    General Videogame Thread

    It was brilliant, and I'm interested to see how it holds up today, how it plays on consoles/game controllers and whether they've made gameplay tweaks to resonate with today's gamers. I just recently bought Diablo 3 for PS4, having played through it on PS3, because I want to play as the...

    Covid and travel discussion

    Haha well, we I have the QR code, applied for card but may take a few weeks. Gatwick, via Westjet. That's a good idea, I'll look into that option.

    Covid and travel discussion

    Canada only accepts PCR, unfortunately. And I think I still need to provide my proof of vaccination when I arrive in the UK, which itself has become a mission - vaccinations/healthcare in Canada is provincial, so whilst I have my little Manitoba vaccine card/QR code, I'll have to obtain a...

    Covid and travel discussion

    Mine might be 72 hours too, actually. Fortunately I'm just connecting through Toronto. I presume my final test leaving England would need to be at a lab as I need the results quick, but I've been told the Day 2 test can be a home/mail-in kit. Is that right? Also was quoted 160 pounds for a...

    Covid and travel discussion

    Canada is now on the green list so I'm hoping to come back for Christmas. If I'm understanding this correctly, to come to England from a green list country I must: - Get tested in Canada 48 hours before I leave, and show it on arrival to UK airport - Bring my vaccination record/proof - Get...

    Low cost airlines, love 'em or hate 'em

    They've given travel opportunities to many people who might otherwise be unable to afford them. Yes, you're treated a bit like cattle and milked at every given opportunity, but then what do you expect for such cheap flights? I mean, it's cheaper than going by train a lot of the time. I've flown...

    Player abuse following Euro 2020

    It wouldn't surprise me at all, and I've been wondering the same thing. Just look at the crap Sterling gets on our official Twitter and Facebook pages from people who are 'Mahrez fans'. Obviously there is a worrying (and depressingly predictable) amount coming from English fans, too, but I do...

    Past Managers you would have liked to see at City

    I remember Hiddink claiming that City had spoken to him back in around 2008-2009. I think he would have been very good for us, always rated him.

    Ps5 or Xbox series

    It's all speculation at the moment, and as far as I'm aware there's been no confirmation as to whether ES6 will be X-Box/PC exclusive. Just because Bethesda has been bought by Microsoft, doesn't mean they can't/won't make games for other platforms; there have been other studios bought by...

    Carlos Tevez | How do City fans remember him?

    The more I learn about Mancini from ex-players speaking out, the more inclined I am to believe that the Munich spat was more his fault than it was Tevez's. I don't think I fully appreciated him when we had him, but looking back I realise just how good he was. Maybe not a prolific goalscorer...

    Paranormal Experiences

    I highly recommend the podcast 'Radio Rental' (you can find it on Acast). It's a compilation of real people telling weird and creepy stories; some seemingly paranormal, some factual but odd. I'm skeptical and scientifically-inclined, don't believe in the paranormal, but the stories are...

    Dating site experiences and shock horror meetings!

    Some years ago when I bought my first house I thought I should take advantage of having my own space and jumped onto a very convenient dating app (can't remember which one, wasn't Tinder, might have been POF). Met a Bulgarian lady on there who was a fair bit older - I was 28 and she was nearly...

    Pick one retired player, living or dead, to add to the current team.

    City players, I'd say Tevez was tailor made for this side, thought I'd love to have had a peak Benarbia, too. As for non-City players, Ashley Cole was probably the best left-back I've seen, and that's not exactly a position we've been blessed in.

    Examples of stupidity.

    I knew a girl at university who was studying law, who thought that unicorns and mermaids had once existed. Now unicorns I can kind of forgive - it's just a horse with a horn on its head, after all - but mermaids? Another lass I knew, who was studying medicine, got into a discussion about the...

    Good old fashioned pitch invasion

    My first and only was the Wigan home play-off semi-final. My mate and I got our picture in the MEN, sporting our 90s curtains. Still have a copy. We had driven all the way up from Bedford on a school night, right in the middle of our GCSE exams. What a night that was.

    Where is the single most beautiful place you have been?

    The Outer Hebrides, particularly the Isle of Harris, is a beautiful place. Bath is probably the most beautiful city in the U.K. Abroad, I think Sorrento near Naples is also lovely (like most of the Amalfi Coast), and Budapest is probably my favourite city in the world (that mix of Roman...

    General Videogame Thread

    I didn't like it at first. Was expecting something akin to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series, but the campaign was just a long tutorial and most of the features, tricks and techniques that are introduced are kind of pointless gimic (I never use drift, for example, or scanning). However, I do love...

    Mancini or Pep era?

    Pep is always going to be bigger than any team he manages. There are very few managers who have that personality and stature; I'd say Mourinho is possibly the only other one who has that. The problem with this is that it overrides the identity of the club/team they manage. To me it feels very...

    General Videogame Thread

    I just started playing it last week, having it it on my pile of shame for three years. I played the first one on PC because it was built using Neverwinter Nights (of which I was a big fan), but didn't get round to playing the second game. My sense so far is that, story-wise, the second game is...

    Stuart Pearce

    Met him once after a game, 1-0 home win against Palace in Div 1. My Dad had been invited to do the whole 'present the match ball' corporate thing so the whole family went. Met a lot of ex players and current staff that day; Mike Summerbee in particular was great - we had a mutual family friend -...
