UK Football- the intellects choice!


Recommended Posts

Todaygrand slam sunday proved it was the best sport.

yeah i am well aware many will lok and thin only 2 goals-rubbish!!

i woulkd disagree completely.; i was thoroughly entertained. Liverpool had tonnes of chances to make a crikcket score in the first game and the second game was ridlled with fanatsic football and a dramatic finale. P.S: a terrible result for Spurs!!

Me thinks fat richard has been on the pop. Or he is **** at spelling :laugh:

Anyway, football is played by overpaid nancyboys (the premiership anyway)

Chavs???? what a load of crap!!!

anyway its still the best sport despite the social caliber of alot of its players. a Sport isnt a bad Sport because of the people that play it. Football could be played by a bunch of Nazi's and if they played it well it would still be beautiful to watch.

people must be f*k*n retaded if you dont think football is the best sport in the world. why would it be teh most popular. har does that not cross ur retarded brains. so wat if its played by nancy boys and one for all its not. r u callin vinny jones greham sounes a nancy boy? id like to c u say it to there face and id like to c ur face after coz i can guarantee that it will not look the same.

Im a city fan (man city that is the only city) were s*** but that doesnt mean that footballs bad i have felt a wide range of emotions following my team. the lows of getting relegated from the premiership and division 1 and the euphoria of cumin from 2-0 down in the division 2 playoff final in the last 5 mins at wembley with dickove scoring the wonder goal that took it to penaltys. winnig against spurs when were 3-0 down at half time a man down with barton sent off and analka (our best player at the time) had gone off injured. when john makern scored the winning header in injury time it was such a good feeling. SO DONT U FU**N DAR SAY THAT FOOTBALL IS THE NUMBER 1 SPORT COZ IF YOU DO IT HOWS THAT U R A SUBMNORMAL RETARD!!!!!!!!!. what would be the best sport. american football no, y coz its CRAP

END OF STORY!!!!!!!!

jst like to saw that i missd a word out i ment that if you dare say thta football is NOT the best sport in the world then ur a subnormal retard

Just to add to Tom's point...

Champions League Final 2005. Liverpool are 3-0 down to AC Milan at half time, as the Liverpool players come out for the second half the Liverpool fans are singing You'll Never Walk Alone, Liverpool then go on to win the European Cup for the fifth time.

If anyone who watched that match can tell me that was not a magical night, then there is something wrong with them.

Thugs beating each other up.

Players attacking each other.

Players and managers getting paid far too much money and abusing the game.

Nail hit firmly on the head. It may have been a tactical game at the start, but all these incidents are clouding it. As far as im concerned only the players themselves care about tactics. The fans, yelling racist comments from the stands...thats another story.

at the end of da day. football is the greates sport in the world and no other can come close. END OF STORY!!!!!!!!!

I see great things from you.

I love football. I try to play it as much as possible with my friends. I personally think that it is the greatest sport but if you were to say something along the lines of

SO DONT U FU**N DAR SAY THAT FOOTBALL IS THE NUMBER 1 SPORT COZ IF YOU DO IT HOWS THAT U R A SUBMNORMAL RETARD!!!!!!!!!.

That's not good is it really...

good 1 martyn these ppl who say that football is not the best sport dont know there arse from there elbows

These words come from a true football fan, i rest my case.

as much as i agree with ur statements Tom Barlow did you have to mention the Man city-Spurs game.

that day makes me very :cry:

probably the worst day of my Football supporting life. my mate texted me at half-time saying "i'll book the tickets to Old Trafford" (as we had Man Utd in the next game). Then it all went wrong.

Spurs to batter Liverpool tomorrow :D

a slight error in judgement.

well if Jenas had of scored then u never know what might have happened. i know we have what it takes to beat the great teams- all we need to do is put the ball in back in the net.

my depression now is nothing compared to man city 4-3 however!!

Slight :whistle:...:p.

The fact is, Jenas never scored. I could just say the same about Liverpool. If we took every single chance we had we would of won the league for the last ten seasons! If Kewell never got injured in Istanbul, and Smicer never took his place, would Liverpool have still drew 3-3 with AC Milan and went on to win the Champions League? :blink:

If if if.

people must be f*k*n retaded if you dont think football is the best sport in the world. why would it be teh most popular. har does that not cross ur retarded brains.

The reason Soccer is the most popular is the fact that you only need a ball to play the game. The poorest of the poor and richest of the rich can play. It can be played on sand, grass, dirt, etc...It requires no other equipment such as pads, goals, ice, sticks, helmets, rims, or whatever else. Its the simplest sport in the world to organize. Just a ball and people. Anyone can play....Thats why it is so popular.

I do love to watch Soccer though...but its NOT a contact sport. It has as much contact as Baseball, and I don't consider that to be a contact sport either. It is a beautiful game to watch (at times), but other games are just as if not more beautiful to watch.

But you are a bum :p?

No, i just dont have a job :p

:laugh: I find it slightly immature when somebody says things like this, oh well, I guess thats football for you.

i think Martyns point about the whole Champions League Final in 2005 sums it up...or the comeback or Liverpool to Luton, or what about Middlesbrough in the Uefa cup last year?

Those were some amazing times to be watching the beautiful game,

i agree that it has been clouded by divers, cheats etc, but every once in a while, you see games that just amaze you, you can see why it is called the beautiful game

oh yeah, not to mention the Fa Cup 2006 :)

YNWA :p

A) its football. Not soccer!!!!

B) as much contact as Baseball???? VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY WRONG.

i bet Pedro Mendes disagrees.

Sounds a bit like the Yankees-Red Sox playoff series in 2004...

In 2004, the Red Sox won the season series against the Yankees, but still finished second to their rivals in the AL East for the seventh straight season. Both teams would advance to the ALCS, for the second straight year.

The Yankees, who had home field advantage for the second year in a row, started out strong, winning the first three games, and putting an exclamation point on their Game 3 victory with an eleven run win. Most observers believed that "the Curse of the Bambino" was still going strong, as no team had ever come from being three games down to win any series in the history of baseball. Everything seemed to be going the Yankees' way entering the ninth inning of Game 4 at Fenway, when Mariano Rivera came in to seal the victory with his team up by a run, three outs away from a sweep. However, he walked leadoff batter Kevin Millar. Pinch-runner Dave Roberts stole second and came around to score on an RBI single by Bill Mueller, tying the game. The Red Sox would go on to win the game in the bottom of the 12th inning with a home run by David Ortiz.

From there, the Red Sox went on to win three more games in a row, winning Game 7 at Yankee Stadium by seven runs. This was the first time in baseball that team had come back from a 0-3 deficit in a best of seven series, though it has been accomplished twice in the National Hockey League. After having finally achieved a major and historic victory over the Yankees, the 2004 World Series seemed almost pedestrian and anticlimactic, with the Red Sox over-powering the St. Louis Cardinals in four games for their first World Series crown in 86 years.

Liverpool were practically nonexistant in the first half (it looked that they were going to inevitably lose 3-0, or more if they carried on playing like they were). They came out the 2nd half a completely different team.

I saw the game, and I agree it was a sporting marvel. However, I'm arguing that these kind of amazing comebacks don't just occur in football, which seemed to be part of Martyns point.

Alot of sports have their good side / bad sides.

I would never spout that football is the best ever sport in the world though. It clearly isn't as each person has their own preference to what they choose to like.

I love football yes, it's part of me and the main reason being is this city I live in is based around the sport. Alot of people will support Everton or Liverpool, I myself took Liverpool. but as I've grown up football has evolved and theirs alot of things which I don't like inside the game to make it a great sport, one thing football isn't is fair and this wasn't the case years back. But now the 'beautiful' game has alot of corrupt things happening that it's a bit of a downer situation.

But don't get me wrong it is an amazing sport and I will always follow Liverpool till I die. But there's a few things that need to be sorted out.

I like some aspects of how american sports are they seem very well organised and if we could implement some of those ideas then it'd be much better. i.e 2 referees.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
