pass i was taling about, similar sort of style, kicking the ball with what would normally be your planted foot. this is very fun to do! still cant master getting enough power for it to be a sdhot thought like the penalty!

    Immense, i saw it live :thumbs:

     

    Reminds me of Henry doing something similar at Arsenal, but that was just a pass. I was in the Garden for weeks after that one.

     

    I find i relatively simple to do, the hard part is genarating that much bloody power and accuracy, truly a brilliant piece of skill...

    Running costs versus and Evo 8.....

    Anybody got an idea whether an Evo8 would cost ALOT more to run than the Zed?

     

    I have a friend who has been trying to swap his Evo8 for my Zed for ages, i finally had a go in it at the weekend and i must say that the power is addictive, its think its an fq320? that number means nothing to me lol.

     

    I just want to know that in the real world its worth swapping, i mean looks and style the Zed wins hands down, but the the power of the evo... plus it counts as a 4 door saloon so will keep her indoors happy because its got enough room for future children lol !!

     

    Cheers.

    please enlighten me on this vtec, yo. joke

     

    i dont know it, yet the saying plus the pic still made me laugh like mad.

    It's from back in the day when the first Fast & Furious film came out and basically all the technical talk was a load of rubbish.

     

    For example:

    "Like I told you man, you got a massive hole in your fuel map. Adjust that and you'll easily run nines..."

    This reffering to a front wheel drive Nissan Maxima....

     

    So does somebody say v-tec just kicked in, yo?? lets for get about this NOS vs Nitrous jargon and concentrate on the important matters, like me understanding this joke :blush:
