What the **** was Clark doing there?!

**** hell.

Nicely read Downing.

Excellent Collins.

Cuellar with the vital block again.

Tackle Carlos.

What an awful corner.

Headless chickens going forward.

In the stands. It's had it's moments where it's been first rate, but then for long periods it's just gone flat. Perhaps I've just noticed more than usual.

Weird atmosphere in this game, incredibly flat. It's almost palpably anxious somehow.

A lot better than I expected but still it isn't quite right. We're disciplined and looked reasonably comfortable until Citeh bothered to turn up, but we just create enough still for me. Petrov's been the player of the half, he's been first rate. He's needed to be to be fair. Great in possession some fantastic passes (that sweeping ball out to Gabby on the left, inch perfect and made a chance for us from being under pressure) and most of all, some great tackles, clean and committed. The left side is all wrong though. Gabby is no winger, not by any means, and Clark really doesn't do himself any favours at LB. We need to take the discipline that we've got and start to make Citeh worry. At the moment any passage of play for us is a case of Citeh waiting till we gift the ball to them. Obvious congrats to Bent, how longs it been since we've had a proper poacher? And Cuellar too, he mightn't be a natural RB but he covers the defence so well, master of the diving block/tackle.

If we're seeing Gabby being played as a genuine winger again, especially on the left, I'll be depressed.

I don't. Bent doesn't do partnerships and Gabby has pretty much always looked more comfortable doing things on his own because he's too thick to read runs or make them himself.

That team has disaster written all over it. I mean I rate Petrov but he can't do all the donkey work in that midfield, he'll have a heart attack.

Can only see a loss.

Oh get over yourself, whatever I think of this has the sum total of the square root of **** all to do with your thoughts on it.

An anthem is something that arises naturally. This isn't. It won't work. Besides, we've already got anthems - no one sings them in their entirety, few people care.

They'd need to make a u-turn on battery powered electric cars then. It's not even actually an electric car tbf, it's a hybrid. EDIT - Saying that, it's a nice looking thing. got a hint of the XJ220 about it.

Given Top Gears well known disdain for concept cars, and especially Jag concept cars, I'm surprised they're looking at it in any depth.

Ocarina of Time isn't a launch title, in the UK at least. The launch line up is fairly shite, Street Fighter being the main title to get interest atm. I think the 3DS may sell well eventually but I can't even see the hardcore Nintendo fanbase keeping the thing going over here anyway from an early adopter point of view - the price and problems will see to that. The price verges on obscene, especially when you consider that given Nintendos current business strategy is to make money on consoles, I'd be very keen to see how much profit is in there. Software prices might nobble it too.. I really dont see it being the raving success the DS was at more or less any point in its life without it becoming immesnely cheaper and improved - better battery life, better viewing angles on the 3D, homogenised 3D optimisation etc etc.

The push for these things has begun, what do we all think? Glasses free 3D, pretty damn good graphics, fully backwards compatable with old DS games, accelerometer, takes 3D pictures, etc etc. It's also £230(!), and has an 8 hour battery life at best, the 3D tech goes out of whack if you go even a tad off centre with it and it gives you an awful headache in the first few uses, amongst other problems. I just can't see this continuing the massive hit the DS has been.

What on earth is body butter?

You haven't got any bollocks. I can't say I've ever done the talc on the family jewels myself, but this topic almost makes me want to try.

He means Bane, not Bale. In the comics, thats this fella . His back story is that he was raised in an prison in South America for tedious narrative reasoning, during which time he has plenty of time to develop his natural skills - he's very intelligent and also bloody strong and likes murdering people. He eventually gets used a test subject for a chemical with a silly name (Venom) that he gets addicted to and makes him even more immensely strong. He eventually gets it into his head he needs to kill Batman for even more tedious reasons. A lot of Batman fans love the character, he's one of the newer roster (I say newer, he's got to be knocking on for 20 years now) of Batman enemies and got a lot of love for being in a storyline where he cripples Batman by snapping his back over his knee. Personally, I think the character is bollocks if you follow the comic canon. He appeared in the god awful Batman and Robin as a glorified henchman. The problem with your other suggestions Dem is this. The Penguin you either play really straight, which the newer comics have done - which means he ends up just being a gangster with a funny look, or you play it over the top in which case you get Danny De Vito in Batman Returns. And the Riddler is way, way, way too close to the Joker, especially if you play him 'realistically' like Nolan did with Joker - in fact that interpretation of the Joker borrows a bit of the Riddler's gimmick arguably in the trials he puts Batman through in TDK the only difference really is that the Riddler asks the question, and the Joker just set the task. I'm surprised they've gone down the Catwoman route (although to be fair the Warner Bros announcement doesn't expressly state she'll play Catwoman... she does play the character who becomes Catwoman - it's possible he's just named the character as an Easter Egg for the fans... but probably not). I think they may try to play her differently too, bring her in as someone who's took it on herself to replace Batman as he has been made into the enemy at the end of TDK, and ends up being an antihero. That lines been played in the comics before but may work in Nolans universe. Done right, I can see it working. Not sure about Hathaway being able to pull it off but ****, leather catsuit + anne hathaway = eyes on stalks and tongues on the carpet. How they do Bane I really am looking forward to seeing because that character is going need a lot of squeezing into Nolans vision of Batman to remain anywhere near faithful to the original concept of the character whatsoever. I can't see Nolan picking up the Venom serum crap, and I can't really see him sticking to the back story and the abilities of the character, because it's all a bit too silly and stupid.
