I think Infinity Ward have had the better critical response to their games, so they're probably the best.

Plus you've got the whole thing with the development alternating between Infinity Ward and Treyarch.

How good is he, has anybody seen him play? If someone puts a link to that site on here I make a point of no clicking on it regardless.

November 10th I believe.

This is one good looking game.

With regards to our kit, I expect there was talk of it being the height of new kit technology and that it will increase the players performance by X%, that would have sold it to the club regardless of what it looked like. Also wasn't there a rule brought in that kits had to remain the same for two seasons, or does that only apply to national teams?

Yep, I'll probably be buying it upon my return to England.

I've only seen our new home one and I quite like it, I certainly prefer it to last seasons one.

After looking and laughing at the new Newcastle kit, I decided to pay a visit to the Official Chelsea site, to see if there was any word on when our new away kits would be unveiled. I was greeted by this embarrassingly ghastly bit of design, it looks like it was done by some work experience kid using MS Paint!!

Truly one of the worst kits I've ever seen.

Phew what a relief, I really think we dodged a bullet on this one. For me, once you join Liverpool you're fair game, so I hope he gets the booing of his life when we play them.

Caught By The Fuzz by Supergrass. Asking someone to marry you

Nope, no relation.

Bored.

Robinson Crusoe!! Budum-tish.

Michael Owen: The Athlete, The Ambassador, The Icon... The Tosser.

"Brand Values - Clean & Fresh" At least we know he washes. The whole thing is tragic but still very funny, saying that I imagine quite a few pros have a similar brochure knocking about. Also notice no mention of his gambling habit.

I need to pull my finger out and arrest my slide down the table, I'm plumping for A6. Fingers crossed.

I wasn't aware Montserrat Caballé was that interested in football? :D

Citeh set to bid £12m for Kolo Toure now that Arsenal have wrapped up the signing of Thomas Vermaelen for £10m. City set to bid £12m for Toure (Times Online)

Looks like Liverpool have done what we did with Robinho last season. Liverpool start selling Johnson shirts

Spot on. :lol:
