Season 1 of True Detective is excellent viewing, Season 2 was a bit hit and miss..

What you need to know about True Detective: Alexandra Daddario :pac:

Playstation's Oculus Rift killer, the PSVR, is launching in October for €399. Great price point compared to the Rift and HTC's Vive.

Cinematic mode allows you to watch videos on a screen thats the same as a 255 in screen, 2.5 metres from your eyes. Your own private cinema!

1st True Detective is excellent, definitely worth watching. I thought the second one was poor in the first half and good in the second so if you think you can get through 4 poor-average convuluted episodes I think it pays you back for it after.

Stereomaniac

Even if the second series had been better it would have been nearly impossible to live up to the standard set by the first one. But definitely watch them both. Is it coming back again?

Was betting on the horses for cheltenham (small.for fun) and flicked through the threads each day on horse racing forum, my god it was like a utd v pool match thread! It really does happen everywhere here doesnt it. Ive seen it too on munster v leinster threads and after hours on a sat night or when a major event happens. Just abdolute needless nonsense!

Never seen it really bad on PW tho thankfully.

@MODS every messy here? Esp this time of year with Mania and blow ins?

That'll be an interesting fight if it happens, hopefully McGregor has learnt his lesson after UFC 196 and avoids getting tapped by Diaz, and yes it will be a welterweight non title fight.. Guessing the UFC want to keep that for McGregor/Dos Anjos somewhere down the line..

I'm crossing my fingers it happens.. Preferably Man United sneaking 4th place.. Ever since City announced Pellegrini was leaving at season's end, the players have seemed to down tools completely, and I took great pleasure in winding up the City fan I know after today's result, pleased she was not

I do get the feeling the likes of yaya toure and demichelis(to a lesser extent) know their days as a city player are numbered and they just couldnt be fu**ed fighting for a CL spot.
Sure hope so anyway then we get in mourinho and let the crazy mind games begin

I think Pep would keep Yaya Toure, but he'd need to deliver game after game, can't slack off when it goes sideways... Demichelis, Rashford absolutely skinned him this afternoon, and made a fool of him for the goal

There will be a lot of coming and going at City in the summer months me thinks.. Mourinho vs. Pep would certainly be some way to spice up the derby...

Kankan14

I was under the impression the reason yaya left barca was because he didn't fit peps plans/style.
Ya either way they'll sign 4 or 5 top players this summer imo.

Rashford has so much potential just need the british media machine not to hype him up to death

Bounty Hunter

This summer will be the craziest in terms of premiership transfer fees I can remember for so many reasons.


1) There is increased spending from traditional "Smaller clubs" already due to the new TV deal (see W.Ham linked to players like Lacazette and Oxlade-Chamberlain over the weekend for example.
2) Pep to City where he was no doubt guaranteed a big cash warchest to build his team this will esp be the case with them a good bit off the pace this year.
3) Mouriniho to Utd although tbh just Utd being united cos they have been spending like mad be it Moyes or LVG and I doubt that'll change in Jose's first season esp given how threadbare the squad has been for much of this season.
4) Chelsea with a new manager as well (probably Conte) trying to get last years champions back in the mix and having to potentially replace playrs like Terry and Hazard.
5) Klopps first Summer at Liverpool as he tries to put his stamp on the team and compete with the above
6) Speaking of competing with the above Arsenal have the money as they showed with Ozil / Sanchez and if they don't spend it this summer not only will their fans go mad cos everyones seen their cash reserves but they will also no doubt be passed out and maybe lose out on CL footie let alone the league.
7) If Rafa is at Newcastle (as in if they stay up) he has no doubt been offered a decent warchest too)
8) Spurs & Leicester will have champions league football to offer players and will wanna bring in quality while they do in the hope that it won't only be next season that they can offer that to them.
9) newly promoted teams spending their TV money a la Bournemouth in January so that they can hopefully stay in the premiership or at least set themselves up to be capable of bouncing back the following year.

Eddie Howe's budget at Bournemouth is going from trying to turnover 100k to break even a couple of years ago to having circa 50million to spend this summer is gonna be epic to watch.

sky88

I think next year could be an even weirder season then this with the money invovled.

Even the suppossed smaller clubs can buy 20 million pound players which can drastically change the league as well as being able to offer more wages.

eh i dunno

I think he has probably spent nearly 50m in the last 9 months already.

Ya I was just throwing that figure out there. The power of premier league money really is unreal.

Makes me wonder why villa higher up gave up about 4 months ago. Surely worth fighting tooth and nail to avoid the drop this year of all years.

Hasn't there been a billion spent in the last year in the PL yet the standard of it(especially the big clubs) is still quite poor.
